Last November I started a songwriting partnership with a fellow named Tim Blaise who plays bass for Oracle and the Mountain. This basically consisted of us getting together playing random sections of music that each of us had written that didn't have a home with our respective bands. It was a pretty interesting exercise and because these sessions ( Read more... )

A long while in fact since I've written anything in here. I'm back on the boats for yet another year of bartending. Most of the trips have been shitty, but I have gotten a couple of decent ones. I've also got a regular off day now, though so no long stretches of 20 and 30 days where I continuously work without time off. It's comforting to know that ( Read more... )

I'm done moving finally. Turned in the key to the old place earlier tonight. It was an exhausting, mentally draining experience that I want no part of again for a long while. It took almost two weeks to complete. Once I get unpacked I'll probably add more to the story. Right now I just need sleep and lots of it.

The past week has been eventful. I played a gig at Murphy's with The Adversary on tuesday, which was fun as always and an excellent stress reliever to boot. Then I backed up JD at his CD release party on friday, that show was not nearly as fun. Though it was cool hanging out, I had an awful headache throughout the show that only relented slightly ( Read more... )

It's been awhile since I've written anything, but since we just had an election I figured I'd shit out a few thoughts on it. First, I'm a registered independant, always have been always will be. I refuse to join either side because I don't totally agree with either parties full platform, that said I do tend to lean a little to the left especially ( Read more... )

The past several days have been busy but very, verry interesting at least to me anyways. There have been lots of shows, lots of work and even an appearance on an early morning TV show thrown in the mix. I even found time to turn twenty eight somewhere in the middle of it all. I guess it started the night before my birthday when The Adversary kicked ( Read more... )

I'd like to begin this post by saying that I think chicken and waffles are way overrated. I like chicken and I like waffles, I'm just not too fond of them being in the same meal together. The waffle is just a little too over the top, like eating a BLT with a chocolate cake. Have you ever eaten a BLT with a chocolate cake? I rest my case. That said ( Read more... )

The first time I saw George Carlin was when I was probably eight or nine years old on Nick at Nite . It was a rerun of the first episode of SNL and I remember laughing so hard at his baseball-football comparison. Later, as I grew up I saw him on tv time and time again and really grew to smile and identify with his point of view especially as I ( Read more... )

I've been trying like hell to do fun shit for the past few weeks, and have succeeded for the most part. I've taken up playing disk golf with Shay, his brother and various random people on my off days from Fed. I suck royally at it but I do have fun. Monday I drank Jager with the newest captain on the lower Mississippi, Teddy Kirksey. To celebrate ( Read more... )
