“I am kinda sick of my posters falling down in the middle of the night…”

So its about time I updated…

Thursday night Kay and I met up with 1985 and Dara for the Nada Surf and Ozma concert at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. It was an amazing concert and we all enjoyed it very much. It had been a dream of 1985 and I’s for us to see Nada Surf and to yell “PLAY MOTHER’S DAY PLAY MOTHER’S DAY!” Because that song has such a profound meaning to us. We’ve wanted nothing more then to hear them play it live. So naturally as I was watching them I yelled in my loud, booming, obnoxious way, “MOTHER’S DAY!” at various points of the show. After a few times other’s started joining me in the MOTHER’S DAY chants. The entire concert went by and we were into the encore and “MOTHER’S DAY” was yelled yet again to which the lead singer replyed, “I am sorry we’re not playing that tonight”. I wanted to jump up on stage and say, “I’VE WAITED YEARS FOR YOU TO PLAY MOTHER’S DAY NOW PLAY IT!” but I didn’t. But all in all it was an amazing concert and I am glad I went. We all enjoyed ourselves very much and had a great evening…

So there was this couple at the concert. Sometimes when I am at a concert I see a couple and I’m like, “Aww I wish I was them” but 98% of the time I see a couple at a concert and I’m like “Someone should really skin them alive”. Well there was this couple at the Nada Surf concert and their story is an interesting one. The girl was a tall girl with long blonde hair. She was wearing white capri pants and a white tank top. She had this look that said, “When I was in high school I was a cheerleader and I fucked the entire football team”. Her boyfriend looked like he belonged in Home Depot. He was wearing jeans and a plain peach colored t-shirt. They were positioned right at the front of the stage and we were all about 10 feet away from them . They stuck out like a sore thumb they didn’t look as if they “belonged” at all. But whatever. So during the concert the girl is gyrating and dancing and singing to the songs like shes at a rave. The boyfriend is standing by her eminating this “THIS IS MY GIRLFRIEND NOT YOURS” aura. While the concert is going on they’re drinking heavily. Proceeding to get drunker and drunker as the night is going on. The boyfriend is slopping around falling all over the emo and punk kids. Those poor kids had looks of, “Please someone deny this man the ability to reproduce”, all over their faces. Anyway they’re really drunk and the girl is being super annoying and drunk and screaming, “I LOVE YOU!” to the singer of Nada Surf. She definatly was the only one doing that. The concert goes on and near the end of the show Nada Surf decides to play this somber emotional slow song. It was a very powerful and gripping moment in the show. Everyone was quiet you could hear a pin drop. It reminded me of the times when Radiohead plays Exit Music for a Film at their shows. Everyone is just quiet. Silent. Listening. Being moved by the moment. About 25 seconds into the song maybe 40 the girl starts belting out the words to the song REALLLY loud. The only one might I add, SINGING LOUDLY! During this somber, emotional, powerful moment. I had thought to myself “Just shut the fuck up allready”. Apparently I said it outloud and not to myself. The couple heard me. The girl screamed a big “FUCK YOU” and the boyfriend with his drunken muscles said he was going to “Kick my ass and make me eat grass” or something wonderfully intellegent that only alcohol could bring about. Luckily I was transfixed on the singer at the time so I didn’t make direct eye contact with them so that was good. But I could see out of the corner of my eye the boyfriend looking back at me. I did accomplish my goal, the girl stopped singing. Instead the couple decided to just make out in porno like fashion. They ended up leaving early. I could tell that I broke her spirit. This was probabily this girl’s favorite band in the universe and I made her want to cry in her happiest moment of her life. HAHAHA. Or maybe not. But obviously she couldn’t stay anymore. After they left you could tell everyone in our area was releaved. One kid even leaned over to 1985 and said, “Man that guy was an asshole.” Yes he was my friend, yes he was…

And No Turbo they didn’t play Popular!

After leaving the show we were waiting outside the Bowery for a second to all gather our thoughts. A kid came up to me and said, “Hey man I really wanted to hear Mother’s Day too. I love that song.” we bull shitted about the song for a bit and then we left. Dara said, “He came up to you like you were some sort of rock star or something.” Dara thats because I am a rock star. I am SeanPiotrowski the greatest internet entertainer that has ever lived…

The moral of this whole story is the following…”If you’re going to go to a concert where you don’t “belong” do not get drunk. Because if you do you will make a fool out of yourself and I, SeanRobertPiotrowski, will break your spirit and make you go home and cry in your room”…

Till next time…”Cause you were my leading lady and I really wanted to say that you had some fly moves baby…”

“…its always darker in my eyes…”

