Big Choruses..

Today was kind of nuts, it 8:32am right now and I opened this window at like 7:10.

Tash and I found a place. We're going down to the apartment after work today to put some money down. I have to schedule an appointment with the gas and electric.

Let's do a recap of this weekend shall we?
Friday
  • Went to School of Rock and hung out with STYG. Jesse is such a good dude, i'm so glad to have him as a friend. So sincere, just an all around good dude.
  • Met some cool kids that live here in Jersey. It's a relief to find kids with common goals / mindsets / morals. Didn't think it would happen, but stoked it did. Croosh sleep over this weekend.
Saturday
  • Went to look @ a house but the owner blew us off.
  • Ate at Panera Bread Co. The sandwhich was good (Roast Beef) but the soup (broc./cheddar) was lackluster.
  • Browsed the mall.
  • Went to Yonkers Raceway, lost $10.
  • Ate sushi in NYC
  • Rented Saints Row 2
Sunday
  • Chilled @ home.
I can't wait for Thanksgiving tomorrow. My first deep fried turkey mm..

Maybe more later.

Oh so tired of being sick...

I'm reporting live from my bed right now. I feel like shit, my stomach is fucked, my right ear won't pop, and my head has been pounding since I woke up. It's official.. I'M SICK.

In other news, i've been meaning to post all week. I got pretty serious about things on Monday and did some serious work on the Immunity myspace. I also tightened up the shirt design, a tweak or two here and there and it should be ready to send off by Friday.

Now if you know me, I'm sure you read that last part twice and said to yourself, "WTF?" Well, I'm sending my design off to a good friend of mine Micheal from Hellfish. (siq brag/namedrop) for the first Immunity shirt to ever be printed by someone else. The reason being, well... there's a few reasons.
  1. I do not have anywhere to print right now. I'm staying at my step-dads house and I don't even have anywhere to play video games regularly.
  2. I wanted to have at least 1 super legit shirt printed by the end of the year.
  3. I wanted to support my friends.
Now, you can go ahead and question my DIY-ness like you have before, but I'll say it again. I wouldn't do it if I felt it compromised the things I believed in. There, now fucking drop it and buy a shirt when it comes out. Super limited run (think 20) and I'm going to do the same design in a different colorway after this one sells out.

I'm going to be in a video for my friends band at the beginning of the month. If all goes according to plan the shirt I mentioned before will be worn by someone in the band, and it will sky rocket me into fame. While the last part of that sentence was mere humor, the first part was not. This video will be dope and the band is awesome. Check them out here.

This week has been tiring, I'm not sure why. Honestly, I think the monotony is starting to get to me. Every day of the week is assigned a certain dinner and everyday for lunch I have the leftovers from the night before. I know it's weird, but I really like a variety in my food. I get burnt out quickly.

My bike rides like an angel. (I know, that is a bad way to describe it, I guess what I'm trying to say is that it rides heavenly?) I go to the park after work (not today or yesterday) and do laps. It's awesome. My legs feel like jelly afterwards and I have never experienced that.

Tomorrow I'm going to see 3oh!3 and Friday I get to hang with Jesse and Casey from Stick To Your Guns (siq namedrop/brag : the sequel) and watch the show. Should be tight.

I'm going to go try to feel better or something. Bye.

This blog is definately not about a girl...

I'm not going to do What I'm Wearing today. Mostly because I've been wearing the same shit since I moved here. I have NO clothes.

I saw Role Models this weekend. It was pretty good. Go check it out.

Went to Yonkers, NY yesterday. There's this small casino, so Tash and I checked it out. 18 to gamble, I couldn't believe it. Also, no smoking. It was cool we both won some money, well technically. I broke even cause 30 bucks fell out of my pocket at some point, whatever.

We aren't getting the house. It's too much for us to handle, so we are looking for a different place. I'm getting tired of getting my hopes up only to be let down.

New Immunity Clothing shirts should be ordered this week. On sale as soon as I get them. I hope this works out. I might do a different color way depending on how this one sells.

Work is so fucking boring.

Today's music.

The weather here in Jersey today is overcast, not too cold, and it looks like it should rain at any moment.

I drug out some of my favorite older albums this morning. This is what I'll be listening to all day.

Decendents - Milo Goes To College
Gorilla Biscuits - Start Today (remaster)
Stay Gold - Pills and Advice
Champion - Promises Kept
Crime In Stereo - Is Dead
Brand New - The Devil And God...
With Honor - This Is Our Revenge
Ambitions - Strangers

Should make for a pretty solid work mix I think.

feels good

first new design of the year (took me a while, i know.)

hopefully i'll get some of these printed by xmas

ChrisImmunity.com

So my good friend Scotty G. is working on a website for me. This website will inevitably replace this blog, but who knows, i might keep it around for personal thoughts and things like that. Obviously I'll link it when it's all done.

Tash and I got our house!


Those are just some cheesy stock pictures that the landlord used in the craigslist post. I'll post better ones when I take some.

Tash won $1,000 on the radio today! wtf! I'm stoked obviously, cause it's going to make moving in a lot easier financially. WHEW.

My bike should be ready either today or tomorrow. Stoked!

Gives me the creeps...

I think once a week I'm going to do a What I'm Wearing post.
This will be the commemorative post because I did a bit of shopping this weekend.
We'll go from top to bottom.

Jacket(s)
Obey Rapture II Jacket


Rockett Ride or Die Jacket
(A quick story about this jacket. I won this jacket in a contest on absolutepunk.net , I had to name a new collaboration shirt that Rockett had done with Set Your Goals. I called it Set Your Ghouls (I know, I'm clever.) and I got to pick what other shirt I wanted. I kindly asked for this hoodie, and Travis from Rockett gave it to me. Amazing dude, I would buy from them in a heartbeat.)



Shirt(s)
I'm wearing this nice volcom polo I got from Buffalo Exchange (a hipster second hand store)



Under that I am wearing this excellent baby blue Four Year Strong shirt. It's a tribute to 80's skateboarding and says "Rise or Die!" I guess dying is the theme for todays clothing choice.

Pants
I got these pants from Hot Topic (lame, I know) for like $30. I was stoked. They fit really well, they stretch nicely, and they were cheap! I like these jeans.


Shoes
I got the Vans Fixed Gear Authentics. They have this awesome reflective trim, as well as a COG on the heel of the shoe where it would normally say Vans, and a chain on the inside where the sole is. Pretty sweet if you ask me.


So there you have it. That's what I'm wearing today.
I'm also thinking of doing a photoshoot for a Day In The Life Of.. maybe once I get my house? Who knows.

This Weekend
So this weekend was pretty cool. It rained all night friday night, so we just grabbed some food and played rockband 2 / fallout 3 in the basement. On saturday we went to the mall and went shopping, and went to see Madagascar 2 after we looked at some shitty house in Jersey City. Sunday, Tash and I went to eat again (keeping with our tradition) and just kinda drove around looking for houses. I think we really found one this time. She's actually on her way to drop off our application right now. The lady renting it said she really likes us so I don't think it's too far fetched to say that we got this house.

Mondays are always slow and the company I'm working at has really hit a dry spell so it's even more slow. GUH.

Faith Restored.

As a country we've been through some tremendously horrendous things. We've been living the past 7 years under a blanket of fear placed over us by our own government.

Starting January we will see the change that we have been promised by President Obama. It will be a slow change, but a change nonetheless.

I woke up today and felt a new dawn. Things are going to get better. I can feel it.
