New Found Glory Blog and Journals

Will you be going to see them on tour  w/ Dashboard Confessional???

Me and the Epistaff hit up up the Troubador last night. New Found Glory is on Epitaph, and we are very very proud. My co-worker Felicia got a shout out from Chad, and I know it made her night. I was stoked for her. The show was awesome and they played everything great even though Jordan had had minimal practice time. Can't wait to see these guys play again.

FACT: I worked for Drive Thru Records when NFG was signed to them. Thats right.. these guys are following me!

Below is the setlist. I know you are DYING to know what kinda stuff they are playing! Also, dont forget to check the epitaphblog for some totally legit details and sick pics.

THE CHRISTMAS SONG

Sorry it's been awhile! I was having trouble focusing on writing this, part two is going to exactly the same, except Alex's POV. haha, during lunch, my friend and I kept up with this saying "God watches you  masturbate!" lol, it was funny, I can picture Jack saying something like that xD I love you guys! I really do! Not in a gay way, like you guys make me want to write, and keep writing, and I'm grateful for it =} Cause lately I've been very depressed, and you guys give a little bit of joy, just knowing people out there like my writing, it's an unbelieve feeling =] Thank you for everything you guys! I love you! I wrote 'LOVE' on my arm today, it felt like one of those days where I want to..well...instead of that, I wrote LOVE on my arm, and I'm going to keep it there, love can change life =} <3 I only slept for hour and an half last night, not tired...its weird

 And it feels like I'm at an all-time low
slightly bruised and broken
from our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case of feeling
bruised and broken
form our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case

Head On Collision - New Found Glory

Teenage Dirtbag

Chapter 10 Part 1

Alison's POV

"-and I remember that you said you never wanted to leave me," I lied, I couldn't remember the whole night, I just remember walking back to his place, barely making it to his room. For a minute I saw the old Alex, the happy one, not this depressed one. I still wasn't sure if I was pregnant or not, I wouldn't know still I go to the doctors, Kara was going to take me on Monday, which is in two days.

"You remember..." he whispered, "you were really drunk, how do you remember I said that?" he looked taken back, "Do you remember everything?"

I gulped, I hated lying to him, but something was telling me that I should, "Yes, I do, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner," I smiled, but he gave a concerned look. It must've not reached my eyes.

"Alison, you're lying," he huffed, fuck, "You were hammered that night, but I appreciate the effort to make me feel better," he turned and started walking away. I felt bad for lying to him. I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder, I looked over, it was Jack.

"He just needs time," he murmured, I nodded slowly.

"He's going through so much, he needs to talk to someone about it," I was concerned about Alex.

"Let's just hope he doesn't fuck someone eh?" he joked, leave it to Jack to ruin the moment. I glared at him, "Whoa! I was just joshing," he held up his hands. I smacked his arm playfully, "though, if he were to cheat, what would you do?" he asked, quietly.

"Um..." I thought about it, what would I do? I looked down, "I...don't know..." I whispered, Jack made me look up by his hand on my chin. This was getting weird now.

"What if I told you that I liked you?" he asked, I frowned, Jack like me? As a friend right?

"I like you too, Jack," I said, obviously I meant it as a friend, he was a brother to me. He frowned, but let it go. He backed away from me.

"So, miss Ally-poo, what would you like to do this very fine day?" he asked, he was back to his normal self again.

"Well, this day is far from fine, Jacky-poo," I loved our nicknames for each other, it was very Jack-like. I smiled at him, he could always make me smile, he was just that kind of guy.

"Considering that, that is over, I think it's a very fine day, weather wise," he added, "how we go to the back ally and have a little fun" he winked, I rolled my eyes.

"I think I'll go find Alex," I looked back to where I last saw Alex. I heard Jack huff, "What was that, Mr. Barakat? Are you jealous of your best friend?" I joked. He looked down, what was wrong with him? Did he like me more than a friend? Those questions swarmed my mind.

"Well, you're always worried about him, whenever we're doing something fun, you start talking about him..." he mumbled, "I know I'm being selfish but sometimes I wish you two weren't going out,"

I couldn't believe him! His best friend's brother killed himself, he was going through a hard time and all Jack can think about is how he didn't want Alex and I together? I glared at him, "Take it back," I gritted through my teeth.

