There some new karaoke pics in the folder, yo. As per usual it was a rockin' time. The kamizake song matt and i did got a little botched. But c'mon... who the fuck knows the verses to a Gloria Esteffan song????? We rocked the fuckin' chorus though, and we're gay.... very, very gay.... but not really One very good thing that happened that night was a met a potential roommate named Julia who has a townhouse in Hampden. I'm probably going to check it out tomorrow and the price is definitely right You know what that means???? I'll only be about 4 blocks from karaoke! I know what you're thinking... is karaoke on tuesdays the only fucking thing mike does??? and the answer is pretty much so yes! Being out in the country makes it a pain in the ass to drive into the city and hit up the bars, and especially after the unfortunateness with my car accident on my birthday, I've been a little more gunshy about pushing the limits if ya know what I mean.
My friend brad and I have been recording our album just about every saturday for the past month or two. Its coming together extremely well and we should be done in about another month. We're being a lot more meticulous about this one and making it as clean as possible for being done on an analog 8 track in my basement But so far so good. I'm also working on a solo ep, under the title "Goodbye, Blue Monday" its just extra songs i have or stuff that's more personal too me that I wouldn't want to put on the LFTS album. We already have a label to put it on... elise records, a small indie label out of philly that has been putting out some really cool shit. Most of the music is in the same vein we are in, the indie-folk kinda stuff -Neutral milk hotel, the good life, the decemberists, iron and wine, all the wussy fucking shit i suppose, but its what i love. I can do write symphonies and chamber music too if you want me too... i have a usless fucking bachelor of music degree in composition.. Anyone need a film score? ha you can check that stuff out at my "website" link at the bottom of my sg profile. and yes, it IS supposed to sound like that, it's avant garde classical, though I know a lot of people wouldn't really consider it "music"
Last night instead of going out and trying to find a hole to stick my dick into (j/k) i decided to stay home and read, and ended up reading an entire novel cover to cover. Its was Vonnegut's Slapstick. I read it a long time ago in high school and decided to reread it. The sad part is that it was 270 pages. I feel so fucking pathetic... its not that i feel like reading it was a waste, I guess its that I had absolutely nothing better to do with my time than read or watch tv. It hit home on a lot of subjects especially loneliness and separation. Not so much in a romantic was, because the main characters were twins, but in that way of two people completing each other... you see together the twins were true genius's, but apart they were not as smart, or amazing. I dunno where I'm going with this but all I know is that I'm still having a hard time with the break-up and I'm not fucking afraid to say it. I mean, its not easy to get over two and half years in a month and a half... i dont care who you are. Plus I wanted to take my dog for the weekend but i couldn't. My ex gave the dog to her parents in sept. because of money issues and time issues, and plus her new roommate now has 2 cats so chester wouldn't have worked out. So i called her mom but she said she didnt want to take him out of the routine and maybe in another couple i could take him. I dont think i'll even ask again because i have a feeling then she'll say that he's too into his routine and if i took him it would break him of that. The part that sort of upsets me is that they're going away this weekend and taking him along so how is that keeping in the routine??? I dindt feel like arguing or pressing the issue so I gave it. It made me extremely sad because I really thought i'd be able to have him for a couple days. i love him more than anything, and in hindsight should have kept him when I had him because i knew this was going to happen. So that sort of destroyed my one ray of salvation for the weekend. Hopefully, seeing this townhouse will pick my spirits back up... i need it.
I'm going to go run now, I'm finally running again like i used to and that fact make me extremely happy. I'm up to doing about 4 miles a day, i'm shooting for 6 in the next week or so, with a longer run on the weekend perhaps. I go on the north central railroad trail and its so beautiful that i could just keep running. If none of you baltimore guys know about it, its starts up in hunt valley on paper mill rd. and goes all the way up to york. i like it because it's very secluded and you can just run and think and look at the scenery. last week it was great because I was one of the only people stupid enough to run in the rainy, misty, shitty weather so NOBODY was around Hey charm city people... get yer ass to karaoke on tuesdays and dont even bitch to me about having to work the next day, i have to get up at 6 for that shit
