Hello to all. Well, it is yet another year gone. 2005 was definitely filled with it's ups and downs. I have lost a few friends. I have gained a lot of friends. Which I am very happy for the certain people that I have meet. I did some stupid shit the year before. Which I then corrected at the beginning of the year. Thank god for that. I have still made more stupid mistakes this year, which did suck, but most importantly, I learned from all of them. In turn, I have also done a lot of good things for people. Which I am very happy for. This was my most concert year seen year by far. I have seen Death By Stereo, God Forbid, Soulfly x2, It Dies Today, Devildriver x2, Machine Head, Shadows Fall, Lamb Of God, Slipknot, 3 Inches Of Blood, All That Remains, Six Feet Under, Chimaira, Into Enternity, Opiate For The Masses, Ill Nino, and Static-X. Quite a list if I do say so myself. This is also my first year being apart of the Road Crew/Street Team for Roadrunner Records. I have had a lot of fun doing that. Hanging up posters. Getting the word out on bands. Also, being apart of the road crew has it benefits. Like meeting Devildriver twice. Meeting Soulfly, unfortunately not Max, but I did get to meet Dana, his Nephew, who is in a band called Incite. I got to finally chill with the head of the Road Crew, Matt Pileggi. Pretty cool guy. Had a few drinks with him. He explained how he got to where he is, because I want to one dayd o something in the music industry. Also got to meet the boys of Ill Nino. Some cool motherfuckers right there. I am looking forward to the many concerts that I will be going to in the upcoming year. The people I will meet. The things that I will do. Next year I am going to make a good year. I am starting College soon. Going to be getting a job within the next couple of weeks once I get situated with school. I am not going to let shit get to me anymore. I mean I realized that I never cared what people thought, so why should I give a shit with what people say. My true friends and I know the truth and that is all that matters. Separating myself from the drama as much as I can. So with that being said, I hope everyone out there has a nice new year's eve today and my best of luck to everyone in the upcoming year.
