Hey there everyone. Long time no xanga.......(corny....?.....always!). For those of you who remember our dear friend Ian Drazick, you may remember the rock out against cancer concert at the 3rd street pub that was held to raise money for him and his family. Well I have felt that there are not enough events like this today where local musicians can really stretch there entertainment muscles for a good cause

SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ian's mom (Karen) and myself along with many others are putting together a 3 day (that's right bitches, 3 days) music festival that is slated to take place down here in the city around the first part of Sepetember. It will be callled (rightfully so) the first annual ROCK OUT AGAINST CANCER MUSIC FESTIVAL! It's going to be a shmorgusboard of different music styles from local artist as well as some big name suprise guest artist (hopefully). The first day will be jazz artist, the second day will be rap/hip-hop artist, and the third day will be rock artist which will conclude with a finale that will set this city on fire. The proceeds that are raised from this event will go towards cancer research so we can hopefully one day find a cure and/or preventative treatment. I hope to see you all there supporting this great cause and supporting our buddy Ian.

If you would like to help out with this project or if you just have any questions or comments, hit me up at my e-mail.

peace and love everyone!

I smoke. If this bothers anyone, I suggest you look around at the world in which we live and shut your fuckin' mouth.

Your denial is beneath you, and thanks to the use of hallucinogenic drugs, I see through you.

If you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, then go home and burn all your records, all your tapes, and all your CDs because every one of those artists who have made brilliant music and enhanced your lives? RrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrEAL fucking high on drugs. The Beatles were so fucking high they let Ringo sing a few songs.

Children are smarter than any of us. Know how I know that? I don't know one child with a full time job and children.

 have never seen two people on pot get in a fight because it is fucking IMPOSSIBLE. "Hey, buddy!" "Hey, what?" "Ummmmmmm...." End of argument

pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference.

You ever noticed how people who believe in Creationism look really unevolved? You ever noticed that? Eyes real close together, eyebrow ridges, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day" Yeah, looks liked He rushed it

We all pay for life with death, so everything in between should be free

I love the Pope, I love seeing him in his Pope-Mobile, his three feet of bullet proof plexi-glass. That's faith in action folks! You know he's got God on his side.

Not all drugs are good. Some ... are great

People come up to me and say, 'What's wrong?' Nothing. 'Well, it takes more energy to frown than it does to smile.' Yeah, you know it takes more energy to point that out than it does to leave me alone

It's really weird how your life changes. Tonight I'm drinking water. Four years ago? Opium. Night and day, you know?"

They say rock 'n' roll is the devil's music. Well, let's say that it is; I've got news for you. Let's say that rock'n'roll is the devil's music and we know it for a fact to be the absolutely, unequivitely true.-Boy, at least he fuckin' jams! Ha ha ha ha! Okay? Did you hear that correctly? If it's a choice between eternal hell and good tunes and eternal heaven and new kids on the fuckin' block ... I'm gonna be surfing on the lake of fire, rockin' out ... high five at Satan every time I pass the motherfuckin' shore

"I hate patriotism. I can't stand it.... It's a round world, last time I checkedI'll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here. 'I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs.' 'I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.' 'Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets

I was on the aeroplane coming over here. It's a non-smoking plane – get this, right? No smoking, but they allow children. Hmmm. 'Well, smoking bothers me.' Well, guess what ...?

How much do you smoke, sir? A pack a day? Why don't you just put on a dress and swish around ... I go through two lighters a dayI used to drink, I did. I had to quit. Man, I was an embarrassing drunk. I'd get pulled over by the cops, I'd be so drunk I'd be out dancing in their lights thinking I'd made it to the next club

'Hey buddy, my daddy died for that flag.'

'Really? I bought mine. Yeah, they sell them at K-Mart and shit.'

'He died in the Korean War.'

'Wow, what a coincidence. Mine was made in Korea.'

No one – and I repeat, no one – has ever died for a flag. See, a flag ... is just a piece of cloth. They may have died for freedom, which is also the freedom to burn the fuckin' flag, see. That's freedom

Actually, I'm against drugs being legalized, and this is why. Last weekend, my friend and I went into a farm, took some mushrooms, and we sat on a field. I looked up into the sky and saw God. He told me that there is nothing to fear, that he loves every single creature on this planet, and he showered gifts of forgiveness and love onto the Earth, and I realised that there was nothing to fear, and I loved everything ... Now, if that isn't a bad thing for this country, I don't know what is. How can we continue to make weapons if we love everything?

