I went to La Puente, Ca to meet up with Steven and his family for 4th, then headed to Newport Beach to meet up with Ronnie and his gf Laura at some house right on the beach. I got a grizzly hug from Ronnie after he jumped off his skate board, dude's so buff his bicep punched my jaw ha ha!!
They were definitely celebrating ha ha. fucking nice house to chill at too. A live band played but we missed it. Laura got a ticket for drinking in public but the cop was chill and let her keep the drink.
It wasn't too cold out and I saw the fireworks show...from far away ha ha. everyone was going all out for 4th, American flags everywhere. Everyone was super drunk and just having a good time. 
Wandered back to the car after the show to go to the movies!!
not a big twilight fan, the movie wasn't bad though. oh and the last air bender sucked, directed horribly!
I've been working from 10am-7:30pm, then going to the warehouse to make shirts/screens/preparations till 2am everyday. I finished the Mummy and Warewolf screens last night with Dylan Russel, I seriously couldn't have done it without my best friend!! Going to make the first shirts Saturday. I'm officially almost 1/3 of the way done with production. The temp web site is up too www.mortusviventi.com , ill be putting up a new template once the shirts and shoots are done.
I'm really nervous of whats to come over the next 2 semesters, I feel like I've done so much since 09 but next year is going to be tough. The band is only 1 song away from releasing its first EP with me, studio time is going to cost $600+, clothing line still needs another $1300+, and personal expenses are almost non existent.
I eat $2-4 of food a day to stay within my budget. College starts up in a few weeks and I only have from now till then to make the majority of the clothing line/studio funding at 40+ hrs a week. Next semester is all upper and lower division courses, finally get to take the interesting classes.
The only thing that is really worries me is that once the EP is released the line needs to be ready as its released, and assuming that the EP gets us more shows and hopefully a tour or label or booking agency it might require me to step back from school for a bit. Its stupid in concept and my mother deff doesnt agree but I dont think I'll be leaving for at least another 2 semesters.
My father thinks I should go out and experience it, he said that I should see if it truly makes me happy and pursue it. odd seeing how he's only been to one show in my 6+ years of screaming ha. So my senior year ill be touring hopefully. In that case ill take online courses so I don't fall too behind. Its just a trip that most of my goals for this year are slowly coming together. Establish a clothing line. maintain a good GPA in college "3.0". make a CD's that has worthwhile lyrics. go on tour. improve myself as a person. start painting. take more pictures. make new friends. take risks and learn. 
I tried talking to my mom about how shes doing and the money she owed me, she just hung up on me, she's still not over the vacation fight. I found a way to cut my expenses to improvise for it. I just think its stupid shes holding a grudge. I've put relationships on the back burner, there honestly more annoying and confusing for the time being so I'd rather not stress over sketch friends and stupid girls. I feel proud today, and I'm going to band practice tonight. perfect.
Practice went well, we worked out a lot of the kinks to "finding clarity" and watched videos of our last house show. People were getting down, its always a trip watching them because I dont remember the whole set. I remember starting the first song and ending the last one everything in between seems blank, like I zone out the whole time.
I headed over to my friend Kaylas H. house and met her friend Shannon. Spent 6hrs just talking about Shannon's crazy work stories..."spit on me!!", killing zombies, tattoos, the last air bender, twilight :[, food, old jobs, ghost stories, parents, and other random things. They had beautiful personalities and it seemed like we knew each other for years!! It was 4am when I left, but it was such a good way to end the night. definitely had great conversations all night. I have work now, then going to the warehouse to help Ceasar make his shirts today, so I can make the mummy ones tomorrow after band practice. Didn't happen :[
