Hello, my name is Andy and I have changed.

That's not just some ordinary opening quote, its the truth. Well, there's actually a lot of change right now. Disney bought Marvel, Brand New is now one of the top acts in the Country, Oh, and two of my friends are married. Congrats again.

So why should I talk about myself? Whats so special about me? The answer being, nothing really. I am just me and I'd like to share my experiences with anyone that cares to listen. I have been living in San Antonio for a few months now and I have learned so much about EVERYTHING!

Still not interested? How about this fun fact, I'M STRUGGLING! The city life has swallowed me whole and puked me back up as someone that is trying to make the best of a difficult situation. I'm stressed day to day and all I can do is try my best with everything.

I'm not completely alone as I have the 3 best people to be stuck in a boat with. They are awesome and we help each other out. Its all for one and one for all and shit up in here.

But back to the main topic, I'm different now. I'm just trying to figure out if its a good thing right now. I'm stressed, lonely, and lost at times here but at the same time I see light.

There are people here that I have met and you know what, they are good people. There's is opportunity and beauty everywhere you look (If you can see what I am seeing right now, you'd understand), even if it looks ugly on the outside. I know that there alot of people that I can seek guidance from but you know what, I DON'T FUCKING WANT IT! I want to do this on my own. Thats one thing that I don't like about myself, I'm to FUCKING STUBBORN! Actually, thats fine I'm cool with that. All I'm saying is that I want to get through this my way. I want to learn to swim if my ship sinks. That is all.

Woo! I did not mean to write this much. So i'm going to head back to my studying. But let me just say that I miss everyone back home so much! But I can't let that interfere with where i am right now. I am focused on the present and where it takes me. And I don't know where I'm going so don't ask.

All I can say is stay tuned...

Wut up Chumps and Chumpettes! 2day is officially the first day of the 2009 Vans Warped Tour. Next week will be our show on July 2 at the AT&T Center. And when I say "OuR" I mean alot of people! (U know who you are) So, since I'm so damn excited, I'm going to provide some information that y'all may or may not find interesting. Because if I don't do it, who will?

Gernaral Information:

In case u didn't catch it, the Warped Tour is at the AT&T Center this year instead of the Verizon. This is because 1) The tour is sponsored by AT&T and 2) Some church people bought the Verizon and they didn't want this tour there for some reason. (I Shit You not) So in a way, this will be everyone's first Warped Tour all over again! We won't know where stages will be and we don't know what to expect in the new environment. Keep in mind that in the Verizon, there was a huge green hill and SHADE! Both will be absent at the AT&T center grounds. Also, I would like to note that there WILL BE NO BANDS PLAYING INSIDE THE CENTER! All bands will be outside and it will be hot. Like I was just telling Purple Jesus, if u want to see ur favorite band, U GOTTA WANT IT!

Damn, thats alot of shit. Start saving money.

I'm tired and Lazy at the moment so I'll just leave this here. E3 is next week, so look at me to talk shit then.

9 _1_5_15_1_585_

Good luck. And yes it really does mean something but u have to be somewhat skilled at math to solve it.

Til next week, l8er.

Hola, every1. I'll be straight up honest. I'm tired as hell. So I'm going to keep this short. I just want to say a few things about a few subjects.

1. I am very dissapointed in Blink 182 for being fake. They announced a stellar line up for thier comeback tour (Weezer, Fall Out Boy, All American Rejects, that nigga white guy that raps about college) and then they announce that they are not even coming to Texas. That's like a hot chick saying "I'm going to have sexual intercourse with ya, but not until next year when everyone's already had a turn." So dissapointing.

2. How about them summer movies. I saw Wolverine: Origins. It was ok. Had very few good moments and they fuked up on alot of the characters personality. (Deadpool, mainly.) I'm not going to lie, I read the spoilers before I saw the film so I knew what was coming and I thought I could handle it, but I couldn't. Then I saw Star Trek, which I am going to say right now that it is going to be the best summer movie this year. It won't make alot of money but its loyal to every1. I'm a Star Wars guy and I even liked it.

