Moved out of residence .. thank god. Im just not cool enough for those people. Although first semester was fun .. sex, drugs and rock and roll... I found myself being ostracized and outcasted during my second semester stay at residence. Mostly because the people I knew weren't comming back second semester and all that was left were the really arrogant snot kids who thought they were hot shit. Oh well.. enough of that part of my life, just another tally in the reasons why I don't think very highly of myself.
.... but anyways. My computer or at least my internet access was fucked after the move. But all I had to do was re-set my proxy settings so that the residence ISP wasn't my ISP .......
moving on
Even When Empty Studio Update: I CAN"T SING ... yep .. can't do it. I can scream like a pro ... like a fucking pro. Probably the best in the GTA. However the guy recording us finally convinced Jamie and Mark and Mike that waiting for me to pick up the ability to sing and clean up my melodies was not worth the time... and their talking with this rob guy who runs 8 different music companies out here also gave them that perspective. However Rob at least thinks that with this line-up we have a shot at something and we have potential. He personally gave us a spot on a music fest that he had declined some 50 other bands that tried out.
but anyway in regards to my position I have been delegated to just screaming vocals and occasional singing. On the demo thats comming out there will be a lot more singing than there will be in future efforst.. at least on my part. Mike who has an opera resonating voice and Jamie whos voice is not as strong as mine but is cleaner than mine are going to sing now. le sigh ... I really thought I could do it.. now I have a few occasional notes between screaming.
what kills me is that all the progress I've made with these guys, starting out as a know-nothing kid singing along to the radio who could only really sing someone elses melodies to someone that they felt good about having as their singer, is all for nothing as I am not given the chance to improve. Maybe in the distant future as we progress.
at least Im still in the band I guess. Mark our other guitar player is gonna try singing too... to me that feels like a slap in the face because he has always said he couldn't sing and didn't want to because he knew he couldn't and now .. hey lets put a mic in front of him becaused .. "well it can't be worse than scattershot" what the fuck!!
oh well. Nothing really great happening in my life right now. Im going to see thursday and poison the well soon which will be good. Also going to see a local band called The Bog who have taken an interest in Even When Empty and want us to open for them on a number of shows. Their singer is a girl who can scream pretty good too... we might have to have a contest. Jamie says "You could definatley fuck her if you wanted to ... she was talking about you for a long time after our first show" hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm although I saw her briefly once and she looked really small and young. which would not be cool you know ... by that I mean she looks like a 12 year old.
update on the scanner: (for those that want to know) it would appear that I have been hustled with this .. although I didn't really pay anything, I was given a scanner without an installation disc. So I guess if he wants his 50 dollars as per the deal he'll have to bring me that installation disc. Then I can start scanning things like madness.
thats it for now
