That time is upon us once again, in which, we descend upon our little lovecraftion burg known as seattle! Yes, as it is every Halloween, Glenn or Glennda? is once again appearing for one night only, to bring you it's gender-bending twist on the misfits. Also joining us this year is the dead vampies, event staph, and poop attack.

What up!

Things are on the up and up. Work is getting better, music is being written on multiple levels, and debt is getting paid...slowly but surely.

There are the usual lows; I'm still single, still out of shape, blah blah blah....however, I just don't give a shit right now. I'm feeling good about the vibe around me right now, so the plan is to just capitalize on that and move even further forward.

and plus my birthday is coming up this month and it will hopefully be a rock-n-roll, alcohol fuiled weekend. Portland is always the way to go for birthday celebrations!

i'm out.

I keep wondering if I've taken a wrong turn somewhere. I am adrift in a sea of relationships and feeling like I have no friends that I can relate with right now. All of them happy or conent in their relationship and me still single, with no one to talk to. I feel like there this giant fucking wall in front of me and I have no clue as how to scale it or break through it. I find myself wondering shit like, " is this is it? Is this the point in which all of my friends move on to start their real lives and i
Fall behind?". I can't even think how to go about meeting new people right now. I mean I'm turning 30 this year, and the bar scene is looking more and more incestious and gross. I dunno...I need to find something soon though.

Bitch bitch, moan moan.

well hello there,

Alright then, new things since I last wrote:

A. the shwillers are actively playing music again; we've written 2 new songs and found a new bass player (we think). We should return to playing shows sometime in late July or Early August (we hope). We are planning on writing a whole new set of material before we play our again, because really, the people who have seen us play the past couple years have been hearing the same goddamn songs, so it's time for something new. Expect a little less punk and a little more rock. I'm feeling more sane everyday we practice; almost 6 months of not playing out regularly really got my chi out of whack.

B. Job is getting better. I got a promotion and a raise, which was nice. I am officially the lead for my department....I have no idea what that entails, being that my supervisors haven't given me a job description detailing what they expect out of me now. I just do what I've been doing and on top of that, i try to look for ways to make our area more efficient and better integrated with the other departments in our facility. I guess that is working for them....I feel like such a adult right now....it sucks.

c. home life is not cool. You know the saying, it just takes one bad apple? Yea, well, it just takes one bad roommate to take what was once an ideal living situation and just make it the most miserable place to be. The funny thing is, it's not him acting out or being violent; I would almost rather it were; i'd just throw his out then. No, it's him being all mopey and sad and drunk all the time and not working on top of it; nobody wants to be around him, so when we are home, we all hang out in our rooms, so no one has to deal with him. Lame way to be living, especially at this age.

d. Been trying to meet some new females, to get back out there. It's difficult...I'm very much a quiet guy, so I really don't like the whole hitting on women thing at bars. It's never been my thing, and I hate doing it...so I rarely do. I don't know have I ended up meeting my exes...it always seems like it's a random chance meeting. If you would have told me when I first met my most recent ex, that four or so months after we met, we'd be dating, I would have laughed at you. I did go out with a girl a couple weeks ago, and while we hung out most of the day, I just didn't feel any spark from her. We talked the whole time, and weren't ever a loss for conversation, which is really rare when meeting someone you don't know. However, I just never got any spark, or any signals from her....just no flirtation at all. Oh well, hopefully we'll hang out again, and maybe something will happen, who knows....she is a cool girl, so that would be swell.

e. I bought a new guitar finally! A year after some asshole broke into our practice space and stole our shit, I have a new baby. She's an unfinished burnt brown Gibson SG. She rocks and I can't wait to play her out of my mesa boogie.

well, that's it for now kids......oh, wait, I saw some movies recently too.....forgetting sarah marshell (really funny....a lot of unexpected frontal male nudity though), Iron Man (come on, how could I not love this), and last but not least, Zombie Strippers (I think the title says it all).



l8r sk8r

it's pretty rad when people express disdain or anger towards you in a blog...a private one at that...instead of talking to you. Actually, I find it humorous. What's even more humorous about the situation is, the person spewing drama at me, isn't even involved in the situation. A) what's going on between me and my friend is none of their damn business B) what exactly would make someone whom is not my friend, rather a friends girlfriend, think I give two shits about their opinion. It's just stupid. My friend and I will be perfectly fine down the road, no one else need worry about it.