THANK YOU BILL HICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAY THE THC OF LIFE COURSE FURIOUSLY THROUGH YOUR VEINS!

What is the meaning of life?

Shit the more we try to figure it out, the farther we get from the answer. Life is like riding a roller coaster in the dark; it's gonna take you in many different directions at many different speeds and intensities. The best thing to know is that you don't know what's going to happen to you next. Once you're strapped in, the only thing to do is take the hills, loops and turns as they come.

I have not been myself for a long time. I have been feeling down and out of it since March 18th of last year. Those closest to me will know that date very well. I had one of the most thought-provoking and emotionally-driven conversations with Andrew the other day. For the past year, we both have gotten a harsh reality check. The pain, suffering, and loss of the people around us has hit an almost unimaginalble level. Not to mention the LIST of close calls/near fatal instances the two of us have had either seperatly or together that we have spoken to NO ONE about. It was definatly painfull to recall all the stuff that has been going on. We also talked about how we KNOW that it's not going to stop anytime soon. We both have this feeling that something else is going to happen very soon that's just going to be another blow to the gut. In comparison, we as individuals have not had it so bad. It hurts almost more to see the ones you love feel pain rather than to feel pain yourself. I think I would rather feel pain than to feel helpless. (Sleep and myself haven't been hanging out recently so my apologies if none of the above made sense)

I know that I'm not perfect and I know that I'm going to mess up in the future. I've decided however that life is too short to be rude and angry to the people around you. I've let my personal demons get the best of me recently and in turn have hurt, mistreated, and disrespected the ones that I love the most. Why I did that, I'm still trying to figure it all out. It seems the harder I try, the farther I get from the answer. To all whom I've burned, mistreated, and took for granted, I want you to know that I honestly am sorry. I am sorry! I really don't know what else to say except I'm starting to realize that it's just a waste of a precious gift to disregard the love that is given to you by the people around you. One of the greatest gifts to recieve is unconditional love. One of the greatest gifts to give is unconditional love.

Peace out eveyone, and God bless!

- ALL OF THEM MOTHA FUCKAS

Fuck, fucketing, fuck, fuck, fuck!!!!

I have a job now bitches. I bet you never thought you'd see the day. Well neither did I. Quite frankly, I didn't expect to recieve the job that I am currently holding either. I am a telemarketer for Dish Network. The add in the paper was EXTREMELY misleading. And when I say extreme, damn it I mean extreme. Had I known I was going to be that phone call that everyone hates to get around dinner time, I probably wouldn't have taken the job. If you know me, you know that I am not blatenly(sp) rude to people. This job, however, is bringing out the worst in me. Like I'm at a point where I am genually disliking people because every fuck'en person I talk to over the phone at that job is beyond rude to me and they never even fuck'en met me. It's just leaving a bad taste in my mouth about people in general. Hopefully I won't be working there for long but for the time being, I guess I'm going to be the housefly on everyone's picnic.

On a happier note, Becky is pretty much the most wonderful woman in the world. She is such an amazing person and I love being around her. She can always make me smile and I feel so awesome when I'm with her :)

Valentines Day is coming up soon.

DON'T FORGET!!!!

Peace, love and plants that shouldn't be illegal to smoke.

I hope everyone is having or had a really good Christmas and New Years. I know I did. I would like to give some props to the batteries in my portabl CD player at this point in time. Thanks guys. You never died on that long drive out to Colorado or back which kept me from engaging in any weird and undesirable conversation with my parents. So for that, I salute.

I have learned a lot about myself the past few weeks. This is what I have concluded: Anyone can build a house. It takes a lot more work, however, to build a house that is  more than just ceilings, walls and a floor. Building a house that can stand strong against rain, snow, hot, cold, that is also comfortable to live in is hard to do. It takes constant work and dedication. The same can be said about a persons relationship with another person whether it be someones mom, dad , brother, sister, boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, or just a passsing peer. Everone is going to mess up now and then. A floor might be put in unevenly, not enough insulin could be put in the walls, or orange curtains could accidently be put in a room with yellow walls. The important thing is to realize the mistakes that have been made and to constatnly work at making it better.

In the words of my good friend John Lennon:

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
