Since I posted that last thing a lot, and I fucking mean A LOT, has happened.

Lets recap shall we?

Shortly after the post I moved into an apartment about a block from Fenway with this kid Robbie. Nice kids, just listens to ska way too much.

Anyway, about 2 months go by and shit starts going down. I broke up with my then girl friend about 2 weeks or so into October. It was kind of a messy one, but it needed to be done. She kinda got a little crazy on me but all was well. 

That week just got better though. I got hit by a car on my bike, fucked out of a date by one of my best friends, and oh yeah, fired from my job. Thats right, the noodle king was fired from his position as a trainer on his way to management. Fuck me eh? Whatever, I did give away free beer and get caught. Oh well.

Went to Fest 7 after that and joined up with some people who run nationalunderground.org. Since then our little video blog (vimeo.com/vinylvlog) has been appearing on that site and im going down to do more filming for them next month in Florida for the Harvest of Hope Fest. Should be fun!

But Im getting ahead of myself. I mentioned I lost my job? Yeah well, you can imagine how expensive it is to live around Fenway park. Try $850 a month per person for a 2 bedroom. Yeah, fuck that shit. I moved out by December, and started living with Mel and Sofia again. This time I actually had a bed, but I was still in the living room. 

I found a job at Whole Foods Market being a janitor mid-late December and also got an offer to move into Fort Fuck Awesome (a punk house that does shows and a bunch of friends live at). I took it and moved in on the first. 

Its been a rough couple of months financially but its all working out.

Oh an the best part about all of this? Just before I left for Fest 7 and right after getting fired I started talking to this girl Kirsten. Id met her a few times in the past when she was dating my friend Rich from CT, but wed never hung out alone. We started to, and officially started dating December 3rd. Weve been going strong since and Im extremely happy with this girl. And not just because shes smoking hot. 

I guess thats the gist of things. I'll try to do an update soon but no promises. Hell does it matter? No one actually knows about this anyway!

No Retreat, No Regrets

I'm going to try to do this again. I have a lot of shit happen to me lately. And hell, I'll be the first to admit it it, I drink a lot these days. Some of this shit I wont always remember a few days after it happened. Maybe I can start ranting about things again. Everyone one loves a good rant in a blog right? No wait, maybe its more like everyone loves to rant in their blog. Shit everyones doing it now. I wouldnt be suprised if my 74 year old grand mother does this shit. I hate that bitch...

ANYWAY, I picked up a new record player today. Nothing amazing. An ION USB table. I know audiophile wise they suck. But its a shitload better than what I had going on before. Fuck encased speakers and no pitch control. Shit sounds amazing now. Especially those new Heavey Hearted 7"s that I got in the mail today. They come out Saturday. This band is the shit. Pick one up when they're available...

So I just fell asleep while typing this. Might have been a little drunk last night. The purple house on Ashford St had a big block party thing. Hello Ninja, my coworkers band, ended up playing. And I must say I was plesantly surprised by how good they were. I was probably a little more drunk than I realized or wanted to be.

Now its on to packing my shit a bit more. Mostly cleaning though. I move on the first out of Allston and over by Kenmore/Fenway. I'm pretty excited. I just hope I can afford it.
