It's amazing how quickly things can happen. I received a phone call the Friday before last telling me my sister had a large brain tumor and that it was bad. I drove 5 hours to get to her thinking the worst. Surprisingly, she showed no outside signs anything was wrong, but we were given a dire prognosis: inoperable and she could litterally drop dead any...

I go through this every summer, well, vacation for that matter. I start off really ambitious and work like a mad man thinking I'm going to get a lot done and then by July I'm usually burned out. One week in and I'm still doing well. I'm prepping classes for next year (I have to teach 3 new courses) and I've set a goal of...

I thought I was getting fat, so I went on a diet last Thursday. I have pretty good willpower and I eat pretty clean anyway, so it's not a big deal. I little self-inflicted misery is good for you. After a couple of days, I get nauseos when I do eat, so that makes it easy, but I hate feeling tired. What I'm thinking now...

Geez, I haven't updated in a while. Haven't had anything to talk about I guess. I've had a serious case of GAS (gear aquisition syndrome) so that has taken up a lot of my time; new amplifiers, guitars, etc. I have finally been able to work on my tan now that the weather has broke. Other than that, pretty much business as usual.

Played my first gig in almost a year last night. We had a better than expected crowd and there was a lot of energy so things went really well. I made a few mistakes, but I doubt they were noticable. Mostly due to the sheer volume of music I had to memorize (18 songs in 3 weeks), and the fact that I rewrote a lot...

You ever go through a phase where no matter how much you sleep you are always tired? I'm in that phase right now. I'm tired all day long. I prefer the phase where I only need 3 hours of sleep. You sure can get a lot done, but it does get kind of boring. I tend to get like that when I am taking chem...

Arrrg! I've been trying to get back into a band for 3 months now, I finally do and it is killing me!
You know how you want something really bad and when you finally get it, you burn yourself out on it? That's what I have done in that last 2 weeks. I've been playing about 1 1/2 hours a day (I know that isn't...

I have few vices. I don't smoke or drink. No fried foods, red meat rarely, very few sweets. I still drink way too much coffee, but I did kick my Pop Tart habit. One thing I haven't been able to shake is the buying guitars habit. I spend WAY too much $ on guitars, but I just have to have them. Someone please make me...

Woo-Hoo! I'm a professional musician again. Just got a gig with ESF in Ferndale. These guys do all original stuff and it is killer. First gig is May 8th at Club Bart in Ferndale. Everyone everywhere is invited. It's a Monday so I know you have nothing else to do. I'll even let you see my tattoos! Although, I usually play shirtless so I guess...

OK, half-way through my vacation and I'm starting to get bored. Got my tatoo, lifting weights, running, riding my bike, studying...OCD getting pretty bad. Don't believe me? Try to find a spec of dust in my apartment or car. Doesn't look like anyone lives here or drives me car. Have found some cool new music to listen to though. The new Placebo is pretty good,...
