A little quick for an update? Sure, or not…who knows when the next one will come, and I got thoughts now. I’m listening to some sick ass Maiden minus Bruce Dickenson, and loving it. My buddy Chris Bronson Dj’s for this local station in Turner, OR, on KMUZ 88.5 FM. Every once in a while, I get to listen and he never disappoints. Tonight’s theme has been live tracks…Priest, Maiden, Scorpions…good shit…I’m sitting in this bare bones hotel room, and loving every minute of it. 3 California Kings, bare walls (I always hate the stupid shit they pass for art… Continue Reading →

Just got done knocking a few layers of dirt off my ass via constant hot water with steady psi in a dimly lit stall. I’m gonna soak up this two days of luxury all that I can. Although, I’m thinking it might be a good idea to try to brush my teeth every day from here on out. I’ve got degenerative gums hitting me from both sides of the family and after brushing, it feels like someone took sandpaper and a razor blade to my bottom lip. Could be the result of always chewing on my pick before and after… Continue Reading →

I don’t think anything is worse than the last 24 hours when you have no where to be, not much left to do, and all you want is to be on the road. I’m glad Jeff lives in a warehouse, last night Pam and I were up all night, she was folding, counting, and labeling about 200 tshirts as I was working on locking in dates and other last minute shit. Pretty stoked that I turned a 60w combo amp, 2000w cab, 400w head, and my black Ibanez bass into a 35 pound, 500w GK within’ a matter of hours… Continue Reading →

The world I leave behind, now is nothing more Than a lit and flickered candle on a distant fading shore Filled with smiles, tears, memories, and all that lead to now Who I’ll be if I return is who ever I allow The girl that’s forged from lessons learned and turns along the road Is now a woman strong, determined, as she runs again a path unknown If black dogs run across the sea and carry me away, Please understand, I love you all. It’s the most important I can say. For I know not what lies ahead Other than… Continue Reading →

I’m not going to say that I don’t bitch, because I do. I think everyone needs a way to vent out the frustrations of whatever is pissing them off throughout the day, but if you’re bitching about the same thing on the daily and not doing anything about it, then shut the fuck up because no one wants to hear it. So with that said, I’m going to commence to bitching, and while I do so, I’m also going to continue to focus on my goals and get shit done. Because no matter how hard shit gets, I still put… Continue Reading →

Let’s not talk about the nights we cry ourselves to sleep Keep in mind the love we share and trust I’ll see you soon Nothing is gained without sacrifice And they say I’m living the dream

In 3 days from now, I will be on the road, Eastern bound. Saying that I am excited would be an understatement. This last Saturday, I celebrated my 30th birthday, and it was wonderful. It was, by far, the best birthday party I’ve ever had. It felt good to celebrate with folks I went to high school with, some I’ve recently met, and all in between. I was overwhelmed with so much joy, but mostly excited because I fucking made it. Here’s to 30 years without a prison sentence, here’s to 30 years without dying in a horrific car crash,… Continue Reading →

…but when I get angry these days, I get more motivated. I leave in exactly 2 weeks. My heart is racing, the pressure is on…let’s go. On another note, I had a pretty awesome time driving and hauling gear for 13 Scars over this last 5 day excursion, which I referred to as my American, Heavy Metal Weekend. Seriously, it was a fucking blast. It’s the first band I traveled with/worked for where no one was trying to fuck me, everyone knows their roles, and we all just do what we do and it fits. I didn’t have to worry… Continue Reading →

Broke up with my girlfriend via email, so it ends the way it began…via email. I think I’m done dating people in general. I mean as far as actively seeking out anyone outside of mine and Dan’s relationship. I have a hard time communicating what I mean, and even when I try really hard to send out a clear message, it always gets twisted. She said if I really cared, I would’ve done it face to face. I’m not sure if that means really cared about her as a person, really cared about the last 6 months that we’ve been… Continue Reading →

This is a continuation from my previous blog. So if I’m not working and I’m up into the wee hours of the morning, it usually means that it’s time to start writing. This is what I like to call a “brain dump”. If I can’t sleep and my brain is too fried to focus on my work, then something must be on my mind. So I start a free write, which usually starts out as a small Facebook post, and if it gets too big for a small paragraph, then it becomes a blog entry. By the time I’m done,… Continue Reading →
