This is the one and only Twinky P aka Anthony. I'm not really good about keeping up with my updates, so I apologize. So as most of you know Full Service is back on tour, this time the West Coast. I would like to thank all my homies back in Htown for making all the Houston shows awesome. I would also like to thank everyone for coming out to all my Bday shows :-P (Austin, Houston, and El Paso) My bday lasted a whole week this year. So I don't think I've done an update since I got back from tour last time. Since then I got a job at Pizza Hut in West Lake. One of the funnest jobs I've ever had, I'd like to give a shout out to all my P-Hut crew. I also moved in with a roommate for the first time in my life when I got back. Maria aka The Mojo Pin, the best roommate I ever had :-P(Holla back girl) also a P-Hut member. Since the last tour I've been broke ass broke. I'm actually in debt pretty hardcore but I'm happier being broke than I ever was having money but working all the time. So we had our tour sendoff show on the 7th of Jan. It was also my first bday show and it was one of the best shows I've ever played. I love having all my friends in the house and rocking it out. I would also like to say thanks to Downfall and Surfing Standing Still for tearing it up that night as well. The next weekend was my Htown bday party show. I always like seeing my old school homies and putting it down at Acadia. Thanks to The Uknown Locals for the show and to everyone that was there with a January bday. A couple days after that we took off for tour and headed towards El Paso. Lopey's dad was the best and totally hooked it up with food and shelter. My actual bday was on the 19th of Jan and we played in El Paso. It was a drunken night with a video tape of me saying things that don't need to see the light of day. After that we went to Arizona. Phoenix is really cool city. ASU is one of the coolest Universities in the nation. The first night we were there we played a frat party to 400 people. One of the days we went to Squaw Peak and hiked up the mountain. My feet are still a little sore from that and it's been a week. As of right now we've been in LA for the past couple of days and man this place is crowded and smoggy. That aside this is a very cool place. I haven't seen so many Ferraris, Lamborginis, and Bentley's in my life. Lope and I saw to Ferraris pull into a parking garage back to back. That was a half a million dollar 2 car caravan! BAM DIGGLE!! Besides that its basically just getting up everyday and promoting or doing take overs until its time to go to the club and play. The days are going by too fast. Anyways, I'll try to be better at updating a little more often.
peace
p.s. Sorry ladies but Anthony is once again off the market but she will remain nameless for right now ;-)
p.p.s. So for the longest time I was the reigning champ of most hits on the FullServiceMusic website but lately everyone has passed me up(probably cuz I haven't posted an update in a while). The guys had all these crazy theories why I was number one for so long. So I propose to leave a comment up either on our website www.fullservicemusic.com or our myspace www.myspace.com/fullservice and let us know which one of us is your favorite Full Service member and why. And for all those who don't know I also have a myspace account www.myspace.com/twinkyp So feel free to hit me up there whenever.
OCTOBER 1, 2005 -
Long time no update, i know.
All i have to say is sorry. I am way over due for an update so here it is. i think the last update was when i left savannah. I dont know if i mentioned that i got stung by a jelly fish for the first time there. It sux. So after savannah we traveled up the east coast. Made a bunch of new friends(see toursaw allstars in the tour diary) and saw a lot of the country - AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!! NYC was crazy. Way too many people in a small space. Awesome to visit but not to live. Philly is beautiful, especially homesaw. Philly Cheese Steak MMMMMMMMMM. I had tons of fun playing bball(even though i suck hardcore) I was always the handicap pick for any team. My friends from Austin came to the Boston show, HELL YEAH! boston was cold and it was august. Cape Cod was awesome. Went Surfing for the first time in freezing water. I want to send a shout out to the Bellingrat hs, HOOTIE HOOOO!!! Then there was Nantucket.......breathe taking. I'm from Miami but i have never seen surf like last day we were on the beach in Nantucket. Crazy huge. I got worked and Smell is fearless. Man there were so many shows and cities and people. I loved it all. One of the best experiences in my life.
The tour wrap up update would not be complete without the mention of MISSISSIPPI ERIN. So i met this beautiful cool chick in the crooked letter state and we started talking and texting through out the tour. Pretty much every night. So Smell and i drove the van back from philly(which was an incredible ride through the country and a great 5 days with Smell) Anyways, smell and i stayed with Erin when we passed through Miss. Those mother fuckers know how to drink. DAMN can they drink. I had a great time chilling with erin in miss. and she apparently did to so she flew in to see me this past weekend and we are going out now. Sorry ladies, you had your chance
So this brings us to now(i know i left a bunch of things out but i'll write another update with the rest as i remember more) I am broke as a joke, and im not laughing. I need a job. i needed a job yesterday. If you read this and have a hook up somewhere, let me know. I speak spanish, really. Besides the cash flow problem, life is good. Im in a band that i love, I just came off tour(the first step to becoming a rockstar), I work out everyday so im looking better(and the word on the street is that my ex is getting bigger - andvantage twink) I have a gf (), I'm way over my panic attacks, and i love my life.
i apologize if forgot anyone or anything important, its 2 am. I also didn't proof read this so email me if u wanna make fun of me or correct my grammar.
