my dog riley

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 22:31:33 -0400

Since growing up, i’ve seen homeward bound and any other dog best friend movie i feel. For the longest time i’ve wanted my own “shadow.” Riley came into my life as an accident. I had been home from tour for a few weeks and my parents had decided to help out another foster dog family by taking Riley for the week. As soon as she came in i knew she was my dog. We spent most of the week together, riley had come from an abusive family who left her outside. Because of it she had fur falling out and suffered from impromptu seizures. She was timid when she met me, which she really had all reason to be due to her upbringing. I tried to be friendly and just “hang out” with her during the week. Eventually at the end of the week she would wait for me to come home before she went to bed and then sit outside my door until i said she could come in. She would then jump onto my bed and sleep next to me. This was especially cool for me because ever since being a little kid you always dream about a dog sleeping on the foot of your bed. The foster family came back home and Riley went back to live with them. I began to pitch to my parents that i thought it would be a good idea to adopt Riley, after all we already had Louis so whats one more dog? Eventually they agreed and we took on Riley as our own. After a few months her fur was back to a full shiny coat and with proper medication she no longer had seizures. I had to go back out onto the road but Riley never forgot about me when i came home. It didnt matter how long i was gone for, she was always happy to see me. Riley complimented our other dog Louis as well, they were quite a good team, she even helped calm him down with his fear of thunderstorms.

When it rains it pours. Louis got sick, real sick we had to take him into the vet, he had heart failure and eventually we had to put him down because of how bad he was doing. It was a terrible feat to my mom who had considered him “her dog.” I never really understood that till Riley got sick, her redblood cell count dropped ever so quickly and she couldnt come back from it. You almost look at them as your child or sibling, and here i am 2000 miles away. What i do know is that Riley was a fighter, when lou passed she took on guarding the house and made to make sure everyone knew she was home when there was a knock on the door.

I loved Riley as My dog because i knew that she didnt care what i did or who i worked for, she was just happy to see me when i came home and that was enough for her. Part of me thinks that she had been sick much longer then we knew but didnt show it till i came home and after i had left. I’m not sure if its true or not but i feel that she needed to see me one more time before she knew it was okay to be hurt. I’d also like to think that for those 9months we had her that they were the best months of her life. She was finally free with a big yard, healthy food, and more love then she knew what to do with. Typing this is hard because it forces me to acknowledge the fact that shes actually gone.

ill never forget you,

photos you want.

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:03:12 -0400

I was recently relaxing one evening looking through photos on my computer and came across the idea to try something new. I want to take photos for you, the ones you want to hang up on your walls. Now seeing as i am limited to the LA and surrounding areas it will have to be something that i can shoot around here ie: Hollywood Sign or The Santa Monica Pier. I am also going to be offering some different sizes, and different types of prints depending on what you want. I was at urban outfitters and saw this canvas wrap of NYC and was like while thats cool but I want something that everyone doesn’t have. Call it a conversation piece if you would. If you ceral about getting some prints ect then email me at DannyKphotos@gmail.com

Lets try something new.

They say LA is one of the brightest and best places to be. On one side of that I tend to agree, great weather, good food, and a melting pot of people and opportunities. On the other side its one of the loneliest and desolate places I know. Full of people that are to cool to acknowledge your existence let alone ask you to hang out on a weekday night. For just once I’d like to be the first one to be hit up to hang out instead of finding out through another person something is going down and that I can come if I want. I’m not in a band, I don’t have loads of money and I guess that makes me less valuable. The amount of worth I feel Is slim. The amount of emptiness I feel is vast. There is no space between just a giant gap. And I know this is bigger then me, and that there is a greater good to come of it, but often times I’d rather drink a bottle of wine to numb my emotions. No this isn’t a “oh my life is so hard” speach, I don’t want sympathy or apologies. I want a friend like I have back home. I want someone to answer my text messages at night and not be drunk or at “some insane party”. I want someone to know me well enough that I can stop explaining why I feel the way I do and they would just get it and understand. What is life without friends? Its lonely as hell. I’d like to think that I’ve been raised to be the opposite of what I just explained. Maybe that’s why when things like this go down I get so upset. Its 3am, and I’m not tired, I’ve laid in bed since 10. I ate dinner alone, watched tv alone and drank alone. Tomorrow is a new day though right, it’ll be different, it’ll be better, it has to. There’s no point in writing much more, the tank is empty and we are, I am, in the middle of the dessert, better start walking.

Since the new LA set isnt finished Its going to be various things, BND, fall tour, warped, europe, australia, japan. Hope you dig.

Sometimes when you work really hard you become really stressed out, since getting my bike i’ve found its so much easier to go for a long ride after a long day. I get to clear my head and taste the clouds when i’m driving along Mulholland. Today was bliss.

my week

Sat, 26 Jun 2010 23:30:40 -0400

What a fun week this has been, along with the normal work schedule and everything I got my new bike which is sweet. On thursday night i went down to the home depot center to meet up with warped tour. To this day i honestly believe that Warped Tour has been one of my favorite tours to ever be on. The babies in hey monday were kind enough to let me crash in their back lounge and then the next morning i began meeting up with all my friends on the tour. Warped tour is sweet in the sense that you get to see all your friends who are now scattered among other bands and other crews. You get to party everyday in the summer and hang out, get on your bus and do it all again day after day. Its like a family reunion except everyone doesn’t have matching shirts and your crazy aunt isnt there. I started my safety classes for motorcycle riding. While its not required in LA to go through a class i thought it’d be a good idea seeing how horrible LA drivers are, you’ll see me speeding around town soon. I’m in a really good place right now, minus not having a lot of friends but im working on that too and i’m happy with who i am and how life has worked out at the moment. Who knew that this long shot from Detroit could make a name for himself. I am living proof that you can become anything you want, forget the critics and the haters. You are special and you are loved. I love you and i believe in you.

its true.
