i feel the need to tell the world.
if you illegally download ANY albums this week, please get the following before anything else:
As Cities Burn - “Hell Or High Water” mewithoutYou - “It’s All Crazy! It’s All False! It’s All A Dream! It’s Alright.”
mewithoutYou is SO different from their first 3 albums, in a way i never really thought possible. I was never really into this band, but...
alright. hold up, hold up.
Lady Gaga covered “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay.
Never in my life have I ever heard someone butcher a song that horribly. It was the absolute worst cover song i have heard in my entire 22 years of existence. I’m actually physically sick to my stomach.
yuck.
if youd like to experience this, here’s the link. but i warned you:
...
whoa. i forgot i had one of these.
hi everyone. brief summary of gary’s life as of late:
1.) the band is doing well. we leave for tour in 9 days and record the new album immediately after that. im stoked, to say the very least.
2.) im going on a cruise to the eastern caribbean from May 16th - May 23rd. should be sick.
3.) ive started taking medicine to help me quit smoking. and its slowly working. wish me luck :)
4.) our...
nevermind.
tour update: volume 1
im on tour, and its hilarious.

got it!

The Summer Set - Chelsea →
this song is too good. seriously.
so old.
local fans: thank you for your support. we are able to do what we do because of you.
local haters: get a new hobby. no one values your opinion. if youre gonna go to show, go to enjoy the music, not to talk crap about bands you know nothing about. (9 times out of 10, your musical taste sucks anyway.)
local bands who work hard: great job, and it shows through your music. keep it up.
local bands...
i don’t want you to love me anymore.
ok, seriously.
so i thought the new Fall Out Boy album just sucked. and I was ready to leave it at that. ya know, sometimes a band just puts out a really bad album and you’re kinda left just sitting there like “oh man. i was expecting this to be a lot better.” i was ready to leave it at that.
but sadly, thats not where it ends. Patrick Stump’s endless annoying wannabe R&B vocals on...

im freaking sick. as in unhealthy, not like.....
i made it through almost 2 whole freaking tours without getting sick, and it finally got to me. but i guess thats what happens when the temperature drops 40 degrees in a few hours of driving. oh well. thank the heavens for Airborne.
in other news, people need to stop talking crap about me and my band. i mean, it doesnt really bother me considering who its coming from, but its just annoying to...
NEW T-SHIRT DESIGN.
get at me somehow and let me know what you think of it. it would be much appreciated.
FML.
the more i play shows in southern states, the more i realize that every band wants to be Underoath.
see also: The Devil Wears Prada. see also: Bring Me The Horizon. see also: Norma Jean.
i miss originality and creativity. bring it back!
im cracked like a speaker and i speak like a...
so tour started today.
what a crappy first show. the venue, who gauranteed us $100 for playing, attempted to not pay us at all claiming that they “never gave us a $100 guarantee.”
…oh, im sorry, you’re probably right. it is very much like us to book a show 3 and a half hours away from home knowing completely well that we will not be getting paid. my bad.
come on now....
upcoming tour laminate (front).
upcoming tour laminate (back).
this is probably gonna be a long one. good luck.
i haven’t updated in a while. so here we go.
Friday, January 30th - “Crazy For The 80’s” night at Mojoes:
success! so many kids, so many good bands, so much fun. The Show and Tell was sick, I’m glad they were on the show. Aux Sable Embers is always good for a sick show. Breathe Electric was great, as usual. Made Avail is one of the most talented bands in this area....

new merch design!
so i made this new t-shirt design today. now, before you get on my case… i am well aware that dudes will probably not be buying this shirt. so this is gonna be one of those ‘mainly girls’ t-shirts. so ladies… if you were 12 - 16 years old, would you wear this?
let me know somehow :)
VICTORY!
here’s the setup:
so im drivin home from practice one night, super late, and im hungry. my tummy was screaming at me. so i decided, “hey, i have a McDonalds giftcard that i can use! woo!” So i pulled into a McDonalds that was fairly close to my house and decided what I wanted. after ordering my food, i was greeted at Window 1 with the sad news that their “giftcard...
ok, seriously..
“Folie A Deux” is a terrible album. why does everyone think it’s so good? you KNOW “From Under The Cork Tree” was such a bomb album. and “Take This To Your Grave” is classic. “Infinity On High” was alright, but i was skeptical at the number of bad songs on it. then they release “Folie A Deux” and im like “seriously? is this a...
don’t be a hippie. protesting doesn’t stop wars.
election: over. inauguration: over.
endless talking about Barack Obama: over? please?
anyway. i feel like i have so much to say, but not a single thing comes to mind right now. it’s weird.
we’ve started writing our new album. we have 3 and a half songs done. I’m so excited, cause we’re moving in a new direction. a better, poppier, and more musically mature direction. recording starts in April, album drops...

