today was most definitely the longest day i have ever spent doing stuff.
i got up at like 7:30/8 and went to ozzy's. got him and went to Joe's diner for some fucking food. that place is the balls. we went back to my house quickly and went to guitar center after that. picked out his new guitar but couldnt get it cause of some crap. so we picked up mike in attleboro and went to ozzys to work on songs for our new band. got some stuff down and im hoping this band lasts. went back to GC and bought the guitar and looked at some drums with justin. brought mike home. went to the mall. went back to GC. didnt get the drums but he will soon. went back to the mall and saw lots of people there. went to newbs and saw more people there. then we left and got some food and then i came home at like 10:15. i wish hanging out with my friends could be my full time job. it will be soon enough.
no real plans yet for tomorrow. might have to go to the dump again. probably go out tomorrow night. we'll find something to do.
