hellllo. things are good. i went to a crazy party after the show the other day in atlanta. wall to wall people, filled with tomfoolery, rasmatas, and all kinds of dubotchery. me and rick were the sober duo of death.
i ate a folofal burger in athens. its like a crazy new taste of burger made out of ground up garbonzo beans.
garden state was a good movie. i set my self up for a better movie though. everyone said they cried, so i kinda went in overly prepared for it. eternal sunshine has a similar texture to it. it's about completely differant things. it's still probably the most enjoyable movie experiance i have had.
i feel for my friends with family issues. i have no idea what its like and my heart goes out to them.
anyway

things are going great. i think our band is finally taking off. we got all the way to number 3 on purevolume the other day. with 4000 individual plays in one day. thats insannnne to me. i cant even imagine that.
andddddddddd
we are about to buy a 15 passanger van. so that means i can leave my mcdonalds lifestyle, and go on tour forever. i cannot wait. hopefully we can plan for some charity stops and like soup kitchen stuff a long the way. helping people all over the US would be amazing.
you guys should watch our video estrela-saturnine.wmv
tell me what you think. we did it for free so im happy with it.
yeah sorry this is all i have to talk about.
i went cosmic bowling. it's booty dancing to the tootsy roll song. heh. yeah thats about all.

im happy. yees. it's nice. everything is going wonderfully. we got our cds in. im happppy. the release show went wonderfully. well except for the head bashing. robby's bass bashed me in the back of the head by accident. it cracked the neck of his guitar and my head was bleeding a lot. i finished the show though. i was pretty dizzy though. right after it happened everything went into slomo. heh. i was bleeding all over my shirt and the back of my head, it was TUFFFFFF. haha. not really, it just hurt real bad. i thought i was ok but everyone told me to go the hospital afterwards so i went to the emergency room and got stitches. i guess i had a slight concussion. heh TUFFF. we were shooting footage for some videos this film graduate is making for us. im gonna get the hit in slomo on the video its gonna be awesome.
yes not much else is going on. we played a show with albert react in summerville SC last night. that was real fun. the place is like small as my kitchen (not really), so its awesome to play because everyone is so close and packed and it's really personal. yes. misses chelsea logue played too. as she did friday too. yes it was fun.
it was real scary the other day before the release show because the people sending us all of our cds after they got pressed and printed told us they accidentally sended them 2 day mail instead of over night. i for real got retartedly depressed because all of our goals we had leading up to that cd release show would of just been erased. but somehow they were wrong and they still got to my house on time. it was an awesommmmmmmmmmme feelling. like jumping up and down. heh. im retarted. we all hugged each other and made out. not really. but we were happy.
yeah i feel like a doofus for only writing about my band, but thats all there really is for me. i could talk about how much i hate working at mcdonalds, but yeah, i would rather not.
sometimes people make me mad though. people that have like snapshot judgments. were they meet you for 10seconds and determine whether or not your an asshole or not for the rest of your life. after the show on friday i was trying to talk to everyone despite the bleeding wound in the back of my head, and i really had to help pack up our stuff so i could go to the emergency room. i don’t know i try to be the nicest i can possibly be to everyone. seriously, i will go out of my way to like make things better for anyone i'm around, but it's like if im already doing 20 things and have a bleeding head, you cant expect a 2 hour conversation about the braves. i just said hey and thanked everyone for coming a lot. that’s about all i could do in my drunken state (not from alcohol from the concussion) i don’t know. im dumb.
anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
you guys should buy a cd. yes. go to www.estrelarock.com and you can order it or send us the money. it really helps we are really giving are all so the littlest bit helps out so much.
anyway, i hope everyone is doing fantastic. : )
goodbye.

man things are really awesome right now. i feel happy. really happy. i have four really good friends that everything is great with.
we just got back from recording. it was awesome. we found this nice girl to stay with that had real rich parents, and we got like her whole basement to ourselfs. it;s like bigger than my house. it was neat. and then as long and as stressful as recording was it really makes you feel like you accomplished something. we made the songs fancy with all of these crazy noises, and connected all the tracks to kind of make it like one big piece of art. i hope everyone likes it. they should be back from the pressing in midapril, so everyone should buy one, so we can not be in a debt. : )
i would realllllllllly appreciate you guys checking some of the songs out, you can download 3 of the songs from here
http://www.purevolume.com/estrela
you should tell me what you think as well. : )
any way not much more to say. i'm just feeling really great and hope everyone else is as well.

