Yeah, I have absolutely no idea what is going on with anyone in my band, or anyone else I know for that matter. I have been lazy. I've been staying at my house, by myself, playing, writing, doing nothing for the most part. I think I am going to come onto AIM tomorrow and talk to everyone. Because I know you are all just dying to talk to me. So yes, tomorrow I will talk to everyone. Bye for now.

Oh yeah, I need some icons, because the ones I have now suck. I also want a kick-ass layout like Steve's or Jordan's or Ian's. Why is it that everyone in my band has cooler shit than I do?

I'm really angry at myself. I don't know why I don't update this thing regularly. I have a lot to say, but when I actually sit down and write in this thing, I can't think of anything to write about. I also hate how I say how much I writing in this journal every time I write an entry.

We are officially down with the Civic tour. I am happy, but at the same time, I will miss touring and being with everyone all the time. Even though that does get real old, real quick. We have almost a month off until we have to do another show some where in California. Then we have about another month off until we go to Japan. Fun.

While we have all this time off, we're going to go work in the studio and try to to write some more songs. Writing my songs is my favorite part. I just like to write everything down and express it through song rather than talking about it. Wow, I sound way to feminine saying that. But I don't know, I really like writing lyrics and putting together songs. I don't like going into the studio because you have to do everything like five hundred thousand times.

We (meaning New Found Glory) have given away like three cars within the past week. I guess Honda has nothing else to do than give us free cars that we can give away. But all the contests were through the radio and keys were given out and only one key actually started the car and then whoever could start the car got it. Yeah, you know how those go. If their key started it, they really freaked out. It was almost scary. I take that back, it was scary.

I don't know why, but I feel like I want to be by myself for a little while. Like since we ended the tour and I've been with everyone like all day and all night.. I just want some alone time. I don't know. I think I am rambling. So that means I will end this.

The suckiest part of having a journal is remembering to update it. But yeah, Love came out and visited us on Saturday I believe. It was fun having someone come out and actually visit with me. She's really cool and I like her a lot. I hope she can come out to another show before the tour is over. Speaking of the tour, we have only five shows left after today. The one tonight is in Phoenix, and then the rest of the shows are in different cities in California.

But first I would like to share something with you that happened at our show in Las Vegas.. the summary of the article that someone wrote is kind of long so I will cut tag it.

Chad ran into the audience...and a security guard grabbed him by the throat! All he was carrying was a mic, so they had no clue he was in the band. I was like, oh shit.. and my cousins who were with me warned me to get ready to go. Then, Chad comes onstage and the music stops and he is so fucking pissed...he was near tears, it was crazy. This is what he said: "Thanks for the security guards for helping us out, but I don't appreciate you guys grabbing me by my throat. But that security guard that grabbed me by the fucking throat is an asshole! If a fucking kid sneaks down to the pit, get him out, but don't fucking grab him by the throat. You should let them go for being sneaky enough to get past you guys. Fuck you. They shouldn't grab people by the throat just because some fucking heavy metal band burned down innocent people. The shows almost over, just fucking let them go."

Then Jordan says that they would play a happy song, and they played Sonny. So I'm jumping, listening to the song, and I see a whole mob of people jumping the barricade and sneaking to the pit and MORE security guards are grabbing people by the throats again! So Chad stops the whole song and everyone is quiet and he begins yelling at the security guards, saying "FUCK YOU" over and over and over again! I found out from my cousin that another security guard had grabbed a kid by the throat, a fucking 12-year-old, mid-size kid and pushed him down. Ian then threw down his bass and jumped off the stage and went mad crazy on the guard. He was punching the hell out of the dude, so pissed off! So then everyone comes onstage, Good Charlotte, MXPX, and The Movielife, and other backstage people and they all get into the fight.

It was not a fun night. I can tell you that.

But on a much lighter note, and a good way to end to my entry.. How the hell did I get added into nasty_sex

Edit: I removed a bunch of people from my friends list because I either didn't know who you were or I didn't read your entries anyway. Chances are if you are in a band you are still on my list.

I forgot to update. So sue me. I am going to update before I sign online so I can't be bombarded with people threatening me to update.

Well, we were in Idaho today and played a show with Good Charlotte, MxPx and The Movielife. We bought some potatos because, thats what you are supposed to do when you are in Idaho.. right? Tomorrow we are going to be in Utah, and then on Friday we will be in Vegas baby!

Hi, my name is Chad, and I suck.

Wow, maybe I should update this, considering that is what journals are for.

We are still on tour. I really like touring. Tonight we are in Kansas along with Good Charlotte, MxPx and Stretch Armstrong. This is a really awesome tour with great bands.

I uploaded some new icons, but I know you all wish I had ten, so whoever feels generous.. buy me a paid account.

I was online last night. I know, amazing. But we had a "guys only" chat. Needless to say it was fun, despite the orgy and all the licking that was going on. Very gay if I say so myself.

Hi Avril.

Please don't tell me my updates suck, because I already know.

New Found Glory. Yep, thats my band, well not my band, but the band I play in. We are the hottest band ever. Okay, maybe except for Blink 182, but come on those guys are sexy. We toured with them a couple years back, and it was just awesome. Okay, but now we're doing a tour with Good Charlotte, the Civic Honda Tour to be exact. Fun stuff. We're going all over the US to bring the joy of music to everyone. Or atleast to the people who show up at our shows. Right now we are actually going to New Orleans. Too bad its not Mardi Gras. So we're going to be doing the tour thing until June.

Our band consists of Jordan Pundik the lead vocalist, my buddy Steve Klein playing the guitar, my often shirtless friend Ian Grushka on the bass, monkey looking Cyrus Bolooki on the drums, and myself Chad Gilbert also on guitar. We are a bunch of hot guys, okay, maybe except for Ian, that play music.. so girls flock to us. I wish.

So yeah, thats me, thats my band, talk to you later.
