I just want to let everyone know that this whole blog thing was no accident. It was planned from the get go. It was put in place to boost the band’s CD sales. Did it work? Not so much, but the novelty factor of the whole thing seemed to stick, so we’re running with it. I know it’s been a really long time since the last blog (and trust me, I’ve heard a lot of gripes from a lot of people) but here is the latest, newest blog. It’s hard to keep up with the Nuts and Bolts blog with Spin Magazine constantly hounding me about deadlines and such. You people in the industry know how it is. So here we go. Jagger left for his Metal Mulisha tour a few weeks ago with John (Rotten). I talked to him three days ago and he said that they were in Rochester New York and that it was cold there. He also forgot his Sony PSP which Nick was suppossed to mail to him but I was playing it instead. In appologies, I sent Jagger a picture of me when I was ten years old. And in the picture I had two, count them two black eyes. I thought that should cheer him up a little. Nick has been Nick. I think he got into art school and I asked him to paint me a picture and he said that we’ll have to talk about it some more. Then he left. Nuts and Bolts had played some shows since the last posting. One in Sacramento and the other in Lake Tahoe. The one in Lake Tahoe I didn’t go to but from what I heard, it was one not to be missed. Not the show per se but the band getting stuck in a snowstorm after driving for 3 hours and having the highway get closed and having to turn back and stay an additional night, and Diogo not knowing how to snowboard and having ten year olds shred all over his ass on the bunny slope. Forcing him to walk down the mountain (bunny mountain) in utter shame with wet panties, covered in preteen’s snow spray. Now onto the big news. Diogo and I were sitting around on the couch today drinking beer and eating chinese food where we had profound conversation. First things first. Diogo bought a 12 pack of Bud Light from the store across the street from Long’s. 5 out of the 12 beers had a defunct in the can. When we tried to open the beers, the tab snapped off without actually opening the can. So we had to take a can opener and open the cans like a can of soup. W.T.F. is all I have to say about that. Mr. Bud and Dr. Light (inventors of low carb beer) are rolling in their graves right now about this. It took us about ten good minutes to figure out that a can opener would do the trick. We were very close to writing those five off and just focusing on the seven,but we put our heads together and prevailed. Half way through our second 12 pack we really got into talking about great movies of our generation and we got into a debate of the best Pauly Shore movies. We decided to list our favorite Pauly Shore movies in order of most entertaining. We both agreed that Encino Man was the best and that Bio Dome was the least favorite. The one disagreement was that, I that In the Army Now was his second best and Diogo thought that Son in Law was the second best. Both good movies in their own right, but you be the judge. We all have personal favorites. I mean, I get a lot of guff because my favorite Kurt Russel film is Captain Ron, not Big Trouble in Little China. (there are a lot of Captain Ron haters out there). Then Diogo and I got into a debate about romantic comedies. Diogo is a huge fan of these type of movies. To say huge fan is an understatement, it’s all he get’s on Netflix. Some of his favorites include You’ve got Mail, About a Boy, and Sleepless in Seattle. This brought us to our next delima. Is Tom Hanks or Hugh Grant better in romantic comedies. He said Tom Hanks. I mean I don’t have a lot of romanatic comedy experience (I’m pretty much a romantic comedy virgin). I said that Hugh Grants had a slight advantage because he was British, and the ladies love an accent. We came to a stalemate but then he mentioned the fact that the latest youngblood in the romantic comedy game, Jude Law was making a name for himself. We’ll just have to wait and see in the long run who is the going to be the king.Well that’s about all I got for now. Check back in the next few months and maybe there will be something new.

