      Hey, everyone. WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! See Holly and I had a discussion today on what the band name should be from the ones we had on the list. We almost had it down to one we liked, but we couldn't decide. This is where you come in. At the bottom of this page is the same poll we had before, only the choices have been limited down to a few that we want you to vote on so that we can decide the band name we want. So, PLEASE VOTE FOR ONE!!! Thank you.
      You might have wondered what the original poll ended up looking like. Well, here are the results:
What do you think the new band name should be?
Medio Core 3 (15%)
Catharsis 0 (0%)
Punk Rock Posers 4 (20%)
A Million Laughs 0 (0%)
Different Situations 0 (0%)
The 7 (35%)
Take That 1 (5%)
Chunky Monkey 1 (5%)
Stalkers and Jaywalkers 3 (15%)
Flawless Failure 1 (5%)
20 Total votes
We really wanted to be called "Catharsis," but there's like a million bands by that name already. I guess I should have checked that first because there's a band called "Take That" as well. I really liked "A Million Laughs" and didn't mind "Punk Rock Posers," but Holly eliminated them so there you have it. If there's a name on the list before that you liked, but it's not there now, then just send a nasty email or something to me to voice your vote. I'm willing to listening to anything that will help Holly and I pick a band name faster.
      Finally, a few changes have been made. I added a bunch of A.F.I. Sing the Sorrow banners to the site. Go buy it March 11. Second, I made some color changes and added the main picture to snazz things up to the Messageboard. Plus, if you hit the "Go back" link on the messageboard now, you can get back to the main page. And finally, I'm working on getting the background sounds on the lyrics pages so that they all have a different one. So keep an eye out for those things.
      So I think that covers it for now. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!!! Al says you should vote for him, but he's not on the list or running for President again so forget that.

      Hey, just something quick here. Holly sent me lyrics to a new song called "Second Best." You can check out the lyrics for that in the lyrics section.
      Other than that, just check out the news below. I've been in a very productive songwriting mood lately. I might put more song lyrics up myself sometime. I don't know, but you will if I do. So that's it. Until next time...

      Nokay, here I am. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, a good vacation, and a very happy holidays. I have a real quick update for you so I'm going to get right down to business.
      Recently, our friend Dick Jizzum, the host of the talk show Talk Wild, conducted an interview with Holly and I. You can check those out on the messageboard under the thread "BAND INTERVIEWS!!!"
      Remember a while back that I told you that I had a story about me winning a contest to a Rufio show and that it went tragically wrong? Well, I finally "got over it" enough to write the story down. Check it out if you like. It's on the messageboard under the thread "The Old Man's Story Thread."
      And on a final note, I added some ugly ass pictures of me to the Pictures page since I was home. I also added a new one of Holly that she sent me. And quite frankly, that picture gives me a boner everytime I see it. Check it out!
      I think that covers it for this time. I'm in a hurry so if you have any questions, just get ahold of me and ask. I hope everyone enjoyed the "Hollydays." Ha! I love that kid. So, that's it. I'm done. Enjoy for now.

P.S.
You might have heard that our buddy Al Gore is not running for President in 2004. We were a little disappointed, but he assured us that he was doing it for the good of the band. He said, "I'm not running for President, friendidily endilies, because I want to be there when the band gets going again to do the dances and stuff. So, punkley dunkley, neighbors!"
