Im currently in my bunk watching season 8 of the TV show Wings, my absolute favorite TV show of all time. Tonight we played in Reno Nevada. It was....weird, to say the least. 124 people came in a 975 capacity room...so, it wasnt really the most exciting show, but we made the best of it. The show ended 4 songs early when a dude decided to stage dive, into NO ONE, and land on his hip, and broke his leg. Smooth move. paramedics came, show ended, i watched Predator for the second time today on satellite tv and now im back in my bunk with the Wings family.
Here are a bunch of pictures to check out. I am still in physical pain from the fall i took the other night in San Luis Obispo, and im trying to relax my mental stress that has been re-ignited since the LA show.
Just a quick update. Im finally on tour. After moving back from Los Angeles, spending about 2 months on either my mom's couch or Jim's couch or Mark's couch, now my bed is the top bunk on the drivers side of a tour bus with 9 other dudes and a miniature hairless chihuahua named Peppers. We are currently somewhere in Alabama, parked next to a Holiday Inn express so our driver can sleep till about 5am, then its off to Houston TX for a show. Last night was the first show in Orlando Fl at The Social. The set was a little rocky, being it was our first show as a full band, but all in all it was really fun. Although the crowd was weird and just kinda stood there.... it was sold out though, so i cant complain!
Dont Forget....

Vision Of Disorder. Also known as VOD. This was the first band i saw at my first hardcore show in 1994. I was instantly hooked. The aggression, the sound, the energy, the crowd singing along. It was a new world, and i wanted in. From the first time seeing them, i knew i had to see them again. So, my years in high school, and college, i did all i could to see VOD where ever they played, on Long Island, Rhode Island, Boston, wherever. The experience of a VOD show is never duplicated. Its a feeling that i hope i get to feel at least a few more times before VOD "officially" call it quits.
They played on Long Island last night at the Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale. As usual, it was bonkers, and i felt like i was back in 1994 again. CLICK HERE for more VOD pictures
I've often wondered about the demons coming in the pale skirts of midnight, I never really paid much attention to them though. I knew they were coming (and they came). And it made me sick to see myself all broken down, couldn't get a grip, on my dour self, as I slipped into a state of disbelief... Don't even think for a second, don't you put your filth and guilt on me, don't you put your filthy hands on me, don't you say you ever believed in me when you did nothing but lead me.... Into a forest of nothing but darkness with no thought regardless of my heart relentless, Processed... Something is broken and I can't recover, I saw the waves were crashing, my arms were bleeding, my eyes deceived me, my eyes will bleed... To trust and to sleep, to trust, to deceive, never in my life have I ever felt such, desperation... Progressed... Never felt so alone, I couldn't face tomorrow, because the sting of today, has left me here in dismay. Under the sheets of green, just recollecting, I told myself, never shed a tear for you and those who are alike, and so I turned away. And I never look back... Something is broken and I can't recover... So I saved myself from your fuckin' misery, that lingers reputed relation, I'm falling to function, because of temptation, we should fuck ourselves... Don't talk to me about your love...
My mom told me she had a couple bikes in the back yard shed. I had been contemplating buying a bike for the past 2 weeks, and almost dropped over 400 bucks for a new Schwinn. But, i got to my moms this afternoon and decided to check out the bikes she told me she had. Sure enough, this was in the shed, waiting for me. It hasnt been used in years, but my mom had a new seat, new tires and routine tune up-s done every couple years. I took it out, cleaned it, oiled it up, inflated the tires, and adjusted the seat, and sure enough, ive got a bike! Its a Basso "Salsa" according to the words on the bike, but i cant find anything on the web about it. I need to adjust the handlebars and breaks, and get new pedals. Its a 14 speed racing bike with a nice Shimano gear set on it as well as nice Shimano breaks. I took it out for a quick ride, and this beats spending over $400 bucks anyday, This is a nice pick me up to a weird day.
I pay way more money than i should to just exist in terms such as " bandwidth" "gigabytes" and "domain names". So, i just wanted to make an open invitation for everyone who visits this blog, to check out my actual website:
I finally got this album today. She & Him "Volume One". It's incredible.
"Sentimental Heart" (i believe that is the disease i have been struck with)
Cried all night 'til there was nothin' more What use am I as a heap on the floor?
Oh what can you do with a sentimental heart
Cried all night 'til there was nothin' more What use am I as a heap on the floor? Heaving devotion but it's just no good taking it hard just like you knew I would
O-o-old habits die hard when you got, when you got a sentimental heart Piece of the puzzle, you're my missing part Oh what can you do with a sentimental heart?
Cried all night 'til there was nothin' more What use am i as a heap on the floor Heaving devotion but it's just no good Taking it hard just like you knew I would
O-o-old habits die hard When you got, when you got a sentimental heart Piece of the puzzle, I'm your missing part Oh what can you do with a sentimental heart? Oh what can you do with a sentimental heart? Oh what can you do with a sentimental heart?
