With one foot planted in the Kentucky hills where he grew up and the other on the New York City streets he calls home, singer/songwriter Adam Swiderski spins songs of love, loss and astrological phenomenon that tug at your emotions while tickling the part of your brain that appreciates a memorable melody. After playing for three years in the up-and-coming New York City rock band The Yesterdays, Adam returned to the acoustic guitar and rediscovered the combination of pop/rock sensibility and folk twang that was his first love. He is currently in pre- and post-production on various recording projects, and can be seen playing shows in and around the New York area. He likes ninjas and falafel and long walks on the moonlit beach. Pet peeves include mean people, the misuse of "its" and "it's," and zombie apocalypse.
Hey Adam, hope things have been going well with you! Just thought of you again when "Hey You Astronauts" popped up in my shuffle from The Knitting Factory show... good times!
Seriously Adam....are we going to get anymore blog entries anytime soon? There has got to some form of pop culture out there for you to bitch about....
Attention: Adam Swiderski fans... it's time to unite in The Big Apple for the party of the year :)
Two nights, twenty bands from all over the country and even across the pond playing over twelve hours of music... and 100% of all net proceeds will be going to two great charities!
All the girls out there are totally lying when they tell you that size does not matter. Want proof?
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that Joey has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. KAKIM.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from KAKIM.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at KAKIM.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the pills will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing. KAKIM.COM