So I feel obligated to post another blog. I sat in on a Nuts and Bolts practice tonight for about 10 minutes and they have a few new songs that they are working on. They are trying to get some stuff together to put out a small release before Jagger goes on tour again. In case you didn't know, Jagger is going to go on that Metal Meltdown tour from February through the end of april and then leave for warped tour in may. So the band is packing stuff together to keep you guys interested. I mean they only play like 4 shows a year, right? So they got to do something. Anyway, they have one song that's good and the others, let's just say they need a lot of work. It sounds an awful lot like Against Me!. I suspect they are looking for a new sound. They also have a show in Sacramento on Feb. 16th at the Distillery with Massacre time. You should probably go if you can because that is probably the last time you will get to see them this year! Cuz they already played 2 shows this year so far (they just about reached their quota). Diogo shaved his head tonight and he looks really weird. Everyone is kinda shocked by the way his head looks. It's not bad, it's just because his hair is always longer and I can't remember the last time I saw him with a shaved head. Diogo also has been giving me a hard time this past week for absolutely no reason. I don't know what his deal is. All week, him and Jagger have been on me about the stupidest shit. One of these days i'm gonna pull an infamous "Jagger freakout" on both of them. Jagger took motorcycle lessons this week. For what, I don't know. He says that he doesn't want to buy a motorcycle, but he wants to be prepared in case the apocalypse comes and all the four wheeled vehicles get destroyed and theres nothing left but motorcycles. Also Jagger got robbed at gunpoint less than a block from our house. The dude took our house keys also. So there is a crazy lunatic out there with the keys to our house. It's a real bummer. Diogo also wore a track suit today. He is thinking about getting into shape. Evryone knows that the first step is making sure that you look good while jogging. Let me tell you, if I didn't know that he was sitting on the couch all day smoking weed and drinking beer, I would've thought he just got back from a 5K fun run. Also that guy brought a bottle of wine to band practice and didn't share. He mustv'e been feeling romantic in that track suit. I know Nick doesn't get talked about a whole lot on this thing. But I'm gonna try and incorporate him a little more. Here goes, I gotta take him to the airport tomorrow at 10 am. He's going to the east coast for something. So, I got a really sweet sweatshirt thing at Urban outfitters yesterday. Jagger and I went up there to get him a new wallet since his got jacked. I was freezing and was thinking about buying a sweater from american apparel. I figured I should buy some more sweaters since all I wear is that brown fred perry one all the time. Anyway, they had this black and grey horizontal striped one for only $9.99. I couldn't resist. Not only was I warm after that but my punk rock status jumped up a few points. I really look like Lochlan now. I think he has about 30 of this same exact sweater. The cereal thing last week was a big controversy. Apparently some people take their cereal eating habits pretty seriously. People still come up to me in the street and scream obsenities at me saying that I'm a wasteful person. And some whole heartedly agree with me. The milk is an assessory to the cereal. And also, to the girl that sent me a hateful text message the other day saying how horrible and boring I am, you need to cool off sister. You should probably talk to the other people in this house because they are saying you are fired from here. It's no secret, I know how much fun you had playing scattergories with us all that one time.

Not me! Have you checked out my new myspace photo? It's so edgey. It's the last picture of me with long hair. It also looks like I have a huge DVD collection. (which I don't) I recently cut my hair myself. Like the good old days. That picture was when I got a professional haircut from a real haircutter. the only problem was that it took two hours and it looks like I just shaved my head myself. Cowboys and Angels. Go figure. We had a lot of blog views this week. And I didn't even post a new blog. I really appreciate everyone checking it out. A lot has happened but according to Diogo, a lot of what goes on around here doesn't get put in the blog. Fair enough. But I try to fill you folks in on the highlights of the house. The band played a record release party at the Stork Club the other weekend and it went really well aside from the fact that they only sold 6 CD's. There was a lot of people there especially from Sacramento. Which was really cool that they all came down. The band was all right, I didn't go down to the show in LA on New Years. I was broke and couldn't afford to go. I heard it wasn't that great anyway so I don't think I missed out. Enough of this band talk. I want to talk about cereal. A huge debate has come up at this house about cereal and milk (how to eat cereal) the whole house is against me because I don't drink the milk in the cereal bowl after I eat my