Humanity let me down

So Daniel (from the band) had his house literally ransacked by some vagrants today. They took a few things but mostly just went through each room and tried to create as much destruction as they could by flipping things over, spraypainting the walls and just rummaging through everything.

It's so disheartening to hear that there are people who will literally break in to your home and have the nerve to do something like this. I try to imagine what these people were thinking as they broke the back window in the middle of the day and just ran around destroying strangers personal property. Especially people as nice as Daniel and his roommates. I cant wrap my head around it.

Luckily the band room was relatively untouched. Suprisingly. These people were obviously not thieves looking for valuables. regardless they left a spray paint can so hopefully the police will be able to get something from the evidence.

I want to scream obscenities but it would be a waste of breath. It could have been much worse. Daniel said his guitar, amp and keyboard were untouched so thats all that matters to him. He'll sleep soundly among the mess knowing this. Something about that makes it sadder to me.

Humanity let me down today.

In my fantasy life.....

I am a Texas Hold Em professional. Sitting at the final table going all in with a pair of aces, its just me and one of those other guys.

The river card is an ace. The place erupts as I get up and do laps around the room, my arms in glorious triumph.

The next day I go buy myself a recording studio, start dating Scarlett Johannsen and get some rims for my saturn.

poker is cool.

I love you Elizabeth

Is it just me or was this one of the sexiest women in television history.

cant sit still for one damn second

I went out last night and had drinks with abe, samantha and her roommate. I just got back from a crazy weekend. Now Im sitting here completely out of my mind with boredom. I wrote a little something that might become something cool someday. But still...

Why cant I ever sit still? I was literally pacing moments ago, going out of my head with boredom. I don't know how to relax. and i refuse to simply pacify myself with television.

In the book "The Way of the Superior Man" David Deida talks about allowing yourself to sort of wallow in your own silence and see what kind of thoughts creep up. He believes that we are constantly filling our days with chatter and noise to ignore our real selves peeking out. I can see this but what does it mean when you literally hate stagnation if even for a moment. If I'm not out in the thick of things I go nuts. If I ever got married I'd have to find a woman who understands this. I could read. But nah.

Wow the majority of life is actually quite boring. I can barely take it sometimes.

But then I sound like an ungrateful bastard. I'm fully recovered from a weird sickness and have things so good right now. That appreciation is always there, probably more so that most. I love life. I am aware its fleeting. Maybe that is the reason I don't enjoy peace and quiet. My time here is limited and its always on my mind.

Busiest Weekend of My Life

Kevin's wedding went great. I didn't lose the rings. I toasted without stammering like a jackass. I was a great best man if I do say so myself. I then flew out of Houston and was picked up by the guys in Harlingen with no hassles. We drove to the beach and walked around and took some cool pics.

The festival went great but in more unexpected ways. First the stage was huge. Travis was on a riser that literally lifted him off the ground a good 4 or 5 feet. The monitors were great and I could hear myself clearly. The sound guy was just a guy so he didn't mix the instruments in the monitors well (in all fairness I didnt really ask either so maybe it was my fault) but we banged it out regardless. Not near as many people watched us as I would have expected but afterwards we were bum rushed by some folks and told some very nice things. We signed several peoples CDs and people actually bought a few shirts.

We were given the chance to play for a lady's daughter's graduation party. Its going to have to be a decent compensation to make the driving and lugging worth it. More on that later.

Big show next Tuesday with a signed band. I cant wait to get back into the depths of a cool, dark and small bar to play our music. It just sounds good that way.

New logo, new song recorded, but no toast yet

Update:

Okay so I reaaaaaly need to get a toast down for Kevin's wedding next Saturday. That and buy a suit. Plane ticket is booked for Harlingen. I leave a few hours after the wedding officially ends.

We have T-shirts that look completely professional so we're very excited to see our logo on merchandise.

Saturday we recorded another song at Travis' friend Jared's house. The song is called birthday card and we are proud of the results. Check it out here...
