| Well everyone, I finally reached a breathing point in
the album project. Copies are now available at my website (listed
below). Units cost $12.50 when order via the web and $10.00 for
copies purchased in stores. I will list supplying locations at a
later time.
So, tell a friend, tell your mother, tell the yourself it's here.
Get one before I run out and have to perform a magic trick to get more
in a timely manner (companies are confused about time efficiency, I
believe). Go ahead, stop reading and click the link. =P
I hope to see you all at a few performances, these locations also will
be listed on my web page at a later time. Be prepared. =D

| Hello.
It's me again. I'm just going to dive in.
My album is almost done. I still have two more slots to
fill. I've been struggling, well, with a lot of things really;
my
health, financial independence, mental stability, sexual depravity, but
most importantly,
inspiration. I can spit out music almost effortlessly, well I can
produce structured sound almost effortlessly I mean. But
when it comes to "cornerstones", I'm drying up. I've been tossing
around this idea for a piece that will be one of my favorite bits of
work yet. I'm not telling you about it though, it kind of takes the fun out of it.
I've been doing a lot of sitting about with friends and what not and
all I hear during this time is the sound of egos being stroked.
It really hurts my head. Listen everyone, I'm not fucking
interested in how fucking "cool" or "hardcore" you THINK you are, go
read a book or something. Maybe it will shut you all the hell up
for a moment........................................sorry about that,
it had to be said.
Ah yes, my favorite topic, school. Well, to be frank, I'm kind of
afraid to solidify these thoughts I have concerning my current
situation and what I'm about to do about it. I think I've finally
come to grips with the fact that I can't do school. I think I'm
grasping onto it because it keeps me close to warm bodies that are
eager and ambitious. I have a bigger vision than the
oh-so-familiar go-to-college-get-a-job idea. That doesn't sound
exactly, adventurous or stimulating to me. I have a plan for this year.
I was going to go to mexico this next week, that fell through. I'm
planning a trip to New York, that's not looking good. I also was
asked to go to Las Vegas in August, that is possible but may be a very
big mistake for someone like me to go to a place like that. I may never
come back...........alive....muhahahaha. Anyway, life is a bit
shit right now minus album production.
Oh, Grundish is working on my album cover. It looks pretty
fuckin' killer right now; as I envisioned it anyway. I told him to make a few modifications
to it and I haven't seen the results from that yet. So, yeah, I'm
kind of inquisitive to see how these next few months turn out.
I'll try to keep you posted, maybe, when I have a sec.

| It's almost four in the morning, I have a paper due
tomorrow, I have a class as at 9:45 and I'm having a relapse of a cold
I had last week. All in all, not a very good scenario for
me. However, Damien Rice is calming my soul; more so than ever
before. I feel he finally did it. He created what he's always
wanted. Absolutely phenomenal.
How long has it been? Do you want to
know? Do you want to know what I've been up too? Well,
okay, I'll share. I've been attending classes and doing the whole
"poor-working-student" thing. I don't want to jinx it, but I am
so excited about what will happen within the next few years. Hmm,
excited isn't the word I want to use there, I think....descry would be
more accurately descriptive, maybe, if you know what I mean. I
finally have been diligently recording some of my ideas and mastering
them, somewhat, so they are actually presentably stimulating. It
makes me smile when I hear my music outside of myself, the way I've
imagined it. Very humbling stuff. I'd say, as soon as I get
a mic for my drums, I will have them complete by the end of
winter. (That's a bold statement and very pressuring). I
hope you all enjoy it in it's entirety.
I have also been discussing and planning time for
some serious recording sessions with one of my professors. We
have played together a few times and it sound fucking sweet. When
people ask me what it sounds like, I stumble and try to put into term
that are understandable. I say, "It's like, Radiohead meets Sigur
Ros with Daft Punk/Herbie Hancock flavor." Yeah,I think that's
accurate enough. Don't hold me to that, that's just my opinion.
You may think it sounds like shit. Ha ha. Fuck you if you
do.  . I
don't know what will come of this though. A.J. (my professor) is
a bad ass. We compliment each others stylistics flawlessly.
Muhhahahhha.
In other news, I want to move out. Get a house
or apartment somewhere. I just think it's my time to seriously
start considering this. Although, I'll be even more broke than I
already am but I think I'll manage. Mac and Cheese and tuna fish
sandwiches would be the menu for lunch and dinner everyday. I don't that
sounds to bad. Ha.
Also, I've been feeling quite distant from some of
my friends and colleagues. I apologize and am sorry but I have
been retardedly busy balancing work with personal productivity and
trying to squeeze in a social life in there, somewhere. Please be
patient with me and understand why I've not been around.