"No, I'm not taking it back," he turned and walked back to the funeral home. He better not make me choose between him and Alex, I'd kill him. I pulled out my phone and called Alex.

"Hello?" some chick answered his phone. I snapped shut my phone, that was all I needed to know, I walked back to the building, scanning the room for Jack. He was easy to spot, with his skunk hair and all. I walked over to him, he was facing the over way, I tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around, I pulled him down to kiss him. I felt eyes watching us, but I didn't care.

"What a slut," I heard someone say, that didn't stop me from kissing Jack though. What did stop the kiss though was Kara, she pulled me away from him.

"What the fuck, Alison!?" she screeched, "Why...I thought..." she bit her lip, I gave her the obvious look, "Oh, Alex..." I nodded.

"I figured since he...that I..." I started crying, Kara embraced me, "I'm such a slut!" I sobbed.

"No, your not," Jack growled. Kara let me go, I faced Jack, "its not your fault that Alex cheated, I knew he would, I mean your week it up,"

"M-my week?" I asked, my week was up? What was that suppose to mean?

"Yeah, your week, Alex has this thing where he dates a girl for a week then dumps them," he stated, I couldn't believe it, it was the exact same thing Daniel told me.

"He fucks them than leaves them," I said to myself, Jack nodded in agreement. I shook my head, Alex wouldn't do this to me, "No! Your wrong!" I cried. I pushed my way out of the place, I couldn't breathe in there. Outside, I still couldn't breathe, it felt like someone ripped my heart out and stomped on it, I guess that's what Alex did. I fell to the ground, sobbing loudly. I heard my phone ring, I looked at it, it was Alex, that only made me cry harder. I answered it though, I tried not to sob.

"Alison, let me explain," he started. What was there to explain? I didn't respond, he continued, "I wasn't cheating on you, okay? I had my phone sitting on the table an-"

"Fuck you, Alex, don't give this bullshit about not cheating, Jack told me that I only had a week with you," I asserted, I was surprised how strong my voice sounded.

"Alison, please!" he begged, "I didn't cheat on you!" he insisted, I heard some female giggling in the background.

"Very convincing, Alexander, I hear the fucking chick giggling!" I bellowed. I heard him huff.

"I'm at a coffee shop," I didn't believe him, "Ailey," he used the nickname he gave me, "I would never cheat on you, I love you,"

"Yeah, well, tell someone who gives a fuck," I said sourly, I threw my phone at the tree that was close by, I saw it break in half. I stood up and started walking towards my house. There was a horrible feeling in the pit on my stomach, a part of me knew he wasn't lying, but another part was telling me he was. Love was so confusing, especially when said person is Alexander William Gaskarth.

"Alison, is that you?" my dad asked, "Alex phoned, said something like he's sorry and he hopes you'll believe him?" he said it like a question, he wanted to know what happened.

"Next time, tell him to go fuck himself," I said with distaste, my dad frowned, he hated it when I swore, but he started getting used to it now that I hung around the guys more.

"Did he cheat on you, Alison? Look, Al, you just have to look on the bright side of things, okay," I nodded at him, at least on his bright side of this, I wouldn't be swearing as much, "Don't let some stupid boy take you down," he jested. He knew I wouldn't be alright though.

Two Months Later - May

I sat staring blankly at my wall in my room, it was covered in pictures of Alex and I, we haven't spoken since that day. I guess you could say I shut down, I didn't find a need to live anymore. I heard a knock on my door.

"Al, I'm going to sent you back to Canada, with your mother," my dad said, he was frustrated with me, "this is insane, I hear you crying Alex's name every night," I looked up at him, he was worried and tired.

"I'm not leaving, Dad, I wa-"

"You're not getting back together, it's been two mouths. Hasn't he had a girlfriend too? I think he's over you, Al," he jabbered on. I zoned out again, I didn't want to hear Alex's name or anyone that's close to him.

"My point is," he raised his voice, "you need to move on," I looked at the window, I saw Alex in his room, he was playing his guitar, he looked happy.

"Dad, I'm not leaving, I'll go out with Kara tonight if you want," I suggested, I never noticed how lifeless my voice sounded. He nodded slowly, following my gaze to Alex.

"Honey, can you please just try?" he begged.

"I will, I promise, I'll go out with Jack if you want..." It didn't even sound like me anymore, where was I?