cereal. I eat my cereal and then pour out the remaining milk. I feel as if the milk is there to give the cereal a liquid coating. It compliments the cereal, it should not be eaten or drank afer the cereal has been eaten. the milk takes on the cereals flavor, which is disgusting. If I want to drink to drink milk, I want the milk to taste like milk, not fruity pepples or count chocula. Am I right? Diogo says that I'm am absolutely most definetely crazy. And that the cereal only enhances the milks flavor. I am the only one here who does not drink the nasty cereal flavored milk after I am done eating the cereal in this house. It's three against one here people. Someone help me out! I think I am going to start a survey of the people who read this blog who actually drink the milk after eating the cereal. Justin, who is an avid cereal eater ( three bowls a day plus) drinks the milk every time. Weird? You be the judge. And another thing. I eat Special K cereal. I have been getting a lot of guff from these people around here about eating it. They say it's a girls cereal. I said, so when did Kellogg's start making a gender specific cereal? Someone at work told me that Secial K was, but I didn't believe it. Just because theres only girls on the box and they promote weight loss and breast cancer awareness doesn't mean it is only for girls. Diogo says that Special K is made for girls because it's good for the ovaries. Well, I don't have ovaries but I have lost a pants size in the past month and I think I may be pregant. But I am still going to continue to eat it because for one, it's good and two I have have never looked so slim in my life. So don't hate on the Special K. They have a variety of flavors out there; red beeries, chocolate delight and orignal(my personal favorite) So all you dudes that are down with the Special K, don't be scared to admit it. Be proud. That's it for the cereal. Happy birthday Regina! I know i am late, but I wanted to say it anyway. Also check out the new Nuts & Bolts web site. It's really cool. Jeff was over here yesterday showing us it. It's like a real bands web site. It also has blog links on it. So you know you can't go wrong. They also cancelled practice because Diogo didn't feel very well this week. Lame. And sorry about the picture section this week. I didnt take any.

So it's been awhile since I last posted a blog. Sorry to all you fans out there, especially Regina. I've been busy lately. I don't know if you all have heard, but Spin magazine has got some interest in me and they have been flying me out to New York for the past two weeks to do interviews with them. Apparently a journalism major actually pays off! And they like the idea of me posting blogs about a skinhead band! Go figure? I promise I won't forget all you little people out there on my way to the top. They also like the idea that I don't use paragraphs to separate my ideas. So fuck you hair dude. What do you think about that? Also I am not buying your fake sick call to the party either. This guy calls me an hour before the party with a fake cough saying that he was out too late the night before with "the boys" and can't make it to the party. Pretty amatuer pal. I don't know but I'm not buying it. Time to move on. I guess I should say Merry Christmas. Since today is Christmas and all. I started to drink early in thre morning and kept it up all day. Jagger, Diogo and I just came back from Lyneas christmas party. It was pretty good. Charlie got a Wii for christmas and we were playing tennis all night. I have to say I am still undefeated in Wii tennis. I would like to take this opportunity to officially challenge anyone in Wii tennis. I am undefeated so far. I am currently looking for a national competetion in Wii tennis to compete in. If anyone has any information regarding this please let me know because I am ready to take on the Japanese. So the holiday party was awesome huh? Thanks to everybody who came out. I know Omar had a good time. We did a lot of work around the house for that party and it paid off. I personally was responsible for the stairs. Ladies, I know you were so close to falling down those things but the grip tape saved your asses. You can credit me for that. Sorry about the outside decorations. Somebody was suppossed to make a lavish decoration but it fell short. Don't be mad at Jagger, He was sick. He did a lot of work regardless. We made best with what we could do. Rotten John became the outside foreman in charge of decorations at the last minute and we did our very best at a christmas light display. Nick, Diogo, Jagger and myself worked really hard for about a week to make sure you people had a good time. Everyone thought my sister was a babe and they didn't have any problem telling me how hot she was. But what you need to know is that everyone in my family is on total babe status, I mean look at us. My parents are babes (from what I've heard) and it's only natural that they would spawn ultra-hot offspring. But ladies, I'm taken. You'll just have to admire from a far and be jealous of my girlfriend. Moving on. Nuts and Bolts are playing a huge show on New Years Eve at the Airliner in Los Angeles. In case you didn't know, that's on December 31st. It's with the Dickies, Agent