What a fucking day. I wake up at 8 something AM to get ready for work at 9 AM. Frank comes home from class early and says that there is no power at Rider University. I call my boss he tells me not to come in now because there is no power and to call back later. At about this time I come to find out my computer is making a horribly loud grinding sound. After much diagnosis I came to the conclusion that it was my video card. Turns out my fan on my video card was dying and wasn’t doing its cooling job anymore. Thus I fried my ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon. Add purchasing a video card to my list of things to do today. Call the boss back he tells me the state police have Rider on lock down. No one can enter or exit the university and to not worry about coming in to work today. At this point my computer is running on its on board display at 640 X 480 display and 16 bit color. It looks like ass and every box is freaking huge. Turns out that Route 206, Olden Ave., I-295, and Route 1 were all in pandemonium or closed. Why were all these things happening? Apparently we were hit with a Tornado. Long story short they cancelled class for the day. We and the rest of the 404 boys venture out to go shopping. Things for Sean to buy: The Underoath CD, ATI Radeon 7500, and Lunch. I got Wendy’s. Lunch accomplished. Went to FYE for Underoath. Strike one. Went to Best Buy for Underoath. Strike two. Went to CompUSA for the Radeon. It was sacked by the tornado and they’re closed. Strike three. Went to Compact Disc world for Underoath. Strike four. I was definatly out of luck for the day. We went back home and I began to cook my famous pot roast dinner with mashed potatoes. At least that turned out ok today…

So I downloaded the drivers for my onboard display and things are better. Back in 1024X768 and 24 bit color. So things look normal but I still need the Radeon…and the Underoath cd…

Today I looked at my fridge here in my room and realized its filled to the brim with liquor. Tangueray, Johnnie Walker, Jack Daniels, 12 bottles of Miller Lite, 4 Cans of Boddington’s, a bottle of BBQ Ranch Salad dressing, and a bag of Nestle’s candy. What on earth am I doing? I have no idea…

I watched Blood for Dracula last night. It was funny but nothing to write home about. Lots of boobs which is always fun. Plus it had sisters who were lesbians, which was kinda hot but weird at the same time. Am I a freak for saying this out loud? I thought it would be more original but it wasn’t 2 out of 5 stars. Next on my list Christopher Nolan’s Following…

I showed Kay Hell House. As I figured she loved it. I still highly suggest you see this film…

True story: Yesterday I was at Shop Rite buying bread and butter for dinner. I needed the bread so John could have a sandwhich and I needed the butter so I could make mashed potatoes. I am standing on the Self Check out line waiting to check myself out when out of the corner of my eye I see that Tim King is standing next to me. I loathe this kid. I hate this kid. He’s the worst thing to ever come out of Toms River. At this point I position myself so that he realizes that I have not yet made eye contact with him and have not acknowledged his presence. As I wait for about 15 minutes I can feel his eyes watching me waiting for me to say something to him. But I don’t. I keep positioning myself and moving myself around as to not notice him. He keeps watching me and I keep moving. He’s standing no lie 20 inches away from me yet I am not “noticing” him at all. Finally I get to check out. I assume my position at the check out counter scan my two items pay and I’m out. All before Tim and not having to deal with the usual bullshit that goes along with seeing another insignificant person from High school that you wish would just drop dead…

Angry and tragic music is fun…

Till next time…“This girl is only gonna break your heart”

“Live, Love, Burn, Die. Even in Japan they love Atreyu…”

I apologize for the lack of updates this week. As you know its hard sometimes juggling everything I do. Its been a week of unexpected things. Things that were unexpectided that were good and some things that were unexpected and were bad. I’d rather not divulge the good or the bad to you for I am sure you really are not interested…or maybe you are.

I saw two movies this week: Adaptation and Igby Goes Down. Adaptation I didn’t like very much. Kay did but I didn’t. I just felt it didn’t go anywhere and wasn’t as good as Being John Malkovich. Igby Goes Down falls into that tragic character black comedy genre kinda like The Royal Tenebaums except not as funny. I really liked it…

I signed up for NetFlix so I don’t have to buy DVDs that I want to see that Blockbuster doesn’t have. So expect to hear about weird movies you’ve probabily never heard of for the next couple of months or until the novelty wears off…

Things that I’ve learned this week: Scotch on the rocks is horrible, Tangerey is amazing, McGriddles are pancake sandwhiches, using your cell phone outside in a hurricane will mess up your phone, and good things come to those who wait…

I still want to write my movie. I know I’ve been saying this for a long time but I know one day it will just come to me and it’ll be done…

Quick note: I’d like to welcome Greg Coleman back to www.SeanPiotrowski.net…

Till next time…”The sun still sleeps…”

“Freakshow and Turbo two bad mothers…”

Hello one and All…Today I give you an interview I have been trying to bring to you for quite sometime. Today I got a chance to sit down with Mr. Dave “Turbo” Ullman and get his side of things. This interview was inspired by Nelson. I hope you enjoy…

Dave please introduce yourself
hello, my name is dave ullman. i am a junior engineering major at tcnj. i enjoy cars and music and other things as well. my band is good and you should like us.

Dave you go by the nickname Turbo. How did this come to be and what are your thoughts on the name?
i believe it came to be at outback steakhouse in brick, nj. you, casey, craig and i were eating and laughing of times past when nicknames came up. your nickname is freakshow, craigs is skanko and papi, and casey’s is something. i wanted a nickname so since i have an unnatural affection for turbos it was decided that would be my nickname, even though its not that good and people make fun of me when i tell them. and then craig scratched it into the table with a giant outback steak knife. i like the name, but lets just say i only let you and craig call me turbo.