Anyway... we played the grand opening weekend of KING COBRA last friday, with andriod hero, bucklin and fucking NEUTRALBOY bitch! WOW! What a fucking show. It was hands down the best show that I have ever had the opportunity to play. I think we had around 375 people in attendance, maybe more. For us that was huge, and I have never had so many people coming up to me after our set. It was weird and a little flustering. I got a lot of positive reviews from people whom I had not ever met before, which was very encouraging.

Unfortunetly, we still don't know what exactly we are doing with the band. That show very well may have been the last show we play. We're getting together Friday to talk about it.

Anyway...I need to meet some new people, I.E. ladies. I really need to get over my ex. I have no idea why she made such an impact on me...well i do, but...our relationship was only like six months...but she got to me. I need to meet some kick ass women, so that I can have that feeling again. It'd be nice to be reminded that there are cool girls out there that aren't looking to simply crush my will.

Ok, that's enough for now. Hope you are people are doing well.

ok...so it has been a little bit since a posting on my part.

So far, 2008 has not been the change from the shittiness of 2007 that I was hoping for. Then again, 2007 started out decently enough, so maybe it will take untill the summer for things to rock.

Here is a list of things not making life so awesome right now:

-Work. My job is really sucking the life out myself and everyone I work with. It's damn shame when a nice Ma and Pa shop turns into a corporate hellhole. Don't get me wrong, profits and growth are great and it's what we all strive for in business, but when the atmosphere in the workplace becomes regimented, stifling and loses that relaxed, comfortable vibe, it justs sucks. I've got new managers breathing down my neck, who have never done my job, but think they can tell me when work should be done and how long maintaince on my machine takes. And when I tell them the actual deal on what my job entails, they just give me a look like they think I'm making shit up. It's frustrating. I know how to do my job, and I do it really well. Get off my goddamn back and let me do my fucking job!

-ex girlfriend. ohvey. Well, The past three months have really sucked, because I still loved the girl and wanted nothing more than to fix things with her. All I got in return though was a lot of confusion. Never really got an answer as to why she ended things; although things are becoming clearer now. Turns out she's been dating someone at her work for awhile now, and I have a sneaking suspicion that she was seeing him during the final weeks of our relationship. That sucks to think about, but I've thankfully able to get over her the past couple weeks, so the sting isn't as bad as it could be. I can't do anythng to change things, so I decided I needed to stop torturing myself and not allow myself to access those feelings I have for her. So far so good. I had drinks with her a couple of days ago and didn't feel anything. I didn't freak out and go into a tirade and yell....which is good, cause now I can move on. Do I still care about her? yes. Do I wish things had turn out different? sure. Am I still attracted to her? of course. but, no sense in making self feel like shit about everything.

-band. yea....very frustrating times. So we just started playing shows again for the first time in five months and things are just as weird and messed up as ever. Last week, we had to ask our bass player (and my best friend) to leave the band. That was hard and really painful to do...I mean he's been my friend since I was sixteen. It was like stabbing the guy in the heart; I felt like such an asshole. But it had to be done. His playing on the bass was just not where it should be, and it felt like he was doing nothing to get better. On top of that, we still have no idea what we're doing after this show on Friday. We may not even continue playing. Yea, so one day at a time I guess.

Well, there is a small list. Naturally, there are other things, but no need to make this blog that long. Anyway, anyone who is reading this, please come on down to the KING COBRA this Friday 29th. My band, Rain City Shwillers is playing the official opening weekend of KING COBRA along with NEUTRALBOY, Andriod Hero and Bucklin. It's going to be awesome, so please make it down.

hey.............i'm fine. that's about it. back again.....and doing decent. I probably shouldn't ask for more than that.....it's a total lie of course. Life is an up and down roller coaster, but really trying to focus on the positive things.....and trying to not think about what my ex is up to right now. damn women. anyway....doing decent.

ok, so my court trial got dismissed....by the opposing attorney. Apparently, my actually showing up to court really damaged their case, in that I would actually be able to point out to the judge that I have never heard of the company sueing me, nor did I receive information from them that I requested months ago. Fucking scam artists. They were counting on me not showing up or something, i dunno. Anyway, I didn't have to pay 1500 dollars, which is good.

Life is calm....for now. No telling when things will start to get....interesting. Just sit back and chill for now and soak up the sun, so to speak.

yes a new blog. I'm getting sued; not awesome, but nothing I can do about it. That's my exciting news. and you?