Orange, NOFX, Rancid and Agnostic Front. You all should make it out there for that. I mean look at that line up! It's also a Varla Magazine party so you know it's going to be good. All these mofo's around here are giving me shit about it because I'm broke and can't buy a plane ticket right now. They think I'm not going to make it down there, but I am going to show them. I talked to Lochlan tonight and he said that Funeral records has no problem with flying me down there. I mean I do a lot of publicity for them and Nuts and Bolts, so why not right? I got a lot of cool pictures for this blog. Make sure that you check out the blog photos in the picture section. Also i wanted to say hi to a very special lady who is probably the biggest fan of the blog, Regina. For all of you who don't know, Regina is Diogo's mom and this blog gives her a chance to read up on her son and see pictures of him every week. Diogo is awesome and so is Regina. Regina also has a blog. She lives in Brasil and barely gets a chance to see Diogo. If you read this this blog you should check out Regina's blog. It's in Portugese I'm sure, but you can find someone to translate it for you. Regina and I have a close personal bond and I consider her my Brasillian mother. Also sorry to anyone who got fake text messages from Diogo last week. I stole his phone and made a bunch of fake messages to people. It was wrong of me, but also very funny at the time. So take it out on me and not him. Sorry this blog is not so informative, but the guys in the house have not been top notch. They haven't given me much to write about. Check out the pictures, I'm sure they will paint a beter picture of our lives here in the house.

The weathers getting colder and you know that means. Blog time! and also Holiday Party time. That's right, the annual Nuts and Bolts Holiday party is amongst us again. Saturday December 15th to be exact. If you have been lucky enough to attend one in the past, you know you're in for a treat. This year, we have a even more special goodies for all you guys. We have spent a lot of time here the past couple of weeks remodeling the basement. It looks like a completly new basement! I won't go into details, but prepare to see the best thing you'll ever see this year (possibly). There is going to be the usual DJ, free bar, kegs of beer, santa claus and hot chicks in skimpy dresses. As always, a new yard display in front of the house which all the neighbors probably abhoor. Be on the look out for your invitation in the mail, they're hot off the presses and ready to be shipped. I finally got one of the new Nuts and Bolts CD's. I didn't think that they were going to give me one, but finally after weeks of non-stop orders from hundreds of fans saying that they would have never found out that Nuts and Bolts had a new CD coming out if it weren't for them reading the blog, the band caved in. It's pretty good too. Buy one. Go to Funeral Records web site and pick one up for yourself and one for your little sister, for Christmas. I don't think they have any shows coming up, so that maybe the only way (Funeral Records). Rotten John comes back on Thursday and Jagger says, " Now things are finally gonna get done around here." John is Nuts and Bolts manager and he is also Lochlan's roomate. Lochlan is the Funeral Records guy. The band has some unresolved "issues" with their label. John is the scariest guy I know, so he knows how to get things done fairly easily. He's also single, so ladies... He'll be down at Merchant's this weekend, I'm sure. Enough of this band talk. So if you have ever been to this house in the winter time you know it gets to be freezing at night. We have parkas that we wear inside because the heater costs too much to run. So I'm sleeping in my room on Thanksgiving morning and I get awakened by this loud roaring sound coming from the side of the bed and I am laying there drenched in sweat. I sit there for a minute and I can't figure out what it is until my girlfriend shouts, " My arm is on fire!" in her sleep and then I realize that someone turned on the heater. and it had been running for awhile because my room was about 128 degrees. I go into the kitchen and no one is awake. The next day, I ask everyone who turned the heater on and of course the answer from everyone is, "I don't know what you're talking about." or "It must've been Nick."(pretty typical answer from people when something goes wrong). Jagger and I have decided that it had to be one of the upper housemen because the heater control is right outside both of their doors. Jagger normally stomps in the house and wakes me up and I didn't hear him so... Oh yea, I am also not a vegetarian anymore! Two days before Thanksgiving I had a huge turkey dinner at Lefty O' Doul's. And it was pretty good. I thought that I was going to be sick from it, but it was pretty much the best thing I had ever tasted. I felt like I had just gotten out of a Vietnamese POW camp and this was the first meal I had eaten since '71. I also had a club sandwich yesterday and oooh child, that was good. All I have to say is bacon. I watched this really weird Interpol video today too. It had this crazy puppet as the lead singer, it kinda freaked me out a little. I haven't skated in about