So today, im checking my myspace.. and i see a message from a shaant. Ok, now the only person i know named shaant is the singer from one of the best local bands Cute is what we aim for ... Shaant was also in cherry bing.. Ok, so i was thinking nah, there is no way in hell this could be the shaant from Cute.. i click on the message and.. sure enough it was.. He was just being really cool, saying "I was told to check out your band" and he was giving me pointers, on how to make ourselves better as musicians.. just tips that he says he wish he would of gotten when he was starting. He also said, that he did like the music, "sunday night".. and to send him the new stuff ASAP!!! which is so effing cool.. you really dont have a respect for it unless you look at it like this "shaant is in a band big enough to get signed to maverick records (jack's mannequin) or atleast it is rumored that cute signed to maverick. What also is cooler, as that this guy that i never talked to on myspace, or in real life, took his time to write me a lengthy email, stating that he liked my band, and my songs.. and that it would only get better cuz we were "hella young" <-- yes he said that lol.. he also told me that he could tell that i really wanted music to be my life, by the way i described everything.. Which basically i do.. music is what i want to do.. i wanna live out of a van, i wanna wake up every morning knowing i will meet new people tonight, i wanna arrive at a show knowing that not everyone will like the music, but there will be the people that will like it, and support us from there on out.. It's very cool that he can tell that i want this.. because i am always unsure about if it will ever happen, cuz were just starting but i always compare us to believe in you, we arent even at 10% of how good they are, and they arent signed yet, so this next 3 years of my life is gonna be alot of fucking work to get my life where i want it to be.. i am willing to work my ass off..
i cant leave on that note though.. i apologize for those last three posts well actually the past two (minus jacks' mannequin) someimes i wonder why i get myself to meet new girls, and want to be wkith them.. it's just more stress on me.. cuz my called get ignored, i dont get calls back.. but whatever thats fine.. "you want it this way, and thats fine, cuz i give up trying to be with you" All i know is .. i have an amazing bunch of awesome ass kids, that will do anything for me.. i just want you to know that the feeling is mutual, and if you guys ever need anything i'm here for you 110%.. i never had the oppurtunity to make this statement neither.. THIS GOES OUT TO THE REGULARS FOR HV (you dont have to read if im boringyou) First off, to everyone that made it out to a hv show, listened to us on purevolume, bought a c.d., added us as a friend on myspace.. we all thank you.. you guys were the shit.. you all showed up and supported hv the first week we formed, and helped us win the battle of the bands which shouldnt of happened!!!! To all who were not there, and dont know. HV formed a week before the battle of the bands.. we were signed up, cuz i signed up as AML.. kk.. aml was no more though and i was just gonna cancel our sub,mission. That week dustin and i went to reeds, we recorded 3 songs.. (real shitty might i add it took us an hour to record 3 songs, plus it was our first practice) That 3 song c.d was all we had to run off of. Cuz we didnt practice at all that week lol.. e figured we would play the battle of the bands just to get our first show out of the way at a rather big one, just so we got used to it.. well we had a very good amount of kidds show up for us.. and they had us win that battle of the bands .. which we didnt think at all would happen.. When reed and i left the place, we didnt expect to win.. at 12:20 at night we got a phone call at reeds telling us we won. it was amazing, and Thanks guys.. You supported us on our c.d. release show, and let me just say this. HV ended because we rushed ourselves we had 10 songs written in 2 monthes.. it drained out ideas.. and minds.. and it just got old playing old songs.. i would love to be in hv again.. and there is that possibility that it may happen even if i am in maryvale with nick (which i love too) hv may start up again though in fact reed and i are most likely recording a new song we wrote the other day. tonight! so be on the look out.. it may be a good time, if hv comes back.. we can totally put down all the PARTY WHORES!! haha.. Reed, and Dustin if you are reading this, this is for you guys.. You two are my best friends.. and man. we had a good beginning, and i am game to keep it going.. we had so much fun on stage, and some pretty good damn crowds. I never told you guys this.. but june 24th when hv was supposed to play at fast freddies, we were headlining that.. which was pretty sweet. I had so much fun with you guys.. recording, practicing 'I think my hair's longer on this side" "are you sure" .. it was just an overall good experience to be with two of my best friends wriing and performing good music.. i love you guys.. and you guys really helped me in a tough time in my life.. and i really with all my heart appreciate every bit...
Thank you, for taking the time to read this.
to my friends, i am here for you like always!
O and i also.. would like to thank Mallory Sutter, And Courtney Ferron for giving me the oppurtunity to become your guys friend. That means alot to me.. and hopefully alot of good times to come! I Love you guys!
