I just thought of this...It was the year the Green Day headlined the Warped Tour (I think it was 98). The Mighty Mighty Bosstones were playing on one stage, and I thought Green Day was going to play after one more band after the Bosstones. I figured I'd stay up at the fgront of the pit so I wouldn't have to push back through to get to the front when Green Day played. After the Bosstones set, Dicky yelled "Thank you guys so much! Take care and give it up for Green Day!" or something like that. I was confused because I thought Green Day was after one more band, which would make it so they were playing on that stage. Then, in my ear I heard the opening chords to "Welcome To Paradise". I immediately went into a frenzy, and I knew tha I had to run all the way over to the other stage, and push my way through to the front. About halfway through my frenzied run through the pit, There was some kid in a wheelchair that I didn't see. I ran right into him and . . . Read More..

So one night I had yet another Lavalife girl that I was dating.  This girl was cool, her name was Susan... but she liked to be called Sue.  She was pretty manly and her chin reminded me of Kenny Martin, a guy I grew up with. 

She was kind of older and that night we watched Lord of The Rings and hung out a little.

Anyways, after I left, I decided to go to my favorite bar (JD's Key club) and I called up my best friend neo_trek  and had him meet us up there.

Since my hair was all messed up from a bad hair day, I told Clingan to let me borrow his favorite winter hat.  We were basically wandering around, when I bumped into my friend Luke from Cross Country.

He had brought his grilfriend Kate and Kate brought her Hot sister along.

I immediately fell in love with this girl, she was soo freaking beautiful and I got so excited talking to her.  We had a lot in common and were both about to graduate from Oakland this next semester.

I remember getting a lot of . . . Read More..

In my senior year in high school, I was the section leader for our trumpet section. It was pretty big. I think we had like 35 members or something. I was pretty outgoing. I would jump around and swivel my hips and say "can you feel it?" like Ace Ventura. At our Band-O-Rama event awards were given out based on student votes. I received the "Spark Plug" award nearly unanimously.

At our state competition, we did a great performance and it was now the time when the awards were announced. They got all the way to 4th place and we got nervous. In 1995 we had received 4th place. In 1993 we got 7th and we got 8th in 1994. Finally, they announced that we got 3rd place. It was so exciting, being my senior year and getting the best placing we ever received. (In Michigan you can't really get first place because Plymouth Canton does every year because they spend tons of money and do totally untraditional things - but that's a different story).

Anyway, I . . . Read More..

I remember I went to my friend Ben Weiner's birthday party.  It was just him and me and another one of his friends named Mike.  We went with Ben's mom to Chuckie Cheese's and afterwards we went to Toys 'R' Us.  I can't remember how it happened but I think that Ben's mom let us get some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures.  I think I got Splinter.  That was a fun and memorable birthday party indeed!

Noel and I are actually really good with audio setup and take a lot of precautions not to lose our podcasts as we are recording them.

But on this monumental occasion we went down to the dream cruise off of woodward and interviewed at least 15 people and had such great conversations and audio effects with all the cars.

Sadly, because of THE WORST IPOD ATTACHMENT the ITALK We lost our entire podcast!!!!

The i-talk is the worst piece of hardware manufactured to date! No one should buy it and pretty much the whole Griffen Technologies corporation needs to go down in flames because of such a crappy product. I mean talk about a product which is totally designed and doomed to failure. You had to manually set it to low gain in order for it not to pop and now the thing just deleted our entire show.

We had such a great show lined up but now all we can do is upload the photos and videos we took while we were doing the show. We clicked save and yet its not even there!!!!!