a week. The last time I skated; Milo, Florida Jason, myself and some kids from Denver all went out to this town in the middle of nowhere called Bolinas. They have a small little park there. I got a bunch of blisters on my feet from these new shoes I got so I couldn't skate after about 10 minutes. It was terrible. They are Emerica Ed Templeton pro models. They look good and Ed Templeton is cool. But they beat my feet up, so I haven't been since. Ed Templeton is pretty cool. He used to send pictures of his wife naked and stuff and giving him blowjobs to Vice Magazine and Big Brother Magazine and they would publish them. Pretty hilarious guy. I thought I should let everyone know that Diogo is doing pretty well with the ladies as of recently. I wont get into specifics, but the other day this guy brought home 2 chicks at two different times. I got home from work and he said that I had just missed seeing this chick that he brought home. "Oh that sucks." is what I said. Then he says, " My other date is coming over in about half an hour." I thought he was joking, but sure enough, another chick came over and stayed the night. That Diogo, He's on a hot streak right now and I don't think he's got a date for the Holiday Party yet! So buy a CD, look for your invite, get your fancy clothes together, and get ready for fun.

So I just wanted to post a blog stating my utter distaste for the Nuts and Bolts show on Sunday. It had nothing to do with the band in general. It was all the venue. I mean a lumber yard?! Outdoors in the middle of November?! At 4 o'clock in the afternoon?! The bands seriously played on the loading dock of a lumber yard! I mean if there were more pine trees around and we were out in the country it would've been Hammerfest 2007. I don't know if any of you have been to a white power festival (I personally never have) but try your best to picture what that may be like, and imagine that in West Oakland. There weren't any nazi's there but the atmosphere sure felt like we deep in the Ozarks. Anyway, highlights were Nuts and Bolts covering Miss You by the Rolling Stones, Jagger jumping off the stage and breaking his foot (practically), and the PA going out every 2 minutes. Also, I got some Nachos from Taco Bell right before the show, which really hit the spot. I went to the Taco Bell right there in Emeryville, you know the one by the Radio Shack and Starbucks. That one isn't too good. You really got to go to the one on Telegraph and Grand. Although it's a bit of a drive, the quality of service there is impeccible. I remember, I went there one time when I was totally wasted at like 2:30 in the morning on a tuesday or something. There is always this homeless guy standing right by the drivethru window asking if you'll buy him a churro or something and I was all out of money, but I had this old harmonica I had been carrying around in my car for some reason. I told him, " I don't have any money, but I got this old harmonica I could give you." And I tell you the look in that old vagrants eyes were that of sheer delight. He took it from my hand and held it up to his crusty lips and belted out a tune so awful, it almost made me not want my Nachos supreme with no meat, my 99 cent cheesy bean and rice burrito, and for desert, I think I went with the caramel apple empanadas, which by the way are pretty good. Yea, the one in Emeryville, don't go there. They got a serious attitude problem there. The one on Telegraph and 58th street isn't bad either. They have a security guard there so you don't get scared at night. But anyway, I was feeling really good. I had my Nachos and was ready to go INSIDE of a club and watch a show. But then I was hit with the brutal reality of going to a DIY show put on by punk rockers. Jagger really impessed everyone with his moves and Diogo did a really good job making his voice really high pitched for the chorus. The rest of the band werent so bad either. I also tried to post pics of the guys in the house on the actual blog but couldn't figure it out. So I made a special photo album titled, "blog pics" They are pictures from last week, eg. Diogo's birthday party, and Jagger pretend playing the bass. They will be deleted when a new blog is posted with new pictures. If anyone knows how to post pictures in the actual blog, please let me know. That way I don't have to keep deleting and posting new pictures in the photo section. I can do it right here, so you can read and look at pictures at the same time. Or if you dont know how to read, you can just look at the pictures! Sorry that there were no pictures of Nick, He was in Chicago the whole week. Did you know that Chicago is Diogo's favorite US city? That's just a little fun fact that you may not have known. Rotten John! Jagger tells me that you don't reply to people's messages and thats why no one talks to you on line. Jagger said that Diogo's been waiting forever for a response back from you. I don't know what the deal is but i guess that is the reason. So I just wanted to post a quick blog about that stuff. Buy a new Nuts and Bolts Cd. They just came out. Check Funeral Records web site to get one because Nuts and Bolts don't have any shows booked in the near future. Check the pictures too. You won't be dissapointed.