You will be telling your grandkids about January 20th, 2009 one day.
the only thing i’ll be telling my grandkids about January 20th, 2009 is that my car started this morning without needing to be jumped. that never happens. so today is a historical day for me, too.
Todd Bridges, no hard feelings, BIG BABYYY!
i feel the need to address this.
every girl that is worth pursuing always falls through, and every other girl is either too young or too stupid or too immature.
to all the lovely ladies out there…:
if you’re too dumb to handle a relationship, please avoid me. if you’re too immature to handle a relationship, please avoid me. if you’re my age but act like you’re 16, please avoid me. if you’re...

so i know a lot of you know me, but don’t know me all that well. so im going to do my best to make a list of everything that comes to mind that defines me. if youre interested, read on! if you’re not interested, you should probably stop reading my tumblr, yea?

"i am going to kill someone."
do you ever get frustrated and you don’t know why? i do. and its not so bad when youre just like “man, im irritated.” but thats not the case today. today im thinking more like “i am going to kill someone.”
its just one of those days where i think about something and it pisses me off. and then it reminds me of something else that pisses me off, and i get even more...
real quick..
i cant wait to get home and hear an accent that im used to.
or maybe that wouldn’t be an accent.
either way, i need to get away from southern accents for just a bit.
brief update. catching you exactly up to speed.
*tour is amazing, but its almost over. 2 shows left :(
*im single. long story. dont ask.
*Relient K is unbelievably talented. i was reminded of this tonight.

this is the kind of fun i have in hotel rooms. i’m so lame.
before i write this post, i feel the need to tell you that i’m listening to Every Time I Die - The Big Dirty. this album is so freaking disgustingly good.
ok anyway. i’m sitting at a hotel room in Houston, Texas and i’ve gotta say… i love my life. i’m having a blast on tour and the band overall is...

life on the road. so far...
apparently everything is bigger in New Mexico…
tour is fun. too much fun. we finally got around to staying in a hotel with WiFi so i can update this thing. im pretty excited seeing as how it’s been over 2 weeks.
where to begin?
we left the day after Christmas. we were supposed to leave at 6am, but the roads were like ice skating rinks. so we waited til about 1 and then took off...
my weekend in Detroit. wow.
this weekend was hilarious, and i’ll explain why.
but first, let me just say thank you again to everyone who came out to our show at The Metro. it was amazing and a dream come true for all of us. everyone had a good time, all the bands sounded great, and it was an awesome way to kick off the weekend.
now. moving on to Michigan. we left at about 11 am and stopped to pick up Zane. he played...
i leave for tour in 17 days. that's sick.
hey again. i’m really slacking on this whole “updating my tumblr” thing. my bad. however, this will be brief.
i feel i need to address this: the new Fall Out Boy CD is borderline garbage. “Take This To Your Grave” was a great album, and “From Under The Cork Tree” was even better. Then “Infinity On High” came out, and that was really good,...
3 days with no update?! what?!
yea. sorry about that, for those of you that actually read this.
so last night, me and the guys went to the Fall Out Boy show to promote. Let me tell you, I was dreading this all day, but i had a ton of fun. we got rid of a TON of fliers, so i really hope to see a lot of kids at the Metro show for us. I’m hoping all the hard work and promoting for this show pays off.
Today i had the day...
the weekend. chyea.
this weekend was fun. friday i worked for a few hours and then later than night i went on a ‘date’ of sorts with a reaaaaaally pretty girl. and it went really well! saturday i sorta slept in, which was awesome cause i never get to do that, and then went out for a bit with Mark. we went to the mall and wal-mart and some corner store. it was fun.
saturday night we played this girls...

thanksgiving rundown. here we go.
this year im thankful for:
plummeting gas prices.
my band and everything we’ve accomplished.
my family and close friends (cliche, i know. sorry).
The Jonas Brothers and The Gay Blades.
so, my Thanksgiving. it was fun, which is rare for me. Its not that i dont have fun on Thanksgiving ever, its just that this year i actually had a really good time. We went to my grandparents house with...
recent studies have proven that marijuana is, in fact, an addictive drug. raise your hand if you knew this all along…
[raises hand]
im really glad i never got involved with that stuff. or drinking. ive lost close relationships with close people due to both alcohol and marijuana. i dont care what you say, it changes people. and it’s sad. but losing those relationships with people has shaped me...
oh hey.
in light of recent events, i think its safe to say im giving up on females for quite a while. i know its not right, but i have the whole ‘one bad apple spoils the whole bunch’ mentality. at this point, i think you all suck. prove me wrong?

i stumbled across this thing and thought it would be fun to make one. as a way of venting whenever i feel like writing, i suppose. so that’s what i’ll do. i’ll write. i’ll randomly post thoughts, comments, rants, and probably lyrics i’ve written here and there.
i hope people can look at this and draw some sort of entertainment from it, but im going to post exactly...
