Putting "Starbusts" to Shame

Hello from...New York City!!!

I've ben told you can get everything here... Everything. I've learned that just might be true.
Anyone who knows me knows I'm a big fan of Gummy Bears always have been for some reason. Well I think I've always had a soft spot in my mouth and in my heart for almost every "chewy" candy out there... Chewy Sprees, Skittles, Gummy Bears, the list goes on and on. I've got a sweet tooth what can I say :-) I will say though ever since being in the studio to record my album, I've been addicted to salted Pumpkin Seeds. I guess since drugs aren't so much the thrill they used to be in the recording studio musicians are reverting to other ways to get there high, I've never tried drugs of any kind before (and to be honest don't ever plan on it) but I don't mind admitting I might be addicted to these pumpkin seeds. Getting to my point though about finding anything in New York, I've discovered the most glorious chewy candy on the entire planet, hands down.

Please Note:


STRAWBERRY....STRAWBERRY....
That is the flavor, I've tried maybe 10 different kinds and the Strawberry kick my ass. I love them. I don't know what the hell they are called I don't know how to pronounce a single word on the wrapper and I couldn't tell you what it's made out of (it might be dog s**t and whale blubber (but honestly if whale blubber were in these it wouldn't surprise me at all) and I'd keep eatting it still) but they are incredible. I've found them in lot of random delis and stuff in New York and have a sweet looking secret stash in my apartment, for those 3am cravings. But please get out and try these crazy chewy things, they will rock your world.

Now I have a question for all of you. I am on some weird, and very random, graffiti art kick. I really want some for my apartment. I don't mean someone come over and spray paint the snot out of my walls I mean, I want like poster board sized canvas painted on with bright colors and cool looking writting and scenery and the works. I'd pay for it if I could find it but have yet to discover where someone will do it for less than like 300 bucks... I don't mean to be cheap but I don't have a spare 300 smack-a-roos for wall art, sorry. I talked to a dude in soho who was painting crazy planets and stuff on paper with spray paint if he could help me out and some how that kinda fell thru, honestly I'll take the blame for that though. He was going to do a graffitti picture for me of my logo...

The "HJ" thing. But some how it ended up falling apart...crap!
Anyway, if you guys do it, or know someone that does, let me know, cause I want some! :-)

Ok it's time for bed...Finally, long day of rehearsal and cleaning the apartment, an episode of HJ cribs will be coming up very soon so check back... :-)

Keep safe everybody.

GOODNIGHTALREADY!!!

P.s.
It's late and I spelled a ton of stuff wrong... Once again, it's late...

You're already soliciting for candy-chew-treats a month before your debut? If it were possible for me to be inspired and artistically inclined for you, I'd paint. Have a happy day!

I've had those!!! My old roommate bought them for me as a belated birthday present! They were pretty good...but I'm not as big of a fan of chewy candies, so I'm not an expert like you :). Good luck on the graffiti hunt!

you should google search a pop-artist named "Jack Dylan". he's based out of Montreal right now and used to go to my highschool, he does a lot of promotional posters for bands and stuff and might be able to create something you would enjoy.

Hehehe... they sound pretty awesome, like a fruity version of Kinder Eggs (which, if you see any around up there, you should try).

I could try to do some kind of art project for you... not saying it'll be good or anything, but I can try (It'll definitely be abstract if I do it, lol). If you want me to try, just message me on MySpace (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=43358311) and I'll take a stab at it.

Yo Harley, this is Lauren from DMHS. You know, that girl from the announcements. :P

Anyway I've been living in Japan the past 3 years now and I can tell you what you're eating is a very popular candy called Hi-Chuu. It comes in a ton of different flavors and you can get them just about anywhere.

I see you've done very well for yourself since the days of Desert Mountain!! Congratulations. =D