So there's been a lot of talk about the blog lately. And I gotta say, if you can't handle the blog, don't read it! If your name happens to get brought up in the blog, you should appreciate it and if you don't happen to make it in, perhaps try a little harder the next week. It also doesn't hurt to sit right next to me while I'm typing and ramble drunkenly about your life. So, Jason Ojalvo! I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings in the last blog. I wouldn't do that on purpose. I got nothing for love for ya dude. Moving on. The Nuts and Bolts CD's finally came in tonight. They were supposed to come in last week but they got held up in customs or something. Everyone in the house was getting a little concerned about it. I told them that they better get their manager on it, but he just happens to be out of the country on tour at the moment. Lochlan apparently likes to give everyone a good scare. So, everyone place your orders now. They look really professioinal and everything. Lochlan and Funeral Records did a pretty good job on the whole thing. Justin has a few gripes though. He was a tad upset that his legs got cut off in the band photo and that he is too small in the bottle. Justin thinks that Jeff ( Funeral Records guy) is out to get him. The new CD will be available at the Nuts and Bolts show on Sunday. It's an early show. I think they come on at 3 o'clock. It's in Oakland somewhere. Check the myspace page for more information. Also check out the Funeral Records page. ( Lochlan, where's my check?) It was Diogo's birthday this past week. We all got dolled up and went to some Brazillian restaurant in San Francisco. It was alright. It was a little expensive ( $475.00) for the six of us and we didn't even get drinks! There was also an incident involving Sean and the guy who cuts meat off of the sticks. You had to be there to understand, but if you ever go there (the Brazilian restaurant at Market and Gough streets) just make sure that when the guy cuts meat off of the stick, make sure that you make an honest effort to grab the slice of meat with your mini salad tongs, or else. Cuz, trust me, you do not want that guy to be upset at your meat grabbing techniques. Jagger and Justin went to play in a foosball tournament tonight at Kennedy's bar in San Francisco. If you get the chance to go there, go. Because it's a bar with the coolest bulldyke bartenders you'll ever meet. Plus, they have an Indian restaurant built right inside the joint. They bring your food right to the bar. I go there all the time with my girlfriend and I seem to only pay for one beer and the bulldykes replace my beer when I'm not looking. It's totally awesome. I've got a special spot in my heart for those lesbian gals. It's right across from Bimbo's in San Francisco. Jagger and Justin couldn't be on the same team and Justin's teammate kept telling him that he needs to play a zone defense. Seriously, who plays a zone defense in foosball? I'm not even sure if you can play zone defense in foosball. Speaking of foosball. There's also been a lot of talk about those Sadomasokicks. Everyone's been hearing a lot of talk from those guys lately. It's not just me that's been getting guff from Nick, but Diogo and Justin have also. Justin says, "those guys didn't show up to the tournament tonight!" "The Sadomasokicks are sharing a lot of secrets!" We decided that foosball is not enough to decide the champion. Maybe a combination of foosball, basketball and a chinese food eating contest would be better suited to decide the champion. Jagger says," I know I could beat the Sadomasokicks in a chinese food eating contest." Justin says," I was raised on chinese food." And I know Diogo can eat the fuck out of some spicy spare ribs and pork fried rice. Jagger is still a little upset that he got sabotaged by the Sadomasokicks in the last tournament. Yes, we all know that foosball is the heart and soul of the contest, but some us feel that the Sadomasokicks reign of terror is over. You guys are the Lakers dynasty and The Spurs time has come! So if you guys (the Sadomasokicks) are up to the challenge, everyone is waiting! Yes, we are calling you guys out! Nick, Jason? When's it going to be? Foosball, B-ball, MSG! Oh yea, Diogo also had a date this week. And from the sounds of it, it went pretty, pretty, pretty good. It was Kev's b-day this week too. So happy birthday to those guys and go to the Nuts and Bolts show on Sunday and buy a new CD.