3. And speaking of Star Wars, catch the Memorial Day Marathon all weekend on MTV!...seriously. look it up.

4. Finally, I have to say something about the tragedy that occurred in my hometown. There was a shoot out between two familes that resulted in the death of a 15 year old, his mom, and the killer. I don't know any of those people but let me just say that I personally think that this could have been avoided in so many ways and its just so damn sad that it ended that way. Also, I was looking at Topix and alot of people are blameing the cops and the city itself. Yes, the cops should have been more prepared but blameing them won't fix anything that has happend. And I have read on websites like Topix and this one that alot of people are saying that stuff like "Crystal City is so Dangerous. I want to leave." That shit is dumb on so many ways. Stupid shit like this happens EVERYWHERE and EVERYDAY. Living somewhere else won't change the fact that there is messed up shit in live. So yeah, if ur looking for something to blame, blame the families themselves. Also I should note I'm not trying offend anyone, I'm just stateing my opinion. Nothing personal.

I really don't have anything else to say now except that YES! THAT IS A HORSE! AND YES IT IS PHOTOSHPPED TO LOOK LIKE THOR! Your Welcome.

The year is 1997. President Clinton tells funding for cloning to GTFO becuase there was a lack of tits. Leonardo DiCaprio stars in a movie about a boat and pronounces himself as the "King of the World," everyone then an hero's in the movie and the only survivor is a women that did in fact show tits. Three chicks form a band and call it Hanson, their hit single about smoking poles is a hit among pre-teens everywhere. The first emo t.v. series Daria premiered...SHIT was SO Cash. Bret "The Hitman" Hart unlocks cheat codes and gets screwed by Vince McMahon. But the most importnat event that made everyone Shit Bricks that year was the announcement of the greatest game ever....DUKE NUKEM FOREVER!!! (Some NewFag Game called GoldenEye came out as well, but its not even worth mentioning)

The year is now 2009 and the game has not been released and sadly...it may never at all. (BUM BUM BUM) The studio that has been developing the game for the past 12 years has an Hero'd due to the economy being fake. As one can imagine, this announcement has crippled the nation. Duke Nukem Forever was supposed to be THE BEST GAME EVER MADE. Don't believe me?  The Following Video was released a few days after the company shuuted down. Some Jew working on game released the video to get hired by a bank. Watch:




Yes, I know, WHAT A FUCKING BADASS!!! 12 years of development and this is what they had to show for it, EPIC WINS! As one can clearly see this game would have been legendary in so many ways. (DId you see him throw the finger, never been done in a game!) Now I'm going to go ahead and say it,"Every single game developer worked together to shut down 3D Realms so that this game would never come out because they all know that their games are shit." Madden=Shit, Call of Duty=Shit, Grand Theft Auto=Shit, Halo=Shit, Street Fighter=Shit, Mario=Shit, Gears of War=Shit, Zelda=Shit, WoW=Shit, Toe Jam and Earl=Not Shit. Every single video game that you have ever played, with the exception of Toe Jam and Earl, would have been pure shit compared to Duke Nukem Forever. Good Night...Sweet Prince. We will always "Hail to the King!"

Update from last week: Don't worry about it, I'm not. Also, I'm not the Vandel FAGGOT!

Last week, I was so damn happy. I was excited because it was the end of April, May was starting, school is ending, and I was mending broken friendships. But then on Saturday while I was in San Antonio with my friends (It was free Comic Book day BTW) I got a call from my mom saying that the I.R.S. had sent me a letter saying that I owed a large sum of money because i didn't file all of my income taxes. Last time I checked, I did. So I asked how is that possible. My mom then replied that someone using my name in Minnesota did not file his income tax.......HOLY SHIT! I'M A VICTIM OF IDENTITY THEFT!

That was five days ago and needless to say, I have not been in good spirits as of late. Every time I learn something new about the problem it just pisses me off and I have been taking it out on people I care about. (I apologize BTW) But think about my position for  sec. This thing has totally fucked me over. This guy could open up shit and give me bad Credit and I don't need that right now. I need to apply for a loan to go 2 UTSA for the fall. I've been working my ass off for years and I don't want this shit to fuck me over. If this guy gives me bad credit, then I won't get the loan. Not to mention that I have the I.R.S. on my ass. So yeah when people tell me "Its going to be ok." Or ""How are you feeling?" I just lose it. How the fuck do you think I feel? Someone is out there impersonating me and fucking up my shit. Like I said, I apologize for the outbursts its no one's fault but my own.

