The first blog entry of any blog on an website is like opening up a new CD or a blank notebook. Who knows what you'll find on there, chances are whether you spent $10 at Best Buy (screw FYE), a show, or Newbury Comics...you've probably got an idea that there's something on there for you. Same with a notebook. You'll probably write a few good notes or stories or poems or suicide letters in there. Maybe you won't. Maybe you'll just admire your format of the notes, or handwriting. Whatever. The only time this simile would fail would be the time i walked into Target and bought I-Empire from Angels & Airwaves knowing that "Everything's Magic" was a piece of shit rip off of Anthem Pt. 2 from Blink. I ended up hating the album. And it wasn't $10. It was lik $14.99 because it included some shitty acoustic version of...The Adventure?

I guess if you're reading this, you probably don't know me, but figured this is a good place to start. You're right. =]

I'm eighteen, i was born in a tiny town in the South Shore of Massachusetts called Rockland. In 95, I moved to Clearwater, Florida and in 97 I moved to Tampa, Florida. Then i guess by 17 I moved out of my family's house and now currently live in Odessa, Florida with my best friend. Who at the moment was kicked out earlier today. Now its just me in this huge house. I rarely see his mom. She pops in to check on things every few hours then leaves never to be seen again till 8 pm the next night. Where does she go? I wonder if Accounts see the world differently. Like an Accountant Narnia or something.

I consider myself a renaissance kid with a witty sense of humor.  I like reading, writing, even composing. Gotta love that acoustic guitar. Eoin Colfer's 'Artemis Fowl' books are by far one of the best stories i've ever read. Same goes for Obert Skye's 'Leven Thumps' and Bradbury's 'Fahrenheit 451'. I'm currently reading a book about the LAPD's investigation on Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G called 'LAbyrinth' by Randall Sullivan. Its captivating to say the least. Suge Knight is Evita's Eva Person meets Frank Lucas from American Gangster. Bought the book on Amazon for a dollar. Ballin'

Music is another big thing in my life. I'm enthralled with 90's gangsta rap. Old Dr. Dre, Wu-Tang Clan, Tupac, Blackstreet, basically the entire Death Row Record label. Hence me reading LAbyrinth. Apart from my Jekyll & Hyde love for rap, i enjoy hardcore and screamo music. Fear Before the March of Flames, A Day to Remember, Brandnew, Thrice, Cursive, The Lawrence Arms, The Spill Canvas, all equally hold a place in my ear and as far as Thrice goes, a place on my skin. Soon to be allied with Cursive and Fear Before.

I've got two tattoos, an anchor on my left bicep (my last name [Murphy] in Gaelic means sea warrior, my grandfather was in the Coast Guard and i love fishing) and the state of Massachusetts with a witch flying over the Moon which happens to be setting into the atlantic, just above cape cod. The mainland says "UNDER A KILLING MOON" ;; a song by thrice. I've got 3 or 4 ideas left to be drawn out but i wont mention them because i dont trust you yet =]

I used to work for a web design company, making websites for bands on Victory Records and shit like that, then i kinda stopped fucking with photoshop, went to work for an IT company in Massachusetts, moved back to FL (regrettably) and now i work in a warehouse shipping computer equipment.

My AIM is 'oh romantics'

have at it, i find myself pretty interesting at times.