" When I get on stage, I put eveything I have into it. All of us worked so hard for this last show and it upsets me that some times when we work so hard and some people don't appreciate the amount of work and dedication it takes to turn around and cover a band like the Rolling Stones." I don't know even know why I am so angry anymore, you know what I am angry about Max? , I am angry there is no god damn beer in this house. There was meaning in our practices. I mean we practiced at least 8 hours for this show and we got cut short. But at least it was for our friends and not some metal band. I mean at least it wasn't for some god damn metal band or something, I think I am gonna call Nick. What time is it, Max?"
"It's 1:55 in the morning Jagger."
"Oh Well , I am gonna text him. Oh Boy, he's really gonna hate this. I am gonna ask him if we are getting the CD's tomorrow. It was just a tough show Max."
"Why Jagger?"
"Because we practiced so hard for that show. It was all cool, we did our stuff, Mikey's band was setting up their stuff. We waited 25 minutes for Mikey to show up and he never did. I took 3 shots of Jagermeister. It was barely enough time to play our Rolling Stones songs. We only played 2 Nuts and Bolts songs. They said we were only allowed to play one more song. We had the number one draw out of that show. 75 percent of the people there were here to see us. What the fuck? Why did you cut our set short. Fuck those metal bands. Everyone who was going to drink a beer or put any money into that show all left and came back to our house."
Jagger wants me to tell you about the new merch coming out; sweatshirts, T shirts, ladies stuff coming out, and the first 100 CD's coming out will be accompanied by a limited addition special gift.
"You should have seen my moves. I have been working on those since I was twelve. I think I may have made out with Nicks mom, I'm not sure but I think she may have poured beer on me."
Jagger and I just came back from the bar. We decided that we should go out tonight since it was halloween and all. You see, I got off of work early today. I came home and nobody was home. I started to skateboard out side when some punk ass pre- teen came strolling by and challenged me to a game of SKATE. If you don't know what that is, just forget about it. But needless to say, I got whipped up by some child prodigy skateboard bitch. I was so frustrated at the end of it all I was almost ready to sock him around a little. He was doing all this shit I've never seen before. I was embarrassed for myself. Jason (freddy mercury) kept calling me and saying that his power was cut off and he needed somewhere to do his myspacing and what not. I told him to come over to our house. So he did and he was messing around with his new Iphone. He is the new rotten John. That guy is always on his phone texting or interneting or something. Anyway, the entire conversation above was Jagger telling me about last weekends show. I showed up late and missed the whole thing. I was there for the party at the house after word though. Did I mention that I am totally drunk and took a lot of pills before I wrote this? So if it is not making sense, blame it on that, or Jagger rambling in my ear. Jagger, Me, Sean, Eric, and Jason all went out to the Misery lounge tonight. It was a real let down because some lame dude was playing lame songs on the guitar. So we left there and went to the Hut. Our usual old Wednesday night hangout spot. We played foosball for a bit and then left for the Kingfish. We played shuffleboard for a while. Jagger and I really destroyed everyone else. Then our friend Hair Dude showed up and decided to really show everyone up. But he has an unfair advantage because he lives across the street from the joint. Then we went to the avenue where we had more beers and talked about skinhead stuff and hair dude left because I think he felt uncomfortable because he had hair and wasn't a skinhead. Then Jason drove Jagger and me around for awhile. We listened to Milk n' Cookies and sang along to the Gary Glitter band. Oh yea, and I also got the new issue of the Onion, hot of the presses. We all looked at the American Apparel ad on the back. Oh man, those guys down at American Apparel sure do know how to do it. Some sexy- ass broad all half naked, acting all sexy and shit. And every week, it's something new with those guys! They sure have got it figured out. Well it's way too late for me to be writing this right now and I am too pilled up to type. I decided that I will keep the blog going because there are way too many fans out there. I would hate to let them down. Oh yea, hair dude challenged me to a blog off. He thinks he knows a thing or two about writing since he is a journalism major at SF state. He told me that I don't use enough paragrahs. I told him that college has nothing to do with putting up with the things that go on at this house. He concured and gracefully bowed down. I'll try to write another one of these things this week to fill in the voids, but I think you have got enough for right now. Check back soon!

