This has been a great weekend to say the least. So much has happened, all in good times.
Saturday Night, July 3rd, my band Fiasco! performed at the Downtown Disney House of Blues. This was my fourth time playing there with this amazing band. First we opened up for The Aggrolites, the next show we opened for MEST, and after that we opened for the almighty, Everclear. Looooved it. This time we were the "support" of the headlining band "No Duh", a No Doubt cover band. We got tpo perform a 45min set, which was awesomeee....it was such a big time slot that we weren't prepared to fill the entire thing out, so we came up with 2 and a half clutch songs to fill in the time and keep the show running. Fiasco! alone, we sold about 50 tickets presale, and about 15 came to the door for us. GREAT crowd. It was packed. The opening band was good, we came in with the clutch energetic performance, and headliner No Duh closed it out with a 20 song set.....yeah 20 songs! I can't wait or our band to be playing big sets like that. That'll be the life. House of Blues treated us so well this last show...We were in dressing room B, with our own shower, Bathroom, TV, drinks of all sorts, couches and just chillllin all day til we went up to perform. I love it. i can't wait til my everyday is that moment. Performing music....paying bills just because I get to make people feel good through my experiences that I express through music. Thank you all for coming out to support any and every show of ours....even since I was 10 years young....it means SO much to me. In a good way, it surprises me that you care to come out and see me and/or my band perform for you. It amazes me, the love and support we get from family friends and fans. With out you all there's no reason I would ever step foot on stage. Thank you <3
Sunday, 4th of July, my 3rd favorite holiday, but a strong 3rd favorite. First Christmas, then Halloween, and the 4th!
Had a small bbq with David Lei, Orion, Gabriel, Alfonso, Rachel, Jayk, Maranda, my brother Daryl, Cristina, Nick (Barron), Jon, Danny, my mom and dad, Maranda's mom and dad, and later on my brother Dennis came and joined in on the fireworks with his daughter and my love Danielle =) After that we headed over to the Lee's house, where we held the after party and got some dope ass games goin on like, beer pong, flip cup and f*ck the dealer. Def sent our friend Alfonso straight the "porcelain god" haha....flushed his glasses down the toilet....clutch story...sucks when it happened, and still does...but about a month from now, he will hold the "epic drinking night" story. I love you Alfonso, Lol. The night ended well....def good times to be remembered.
Woke up the next morning, July 5th, and headed to Vegas to perform with my friend Tay. She tap dances while I play guitar and switch over to a bass drum. It's pretty dope. We got the highest rank in scoring for the national dance competition in Vegas but didn't place in the top 10 =/ But we had a fun night that night. My brother drove both ways, so I got to sleep a lot...uncomfortably in a scion TC mind you.
Got home today around 3pm and had Camp Rock rehearsal frmo 6pm-roughly 930pm....GREAT cast. Love them all....well most. Lol
Had a much needed Corky's visit, and am awaiting my much needed hang out with Jon the love of my (straight) life.

"Shambles: My Life" prt. 1
(Insert sarcasm here)
Don't you love it when you're having a shitty, an awkward, wiiieerd day and just when you try to make it better it only gets shittier? I looooove it. Like if I can ask for anything more, it would only be for a shittier day you know?
YEEAAAHH
Comfort food? Nope, just $15 more in debt with myself. My life....shambles. ha *the most emo blog*
I'll be for real...I hate it when friends act like they're on your side and totally trying to please you and the next minute they're behind your back just making it all a bit worse. Unknowingly and unintentionally it happens. Not for worse....but it sure doesn't help for better. Why do people do the things they do? Like hide feelings or hide what they want? This world would be a lot better off if we all just said what was on our minds. And that includes myself. I usually say exactly what I feel, what I want and what should be said, because I never give a fuck, til it comes to friends.

Loooooooooooove today.

