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).
