so i have been writing alot lately. my myspace is proof. i rarely do anything but lurk on this livejournal thingy, somehow its lack of buttons and sound and other things someone somewhat ADD requires leaves me feeling a bit bored. but i think i get it. tonighs ramble is fueled by redbull, ADD, and weeds.
today i rode my bike a long way (out to lakewood). it was fucking great. traveling with a messenger bag, a big bottle of water and an ipod is the way to go. I made it through the whole Cancer Conspiracy disc today (thanks jason/jack). Those guys are amazing. Post-rawk/proggy stuff with piano, sax, synths, geetar bass and drums. I like it alot, it is more subtle (ie: less grandioise) than something like, lets say explosions in the sky, whom i love, but there is something to be said about subtle. if you are reading this, you should go out and get/buy/steal/aquire/procure the Cancer Conspiracy.
i went to denver ted's for a cheesesteak with kimberley after my ride. a cheesesteak sandwich is my new guilty pleasure, they could kill me, but i figure after 12 years of being vegan/vegitarian a little bit (er, a ton) of cholesterol wont kill me, esp with my new hobby.
i probably kinda mostly sucked to hang out with cause i was soo damn pooped, i ate, and muttered/mumbled some stuff about my day. i am sure that when i get old i am gonna sound like ozzy osbourne, and will require close captioning.
it is weird to hear about kim upset about our breakup one day and then all flirty with some boy a few days later. not weird in a bad way. but weird nonetheless
fuck, more power to her, awesome. it is nice to not be a major source of distress.
what else?
drunk people @ shows really piss me off. i have been drunk @ several shows (more than i can count on all my fingers and toes) but never like some of the shit that i witness @ the 3kings tavern when working a weekend show. people just got no respect. i dont feel like getting into the details, but they are crappy.
ok, i think i am done. i got home drank alot of water and a pabst tall boy. im hoping that that will take the redbull edge off enough for me to fall asleep. |

ok i woke up at 9:00 to the sound of jason tedford on the phone confirming that he will be in town for caribou... i looked outside and it was freaking snowing.
i needed to move my car (which was in 2 hour parking overnight) so i got out of the house and headed over towards it (only 7 blocks away). on the way there i get a call from a coworker who is near death sick, not good.
so instead of a day off today i am on call,so i wrote
This
to pass the time.
more to come later. |

or am i? this livejournal thingy... i dunno about it.
lemme see, the last post was almost a year ago.
i am single for the first time in years. and living in a relatively new city that i love. i have a job that i love and i have a job that pays the bills. not much is different otherwise, ok thats a lie, everything is different and shiny and new! well, not so shiny... being alone is a very different perspective.
wow. i ramble.
maybe i will come back to this. |

so as of late i've been messing around w/ producing trancey- ebm/electro/industrial-ish tracks. nothing in the completed form (all but one that is instrumental), but somefairly good raw ideas (mainly cause my voice is waaay to nasal for the gothy-industrial thing). im considering having a go @ the proper EBM "band" thing (ie: get more serious about it and begin collaborating with other musicians).
now, where to find them.....
this may not be so easy. |

So here i find myself with another job at a bookstore. The Tattered Cover to be exact, the prior one was Borders (that was in TPA). I've only been there one day (training... like ALL day) but it seems like a good place to work. I'll be working at the Colfax location (within walking distance from my apt) it used to be a theatre, its an amazing space, especially for a bookstore. I just wish i could take over the place for a day to record drums there (the acoustics are phenomenal). Total John Bonham hugeness of percussion is within reach! Otherwise, it's been being poor and spending a whole lotta time in front of the TV, PS2 controller. Oh yeah, i wrote a new song, very EBM-y i was kinda trying to prove a point in that VNV Nation really lacks talent and that one could use a single application to re-create what they do, i succeded, sprinkle a little bit o ronan harris over the top and you have a VNV Nation track. 266mHz (correction 600mHz), 128meg of ram and a bit o synthesis/sequencing knowlege is all it takes to be signed as an "industrial" act these days :sigh: where did all the good bands go?!? |

|
| an arrival... of sorts. |
[Aug. 10th, 2006|05:21 pm] |
so, i have arrived. after 3 days of driving (long days...) I'm here in Denver. It's been 2 days since we've arrived and still no movers with our stuff. Sleeping on an air matress isn't so fun and it is fucking HOT! i guess Florida is bigger on air conditioning (which makes sense).
I need to find a job, like ASAP! Moving isn't cheap and the movers are charging us an additional $400 because they cant fit the semi down out street and will have to transfer our stuff to a shuttle to get it to our apt (bastards).
...and it is incredibly strange knowing no one, i guess you take for granted after being in the same place for 15 years that you know someone almost everywhere in a city. I have my Kimberley, but thus far Denver seems more than somewhat lonely. |
