A Day Late and A Dollar Short

Sorry folks, it's been a busy week with moving into the new place. I tried a new method this week with the Watch Me Tweet series and it had a little bit of an effect so I might try it again next week.








And here's what I got for responses

@einatrew81 answered "Looking forward to nice weather and experiencing it on my motorcycles at 70mph this summer ;)"


@edgedood answered "have heart in 2 weeks and workin on my photography some more at shows. you dude?"

There was one more but I deleted it by accident so sorry to whoever it was.

So, what am I looking forward to most this summer? Honestly, the whole thing. I haven't had a summer look this good since I was a kid. Here's a quick list of things that are in the near future for me...

New place on a lake
Kayaking
Swimming
Days at the quarry
Bike rides
Skateboarding
Fires
Using my new camera
World Wide Photowalk
This Is Hardcore Fest
Great American Hardcore Fest
Edge Day
Getting a dog
Enjoying my youth
A ton of new albums

Since I began retouching I've always come back to this one portrait of me and just keep changing things trying to make it better. I'm pretty pleased with what i've come up with and i'm hoping I can move on now...

Running out of foooood

If you read my last post you know that I will be moving soon and so I have been trying to just use up what is in the house. So, for today's Watch Me Cook I don't really have a recipe but I do have a little vegan tip...

The next time you cook up some spaghetti and veggieballs sprinkle it with some Red Star Nutritional Yeast.

Good stuff

New Pup???

Over the next week I will be moving in with my good bud Bohn and we have decided that we want to get a dog. After deciding this we both decided we want to go to the local humane society to find the right dog for us. Being a vegan and animal rights activist, my reasons for going to a shelter are different than his, which consists of... It's cheaper.

Here are some better reasons...





For the rest of this episode go here

Please Spay/Neuter your pets
Information Pamphlet

If you're thinking about getting a new pet the first thing I recommend you do is make sure you have the finances to take care of it and make sure it's definitely something you want to do. After that you can watch this video...



Then, I suggest visiting petfinder.com this is the first place I went when we decided we wanted to get a dog. Then from there I went to the local humane society website.

Going to make a change...

I've decided that I need to change the way I do this series. When I started this all I was doing was asking my question on Wednesday and hoping enough people answered by the next day that I could throw together a post. My luck hasn't been that great with this method. So it's time for a change.

This week I asked "What is your favorite famous photograph?" I only received two @replies. One was from @ThatPaulAllen and he said, "I haven't been able to find it anywhere, but it's the one with Elton John jumping horizontally while playing the piano"... and the other was a RT from @MissLuckyLu Thanks, to both of you.

Starting next week the new format of this series will be like this... I will begin asking this question on Sunday morning and ask it twice a day until Wednesday night. Help this series grow by Retweeting and also either sending an @reply or a DM with your answer. Thanks folks.

Fueled by hatred, led by positivity... I search for redefinition.

I'm Back
Thank you to those of you who left words of encouragement here and on twitter, you know who you are and I appreciate you very much.

If your wondering what is up with the title of this post I will explain. In my 21 years on this earth (22 in 12 days!!) I have seen much ignorance, corruption, and manipulation. When I was 15 I started listening to Punk and started seeing things in a different light. Punk led to Hardcore and Hardcore gave me the aggressive attitude to fight the things that I knew were wrong. I am fueled by hatred. Hardcore got me into Straight Edge and then Straight Edge led me to Youth Crew. I am Led by positivity. The depression I have suffered from since I was 16 defined the structure within me that I tried so desperately to mask. In the past two months I unmasked myself and let my inner structure become my outer appearance. I searched for redefinition. I have found happiness in music, in my friendships, and in good old fashion exercise. Watch Me Rise is back...
