I made these for fun... so you know... all us camera nerds can sport em. A lot of my friends I work with have been sporting them as well ( Pierce The Veil, Bring Me The Horizon, and Jac Vanek) If you snag a shot of anyone wearing one, or a shot of yourself sporting one, please post them to the flickr group that someone has so kindly set up. If you want to pick one up just follow this lovely link and order one. Hope all is well for everyone, I have a grip of them out with me on warped tour as well, and a few with Pierce The Veil's merch guy at all times. If you can find me, I'll give you one for free. If you can find the Pierce The Veil merch tent, they are half price ($5)- it's like a fun confusing game.

I have been busy, but not with just photography, mostly just trying to have a good time. Life is hard to balance, plain and simple. I recently moved about a mile from the beach in San Diego and have spent a lot more time than I use to hanging out with friends and spending time with my sister. It's fun, taking a break from photography for awhile- has really cleared my mind.

I took this picture for my memory. But really, my mind was a mess when I took this photo. This photo is nothing, really it is nothing except for me, taking notes. It is something new I started doing on this last tour, i only did it a few times, and this was one of them. I took it so that after the tour, I could look back and say "oh yea, i took this photo cause this and this happened to me on this night", but really, I can't remember what happened that night, or why I took the photo. I should really get a note pad, or an audio recorder, ill figure it out come next tour. Any suggestions? Now I am just stuck with 12 megapixels of mush- shot from the backseat of a booty-stank scented tour van. What the hell am I going to do with this? Start my blog entry out? Damn straight.

I'm sitting here, on a couch, in Chicopee, Massachussettes, wearing a Nightmare Before Christmas snuggie, watching Peter Griffin buy breast implants for Chris. Thanks to Jeremy's twitpic skills, everyone now knows what I look like in a snuggie.

I was telling my friend Nicole, who somehow lives above me now that I am writing a blog for my trip to Europe, its gonna be really long and its hard to remember everything I did. She said, you are writing it now? Why didn't you write it on the road. I told her, if I write it on the road, I wont be on the road, ill be writing a blog about writing a blog because there will be no roadage if I am on my computer the whole time? Does that make sense? Welcome to my brain.