Would you ever get the word Turbo Tatooed anywhere on your body and if so where?
no, but probably on my balls, because then it would be a ball-bearing turbo. HAHAHA. sorry, turbo joke. but seriously, on my balls. yeah, the balls.

Turbo its my understanding that you enjoy metal. Why is this and do you love Metal Chicks?
hmmm… why is it i love metal. because it is evil and taboo and people hate it. because it involves stories like bands having a contest of who could be more evil and then burning down churches, eating suicide victims brains and shooting homosexuals at the winter olympics. i have to thank justin freund for introducing me to black metal about 4 years ago. emperor was the first band i ever heard, and my tastes evolved and now i like all things metal except for that crap that most people call “nu-metal”, or “bad” as i like to call it. do i love metal chicks… who doesn’t?

Dave define your definition of a “fuckin’ fun time”.
that would be giant, inflatable water slides in the middle of the bay for no apparent reason. why are they there? i’ll tell you why. fuckin fun times.

If you will tell me your fondest Sean Piotrowski memory.
hmm… i think my fondest memory is when we went to stewarts and drank the super cold root beer. it was the same night we saw dave attell at rider, also a good time. also when i punched you in the back when you were drunk and throwing grass at me. that was pretty funny.
I don’t think I’ve ever had root beer so cold in my entire life as that night Turbo.

If you could destroy anything what would it be?
thats a tough one. i would probly destroy all of the little skateboarders who are like 4 and professionals. because i failed at skateboarding and i’m still bitter that there are 12 year olds better than me. i might destroy organized religion, but i won’t get into that.

If Dimmu Borgir asked you to destroy God for them would you?
hahahaha, no. because you can’t destroy something that doesn’t exist. ooohhhhhh, come on who wants to fight me. now that this has turned into dave’s religious beliefs forum.

Dave describe your perfect girl.
likes good music, volkswagens, or atleast cars, maybe throw a little snowboarding or something in there, owns a couple volcom shirts. that about covers it.
Titties?
i’m more of a butt-man, but i’ll give it a thumbs up

Dave if you could be one thing what would it be?
a race car driver slash/metal guitar player. which is two things but i don’t care because if i could them at the same time it would even better. “ullman pulls onto the front straight and blasts out an amazing solo.” delicious.
A Super race car driver?
i said slash and typed a slash, haha. a super duper race car driver.

if you could have your pen sucked on by any 4 girls who would it be?
good wording. hillary duff (mmm… jailbait), jennifer esposito, britney spears (sorry sean), and any girl at the freehold mall. no jaime presley.

Dave Turbo Ullman I’d like to thank you for your time and enligtenment. Is there anything you’d like to say in closing to everyone?
i would just like to thank you for interviewing me, i hope i was amusing. i would also like to complement your website for the many hours of joy i get from reading about and commenting on your life. PEACE, LOVE, and CARGOES.

Thank you Turbo for your kind words and we look foward to hearing about your exploits soon. You can catch “The Turbo and Freakshow Show” Live September 27th in Fairfax, VA. Unfortunatly, there are only two tickets available to this show and they’re sold out…

In other news today I dropped a $2,000 Dell Computer from about 10 feet in the air onto asphault. It got all scuffed up and then I heard pieces rolling around inside. Ross and I hooked it up anyway and it worked fine. But yet again I’ve committed another O.I.T. first to go along with me blowing out a whole wing of power in Poyda and having to work on the computer from 1982. The job never ceases to amaze me in good and bad ways…

Well everyone thats all for today…

Till next time…”The way you like it I’ll get inside you…”

“Kay living out the fantasy that I’m sure many of you have had once or twice…or maybe everyday.”
So Lost in Translation finally came out. As I expected, I loved it. I am offically declaring it the best film of 2003. Bill Murray was amazing. Scarlett Johansson was amazing. Right now shes the front runner of being my replacement celebrity crush. If only she had posters and calanders…

“They’re Dimmu-Riffic!”

So I’ve been thinking about music a lot again lately. Lately I’ve been listening to the new Dimmu Borgir CD, Death Cult Armageddon. Its my first black metal cd. To which I owe Turbo a great deal of thanks for he surprised me with it one day as a gift. I must say its pretty epic and I enjoy it. I’ve also been listening to a lot of The Damned lately too. Also as always I bust out the Balzac and the Atreyu. I know my housemates must think I am insane, being that there is what one would classify as “angry” music coming from my room at all times. I must say this about the angry music. This summer I was having stress issues. It sucked and I hated it. After a while I started listening to the Atreyu CD everyday on my way home from work. I noticed that by the time I got home I would be a lot calmer and more relaxed when I stepped out onto my driveway. I guess all the shouting and screaming along while driving home in my Aviator Sunglasses paid off and did me better then I ever thought…

Check out the new Elvis Remix, Rubberneckin’. Its freaking great…

A Quizno’s Sub would be good right about now…

Till next time…”Stop Look and Listen Baby thats my Philosophy…”
