new job FAIL

Just as my new boss calls me a godsend, i make a mistake that cost them a few thousand dollars.

Nice man. Really nice.

Albert you are correct sir

Albert Einstein was asked what the most important question to ask was.

His answer?

Is the universe a friendly place?

This question is at the heart of your happiness in my opinion. It trickles down into everything you do. Your relationships, how you see yourself and your potential. Your success in your chosen profession. Everything.

I totally agree with him. I am doing my best to reprogram myself from all my negative patterns of thinking. Fear. Doubt. Insecurity. If the universe is truly friendly then I have nothing to fear.

continuing the trend

Played another show last night. I didn't think I would have the energy but I found it. I was on all cylinders.

So no wonder it took me until 4 this morning to fall asleep. I had to take nyquil to make it happen. That whole "so tired that you cant sleep" thing is very real. My body was heavy but my brain just raced until a few hours before I had to get up.

Some super well-known surprise DJ played after our set. In fact they asked us to cut our set short. We would have said fuck you and just kept playing but we thought the guy was one of the CO-OP people and cut a song.

Pissed us off when we realized who was asking us to do it. We showed up at 8. Tired, setting up the stage. We put together the nights bill except for them. I wish I would have known and told them to suck it. Lesson learned. Figure out who the decision maker is for that kind of thing is and tell everyone else to kiss our asses.

No more shows for awhile. Sleep. Glorious sleep. I didn't drink a drop of alcohol last night and think it was one of the best ideas I have ever had. Tired is one thing. Tired and hungover is nearly unbearable.

This last week was learning what I am physical capable of sustaining. And without sleep and moderate partying, its not very much.

im soooooo tired

Busy weekend of shows and another one tonight. Im very tired. I simply cannot hang like I used to. Any real tour is going to require me to keep a tight lid on my partying. But a great weekend overall. The 101x show was cool. Kevin and Demetria came down which was way cool.

For some reason the venue filmed a pizza commercial during the first two songs of our set. Totally lame. We refused to have our faces filmed so lets see if they respected our request.

I got stopped by a cop at 3am (definitely tipsy) and was let go with a warning. Not sure how that happened exactly but I am very grateful for it. Like screaming out loud grateful.

The show last night was ok. Muddy backstage area set me off a bit. But there was a decent sized crowd of folks who never saw us. A SXSW film student interviewed Alex and I afterwards for some project he is working on with the Alamo Drafthouse. I didn't say much. Alex did most of the talking. But they were nice guys and we totally dont mind being filmed for something like that.

Tonight is a show for a commune style living situation on campus called the 21st street CO-OP

SXSW starts wednesday. Everyone has parties they are RSVPing to and I just stare blankly at the screen wondering what to do. One of these years I am going to take it seriously and hit up everything I can think of. Buy the damn badge and just go wild.

Still keeping our fingers crossed a SX gig will manifest itself. Probably not. But maybe. No actually probably not.

Shit was broken, blood was spilled, stuffed animals were stolen, my neck is sore for some reason.
