New Gameplan

so now that i am a free agent and looking for a diversity of music styles to give myself to, the world has opened up for me! i have a metal band (an established metal band) scouting me, i have a funk band looking to add me, and there is my good friend, scott, looking to create something beautiful with me. it is fun being able to be all over the board musically and being happy with the end product! people always ask me, what kind of music are you into? i always say, "good music." when i say that, what i mean is, i can play everything, but what i want is something refined and professional. i will play thrash metal if it is a polished good incantation of thrash! i will play folk if it is a functional, deeply lyrical divulgence into the psyche of a minimalist view of a slice of life. i will play in a jam-band if it is a dictation of temperature bled through an amplifier and the notes call whether it is 95* or 104*! it is all about the music and expression! i love me some music. right now i have the chance to go back and delve into what i think is music. redefine what i think is art, if you will! we will see what comes of this, and i will update (like i feel i have to) what i do here!

rock is not enough, but if it is true rock, it is always enough!

As Good As It Gets?

for someone who is an old hand at going out and "finding what there is to do," i have been spending a lot of time at home not going out and finding such distractions. tonight was my day of -going out-. i spent a great day with the bobin meeting him to horses, dogs and people i haven't seen for many years. i went to a good friend's birthday party and was happy to spend my time there. i went to a big show where the term "vip" really applied to me and tore it all up there. then the strangeness happened: at the late night place i went to, i met up with two friends i haven't seen for years. "chocolate" is a bud that just got free and he was there...no business being there; he knew no one, but is family from way back! also, at said spot, was an old friend by the name of chris leben (google the name). we caught up and made plans and all that neat business. all in all, my friends, i would title the night nothing less than "epic!" i had an epic day and there is not much better! hell, i even found $62 on the floor at the bar! paid for epic! it all comes around.

rock!

Rain

here is a simple shout out to the end of summer! i can't stand the heat. i love the chilly wet autumn--the brittle doldrums of fall--the ever-shortening time between now and all hallows eve! time to get the house sold in order to have enough money to realize my fully robotic costume.
