Today was great :D

First I woke up and Jon Schneck replied to another one of my e-mails. Haha he's awesome.

So then I did school and practiced piano and stuff and went to piano lessons you know the usual stuff. Then I came home and me, me brother, and his girlfriend went shopping (Of course I wanted to get something for RK and their new Christmas album)

So we went to the places they wanted to go first and then we went to Wilsons to see if anything awesome caught my eye to get Relient K (Remember, I only have 15 dollars haha)...but it was all pretty much worthless crap. So we finally went to wal-mart and I looked and I couldn't find Relient K's Christmas album anywhere! I looked where all the Relient K stuff was and there was only one CD there and it was five score. Then after I almost had a heart attack because I couldn't find it Kylie found it in the awkwardest place...but they were all there so I guess that's where they were supposed to be. idk it was just weird.

So then I went to get some stuff for Relient K and I got a few things then I decided to go look in the Christmas section to see if there was anything cool there and I saw this cute ice skating penguin! and I thought it was the cutest thing...and it made me think of Relient K haha. Then I found like 2 more penguins on the shelf and I freaked out!! Then I looked down on the shelf below it and there was this giant penguin with a scarf and a hat...haha. Then I went on the other side and there were MORE penguins!!!!!!!!!!! haha It was awesome.

Yay!!! Too bad I only had 15 dollars or I would have gotten them haha. Oh well. I still think they're gonna love what I got (I hope so lol)...even though it's lame and cheap. It's the thought that counts :D Because I really wanted to get something not lame and not cheap. I really did. I hope they like what I got though. haha

Oh and you should definitely get Relient K's Christmas album. It's great. 2 songs made me laugh hysterically. All of the songs are AMAZING!!!!!!!

My Search For Something Awesome

As you should already know by now, I'm seeing Relient K on November 3rd in Greenville, SC.
My dream is to get the RK crew something insanely awesome that will make them smile from ear to ear. I want to get them the coolest gift that anyone has ever given them. Something that just the sight of it makes involuntary ooohs and ahhs proceed out of the mouths of the spectators. Something cooler than cool. Something amazingly awesome. Something that is so awesome that if it were any awesomer it would explode into a million pieces and transform into a massive cherry cheese cake or something ridiculous like that. I think you get the idea.

That is what I would like to get Relient K. But the reality is, I have $15. That's it. So, tomorrow I am going to wal-mart in search of the coolest thing that 15 dollars can buy. I know. That's lame. But it's really the thought that counts :D So when I present my lame, cheap gift to the RK boys...I'm hoping they will know that in my heart I wanted to get them something not lame and not cheap, but something fantastic and amazing. My quest begins tomorrow. My quest for the most fantastic and amazing thing that is within my low budet.

:)

I'm Excited.

In 12 days I will be having the best night of my life.
Why? Because my 2 favorite bands, Relient K and Switchfoot, will be playing a show together in my hometown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to do everything I can to meet them because I want to meet them and I want to know if Jon or Matt will possibly sort of know who I am maybe because of blog comments/messages.
That would be really cool...but I highly doubt it lol
I also have some things to give them. Nothing special, just stuff I could afford on my very low budget :)
OMG IM SO EXCITED I CANT CANT STAND IT!!!!!!
Ruth is pretty cool too...so that makes it even more awesome :)

Dave :(

Okay...I love Dave and I totally respect his decision...but this is really REALLY depressing. I'm like about to Cry. I'm not evening kidding.OMG!

After seven years of touring, recording, and rehearsing, Dave Douglas has decided to leave Relient K. His final show will be 12/29. As a part of Relient K, he has been an amazing drummer, singer, collaborator, and friend. Before Dave joined the band, we were plagued with drummer turnover. Although he was the fifth drummer in two years, the moment he joined was the first time we ever felt like a complete band. He will be missed on the stage and on the road, and we wish him all the best.

I know that there have been some rumors and speculation about my future in Relient K. I suppose I should clear that up. The time has, in fact, come for me to leave the band. This has been a very difficult decision, but I know that this is the right one. Relient K has been a huge part of my life and I'm sure that it is going to take a long time to get used to not being a part of the band any more. I've had a lot of good times, met a lot of great people, and been able to go a lot of places. it's been a blessing and a pleasure to work with Matt, Matt, John, and Jon. Also, I want to thank everyone else who has been involved with the band, especially those who have been on the road with us. Our fans are amazing and I want to thank all of you for your support and enthusiasm.

I am moving on to new music projects, and I hope that I will still have all of your support. Come the first of the year I will be devoting most of my time to Gypsy Parade . Feel free to look us up and say hi. Until then I will playing with Relient K, so I've got a few more shows left in me. I suppose that this is my "farewell tour." hopefully I, and the rest of Relient K, will see you at one of them.Thanks to all of you.
-Dave Douglas


I don't know what to say.
I know that I'm gonna start crying here in a minute.
Why must all this happen within less than a month...

Taking Back Sunday - Fred left

Eleventyseven - Nate left

Relient K - Dave left.

The world is like coming to an end (only not really but if feels like it)
I need to go and make Dave like 5 pages in my book instead of 1.

When Alexis posted that on myspace....I think my heart skipped a beat. Seriously.

O M G!

erg

some depressing things happened this week...

Nate left eleventyseven

Fred Mascherino left taking back sunday

I dont think the world can take anymore sadness...

oh and amanda just said that juuichi nanatsu is not how you say eleven seven in japanese (it means seventy eleven). The person that told the guys that was wrong...so they have to fix that somehow because they made a japanese promotional video saying that like a million times. Fortunately they havnt finished editing it or anything so they can re-do it.

I'm too depressed to say anything else today...