"Don't rush into a relationship," he warned, he turned to leave, he took one last look at me before he left, shutting my door.

"Everything's my fault...I'm so sick of when they say 'its just a phase, you'll be fine,' I know its lie...I'm not fine..." I whispered to myself, I got up, I realised how much weight I've lost, I rarely eat nowadays. I looked around my room, searching for it, the thing that'll make me feel better. I remember the last time I almost did this. I could see the text in my mind clearly.

Don't you dare cut yourself

This time Alex wasn't here to stop me, I wanted the pain to stop, I felt the cold steel press against my wrist. I heard yelling outside, I looked over at the window, Alex had his head out his window, shouting something. I gave him a confused look. I turned back to my wrist, if I a little pressed harder then it would break my skin. I didn't have a cell phone for Alex to text, but he was phoning someone, probably Lisa, his next toy for the week. I heard my father run up the stairs, luckily I locked my door.

"Alison! Open this door right now!" he banged. I glared at Alex, I didn't have much time to do this, I quickly swiped my wrist with the blade. I looked up at Alex, he looked mortified, I glanced at my wrist, blood was gushing out, I cut too deep, I was getting dizzy, light headed. I looked at Alex one more time before darkness took over my vision.

Sorry for leaving it like this =[ Alex's POV goes farther than Alison's, obviously. Don't worry, she doesn't die, if I killed who would I write about? Well I could write about Alex and how he deals with it, but booooring! She's still alive!

Comment please?

Visceral - So Far Apart
--------------Trolling the interweb on a Saturday night - pretty much as dorky-schmorky as you can get, right? I'm not complaining here, I've stumbled upon the likes of Dallas quintet Visceral. They've got a big-venue, Warped Tour stage quality about their thoughtful punky melodies that I must give a nod to. Though they're unsigned, Epitaph might wanna scoop these guys up to make them labelmates with the likes of New Found Glory and Sing Out Loud.

Visceral has a couple of shows coming up in the lone star state, but I'm keeping my guitar-shredded fingers crossed these guys will jump into a big van and make their way east. Get "So Far Apart" from their August release Rapture.

"HAYLEY HE LOOKS LIKE HE COULD BE YOUR DAD!"Yelled Josh

"What right do you have to say that?"I asked foldling my arms

"Because I once used to be your bestfriend,Wait a minute I used to be your boyfriend!"Yelled Josh

I walked away from Josh and Zac.I went to my bunk with things on mind.I took out my i-pod touch and starting listening to the songs on suffel and out of nowhere "My Heart"came out.I tear rolled down my cheek I remember that Josh wrote that song for me.Then and there I remembered the day Josh and I broke up.

/FLASHBACK/

I was walking around in the park with the one and only Joshua Farro.Josh looked at me.

"Can we talk?"Asked Josh

"Sure anything Joshie."I smiled

"Let's go sit on the bench."Sighed Josh

"Okay start talking my love."I said 

"I think that Jeremy is right for the sake of the band we should break up."Said Josh wiping away his tears.

I started sobbing and crying I didnt have the strength to look at Josh I just looked away.When I finally had the courage to look at Josh I saw him sobbing.

"Im really sorry."Said Josh wiping away my tears.

"Yeah your right it's for the best.Can I say one more thing?"I said

"Yes sure."Said Josh

"I love you and always will with all my heart."I said kissing Josh softly on the lips

"You will always hold a special place in my heart."Said Josh

<3  natasha

I wake up in a waiting room
With the taste of blood and a clouded view
I notice there is a tear in my jeans
the sleeves on my shirt have been ripped from their seams
My memory is a little bit blank
the thought of my name doesn't seem to come back
And I turn and scream "What am I here for?"
The nurses yell "You were left at the door"
I'm a stranger, someone left me for dead.
And I need to decide what to do next.

Oh just then I found a note in my pocket
It read "I don't ever want to see you again"
And I guess that explains
why I can't remember the rest of the night

I should have listened to my friends
I should have listened to them
when they told me you had bad intentions

I remember a string of events
from the dinner scene when I grabbed your hand.
I know that you went in for a kiss
And I told "that's not only what this is"
You held me at the end of my seat
and you had that look, the look of defeat
You wish you could start this over
instead you left me in a coma

Oh just then I found a note in my pocket
It read "I don't ever want to see you again"
And I guess that explains
why I can't remember the rest of the night
