That Really Is It.

Alright, at the risk of sounding redundant, I'm done here. Reason: I'm managing my band's site on myspace from now on and it's taking up tons of time. The Dirty Little Rock Band in Birmingham, AL. Look me up. You'll even get to see some photos. Have fun and don't loose me. If you're real good I'll even give you my personal e-mail. Keep up the good work folks. Good to know you all.

More Storms, More Crack

Well, that storm that I was so worried about turned out just fine. Now, of coarse we have another one blowing through right now. Fun, fun, fun. On another note, I finally broke down and joined internet crack...I mean, My Space. I actually set one up for my band. It's still brand new so, music isn't on it yet and I haven't posted any photos. Soon though, soon. If everybody's real good I'll even tell you where it is. Wish me luck.

HELP! I'M BEING BLOWN AWAY!

As I write there is a storm with the intensity of Hell's fury blowing through Birmingham. Trees, power lines, telephone poles, mobile homes, squirels, compact cars, store signs, school children, UFOs, newscasters, monkeys, clowns, Jahova's wittnesses, they're all being blown through town like pollen. It's creepy. You know, now that I think about it, I should probably do this later in case the power goes out and deletes this before I can post it. I'll tell ya'll about it after the natural holocaust is over.

A New Start

03.09.06 (12:35 am)   [edit]
So, how is everybody? Been a while. Regardless, so much has changed with me as of the past month, I feel like a new man. Where to start? Well, I might as well begin with what made me decide to write tonight. My band lost our drummer and replaced him with a professional and long time friend. We had our first rehearsal with him tonight and I am officially reminded of why I love rock n' roll. It can be the stupidest music, with the dumbest lyrics and the most predictable chord progressions and yet, if you turn the volume up enough and put your heart and hips into it and it's genuinely powerful. Add some people with some real talent and experience and it is truly magic. You folks (if any of you are still out there) have heard...er...read, me say it before. Rock n' roll is the bastard son of country and western and rhythm and blues. While the Beatles proved that it can be more than the some of it's parts, those are the basic, bare bones ingredients. After spending so much time trying to get so many child musicians to comprehend this and set aside their Nirvana records, it was genuinely nice to play with someone who understood how to add some spice to the dish without overpowering the recipe. Beautiful. Lovely. Religious. Speaking of which, if you haven't checked out a web site called "The Holy Church of Rock N' Roll", do it. Do it today. It's like someone handing you the Holy Grail filled with George Dickle and a beautiful chic's phone number written on the side. On another note, I started seeing someone. Yes, it's true. My long celibacy streak is over. She's ridiculously young but, she's a musician, she's fun and she's much more nice to me than I deserve. It hasn't been going on for very long and I don't think it's going to turn into anything incredibly serious but, so far, it's been really, really nice. Now, if I can just teach her to be better in bed than she actually thinks she is. Okay, part of it is because I've been having prostate problems but, that's not all there is to it. She's also one of those women that refuses to let go. Outside of that, she's really great and I'm pretty happy about it. We'll see. In other news, I am looking, yet again, for a new job. My current one is only two blocks from my house and it's not all that ...unenjoyable? Is that a word? Regardless, I'm not making enough and their screwing me on my taxes. Again, we'll see. So, how's everyone else?
