What's The Point Of Singing, If You Can't Sing Along




I want to be in a band again. I've been playing drums and guitars and synths lately, and it's awoken once again this fire in me. I want to create music. I'm so much more comfortable on the electric, with people around me, than I am alone in the dark with my acoustic. When I play my acoustic, and write, I always write such sad music. So simple and sad. When I was in the band before, the acoustic was just that. It was my vent for the melancholy stuff that didn't really fit in with the band. So now that's all I have. There's this whole other universe of music that I'm simply not writing now.

And I want it back.

I want to scream and thrash around and do my little dance onstage.

I want my ears to ring.

Well not really..but you know what I mean.

But it seems to be coming together again. At least I have a bunch of cool gear in my room to fuck around with now. And Mondays. I play with the guys Mondays now.

The Winter has arrived. I love it so much. I need to do Winter photography now. Too bad I'm so busy. I want that to be my job. Instead of anything else, I want to travel around and photograph the world. For a living.

I'm actually trying to allow my friends to photograph their band for their Press Kit. I'm going to do it for free. Experience is key. Although people, or bands for that matter, aren't what I like really to photograph, I think I could do them well.

They shall be my first project.

Your Taste Is My Attention




Today when I was driving I saw pictures everywhere. The setting sun, the landscape enshrouded in mist. Of course I didn't have my camera on me. That always happens. It's quite possible that I will eventually be keeping my camera with me at all times. Getting more into photography nowadays. Definitely going to pursue this passion.

Lately I've been without a cell phone. I ended my contract, and I'm getting rid of my old phone. Completely fresh start. But it's been very different not having it. I can't decide if I like it, or hate it. The isolation is almost refreshing. But it's also frustrating.

Feeling kind of ill these last few days.

Better make some tea.

Another blooming passion of mine. Tea is good.

Hyacinth Blues

Wow, I haven't been updating this at all. My life has undergone a few changes, mostly for the better.

I have a new room at this time, and Chino and Aaron have each brought their respective pieces of musical equipment over to live at my place. There's now an entire drumset upstairs that I can play on. Sweet. Unfortunately my amp decided to quit working not too long ago. I just took it to Long and McQuade in Stratford today so that they can send it away. I hope she comes back soon.

So I've got a new room, with a beer fridge. The beer fridge is the best part.

Also I've been spending time with a girl. She's pretty rad.

Besides that I work. I'm still planning on moving out too, this new room is most likely only temporary.

So those are some updates. I hope it's been informative.
