hello all, i've been quite busy as of late and things are about to get a lot busier. i've decided to move to seattle to be with the girlfriend and it's going to be a royal pain in the ass to get licensed there. i'll be retaking state board exams, practical and written, but i will survive. of course there is the whole finding a place to work and live business. i hate moving and finding a job but love makes you do nutty things.
burning man was amazing... i'm going back from now on. i don't think my girlfriend wants to go every year but she doesn't seem to mind me going alone. i'm not sure how much i really participated but i guess my whole life is spent in a dust devil such the ones on the playa so i didn't feel a real need to dive into everything. but it was beautiful. one of the things that so impressed me the most was seeing people at there best without some tragedy to force them to be nice to each other. in the five days that i was there and with twenty-five thousand or more people i only ran into one asshole... interesting. i suppose i missed out on some of the bad things like poeple leaving bikes behind and what not. next year i promise to stay longer and help clean up afterwards. i finished the two songs i was "comissioned" to work on by my girlfriend and my friend ted; the former wanted a country song while the latter needed a hip-hop song for his little brother. i've finally been getting a chance to work on my own stuff again... i have a song of epic proportions going right now that is pretty cool, it clocks in at a little over nine minutes. i was inspired by the new sasha cd it's a bunch of remixes and it's freakin' brilliant. so i heard some of the stuff he was doing effects wise and thought, "i wanna try that". so i started writing a song that i could use a lot of synth and procduction techniques to make it really trippy... big fun. i've been working on it for almost two weeks and i still havn't finished programming the drums. the trouble is it keeps evolving but i have a goal so the tinkering is being kept to a minimum. i think that's it for now, remember kids aristotle said "a life unexamined isn't worth living", so write, write, write.
