Even though I am not a very "religious" or "spiritual" person, I really think it would be cool to go on a journey to like Indonesia or India. I have been so resetless and I really want peace. I mean, I go to church and everything, but I never really put it so much into practice. America is not a peaceful place. Everyone is constantly moving and working, there NEVER seems to be any rest. I want to take in the nature and the fresh air. Do we really take time to take everything in here? I don't think any of us know anything about a peaceful life. Our families come 2nd and so do our friends. We live in a very sad fast pace culture. I also want to try the food :) It would be nice and yummy. I know I am a dork, but I bet that I would feel much better eating that food then this food here....all these fatty shit we eat. Imagine just sitting under the stars or under the bright sun near a beautiful lake or woods, just sitting here not doing anything but listening and looking. IT SOUNDS SO AMAZING! I am starting to be at peace thinking about it. I think I am going to start meditating more. I think it might be good for me. Especially with all this college shit. I hope that you all are doing really well, because the weather is starting to get really cold here.
And for all those people on the East Coast...I hope you are safe and you remain safe, you are in my prayers...love you <3

SO.....school life starts up on Monday. I am very nervous. First year of college! Isn't it crazy? I remember my freshman year in high school. It was horrible. I am also very excited for the different people and the different things I will learn. I wonder who I will meet? My college books cost a little over $800 all together! ISN'T THAT CRAZY? I can't believe that it's happening. I have been applying for jobs everywhere. I have had like 3 job interviews last week, and none of them weent through
Fall...the season of beautiful cooler weather, sweatshirts, books, and jeans... my FAVORITE season... I love the storms we get, the leaves changing and Halloween. I know I am a little old to really celebrate...but I love dressing up as something interesting and then walking around my neighborhood and just stare at people (I was Freddy Kroger last year!) I went all out with the sweater and hat...but I was the super sexy version, of course... I made it fun. I also love all the different horror movies that are on TV. I absolutely love the old movies like Halloween. They did a remarkable job on them. THE 1980s baby! I have found myself drinking a lot more tea lately... I love the feeling of being warm and wrapping up in a blanket. Fall also inspires me to start painting again! I love painting autumn paintings of the trees and nature. Nature is seriously beauty and never fails to amaze me. There is something about walking around outside and taking a deep breathe. I have also been practicing my drums like CRAZY! I am even going to start a band with a friend which is going to be insanely exciting! Classic rock!!! My friend is an AMAZING guitarist that has been practicing for years. He asked ME TO BE IN THE BAND, which I guess means something. I guess that means I am getting good. I practice sometimes up to 3 hrs. a day, trying to master perfection. Everyone in the house said that I am really REALLY starting to sound really good. (self confidence level has gone ^^^ for sure!) Been listening to a diversity of music: Testament (of course), Marilyn Manson, Murderdolls, SlipKnoT, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Journey, Queen, Green Day, Enslaved, Nightwish, Blink 182 (I love the 90-2000s bands), Bowling For Soup, AFI, and Falling In Reverse, and some Alex Skolnick Trio (always can listen to jazz, especially with amazing guitarist Alex Skolnick himself!
Call me a nut for being in-love with music if you want. But it is such a MASSIVE part of my life. I feel like I am where I am meant to be when I listen to it and play it. I wanna play drums forever, until I can't play anymore. I wanna go somewhere with it. Drummers that inspire me: ---Keith Moon ---Joey Jordison ---Louie Clemente ---Paul Bostaph ---Gene Holgan ---Ringo Starr ---Ryan Seaman ---Shawn Drover ---John Tempesta ---Sandy West ---The Rev ---Racci Shay ---

Hey guys, I have been so busy with essays for school. I am so tired, and my tiredness and isolation has made me extremely depressed. I know that I am bipolar and it makes life extremely difficult. I feel like throwing things, screaming, crying, and laugh at myself for being so stupid. It's completely ridiculous... I have found myself crying a little bit more then I probably should be. I don't know what to do anymore. I am happy I can basically vent to the world, without them knowing how I am. I've been listening to a pretty big varity of music lately: everything from Testament, Jeffree Starr, Secondhand Serenade, and AFI. Have you guys ever felt extremely alone like that? I feel relieved that I have had over a 10,000 read my blog... for some reason it gives me peace. Odd right? I have been playing the drums like CRAZY! My and my friend are starting a classic rock band, apparently I am pretty good...he is AMAZING at guitar...better then most I have seen. I guess that means something that he asked me to play for him. I saw the movie Sinister last Sunday with my sister. It made me never want kids....EVER! Let's just say the movie really isn't scary, but more on the gory and creepy side. Awesome storyline. Halloween is coming up and I have NO idea what I am going to be! I have been invited to college costume parties and I need to know what to be...defiantly something sexy ^_^ ... I finally don't feel sluty showing off some boob-age LMAO. Recently I have been studying different religions and cults for fun... I realized there is SO much out there I don't know and wish to learn. I mean, I have my own beliefs, but it's always cool to study others... I promise I am NOT creepin on people. Me and my friend (from Norway) have started a fan page for our favorite drummer... which I am not going to reveal right now...let's just say we actually have a lot of hits...and pictures that NO ONE has been....pretty kickass. I REALLY hope you guys are doing great... it's going to be an awesome autumn...it's my ultimate favorite season...it's so beautiful! Enjoy it take nature in! PCE and love, PJ
Testament Live in London: Raging Waters (one of my ultimate favorite songs)
So I have been pretty busy with my midterms for classes. But I have found a lot of time to practice my drums.... I have gotten SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! I am so proud of myself. The only problem is I have developed carpel tunnel in my hands...which sucks...especially since I am 19. That is pretty young to have problems but whatever. I have been practicing a lot of thrash metal. You know I am in-love with it. My friend and me also created a "Louie Clemente fan page" on Facebook (I know I know, a little crazy), but it made it fun. We talk to a bunch of fans, and we found pictures. We also found other information that we are not going to share with the world (sorry Testament fans!) about Louie and what's been going on with him the past years. I feel like I am really REALLY getting into music. I have found my true love. Music NEVER fails you....it's always stuck in your mind, and waiting for you when you get home from a long day.
The whole "Louie" thing is pretty cool. I made friends with this awesome person from Norway. We run the page together called "Louie Clemente fans" if you wanna join the page with us! WELCOME! We love the conversations.
