Hey, It's abir! Okay, so I had this idea. We leave for tour Friday, and we won't be home too much this year, with our record coming out and all, gotta be on tour promoting it!! So I decided to fill you in on what a day of mine is like when I'm home :). I'm gonna do some more of these "photojournals" on tour too.
Forgive me for making this long, i like details haha.


Waking up and hiding underneath the covers :)


My trusty Batman alarm clock :)


OH NO! I'm late!
Haha jk.


Sleepy Abir.


Time to brush my teeth haha, oh my bathroom counter is so messy eek. Come clean it for me?


This is my nametag on my door. It has no relevance to my day haha, just thought id share it with you :)


Ah, no day starts without a bowl of CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH and lots of work on my little laptop.


Yummmmm


Ok, I have a bottomless pit of a stomach, so I made some post breakfast pancakes haha
*cinnamon pancakes.


Shower time...and no shower is complete without picking something really good to set the tone for the rest of the day...


So i picked The Format b-sides album. Yeahh...my iPod is burnt. Vanfires will do that to an iPod :(


Post shower, i decided whether or not i should shave...


I decided to do that with my hair instead...


Ah, now to pick an outfit.
hmhmhm. So many choices.


Ah, now I'm all dressed...


Now which cologne should I pick...hm..
(i went with hugo boss)


Ah, its not Ferrari, but its good to the evironment...and to my wallet.


I suck at taking pictures, esp when I'm driving, but I swear the Hudson Valley is one of the most beautiful place. I love living here.


OH NO! My gas light turned on! Im on empty, aah!


Gas is ridiculous. how is a boy supposed to get around?


So I get to Chris' for practice, and then a certain Jessica texts me and says "Yo can a sista cop a ride." -_-.


That's right, you better run Jess! Or we're leavin without youu haha


And wipe that grin off your face haha


When Jess is in a rush she forgets to put on deodorant, luckily she always brings it with her! Whew.. haha


All my friends are starting to get apartments...I live in a white van.


Chris' dad hard at work in our trailer. We'd be lost without him.


At chris' Jimmi was being way too cool, as usualll


Lord only knows what Chris is doing..


Spanky!!


Hunger strikes again! Too bad Chris' fridge is the most empty fridge I've ever seen.


Jess on the space...


Justin on the space....


Jessica says 'COME TO THE TMO CD RELEASE SHOW IN NEWBURGH ON JAN 26th. IT'LL BE A BLAST!"


This is the place our Cd release show's happening. They have really good cornbread. Make sure u bring some money!


We hung out in chris' living room for awhile


And Rob dragged Jess all along the floor haha.


Sometimes I play drums...and i look really fierce haha


This is where TMO practices


TMO is also gonna be the Goot back up band on January 27th for our Williamstown, NJ Cd Release show


Never let singer's touch your camera, they take pointless myspace pictures of themselves haha


Jessica sitting on a dryer.....


For every time that Jess smiles, this is the face I make :)


Its cold in Chris' basement....


The coolest kid not in school...Jimmi Kane




TMO acoustic style...


Jess singing her little heart out.


I proceeded to sign a TON of cd booklets. Left my hand in so much pain haha...but hey, if you pre-order an album from Smartpunk.com , you get an autographed booklet from us!


TMO Justin says "I bring the rock."


AH! Finally practice is done, and I'm home eating dinner!!!!


Only one day left to hang out with my little sister! Gah, I'm gonna miss her. (interesting fact, her name is my name spelled backwards..yeah nifty huh?)


This TV is my baby. And of course, I'm watching Seinfeld.

And so that's my day...
After I watched Seinfeld with my little sister we played some games online and then she had to go to bed.

Then Justin had his radio interview with Dj Rosstar!!
I hope you all liked our new song, "Unseen Direction"!!

Well it's getting late, I'm gonna go eat some more cinnamon toast crunch. Hope my day didn't bore you too much!

Love- Abir TMO

That last entry was from me! Jess!! teehee

I'm bummed. so bummed. I just dyed my hair. I waited for the dye to sit in my hair. My hair soaked up the "color". The suspense was killing my insides (and scalp!! it was burning!!) ! and when I got to rinse it and dry it, there was the same old boring hair i had an hour before!! what the heck!! 6 bucks wasted.. I could've gotten a nice fried rice and chicken and brocoli with that! wait. How do you spell brocoli? is that right? eh whatever. I'm grumpy.

I saw JUNO today. My heart! it beats! it beats! for Michael Cera <33 haaave merrrcy. I can't get enough. and Ellen Page, she's so awesome. It was really a good movie. There should be more movies like that one. I've always wanted to be in a movie (but really who hasn't?). I pictured myself playing a role like hers. Being 16 and pregnant and not to mention so damn fly. I would fail miserably at that. Love scenes make me blush when I watch them! I could never do it for the big screen!! haha Gahh, I'm such a 5 year old. Oh well. So be it. Because someday Me and michael will run away together and have our own private love scene. I can see it now...

 

Michael's truly, Jess <3

 

Day 2 of 2008

Its so freakin' cold outside!! I busted my rear a couple of times too. Not cool. Okay so, so far nothing great has happened to me yet. The only thing I know that is great is OUR ALBUMCOMING OUT JANUARY 29TH!! THAT'S REALLY SOOOON!! haha I'm so so so excited! You should be to, ya know! haha. So today I decided I want to dye my hair. I don't know why but sometimes I was up one day and get the urge to want to change something. Like change my room around or hair color or boyfriends....hahahaha just kidding. He's sitting right next to me =) ..but yeah. I haven't changed the color yet because I'm unsure of what color I want. I'll wake up tomorrow morning and know the answer to that.

anywayssss..I'm excited to start touring again. I'm excited for adventures and junk food. I can taste it already mmmM yum. I can taste how delicious this year is going to be!! I can smell it. My mouth is watering :D

Ratatouille-ly yours,

Jess

I could use some smoke right now, to aid in this getaway
This new year's twilight is making it hard to hide
Young and restless lover's bathing in the moonlight
With more regard for the heaven's than this celestial body unknowingly attached to this playground of a planet
But that seems so far away
I swear she came to me in my dreams last night. Can angels rewind time?
To a period before they've fallen.
The sun was warm where she took me, in the middle of January.
As we laid upon the sand, with our love laid bare for all to see in this paradise land
But morning scared her off. Now i turn to my tears for company.
There are photographs and friends I've made, who keep me going.
But who will believe that my once great love, knew my window was unlocked for her each night
And she floated in from above, and took me to where I wish I could stay in ignorance and bliss
Its been 3 months, has the fire left your heart? Your eyes look empty now. I'm shaken and confused.
I ran short on courage sometime ago
And this hunger rages on inside me
As I paint this city I call home in love and regret
And she's nowhere to be found
A hypocrite's masquerade
With her and a stranger in the arms that belong around me center stage
While I engage in this lover's tryst between the broken and confused
I colored myself distracted for the moment but this thing called love
This thing called love is a killer
I won't let it take me.
This thing called love is a killer
I won't let it take me
This thing called love is a killer
I won't let it take me
This thing called love is a killer.
help.


I woke up this morning, reallly early. And some things kinda hit me hard, that i was able to ignore over the holiday season.
So i just figured I'd spill my thoughts.

Hope you all had a wonderful new year! I'm really excited for all the things that are coming, like our album!!! Haha, and posting new songs for everyone to hear!

How were all your holidays?


Love always, Abir TMO