I lost my wallet three years ago and now I'm paying for it in a big way. But don't think that I haven't been taking action against this impostor (or Bizarro Andy, I as have referred to him as) As of today, I have 2 attorneys working on it, the Social Security Administration has erased all earnings made by that man from my file (This is so the I.R.S. can get off my back) and the Federal Trade Commission is investigating with the help of the Minnesota police. (or so I hope) I don't expect much results to emerge anytime soon as I had only started taking action yesterday on the account of school and work. So hopefully next week things will somewhat start to feel normal again. I just want this guy to get whats coming to him, so until then I won't be at peace with this situation. This situation has caused me a great deal of stress but I can use what i've learned to help others if this happens to anyone else:

-File a police Report
-Talk to the Socail Security Administation
-Mail a letter to the I.R.S. explaing the situation. (Copy of documents such as the police report will help)
-Contact the Federal Trade Comission see about staring an investigation. (1-877-438-4338 is their hotline #)
-Just wait and hope for the best.

I'll be lucky if this gets resolved fast. Shit, I'll be blessed if I even make it to UTSA in the fall! But I'll know for surte in due time. I thank everyone that has supported me, but this is my fight and I'll face whatever comes out of it alone. Thanks for listening.


BtW, I really didn't like the Wolverine movie...Deadpool deserved better.

As many of you all know. Swine Flu has arrived in America. So far, there is one death in America, as far as I know. But there are a shit load of cases spreading all over the world! The U.S. government now considers it SERIOUS BUSINESS!!! (Not as serious as GOKU VS SUPERMAN, but close) Personally, I'm not worried. We live in America, we have medicine.  Still, the Flu has the world on alert, what do we REALLY know about the disease? We know that it comes from pigs and that pigs are immune. (I know right, WTF!) But many questions are still left unanswered. Where did it originally come from? Was it man-made? How do we stop it? Luckily for u all. I have the answers to such questions. So humor me if you will.



Swine Flu is a man-made disease made by the New World Order! That's right folks, the N.W.O.! And I'm not talking about the wrestling faction consisting of Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall; I'm talking about the real deal. (That would be sweet though.) The New World Order is a group of individuals that have been secretly ruling the world for centuries.  They are responsible for the way history has transpired. I'm talking WW1, WW2, The Cold War, The Monday Night Wars, 9/11, IT WAS ALL THEIR DOING! So what better way to step into the spotlight than unleash a deadly virus. They come out, they cure it, we obey our new overlords. Then we party. The End.

That's just one scenario. But what about....



PIGS! The pig has been around since the dawn of man...waiting. After decades of watching their kind being eaten and pooped out, they are now ready to launch their assault on the world. You might be thinking that this is stupid, but its not people! This is 4 realz! Pigs are fucking smart, they have always been. Maybe even smarter than doplhins. Have any of  you ever seen the movie "Babe." That fucking pig can TALK! It could even heard sheep like a dog, form friendships with man, and win our hearts at the very end when he does the "BA-RAM-YOU" chant. Not only that, but you couldn't kill him because he was too damn cute. His charm is too stong against the will of man. So the point is... Pigs start the flu, they start talking, we can't kill the cute ones and if we kill and eat the ugly ones, we will be infected, they win. That will do pig, that will do.

And now a few things that made me happy this week:

Creed is back

Cave In is back

Summer Movie Season is about to start

I'm in good praises with her again

School is ending.

Free Comic Book Day

This word: Harmonicians

Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is Back!




Things that bummed me out:

Bea Arthur: Good Night Sweet Prince.

So this past weekend, me, J-man, and a couple of bears were in San Antonio. After looking at cds and shit we decided that we be hungry as hell so we go out searching for some food. At first, we were looking for CiCi's. You know that pizza place where they put all the fucking shit in the kitchen on a pizza and serve it buffet style, that place. Anyways, we didn't find it cuz were noobs and shit. J-man wanted Chop Sticks really bad!!! But some of the bears disagreed with him, so we went to some other buffet place instead. Not that I complained about it. I didn't give a fuck where we ate. I was hungry! But J-man was a total wreck! He was as devastated as an autistic kid with a broken G.I. Joe. Then people started calling him fat and shit while we was eating and he gave everyone the cold shoulder.  The next day, while playing Halo 3, J-Man took his own life by sticking a sticky grenade to himself.. Everyone that new him was stunned. Metal bands Cannibal Corspe and Behemoth mourned the lost of thier fathful follower by playing a special 80's music covers night concert. Featuring hits such as "Every Rose has its Thorns", "Final Countdown", and "Cherry Pie". Needless to say, it suked. Upon hearing of this the manager of Chop Sticks then deciced to rename the restaurant. It is now called "J-man's Sticks."

So the lesson here folks is that u shouldn't keep a brother away from his pork. Let alone Chineese pork.
