I can't believe tour starts in... five days? Something like that. It's pretty crazy and I'm always, always, always, kind of floored when it's time to leave home. It's slightly more weird this time, for reasons I will not get into right now. I made the mistake of maxing out my one credit card on things that I will eventually need, but don't need immediately. Therefore, everything will go back to it's place of origin when it all gets to me, in it's neatly unopened packages. Unless Luce thinks it's useful, in which case, I am a whipped man and it'll stay in the house where it belongs.
I'm getting way way way ahead of myself. I'm sort of bursting, but I'm classy and whatever I've got to say, it can wait. I won't announce this to the world before I announce it to my mother. Which I am doing right after I post this blog. I can't decide if I'm dwelling or psyching myself up. Sorry for being so vague, dudes! You'll find out, I promise!
Anyway, tour! Fans! Music! It's all part of what I like to call 'The Best'. I'm right stoked, gotta say. It's gonna be good, because it's always good. Maybe I'll even come out from behind my kit for a stellar cover of a Beatles song or something. Okay, maybe not the Beatles, but the Beatles are great. See you dudes out there!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX, kyle weirdface ransom. the man with the hottest girlfriend alive.

Apparently, I am the official blogger in this band.
Has it really been since July? I can't believe it's been that long. Dudes, we haven't fallen off the face of the planet. The rest of the dudes haven't, and I definitely haven't. In fact, the other day we recorded a video for a song from Watch Out! I'm not going to tell you what it is. Not yet, but I will tell you. It's good. And it took ages. And it'll be out soon. In fact, some of you were there chillin with us while we recorded (just because we like to chill with you guys) so you probably all know which song it's for and what the video is about. It's gonna be a good video I think. Dare I say, it's a little artistic? Maybe. Just a bit. It's still us. Promise. I think it's gonna turn out to be pretty gnarly.
On the plain old level of... life in general, shit's been pretty sweet. After Warped was done I found myself across the pond running around with the dudes (and chicks) in Barclay while they were playing Reading and Leeds. That was good times, for sure. And much needed times, spent with a specific person, who I missed a lot. It's really no secret that my girlfriend is the hottest woman on the planet. Even if she tells me I'm delusional for thinking so. But if I'm delusional, so are the rest of you because I know you all think she's hot too. I've been on some message boards. I know what you say about her.
Moving on. We're going out on the road again, really soon. Full Canada thing, then America, and then parts of Europe. All before Christmas, and then we'll do it again, and again, and again. You're all going to get sick of our mugs, and our antics (what antics??) and you won't buy our records, or our merch, and I'll have to go to college to learn how to do something more useful than banging on things. I bet that's how it'll all go down.
I need some sleep, dudes. Tour dates will be up sometime this week, I think, if they aren't already. If they are, someone let me know. And let me know when you're coming out so we can chill!!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Breakdowns...
Dudes! Ladies! What's up? Warped is amazing. It's been about a month or so and we're all a nasty shade of sun burn by now. All of us. Crazy happenings have happened, though. I mean, my girlfriend beat up a dude the other day? I missed it though. Anyway, I know I'm breakin the law by writing in thing twice in a row but someone's gotta do it and the rest of the dudes seem to turn computer stupid on tour, with the exception of hitting a play button...
So, the bus broke down the other night. It wasn't awesome. I woke up a good hour after we'd pulled out to a massive banging sort of sound. See, there's a process to this, I'm learning. This tour is literally the first time we've got to have a bus, so we're learning stuff. You sleep with your feet facing the front, in case of sudden lurching stops. Sometimes you brace yourself against the side of your bunk if you're driving through mountains or something. No number two on the bus. All pretty basic stuff. So the bus stops kinda slow, but the noise wakes me up and I sorta jump out of my bunk, but it's more like a roll and jump because you can't sit up and look around without smacking your head or something, aka, not good. So I stand up as the bus stops and I look around, making sure I'm not dead, and that no one else is dead, because the noise was a loud, you might die, sort of noise. Okay, no one's dead. Off to investigate. Driver's not in his seat, bus door is open. Maybe he's outside getting mauled by a moose. Wait, we're in America, there are no moose here. So I go out and by now the dudes are up and collectively, we're wtf-ing and wondering why we're no longer asleep in our tiny capsules. Then I see the pretty massive cloud of smoke coming from the front of the bus. Not cool. I'm still not sure what went wrong exactly, but thankfully, like I said earlier, there is a process to all of these things. You see, on Warped, it's standard that three buses at a time travel together, just in case things like last night happen. So it wasn't long before the Barclay bus pulled up behind us, along with another. Which band, I'm not sure. So we all trucked back onto the bus, gathered up whatever we thought we needed and split up, getting on whatever bus we could squeeze onto. So a couple of the other guys and I managed to find our way onto the Barclay bus, which is considerably less crowded since they only have their band, and a couple extra people. Some of those people are camera guys and stuff from MTV (I think...) though, so we pretty much spent the rest of the night with cameras in our faces. I'm pretty sure you'll see at least one of our asses on TV in the fall. But I'm not saying which one of us. You can guess. Hahah.
We got our bus back the next night, thankfully. Not that I don't like chillin with those dudes (and chicks) but having those cameras around is pretty gnarly.

Kyle is anti-blog.
For the record, I do not condone the use of online journals. I just wanted to remind all you pretty (and handsome) faces to BUY Watch Out! in a week when it hits record store shelves (in the Canadaland, at least) even if you've fuckin already downloaded it. I did, the quality isn't as good and there's surprises at the end of the album for you. It's worth it. iTunes has a super snazzy deal going on where you can pre-order the album, and you'll get a digital copy of The Little Girls EP for free.
I also think you should tune into Much Music THIS Sunday and be amazed at the performance we're giving on the MMVA's. We're also nominated for a couple awards, so you can watch us pick those up too.
I'm taking bets on which of the guys accidentally drunkenly harasses the hot VJ first. Anyone else want in?
XOXOXOXOXOXOX, k
ps. Who wants to hang out on Warped? I guarantee good times. Let me know which dates you're hitting up! We're on all summer.
