I wish..

I wish that I had never met you.

Then there would be no need to impress you. No need to want you. No need for loving you. No need for crying over you. No need for heartbreaks. No need for pain or tears. No need for forgotten promises. No need for rejected hugs. No need for crying myself to sleep. No need for acting like you care. No need, for everything you’ve done to make me feel like absolutely nothing.

But then again, I’m glad I did meet you.

Cause you were the one who always asked me if anything was wrong. The one who cared when everyone else didn’t. The one who listened. The one who stayed up late just to talk about the randomest shit ever. You were the one who I told secrets to. The one who taught me new things. The one who laughed at my bad jokes. The one who did things, just for me.

Forever The Sickest Kid.

History

Formation and Underdog Alma Mater (2006-2008)

Jonathan Cook and Kyle Burns went to high school together, and later got together with Kent Garrison and Kyle's step-brother Marc Stewart, who had also gone to school together. Marc then contacted Caleb Turman, to "jam" however Caleb suggested his friend Austin Bello, so the band arranged a meeting, the band was then formed. For a while, Austin and Caleb played in a band called Been Bradley, while the others played in a band called The Flipside . In late 2006, both of those groups reached a creative standstill, and the band was officially formed.
While browsing PureVolume, lead singer Jonathan Cook accidentally spent $350 that the band didn't have to receive a front page placement of a song that they also didn't have. For this reason, they went into the studio and wrote "Hey Brittany", then recorded it with their producer Geoff Rockwell in a matter of days. Since it was first posted, "Hey Brittany" has garnered many Internet plays and triggered a bidding war among eight record labels.On April 24, 2007, Universal Motown emerged victorious, and released the band's Television Off, Party On EP on July 3. The releases of The Sickest Warped Tour EP and the Hot Party Jamz EP would soon follow.The band's first single, "Whoa Oh! (Me vs. Everyone)", was released on April 20, 2008. Their debut album Underdog Alma Mater was later released on April 29, and their second single, "She's a Lady" was released on July 14.
The band supported All Time Low and The Rocket Summer on the 2008 Alternative Press tour from March 14 to May 2. The band played with Metro Station, The Cab, Danger Radio and The Maine on their first headlining tour, and later performed on the 2008 Vans Warped Tour. They appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on June 12, performing their single "Whoa Oh! (Me vs. Everyone)". The band then headed to Tokyo, Japan to perform at the annual Summer Sonic Festival. In late September, the band undertook a brief headlining tour in the UK, after Cobra Starship, the original headliners, post-poned their tour. The band also held the Sassy Back tour throughout October and November with Cobra Starship, Hit the Lights, and Sing it Loud.

This Dallas-based six-man group was formed in 2006 and features Austin Bello (bass), Kyle Burns (drums), Jonathan Cook (vocals), Kent Garrison (keyboards), Marc Stewart (guitar) and Caleb Turman (guitar).
Since releasing their full length album, Underdog Alma Mater, FTSK has been touring the U.S. successfully and building a fan base from the grass roots up. They were also on the cover of Alternative Press magazine, performed on Conan O'Brien's late night talk show, toured Europe, performed in Japan and even re-recorded their hit single "Whoa-Oh (Me VS. Everyone)" with Disney star, Selena Gomez!
Up next, FTSK will support the November 17, 2009 release of The Weekend: Friday - the first in a series of three albums - with a nation-wide "The Cheap Date Tour". New tracks featured on The Weekend: Friday include:

Do Or Die
Tough Love
She Likes (Bittersweet Love)
Take It Slow
Hip Hop Chick
What Do You Want From Me
Hawkbot featuring Chae Hawk (Bonus Track)

The two other albums in the series - The Weekend: Saturday and The Weekend: Sunday - will be released in 2010.

And you know? This band will be performed in Jakarta, Sept 23. I cant imagine how I love them! Can't wait to see you'll guys.

