moving on

I was in Hackensack, NJ on Saturday seeing some friends of mine play a show at this place called the School of Rock. Like 10 minutes before the show started, I was messing around on facebook and I kept on reading stuff people kept putting up like "RIP, we'll miss you." and such so I got curious. I got on the phone with a couple of friends that ironically I haven't talked to in a while, and I found out the worst: Dan Stefanilo, principal and superintendant of Uxbridge schools passed away due to a heart attack.

Really, I was crushed, saddened, and really just felt terrible. I stood around like a statue while music was being played. It's not like I was that close to the person, but he was a hard worker that really cared about the well-being of his students. His speeches at graduation, while cliche, were inspirational and unforgettable. I will miss not seeing him around town.

The Long Island venue, The Crazy Donkey, was pretty cool. I totally forgot all the other stuff I was going to type up so I'll just leave it at that. 3 more days of school this week and onto Hamden, CT on Friday.

Stoked.



Yes, I am a 7 year old living in a 20 year old's body. I am one of those nerds who will see this on opening night in IMAX, and making frequent trips to Toys R Us leading up to the 26th of June. Ravage looks badass.