work work work work work. forever.
when im there i feel like i’m not even at work. like i'm at home. because im there so much.
things are not good lately.
at all.
serious troubles with me and my best friend.
i wish i knew what was going on with him.
valentines day made me realize how i don’t have a life. i didn't even know it was valentines day. someone mentioned it at work, and then i just worked until they made me leave so i wouldn’t have to see people together. i wish i had of had someone to pamper and do stuff for. someone should just let me put flowers all over there house or something just so i can get it out of my system.
yeah it wasn’t awesome. 12 hours is all i can stay before they tell me i have to leave. it doesn’t even bother me, i feel like i have nothing to look forward to anymore. i just want to record. so bad. which is why i stay at work for so long. i can't care. i think even if our band is crappy we can get somewhere off of pure dedication and hard work. hopefully. and after i get this cd pressed and all that fancy garbage we will tour forever, or until we die, or until enough people know about us to where we have to get somewhere.
i wish things weren’t so complex and everything in the world didn't cost so much money.
i wish i had people helping me.
i can't care.
i think my coworkers think i’m a raging cocaine addict that works retartedly long shifts to feed his drug addiction. i work front counter a lot now, so i get to talk to people and be really nice to the old ladies. i dont know why but i feel real good when i'm overly nice to the old people. or any people for that matter.
i saw the passion of christ the other day. i liked it. it was how i imagined about. some of it was really drawn out. crazily violent. no one wants to see a man get beat as much as it happens in the movie. i guess that's how they wanted to portray it. in the movie jesus' character is so modest and honest. he cares nothing about proving anyone wrong or making people like him or anything like that. i wish i could be more like that. people are just laughing at him beating him severely and he just says "please forgive them father they do not know." jesus or not that's admirable. it's kinda similar to the way spider man acted. if you go see it bring your tissues. there are parts in it that made me want to hug my mom. it was the most packed i have ever seen the theater.
i’m tireeeed.
stressfull days at the studio.
it's so fun.
heh cheesy pic.
anyway i hope everyone is doing awesome.
have a great night.

southern girl- incubus |
] |
yeah. today is my 15th day in a row at mcdonalds. im going insane. on top of that i just applied at waffle house and walmart for the night shift. my life is about to decrease in fun 40 percent. oh well you gotta do what you gotta do. me and the band got together and worked out this game plan, so we have to have a bunch of money by mid march so we can record this new EP. we are gonna try and have it pressed and decently distrubuted and all the fancy smhancy stuff. i'm excited.
for now i have to just take it. i have to be at micky Ds in 40min. it's like a countdown to an execution.
savvvvvvvveeeeeee mmmmeeeeeeeeeeeee.
anywaaaaaay. the new incubus album is neat. it's got like a whole lot of stuff i realllllly like, and then a whole bunch of stuff that's really weird sounding. but all in all i like it a lot. number 2, 4, 6,7, and 8 are my favorites so far.
listen to it.
http://www.mtv.com/music/the_leak/incubus/a_crow_left_of_the_murder/index.jhtml
: )
anywaaaaaaaaay(part 2) a lot of random things have been making me angry.
i read a story about a man with a wife and kids that was working a successful job and just known to be a good family man. he was growing marijuana in his closet for personal use with no intent to distribute. somehow he got caught by some weird accident, and he got like 40 years in prison. 40 years?? this man is going to jail with child molesters, murderers, and theives, for growing a plant in his closet. that is insane to me. people are out being drunk destroying there families by cheating on there wives from the poor decision making alcohol causes, but hey it's legal.
other things that make me angry are the laws against prostitution. i mean i dont support prostitution at all, but it seems like people should be able to do what they want, and if it were legal not so many women we get abused/raped/murdered and it would be regulated so it would stop so many STDs from taking over. i don't know just a thought.
even more things that make me angry are bands like the black dahlia murder. i have nothing against metal music, but has anyone ever seen the real black dahlia murder? it's horrrrrrible. like check out the pictures. it looks like something you would see in cheesy B horror movie. i hate how being TUFF is so cool these days. someone should have a big killing fest on all of there families, and then start a band with the name of the tragedy. i think it would help them realize a few things.
...well maybe that is a bit extreme, but you get the point. maybe we could just kill the band members and start a band called "the black dahlia murder MURDER"
then on the same token is jonathan davis (KoRn!!) with his collection of serial killer paraphernalia framed on his tour bus. ooooo how spoooky. the stuff on his wall actually took lives. lets all stab his daughter and ask him if he wants us to frame the knife. maybe he will think it's "badass."
i think people don't even think things through these days.
sorry for ranting like this but i might as well keep going.
heh. casual sex pisses me off. heh not really people doing it but because i cant. i guess im jealous. i don't know why i have to be a pansy when it comes to it, i just could never do stuff like that. heh i guess i’m not really jealous i don't even want to be like that. at all. me and bobby were at mexican restaurant, and all these drunken army guys, were shouting and yelling about "getting pussy." if that were ever me i would kill my self. for real. sex is like a hugggggge deal to me i don't know how people can just do it and not care. to each his own i guess.
any way duty calls. this was a crappy entry. hope i didn't piss anyone off. heh.
well have a goooood day.
: )