How to Get a Friend to Stop Smoking

It is hard to watch a friend smoke his or her way into a bad life. So for all of you good friends out there who want to help your friend stop smoking, Here is a list of things to do.

Steps

Talk to your friend. Tell them how you feel. Most of the time this will not be enough but if the friend knows how you feel they may realize other people want them to stop too.
Start showing your friend pamphlets about all the terrible things that could happen if they smoke. They'll insist that they can do whatever they want to their body but graphic images can have an impact
Respond to their comment about doing whatever they want by showing them how smoking does not only affect them. Inform them about second-hand smoke or show them that if something happened to them it would also effect friends, family, there children, and there spouse. Make sure they realize smoking does not only hurt them.
If the person is job/goal oriented show them how smoking could effect there job or there goals.
If the person has a pet of some sort. Show them that if something happened to them there pet would be all alone
Get other people in there life who are opposed to smoking to tell them that they should stop.

How to Socialize, Be Funny and Make Friends.

Steps

Just be yourself. Don't be afraid to express your opinions. If someone insults you, just ignore them.
Be optimistic. Even if you are feeling really down, remember that there's always something out there to smile about. A positive outlook will make people want to be around you a lot more. Be cautious, however. There's a point where optimism can be annoying. Don't be too optimistic.
Crack a joke. (Having a sense of humor is important, but don't get too carried away, there are some things you have to be serious about.If you joke about your friend in a rude way it could damage your relationship with them.)
Smile as much as you can! Signs of encouragement let people know you care about what they are saying. But have a reason to smile. Make it clear you have a reason to smile with humor or optimistic words. Smiling without a reason, or smiling too much may creep people out.
Share interesting/silly ideas. Your thoughts can open up many doors that can lead to friendship.
Listen more than you talk. Instead of nodding and smiling and occasionally wiping the drool off your face, try to take what the person says and run with it. Add your own thoughts into the mix - but don't hijack the conversation.
Start by doing little things if you are very reserved. For example, every time you go to school, work, or wherever, say hello to one person and have a one-on-one conversation with them.
Say "hello" to those that don't talk much. (Share something about yourself, such as where you're going or why you're there. Avoid talking about the weather - as Tom Waits says, "Strangers talk about the weather." Try to compliment them.
Don't expect perfection out of anyone, especially yourself. For example, if you forget your own name while introducing yourself, just make fun of the situation.
Be Patient. If you are still among strangers, the apprehension of a conversation may cause a delay in comments. Don't worry, that will go away in short order.
Talk to older people, maybe even your own folks. They will be less likely to ridicule you, therefore making it easier to learn to talk well.
Place importance on making social contacts. The people who are considered popular may not be the sharpest tacks in the box, but they are acquainted with important people who may contribute to their future careers. It is never too late to feel that being popular is important. If your work environment allows for it, host a party, organize a sports game, etc.
Love yourself. It is difficult to like others when you do not appreciate yourself for who you are. Try exercise to improve your self-esteem. Start your journey to "self-discovery."
Be loyal. Little things count. If you make an appointment, be on time. If you're in a group, show up early, and stay late (even if you don't have anything to say at the moment).
Be nice to others. Always give compliments, but don't try too hard. If you are shy, take a deep breath and risk it - you never know what might happen. Again, if you are shy on the outside but a little crazy on the inside, let it out once in a while. Wear your hair up high and spin around or dance. Others will laugh and find you funny and fun to be with.
Try not to be defensive over something that is possibly your own issue. For example, don't shout, "Why are you so prejudiced?" or "Why don't you like women?" when due to past situations you may just be overly sensitive. Try to always believe the best of others and give them the benefit of the doubt that can go a long way in getting to know the real person. If it turns out they are a bigot, then move on to befriend the next person and don't waste any more energy. It may take a few tries to find friends that "click."
Be honest. Lying will make people not want to be your friend any more, because they will not trust you anymore.
Respect everyone, no matter what they think or say. They are a person and deserve to be treated with respect. If you treat people well they will treat you the same.