OH, and by the way
I figured out what women really want in a man
A chest full of hair with a Medallion all up in it
JULY 19, 2005 - It’s Sunday and we had the day off. We drove into Savannah and it was fucking amazing. First we went to a minor league baseball game. It was alright, but then Hoag and Bone totally got into it with these huge-ass boxing gloves. Then me and Smell went at it. Fucking hilarious. Then after the game we had a race cuz I’d been talking shit since last night on how I can beat them at a 100 yard dash. I slipped the first race, then won the second, and totally got owned by Hoag and Smell the last race. THEN…the BEACH. Incredible. I hadn’t been to a nice beach in years. We are now driving back to get some grub. I wanted to tell the guy’s I loved them but it seemed kinda inappropriately girly, so I didn’t.
JULY 16, 2005 - well its 1:30 am on a friday morning and im in montgomery alabama. The tour is going awesome. we had an awesome show the first night in austin. I feel like it was definitely one of the best shows i've ever played. I had a blast at both the austin and houston shows. I would like to thank everyone that came out. Unfortunately, the brothers van(tony) died on the way down to houston, so we had to rent a econoline van for the tour that cost about 13 hundred bucks. Luckily we got hooked up by our friend dallas from lsps for a sweet deal on the van. The van and trailer makes the tour feel more official to me. anyways, the first night in jackson mississippi was aight. We played at a dive bar and only a couple people came out, but the people that did come out really liked us so that made our night. The next night we played a really cool club called the joint. we played with 3 other touring bands and the last one was from jackson. So they hooked us up with the spot right before them with their home town crowd. They were called Simply Human and they were badass. Tonight we played at a restaruant in montgomery alabama. It was pretty cool. The brothers played an acoustic set that was awesome(even though they thought they messed up a lot) and then we rocked it out with the whole band to finish off the night. It was tight cuz they paid us 2 bills to play and free beer!! Tomorrow we're off to Tallahassee. For the most part touring is basically a lot of driving and loading of equipment. Its cool to see what the rest of the country looks like. i can't believe how small the towns are out here. So far no groupies, but im keeping an eye out just in case. :-) Hopefully i'll have some video and photos of the tour. All in all, i would die a happy man if i could do this for a living. I love playing music and my band. I hope the world is ready to get served. :-)
MAY 25, 2005 What is up everybody
so what has been happening in the life of twinky P u ask? a whole bunch of work. I HATE MY JOB WITH A PASSION. the only thing keeping me there is that im going on tour in 4 weeks. So in band news, i have 2 major strikes against me cuz of a late show at our bigsby's show and my dissappearing act at the skateworld show. I would like to send out a sincere apology to everyone(especially the band, and BONESAW) i owe them big time(i'll never hear the end of it)
In other news i've been jamming this band called Fall Out Boy lately(listening to them as i type this) and they just broke out on MTV recently, but i've known about them for a while now through myspace. They seem like cool guys. So i was listening to their music this morning and i was thinking to myself how awesome they are(even if they r pop punk) and then i got into my car and i had 3 will ride forth in the cd player. I turned on the cd player and i thought to myself - i am so lucky to be in this band, WE FUCKING ROCK!!!!!!!! I can't believe that im in this band and i still listen to our own music everyday. U'd think that i would be sick of it by now. HELL NO!!!!!!

I would also like to send a huge thanx to Michelle, Jessika, Kathy, and Susan for taking time out their lives to help out the band. there aren't words to describe how much the band appreciates what u do for us.
I am in a great place in my life right now - Cut ties with the ex, jamming with a band that i love, not having anymore panic attacks(thats a huge one for me) and having my families support in what i choose to do. These last couple weeks have been hardcore at my hell hole of a job, but every show that we play has been getting better and better and more and more people r coming out. So thank u to everyone.
The one and only Twinky P
p.s. i can play soccer better than anyone else in the band. :-P
March, 2005 - What is up everybody. I am truly previliged, excited and happy to be in Full Service. I caught wind of the band through my friend scrappy at Austin's Pizza and became a fan. Now i actually play in the band(how cool is that). Even though i'm in the band, i still jam their cd's when im driving around. So a little history about me- I was born in miami and then moved to houston in 92. My mom is Colombian and i speak spanish. I also used to play soccer for many years while growing up. I started playing guitar in middle school and i've been in bands ever since my first show in 8th grade. I was in a band called overshot 2003 that was very succesful. Our biggest show was on the side stage at a festival with 15,000 in attendance. We got to open up for a bunch of national acts. Even with all the success of overshot, i am even more excited to play with Full Service. This is the first band that i've really connected musically with(in regrads to my taste and style of music) and that is why this is the best band i've ever been in. I hope this is the start of a long and beautiful relationship. I am very outgoing(maybe too outgoing) so feel free to talk to me(or email me) whenever.
Peace out
Twinky P
