01/22/07- Addendum.

Got back from Chicago late last night. Hung out with a whole slew of cool kids I haven't really met before while there. Gave thanks to SG Madison for providing the car to transport our asses.

Had good play time with my girlie to cap off the evening.

Woke up early this morning cursing my fate of having to go in to work.

Went to work nursing liver wounds.

Did boxing workout after work, dealt with cramp in my side.

Went home. Played drums to loosen up.

Relaxed now in front of the computer.

Proper update to follow sometime this week. Mainly looking forward to my four day weekend thats coming up.





Minor Update 01/17/07:
The new Skinny Puppy album drops at the end of the month. I'm definitely excited to hear about this. I'm a big fan of the last album- its become my "roads are fucked all to hell, driving through torrential rain and explosive lightning while watching cars crash into each other" music. That and they played probably the single best small venue show I've ever seen when I saw them play here in C-Bus during the Greater Wrong of The Right Tour. I got Ogre's blood poured all down my face just after the show so that it looked like I had massive head trauma. I promptly went outside and scared the bums and then wandered into the trendy club next door to see how many girls I could hit on in this crazy looking state. Strangely enough, alot of them liked it. (Note to frat boys...the tennis visor white shoes sort of thing is sooo outdated. You should just let me kick your ass and leave you bloody....chicks will dig you. I promise.)





So here's the initial pic of what will soon be tattooed on the top right portion of my chest



This is the design for what I'm expecting to be a great piece of ink . It's been quite a long time since I've had any new ink done, and I'm looking forward to it. I'll be sure to post pics as the tattoo progresses. I probably won't get it started until the end of February, but no big deal.

And speaking of things artistic, I should be having another gallery showing this April at Stained Skin. I know I'm excited about this- I couldn't even attend the last showing that my art was at, and there was something like a thousand people there. I was sort of bummed when I found out how many people went to the showing that I could have talked to. But regardless, I plan on having a good portion of work on display at the next show for all to see. I also plan on trying to finish up a 20"x30" colored pencil piece in time for the showing...however, colored pencils take forever. We'll see how that goes...I'd like to have some brand spankin' new work to display and amaze everyone with wonder and awe...(I'm an ass)

Other than that, I'm finally getting back on track with music. I've started composing some material that I'm very happy with, and I recorded a tidbit of something today that sounds like it could be a very promising start towards the sound I have envisioned. I think that once it is completed, it will work very well with another track that is already set to go. I have a very specific sound in mind, and a definite concept and arrangement I'm trying to follow in piecing together an EP. Hopefully, I'll have a solid album together by this September (You might consider this to be a lot of time to record and album, however, when you're engineering, playing, & producing, things can take a moment.)

Now....off to eat some tacos with the girlie.



Totally fuckin random....Ben Stiller doing the robot amongst a crowd of people during the Beastie Boys' live performance at Madison Sqaure Garden....