Hide Away Your Judging Eyes
Sometimes staying up late....and eating an entire dinner at 230am can turn bad?
For the first time it came to life last night.
Reality sets in and there's only so many corners in which we can hide
Here we talk, we meet, we share our life story.
Here I find myself running deep.
There are other places I rather be.
So I drive home to a silent home.
Here my parents sleep.
I'm awake and the world inside my head creeps.
Who here can see what my eyes see.
Who here has lived the life I seek.
"Somethings are better left undone
Some songs, better left unsung"
One minute on top of the world
The next your life is in shambles from the risks and gambles
Here, I stress, no time for rest
I write I sing I play
In hopes that I'll be discovered some day.
Premature facade
Hide away your judging eyes
Nothing here is to stay
These days will be remembered as regretful times

Live out loud.
You are the reason for my everything. Every song I sing, every chord I play. I live out my life to impress and entertain you. I love because you taught me how to. I paint with the brightest colors on white canvas because your art is priceless. My heart is poured out onto every stage I walk on only because you showed me how important it is to live the life I dream of. Today I live the dream because you never got to.

Camp Rock: Week Two
Wow, every day, every rehearsal getting better and better. Getting to know more cast members and seeing the show slowly come together. So far, we've got down two of the dance numbers, and pretty much have every song down, just need a few adjustments vocally, but besides that, this show is ready to be put out onto the stage. Our first blocking rehearsal was last night 6-10pm with the entire cast. Which means Camp Rock and Camp Star got to work together (which is rare), but awesome, because it brings fresh faces to our grounds, that's right, our grounds =) I love it. Though the brothers aren't in the opening number, we worked on our harmonies on all of our songs and then watched "Brand New Day come together live on stage =))
For the record, I am having the TIME OF MY LIFE. I've said it before and I'm sure I'll keep bringing it up, but I love this cast. All of them. It's so diverse that it's insane. I love it! And I've been getting to know and have been getting closer to mine and Jon's "brother" Nick, who's playing the part of Jason Gray in the show. He's such a great guy. Great energy and enthusiasm. His mom is pretty awesome too. I've still got sooo many more cast members to meet. There's like 103 total? And I prob only know 40. Gotta get to work!
In sad news, I had two crazy ass sharp headaches shoot through my head at two random moments today. I don't know what that means but it hurt like hell. Point is, if I die soon, bring lots of colorful flowers to my funeral. Where white and tell it like it is when you speak of stories infront of the audience. Thanksss. And please nothing to do with god. Sweet, thanks!

Camp Rock: The Final Jam (Week One)
Well...one full week (5 days) of rehearsal have now passed. Today is by far my favorite rehearsal to date. I'm having the time of my life and living it out with some of the best friends and cast members I've EVER worked with. This cast is superb. I love it. I can't wait to get know more of the cast members. I've already met a lot of them, and they're awesome. Nick (Jason Gray in the show) is an awesome guy, he fits right in as that character and gets along great with me and Jon. We're great as "brothers" ha.
Today we did our first song as the brothers and w/ensemble..."Heart and Soul". Amazing. Sooo much fun, and all three of us had hoarse throats. ha. And still it sounded pretty good! I can't wait to start blocking and singing our solo songs. Can't wait to sing the duets with Leanna (Mitchie). It's gonna be so much fun.
I'm actually dancing in this show. Craazzy. I love it. Jon is such a great choreographer, along with Larina tearin it up. It still has yet to set in, but I'm enjoying every single second and this experience. I'm so happy to be where I am today.
Bobby Wuertz: "So how did you feel when you heard that you were cast as a Jonas Brother in the show? "
Nick Sloan: "I don't knoww...it still hasn't set in...so ask me in a month."
hahaha, EXACTLY how me and Leanna feel. Sooo crazy.
Tomorrow we have a 3 hour dance rehearsal for "Can't Back Down". It's gonna be great =)

Sir God McCartney
Let it be known, that you will NEVER put down the god of music. Sir Paul McCartney is the reason why we have SOOOO much music today. People have no idea. People are OUT OF THEIR MINDS if they think for one second that he's "Just a person." On FB I posted "Sir Paul turns 68 years of genius today. June 18th is a religious holiday to say the least." She posts "He's just a person."
I've never deleted and blocked someone quicker on my facebook page. I plan to never see this bitch again in my life and if I do, she will hear it from me.
I rather hear "Who is he?"..... instead of "He's just a person." Dumb bitch.
