I gave over a thousand hugs this weekend.
No doubt about it!

I went to Bamboozle Left in Orange County!

I did a signing at the Peta2 booth with a line that seemed to never end!

(ran out of the 200 photo's I had to sign of me!)




I loved it so much, meeting all these amazing people and giving so much love and hugs to everyone!

It all started with a car ride with my favorite music = aka Christmas music! haha

Zach had a cd in his car with it on it, and when I asked him if we could play it, he said sure =D


It turned out to be a fun day




NEW FOUND GLORY:




PARAMORE:


JIMMY EAT WORLD on the ride:


In the back of JIMMY EAT WORLD (cause we had to go on the ride):
I woke up the next day not feeling well (it went away though)


Okay now for the signing!!!



and then I put the camera in the hands of Zach:




and OMG LOOK AT THIS LINE!!!:







THE LINE STAYED LONG! YEAYA!!!



AN HOUR INTO IT:

I said "what is up" if you didn't understand =]


HOUR AND A HALF INTO IT FORBIDDEN (CHRISTINE DOLCE) STOPPED BY:

TWO HOURS INTO THE SIGNING:



TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER:


and then I had to wrap things up a little after that, but it was so amazing meeting all those people, and it was so worth the hand cramp and sharpie after sharpie after sharpie dying..lol

everyone was so nice to me, it really warmed my heart!!!

then we all went to see Blaqk Audio




During My Chemical Romance, we went on the ride again. lol


Then I rolled down the huge grass hill (which you can't see, but it's the thought that counts):

oh and btw, most of sunday we we're chillin with Summer and Alejandro.

and before they left, they got us strawberry banana smoothies to share


omg they were so orgasmic.

I loved hanging out with them though =]! and if I was three years younger, and he stayed the same age, I would date Alejandro. lol

such a cute kid.

but yea, that's my Bamboozle Left journey!!!

wait till you see what happens in Bamboozle NJ! woot woot

oh and I'll be at Taste Of Chaos Long Beach at the Peta2 booth if you want to stop by =]

Love you all!!!

Thanks for making me smile over and over again, and for all the wonderful hugs.

Oh my fucking Gay God! Alejandro?! I talk to a kid on Stickam named Alejandro who lives in Moorpark, California. He went to Bamboozle! AND he's about 3 years younger than you! I NEED to know if that was him! I guess I should ask him, but I haven't so if you read this can you PLEASE tell me if this is him? Please? His Myspace id is 200196593. And his Stickam url is omfgz_its_alejandro . Haha, if it is him... you can't have him no matter what age he is. He likes a boy he talks to on Stickam... and that boy hates you. lol. I'm sorry! I can't make out if it's him in that picture you posted, but here's a photo of him: Hosted by Stickam.com

ABOUT ME:

Congratulations, you're hired!

Oh no, not by me... by yourself!

So now, what is this? Oh great, another site Matthew Lush is on. Is that what you see? Do you not see the big picture? Why can't you see what I see? Oh wait! Maybe it's because you're not me. But you know what? You still have the opportunity to do something with your life with what I've been trying to show you.

Now is the time to really take control of your life and not let others make decisions for you. Only you can fulfill your own destiny.

Do you look down upon me because I'm not perfect? If you're looking for anything near perfect, you're looking in the wrong place. Stop looking for for perfection; it doesn't exist.

We have a tendency to look down on things that don't fit in our ideal world. But this shouldn't be an automatic reaction. Even those things that don't fit your idea of perfection should be cherished at least as potential... the potential to change... the potential to open up to new things and explore life's many horizons.

When I came out of the closet I had no one to turn to. Not even one close friend. Do you know what it's like to have no friends? I was never the popular one in high school. I struggled through years and years of pain, loneliness and heartbreak.

Eventually I turned to  the internet, my hideout from the real world. There I found an opportunity to do something with my life. The internet became my tool for change. My poor aching heart found its passion.

So ask yourself: What empowers you to succeed, and why haven't you done anything about it yet? Here's another tool to do the same thing I'm doing, only the way you want to do it. Think about the endless possibilities you have, and use this space to start writing the story of your life.

My book is far from being published. It won't be a book you can see or touch. Rather it will be something that you can "feel" within you. It will be for those looking for guidance... guidance that one day I shall bring. As I grow, I hope you'll grow with me.

And finally, be positive. As my mother taught me... "Think before you speak!" If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything. Your negativity will not only affect others, it will affect you as well. So be good to yourself.

"They say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." -Andy Warhol

Thanks for the add cutie!!!!! I was going to post this on myspace but my entire ONE SINGLE message said I flooded the box ALL DAY long! So I'll post it here. This is too cool! For those of you that DON'T already know about Social Vibe (WHAZZA MATTA WIZZ YOU?) or HOPEFULLY are signed up just don't receive the newsletter read this....

Hey Matt.
I met you at Bamboozle. I even got a pic that you signed, which was really cool.

i'm also looking for that restaurant that's vegan that's in your picture. what's the name of it?
Jul 02, 2008 7:15 PM
Oh Matthew!
I'm so sorry. u_______u

Your birthday was yesterday, and I did not congratulate you. Forgive me, I had no Internet conection yesterday. :'(

I hope you like my gift. Is not the biggest thing ever, is just a postcard. If you don't get it today it's because of the mail. :/

Have a very special day!
I l♥ve you, and you'll be my hero forever.

xoxo