Yes, it's true. Some person thinks it must be pretty funny to log in to this myspace page and write fake blogs. Based on the content, I'm just gonna guess that it was Jagger. I mean, "grace", "dominance". He's doing a lot of talking. Maybe this guy just doesn't get the hint on the court. C'mon, I haven't seen a worse basketball foley since the Michigan fab five breakdown two years in a row. Pippen and Jordan, give me a break! More like two second string guys the harlem globetrotters picked up in Memphis. Anyway, this may be the last blog for me. I feel betrayed, like my girlfriend just had sex with someone else. Although it was pretty entertaining and all, it just didn't do it for me. So I guess I should talk about the house. Nick tripped over the fire hydrant that someone put in the middle of the floor. He dumped all of his art work all over the place. The show was pretty good. It was a pretty typical Nuts and Bolts show. Based on all the taco bell wrappers and Mickey's bottles laying around, it sounds like a great night after the show. I mean the taco bell part, i try not to drink that cat piss which people refer to as Mickey's. I wonder who bought that stuff? .I came home today and cleaned the whole house. It seems like maybe I'm the only that cares about things like that. Jagger just sat there the whole time while I was mopping laughing about the "new blog" that "someone" posted. Then he gave Nick tips on how to properly clean his desk. He has some sort of system or something. "Start at the top and work your way to the bottom." "organize the cleaning into categories, like C.D.'s, pictures, etc., etc., I didn't see Diogo today but He is busy at his second job. That's it until we get to the bottom of this whole hacker stuff. Pray for the blog, It may already be dead.

What's up guys new blog here. So I went and saw Nuts And Bolts at the Rumblers show Sat. night man were they good! The only problem was that the whole night I was dreading getting my ass kicked in basketball the next day. It really sucked every time I turned around I could sense the all dominent power of Jagger and Jason just lurking over me. I thought to myself o.k. Max, its just a game they really aren't that good, but then the flashbacks would kick in, There's Jagger stepping back hitting threes in my face, Jason's off to the side throwing no-look passes while smokeing cigarrettes and just totally dominating the paint its ridiculous. They're so good! Damn it I wish we could beat them. I needed help. So I went looking for my teammate Diogo to help snap me out of this nightmare. I found him out in the back patio area of thee Parkside. He was sitting there talking to Jeff, one of the executives down there at Funeral Records. Diogo said that we were through, "I can't handle the nightmares any more, they're too good. I've decided to go with Jeff as my new teammate Its the only way I can win. I'm sorry Max but they're too good, damn it I want to beat them." Man that sucked. There was only one thing I could do, drink. So I drank until I couldn't see Jagger and Jason's ridiculously awesome basketball skills replaying over and over again in my head, man they are good. The next day I was awaken by a call from Jagger. Its the call I had been dreading all night. He asked If I was comeing home to play basketball. I had to act quick, I was all "Yeah I'll be home soon I can't wait to play you guys again." Man, my hands were so sweaty and I was trembiling but I think he bought it. There's no way I'm going through that again I mean I've never seen the combination of power, speed, grace, and just total dominance since the days of Jordan and Pippen.Man those guys are good. Well I'm sorry guys but all this is starting to get to me, I'm going to have to finish the rest of this later, the flashbacks are starting again, maybe the mushrooms were a bad idea. Give me a little time to calm my nerves and I'll write a new blog all about the band but for now I need to gather my thoughts and pray Jagger and Jason have found a new team to smack around because I don't think I can take any more. Hey Jagger if you read this I'm sorry I couldn't make it yesterday but I think I've made it clear, and I hope you understand.