annnnnnnnnnny way. enough of the oldmcdonaldhadafarm tales.
the silverstein show was reallllllllllllllll fun. biggest crowd yet in the AUG. all the bands were pretty nice, and it was real fun. really awesome crowd too. lots of out of towners. these perdyful girls from orlando came. they want us to move into this 5 bedroom house in orlando for a while, and play a whole bunch of shows down there. i'm thinking after we get our van we might move down there for a couple month. haha i can always work at another mcdonalds.
i want to dye the long part of my hair dark burgandyyyyyyyy.
i have been hanging out with a lot of different people lately. the secret way of hiding lonleyness. heh lets hang out. the trampiline sessions continue. heh.
at least i always have the boys.
me and bob went and saw big fish with our free movie passes. : ). it's aaawwwwwwwwwweeeeeessssssommmmmmmmmeeeeee. go see it. now. it's really cooooool.
my parents got all of the friends seasons dvds. i didn't really like show, but they have been watching it non stop in order, so now i kinda got involved in it. haha. ross can never make the right decisions with rachel. he always messes it up.
haha
we have been writing a lot of new music. it's more mature and more original. we have been listening to the mars volta a lot. heh : )
i have been trying to get these t-shirts done, i guess i have narrowed it down to a couple different designs.
this one i kinda like
but then i kinda like this one as well
heh i don't know. i might trash them both.

here is a perdy picture my friend lauren took.

i have been hanging out with the boys lately. it's cool. it's a temporary cure for my retarted lonliness that haunts me regularly. heh except when they all have there girlfriends there too. then i just sit alone and play guitar. heh my guitar is always there for me.
today rob and bob came over with all of robby's brother's finger board accessories. like skate parks and stuff. heh we are real nerds. it was really fun. we sat for like 3 hours finger boarding on the half pipe, the rails, and over and through various other obstacles. we had way too much fun. my mom came home in the midst of it and just had this look. it was funny.
i went into seclusion over the weekend. i played guitar in my room for 10 hours straight on saturday. i was determined to write better music. i always think it can be better. it was cool except for my room has carpet on the walls and ceilings so it was realllllllll hot. its like 80 degrees in there. maybe more.
someone should help me find a job. me and bobs boss at the framing houses job we had took all the money he was supposed to pay people with and bought a lot of crack and dissapeered from the world.
it's not awesome. heh.
also my dog ate my cell phone.

so yeah this is really weird. like weird. all of us (estrela) are on this journal site called blogpod.com, and it's like extensive details about our lifes that are all fake. We didn't write any of it. at all.
it's really weird. bobby's is the most written in. it has like 30 something entries about him and his family and all kinds of stuff. they even went as far as putting his exgirlfriend on there. they used a wrong picture for her though.
they have us like commenting back and forth on each entry about our band and other random things. theres a lot of things they got wrong though. it's just kinda freaking me out. i don't even know what to think really.
heres a link. look at the insanity.
This is bobs.
his is most detailed. you can find all of ours from his. it's all completely fake. man help me get to the bottom of this.
i'm not like pissed off or anything, it's just funny that people think we are that interesting. heh. i'm guessing who ever does it reads this journal so yeah. i bet it's akward for you right now.

i love the beach in the winter time. it's so calm and lightly colored. the endless ocean mingles with the sky, the gulls hovering about each other with hoarse screams, one moment flapping on the foam of a wave, and then soaring aloft till their white bodies melt in the sun.
pictures of our post christmas adventure. my grandma was having serious heart problems thus the reason for the trip. worried as we were she is doing better than ever now. i'm glad. it was a nice little trip to myrtle beach with the family. we went and bought 10 loafs of bread and had a seagull feeding fistival. i like the pigeons. they wait patiently, and are very friendly. seagulls are evil, gauwing at you beating each other up for crumbs. thats my aunt and little cousin on the top and my sister on the top. : )
i also saw a couple movies during the trip. stuck on you, aside from the predictable pratfalls and obvious sex jokes, there's nothing exceptionally funny at all. it's one joke the whole way through. i don't know. i didn't like it. badsanta on the other hand was decently funny, carrying my attention all the way through. it had a good story to follow as well, with like this twisted halfway moral ending that makes you wanna "awww". heh. i liked it. they both werent like the cheesy love movies i like though. haha.
any way. it was a fun trip. i got real far with my little cousins in the ninja turtle game for playstation 2 when i realized it was the same thing the whole game. heh.
tonight i did some christmas shopping, and some julius drinking, and some family guy watching, and some trampoline jumping. it was aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. i had a wonderul night. : ) trampolines are cozy. especially with the stars above you, and leaves going in your pants. yes.
well that's about all i hope everyone has a happy and safe new year. yes. be safe. i need to find something to do. later.

i guess now i can attempt to drown my emptiness in volume swells, multi tap delay, and overused chord progressions.
do to everyones sudden change of heart, i was forced to switch to live journal. i guess everybody has a live journal anyway, it was inevitable. hopefully i can stay here.
christmas was wonderful.
reflecting on family memories.
lying in the cold with kids laughing on the trapoline.
couching through christmas eve sharing body warmth.