School begins in a week and I am dreading every minute that draws me
closer to the first day. However, I am excited to get the long
awaited studio time, I'm still apprehensive about this crucial
experience that's lingering in my mind, for some reason. I think
the problem is that I'm going into this with too many expectations that
it may cripple me from seeing any positive results if it doesn't happen
exactly the way I have desired; how I've imagined what this could do
for me. Their comes a time in every humans life(humans containing
souls, I mean) where they must jump off the ledge, the ledge of
finality in which there is no turning back; nothing to turn back too,
and when you jump you either fall into nothingness or you fly. I
don't know where I'm going with this but I really would like to fly for
once in my life. I've been grounded and partially buried for
years. I think it's my time to go.
Hmm, well, what else can I discuss in a onesided manner (haha).
Women are insane, money isn't real and I hate the world today.
Woohoo, go me for being positive. To elaborate, women tend to
play games and be cheeky or whatever. I think they find it funny
or they think they're cute but I have news for them. You're not
fucking cute you are a heartless bitch, useless to the world except
when it comes to reproduction which in my opinion isn't necessary at
the moment, unless you bring forth another Jesus or something of the
sorts. The world is over populated as it is and is dying because
of it. Will I ever find a non-psycho, self centered,
egotistic, heartless, power hungry bitch in my life? If I had to
say right now, I would say the odds are pretty fuckin' slim to none.
Money, if I had my say in it, I would destroy it all. Kind of
start over with no currency. I would love to watch the money
hungry business people shit themselves when they have nothing to live
for and, in a scramble, most likely jump out of their office building
window. Imagine my ideal world if you will; people helping
people, giving a hand to each person. GIVING a hand not holding
there hand. Greed would not exist in this world, everyone would
have all that they needed to survive and enjoy their life resulting in
the disregarding of greed as well as pride; both very dangerous
entities, in my opinion. The only thing there is to do in this
world in perfect their trade and/or talent. No competition, or
envy. Respect for all and complete appreciation for those willing
to learn and everyone with similar trades/talents would offer a helping
hand for those who need it. This world we live in now could be
capable of this idea, but fear and silly desires for power would crush
this fragile and idealistic notion in a heartbeat, maybe someday people
will realize..........you will realize(CENSORED FOR YOUR SAKE).
*Sigh*, this will be my heaven, my eden, my................goal?
Hahahaha, perhaps I'm getting carried away as well as thinking too
deeply about this topic. Moving on......I guess.
I'm weary. It's time for bed..............

| Devastation.
So, I got everything sorted out to got to college here, right? I went to the home office of immigration and was refused a student visa due to insufficient information from the school, among other things. So, I will be coming home on the 19th of August, kind of scary, given all this shit going on with the terrorist stuff and all that. I'm really freaked out about my plane trip home.
Any way, I will apply for Hocking and hopefully I will do my music bit there. Yadda yadda yadda.
I just came back from the pub for a ''drowning of my sorrows'' session. Yeah, I know, a little cliche and sad but I really am floored and relatively pissed off. I am beyond words at the moment; utterly shocked.
I will see you all soon, hopefully, as in I don't get blown up or stabbed on the trip home. | | |
