This is a drawing I did of our guitar tech. It’s him riding a unicorn while he’s dressed as superman. I guess he’s using it for his guitar pick design. I can’t wait to add color and finish it but I just had to show u guys…it’s fucking hilarious. Follow Brian on Twitter @xbrianwardx. He says some pretty ridiculous shit. Peace

I wish I had my markers damn it. Any way, I love classic skateboard art from norcal. That influenced this.

Here’s A drawing I did for an Ian tattoo a friend wants to get. Pre color and shading.

Tonight I went to see law abiding citizen. I will admit. It was good. Violent as all hell, kept me on the edge of my seat, good story etc. For some reason I still walked out kind of bummed. As soon as the movie was over I called my wife immediately just to tell her I love her. how fucking bummed I would be if anything would happen to her, and how I feel bad sometimes that I’m not there. She’s not a weak woman in the least bit, but as we were talking, we began to realize how fragile we are and how fragile this life is. It’s scary sometimes. I think that’s why I can’t sleep at night. These thoughts are good though. It’s good to be reminded. Even if it is by a dumb movie. It’s good to be reminded to not take this life for granted. I told her over the phone how i dont want to die young and get my brains shot out by my cellphone(if u saw the movie youll know what im talking about) and sometimes I wish I could just stay in our house and never come out. Humans scare the crap out of me sometimes. There are a lot of sketchy people in this world. She then said “ya, you might be living..but you won’t be alive” she’s smart. I like that. Anyway, I just needed to get this down on screen. It’s 4 am and I’m in my bunk listening to halo battles going on in the front and back lounges of the bus. This is not meant to be a downer in the least. It’s more of a realization. It’s good. Some really great friends made a painting for me and my wife once, and on it it said “draw circles around the ones you love. Not hearts. Because hearts are meant to be broken and circles never end.”

Ok here’s the thing, all I do is play video games. Twitter just took over my life. I’m sorry tumblr. I really miss you. I forgot how to blog on you, and make sweet and tender blogs on you and kiss you and hug you and make you my very own. I will try to make it up to you by taking you out on a nice date at the sizzler. Oh wait, but then i cant get to know you because youll have a mouthful of food. Oh wait..youre vegan? Nevermind. Ok really, I have been on the road since my last blog and before my blog before that I was home livin it up, Oside style with my boo and my boomer for like 2 months. Ya feel me? Technology. I like it. But sometimes it’s nice to let go. Let go people! Leave the cell phone and the sidekicks home for one day and go on a hike or something. Guilty! Now I’m on the bus getting emo with steve klein jammin to the don’t forget to breathe compilation from 97. On tour until December 18th with Dashboard. Some exciting news will be coming your way in the next few weeks too. Shhhh…secrets. Well enough ranting about stupid shitz. Goodnight my little tumblers.

Love, Jpoo

Hey there tumblrtowne. I have been failing with my blog. Too much snacking. Er slacking. Well actually my confession is that Twitter has taken over my bones. Like adamantium. But like not really like adamantium. I want everyone to get off the computer now and go buy the new frank turner record AND there is a new freakin Shudder to Think record coming out called live from home. Crazy. Actually not many of you will get up from the computer to guy buy the frank turner album because we live in the future. we can buy stuff by sending our credit card information to satellites in outer space! Boom!

Ahhh memories….”snowbirds and townies” by Further seems Forever. I love this song. This is from the album the moon is down when chris carrabba sang for them. i can relate completely to this song. it brings me back to the days when we all still lived in florida. i would go to chris’s house in pompano, which then was then called the “vacant andys” house , that was his old band and they all lived together….id go there to hang and drink beers before i was 21 and listen to all sorts of great music.  nfg’s first tour EVER was with vacant andys. this is also a really good make out song. i reccomend this album and any other FSF record for that matter.

and before i go here is a new song by BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB. “lamplight”

enjoy some fine british music

that title means im excited! i am hangn at heathrow for the next 3 hours before my first flight home even begins. 7 hours to JFK then a 2 hour layover then 6 hours to SD. Im just going to put in my headphones, drown everyone out and listen to the new bombay bicycle club record. its so good. so good. i liked their EPs but this full length is great! England was very good to us. thank you!!!! the shows and festivals were great! drinking s coffee now and internetting around. the guys in funeral for a friend are nice gentlemen, and abe from deftones is a good man too. hung with FOB dudes for a hot minute too. good to see some familiar faces at the fests. im glad to get back to the best place in the world with the best people in the world. Let the adventure begin.

see u in america
