I am a bad person

The last two weeks were very busy for the band. We played PJ's just last night, recorded a radio show, and released a new song. Koji has a 2nd child on its way that is due any day now. He had to miss our last two outings. I missed his bass a lot, especially last night. I think being a band is being willing to prove yourselves as survivors, playing shows any way, by any means. Sometimes we can't all make the shows. It it painful to be less than perfect though. So.... this is why the band is going to be rehearsing harder and more intense than ever before to get up to the standards of quality that I imagine in my mind. I consider the show last night to be a huge failure on my part, for reasons I would probably be better off not saying!!!!!!! I was still finishing my birthday celebratiion from the day before, but that really is no exscuse... because in all honesty that is not the first time it happened. I am not going to drink anymore. Even though I sometimes enjoy it a lot-- I...

"The Vow' starting channing tatum and rachel mcaddams

Hello people, I am a bad person, here I am sitting here. Getting drunk off of ONE 40, almost out of beer. I had financial sense at the checkout today. At midnight I will be one year older. One year deader. Nothing has really changed too much since my last birthday. The world sucks a dildo. I hate everyone. I am a bad person. I watched a stupid movie called "The Vow" today, it sucked so bad I didn't even finish it. I hate it that I am not a good looking person, like Channing Tatum. I hate that guy. I hate Justin Timberlake, he is in such good shape. What a depressing revelation. No one even commented on my activia diary. You dirty dildo cocksuckers. If I was a hot chick, all I would have to do is type 3 words, and I would get 28 comments or whatever--- but that doesn't even matter! What the frick am I doing talking about stuff that doesn't even exist! I wish I was sexier, but since I quit smoking, I am fatter and I haven't cut my hair in over a year! Oh wel...

Scamacasters on Craigslist

Image
Hello people. Today has been like many other days in the past, I have experienced something that is very common. People on craigslist posting misleading or ripp off ads for musical instruments! Check this next posting out: Fender Stratocaster with Amp, Case, and Strap - $475 (Carleton) 475 dollars. Now there really isn't anyway this could be that great of deal, even if it was what it said it was. A  used Fender strat made in mexico will usually cost between 200-300 dollars used, but that doesn't mean that people don't try to get more for them, which I will elaborate on later! So its not taking it for granted that you can usually find a great amp in the 175 dollar price range. Here is a picture of what the guy is selling: This is a squire! I am getting so tired of people listing squires as fenders. The amp is a beginner amp made by crate, it is 10 watts. I highly doubt that this guitar/amp combo could have even cost 300 brand new , let alone 475 dollars used ! I hate i...

McDonalds Icecream Cones

Image
Hello people, today I decided to get an icecream cone at Mcdonalds. I got one dipped in chocolate for 1.39. It tasted really good, but I have a huge problem with something. I have had Mc Donald's Ice Cream cones in 3 different states where my family has lived, South Carolina, Wisconsin, and Michigan. I remember getting really big icecream cones, not all the time but they never made them small. Now whenever I get one, it doesn't matter where, they are always TOO SMALL! I am not an idoit, I know they have a little picture of what the cone size is supposed to be be, they have had that for years, and most of the time it was disregarded. Now it seems though, they are being really strict with their sizes.  I remember getting a few ice cream cones this big back in the good old days. They weren't always this big, but I do remember happier times when they made them this b ig. Now this cone right here---t is not that big, not as big as the one above, but it still looks...

dilemas

Hello people. Well today I think I may be forced to take it easy, I have one eye that is a little red/infected... I took the contact that was in it out. The last time this happened, I did that, and my eye eventually got back to normal. Lately I have been obsessed with the idea of purchasing a flying V. I think I do have the money right now, it is just that I would not look forward to being broke, plus I need to keep a little extra money for a recording session thing on the 24th. I do have practice with Koji tonight. I need to get my ass over to music go round and buy some new strings. This weekend at a gig I got carried away and broke a bunch of them-- plus I have a bass that has been bugging me for new strings. Plus my seafoam green strat still has heavy strings on it, (former recycled bass strings that were oo short for bass)--- and now I can only play it in drop C. I think I might want to put it back into standard evenually.. Plus my other strat (the one with all the broken...

I am going to hell

Well its been a while. Sadly my absence from this blog has not marked the end of my computer addiction. Lately I have been on it too much. It truly is a waste of time. You know what we are talking about.... facebook. I know they added that new feature "close friends", now I only get notifications if one of my friend's posts a picture. You don't know how many times it said I had 8 notifications and it is stuff I don't care about. I think the fb is handy because I have no cell phone. I have no cellphone because I have never liked any type of financial commitment, not because I consider myself destitute, which is what a lot of judgmental people think. Plus it pisses me off when I am actually around people and they are on their phone doing some stupid texting. I also realize I do have questionable facebook etiquette sometimes. Yes, I have fake profiles and I mess with people. I also had a fake profile on ok cupid, as a woman. I wanted to check out the competition,...

Karaoke is for Losers

It has been a while since the band has played, so I am looking forward to the party I am having on July 26th with two other bands, Star Destroyer and Avante Garden. I tried to book a show at Woodruffs the same day, but they thought their pathetic Karaoke night was more important. Karaoke is for losers! Seriously, I went to woodruffs one night when it happened to be karaoke, it really fuckin sucked balls! Damn it's hot out! The good news is the party is free! It's on a Thursday. -------Matt
