Everyone keeps reminding me that I haven’t blogged in quite awhile. I appreciate it… but I really haven’t much to say.
I am not sick anymore and I am indeed alive. Work has been hectic the past few days due to short-handedness, but that’s life in the managerial lane. I went to The Point’s open-mic the other night and MAN, WHAT A HOT TICKET THAT PLACE IS!
I really didn’t need to cap all those letters. But really, there were many standing due to over crowdedness. I used to play there when it was just a little open mic spot and you would sign up at the beginning of the night and you could play 3 songs. Now you get one and have to sign up DAYS in advance. Becky’s friend, Katie, plays most weeks as she did this week, too. Very talented girl.
Speaking of Becky, she’s doing some nice blogging. I realized something reading her latest blog… she is able to verbalize what I’ve always felt but never been able to express. Obviously she feels the same way I do (and/or *did* feel) on a lot of things like the whole schpeal on meeting expectations, but I never knew exactly why… so I couldn’t properly express why. Well, now I know that it wasn’t that I didn’t want to go to school or do the work, necessarily, I just didn’t want to be meeting those expectations — OTHER peoples expectations. They weren’t my own… they’re not what I cared about. Well, I’m still not expressing this properly so just go read hers.
Another thing I would like you to do is go HERE and download Kurt’s (Multiplying DeVille) song, Violent Violet. His album is still waiting to be printed but the recording is all done. I’m not sure if this is a final mix or not, but it’s a taste of what to expect. I honestly can’t wait for the thing to come out. I know I have a little piece of piano here and there on the thing, but it’s really his melodies and the fact that he’s doing it in ways that are so rare that really captivate me. Listen to the whole song to the end. It’s at that point that everything comes together and really starts to stick in your head. No, he hasn’t the greatest voice in the world… but it fits the part pretty well.
I’d like to do his website once he decides to get one. We’ll see.
Other than that, there’s really nothing I am privileged enough to share with you. But I will… someday soon.
And by the way, if you run into any errors on this site let me know. I was having a fuck-of-a-time with my host recently, and had to delete a million files and I *could* have accidentally taken away important things.
