Surprises

The story

So it all started when I was 23, eh. I think I had my first panic attack lying in bed in my one bedroom apt. I was working at a music store setting up PRS's for douche bags and let me tell you life was kickass. SIKE. So, anyways I had a band. I called my friend chad and said do you wanna sign us? He was like, "your music sucks, but the kids like your hair, so I guess." So zach, phil, tyson, jeremy and myself signed a record deal, recorded a few records, toured the country a few trillion times, blah, blah.
