youtube
search MLIW on www.youtube.com and you'll get footage of this tour.
(i don't wanna be that guy but there's a new song up there)
late news breaking, this just in
the dutch government resigned, hopefully I'll be back home in time to vote. fucking harry potter and his politics was driving me insane, for real.
yesterday I hung out with johannes from holland, it was great seeing him again. he got implants now and they looked awesome... I want!
I love outbreak so much I licked chris's sweat straight of his body, it was real salty, really.
what else... uhm... long drives are driving me crazy. I listened to every single song on my ipod a 100 times now, I need new stuff so i'm taking suggestions now, advise me on new music , please. I like everything.
one of my friends is expecting a baby in august, that blows my mind, and yesterday johannes told me this other guy I know is gonna be a father too. I guess I reached that age... that same age where everything I eat puts on wheight.
today daXmila made me an awesome proposition I will tell all of you about it later, but I just wanna say i'm supersiked. I told my mom so if you really wanna know drop her a line.
the zen arkade songs are being mixed as we speak, I hope i'll be able to put mp3's up here soon.
my body finally doesn't hurt anymore. it kinda was another wake up call that i'm not 16 anymore but i'm back in shape now. nerdie fact: I got 12 jumps in during dead ramones. I had to count 'm haha.
tomorrow and the day after we play two shows in a row in annaheim and presales are amazing. this'll be my claim to fame.
allright, gonna watch bane now. this tour is the best one I ever done where I love every band on it.
keep posting comments people.

ya'll want a bite of my corndog?
The more I think of the game the more it pisses me off. 14 yellow cards and 4 red ones is just ridiculous.
in other news: while playing my cabinet lit on fire. there were literally flames coming out of it, big flames. we had to use water to put it out. Zach from Bane tried to blow it out which was kinda funny, if my cabinet wasn't actually on fire. John's cabinet to be more precise, it's his but I was playing it. I don't know what caused it, I never seen anything like that before. If anybody knows why this could've happened let me know.
Other cool stuff that happened.... uhm, we went to bourbon street in New Orleans. New Orleans so far is probably the most beautifull american city there is and it looks totally european. Bourbon Street is in the french quarters, you may have seen it on Mardi Gras video's. It was a cool mix of stripclubs and bluesbars, and me and chris watched this bluesband play while having some beers. They did Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye and way more stuff. Plus their classic originals 'Going Back To New Orleans' and the tearjerker 'Phonecall from Memphis'. In the near future I definitely wanna try and spend more time there, like a weekend or something.
Yesterday in Corpus Christi after the show me, Chris and Mike (bane's merchguy) decided to go to a bluesbar before going to the hotel and at the bar we met some people who invited us to their afterparty. When morning came they decided to take us to the beach to watch the sunrise. So somewhere between seven and eight we were on the beach by the Gulf of Mexico watching the sun come up while Abel was passed out in his car, Mike and Kadie were swimming and me, Bobby and Chris were in the back of his pick up truck, it was beautifull.
These girls from Orlando decided on a whim to get in their car and follow us. weird. They're wrestling eachother in a room down the hall right now.
Josh got the most intense sunburn I ever seen. His skin looks all blistered and crazy, it hurts a lot to he says, he screams when putting aloe vera on it.
Oh, I started a European straight edge band with the Outbreak guys, we're called XcrucialfingerjumpingX, expect a 7" soon.
Aight, I'm off to bed, gotta sleep now if I wanna wake up on time to catch my free continental breakfast tomorrow morning.

...
I got a hat that says made by, paid for by, worn by....Americans!!!
that's right, three exclamation marks. all that over the american flag.
The dirty south is great. we met the (supposedly) guitar player from Lynyrd Skynyrd. he offered us drugs and then he went to get us girls in the projects. we never saw him again. Southern Belle's are truly Southern Belle's.
I love outbreak.
Other bands I saw on this tour besides the package:
-tarpit
-when tigerZ fight
-ruiner
Listening to and why:
Daniel Lohues (for obvious reasons)
Opgezwolle (wie behartigd je belangen? uhm..)
Winne (pomp die shit net als een lekke band)
The Shins (put me to sleep)
The Doves (just got this from John)
Mew (I love their latest record, I can't stop listening to it, amazing)
Twilight Singers (the new record which is unbelievable)
I want you to find out about The Beatstrings, Old Scratch Revival Singers and All Rattle And Dust. I know there's people reading this so do it allready.
I wrote a bunch of folksy songs in dutch again, can't wait to play 'm for my boys back home.
MLIW is roadtesting some new songs, I love playing those, it's a lot of fun. On that note: I started doing back up vocals which is fun too. Other fun stuff: I party a lot, I'm not letting my back stop me. My back hurts, seriously.

There is no better life
Right now I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. last couple days were interesting and fun, been to florida, saw lizards, we thought the van was stolen but it turned out to be towed, had party's, I won a dance-off, my back is killing me, outbreak are crazy, the airco in the van is broken, we got it fixed but it worked for only about 10 minutes and I wasn't even there.

U.S. Bombs
Tonight I saw the US Bombs and now I'm convinced Duane Peters is Elvis and the US Bombs are the best rockband on the planet. Their encore was Tora! Tora! Tora! and Jags, I was pleased.
Also, I got tattooed again today! Darius, who does posters for shows (which you can see on Jeff's blog, witness in the link section) and a bunch of our new shirt designs hooked me up. So now I have 'MADE IN HOLLAND' on my ribs, it's great! Sorry mom! Pics will be posted as soon I get a chance to take 'm of my camera.

Yo guys, check this out.
Angie Lins got a blog, I want you to read it.
Moon Chaplin
Here's what she posted about me on her myspace blog the other day:
"So, harm is staying at me and Johns house. He is so cute. I feel like he is kind of our son, because John and I scream at each other all the time in front of him...and thats pretty much what my parents did...oh god, I am my parents!
Anyway, funny story. Tonight Minnie was barking because she thinks she is a great dane or something...and Harm busted out, "Shut up Minnie!" Fucking made me pee a little! I felt like we were setting a bad example in front if our son. He always will have a frightened look on his face when John and I destroy each other. But none the less, Harm is great company and I enjoy having him around. He already asks me what time I go to work and get off work. So I came home a little early to check on him. I took him to Salvation Army and we bought books. When our little Harm gets himself into a book, he is in his own little world. I think my son will grow up to be a respecting young man. And maybe even a doctor?!
I have be away on business Thursday evening all the way into Friday afternoon and I dont want to leave him. I hope he can tuck himself in for just one night. I will make him monkey bread again when I get back, because it is his favorite."
Monkey bread IS my favorite, I will bring it back to Europe.
