2008: In Review

Out with the old, in with the new.

2008

New relationships. Making new friends. Moving home to home. Fresh music. Booking shows. Making money. Losing money. Driving highway. Meeting up with strangers. Out of town shows. Fighting kids. Hitting things. Getting piss drunk. …

It's Beginning To Look Nothing Like Christmas

This is the first Christmas in a long while where temperatures haven't dropped to a ridiculous level, at least by Florida standards. While money not be present, and gifts may not be plenty, but the joy of Christmas is still there, with every tinted street light, and …

One Long Year

As of today, I've been with Kathrine Annette Wells for exactly a year. It's been a very long, strenuous year, but I'm happy to say I've made it through all the rough times. Homeless again, broke again, jobless again, but I've always had her love, and that's all I ever …

Thank You Wendy's,

for plaguing my mind with thoughts of Crispy Chicken and Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers. I missed what is possibly the most important moment of my life tonight, the projection of Barack Obama as the United States President-elect, and McCain's graceful recession speech. …

A Lack of Pictures

Has always plagued me, or maybe it's the lack of a decent camera. No, anything will do, I can make up for lack of quality with abundance of photoshop skills. So what is it then, am I too lazy, too self-conscious, or maybe just too uninterested in my own life to document …

Back To The Grind

It's finally time I returned to normal working hours. I woke up promptly at 8:30 this morning, hitting the "office" by 9AM. It's been a long time since I've been this productive, but it feels good to finally get some old projects out of the way. It seems like these …

Septum

pierced it tonight, 12g, didn't hurt as much as everyone said it would. I'll try to get some pictures up sometime soon.

False Death Cap

So while I was away in Orlando this past week, I was informed that my now 6 month old puppy ingested what we originally thought was a Death Cap Mushroom. From what I was told it was a Faerie Ring Mushroom, or Destroying Angel Mushcroom, type 3. I have no idea what any …

Guest Blogging at Badtofu.com

Just a quick update, I've been doing some guest blogging over at my good friend Eric Johnson's site, badtofu.com, writing about everything from fashion to toys. If you want to keep up with me a bit more, and read some out of the norm stuff, head over there, bound to be …

I Claim No Creator.

I'm free of the influence of any god, or any type of higher power. I've never believed in any sort of god, and whether this is my downfall or not, it doesn't worry me, because I honestly believe that I cannot be harmed by what I don't believe in. Or in other words, if …

Trajan Pro.

I never realized how beautiful a typeface it was until I began using it on my own personal profile. When it comes to serif fonts, this is definitely my new favorite, and will probably replace Georgia in many of my upcoming projects. It just has such an elegant feel, …

Anti-Social.

The more I use this 'social media' theme, the more driven I am to be anti-social. The idea of having every little thing I do tracked in one place is a little frightening, but I suppose if people wanted to know so bad, they wouldn't have a hard time tracking down the …

Zapp Came Early.

Zapp came a day early, while I was out at Scream The Prayer.

A Drug Free Lifestyle.

School's ended. My Senior year, gone in a heartbeat, and now there's nothing left to do but slack until college. Sure, I've been working like crazy, but the free time I've had will eventually become my downfall. I've fallen back into the rut of drugs and alcohol. I've …

Captain Zapp Brannigan.

Every time I've ever made a trip to the pound, I've left with an animal, whether that was my intention or not. When I was 11 I took home three brothers, pure bred German Malinois'. I've always enjoyed the company of a dog to the intelligence of a cat, which is the …

Downtime.

I'm breaking everything down, working on a new design, new portfolio, new everything. With this new look, you may find a decrease in blogging. All my attention is towards business. Success is key.

Politics.

It' about that time. I'll be 18 on July 21st, making me legally able to vote in the upcoming 2008 Elections. I've been weighing my options carefully, but what it all boils down to is who the Democrats select as their presidential candidate.

Barack Obama, who's now won …

The Arm Continues.

The Other Boleyn Girl hit theatres this past week, and as a major fan of European History i went out to see what all the fuss was about. For the most part, from what I've been told, the movie was mostly accurate. Scarlett Johansson did an amazing job as Mary Boleyn, …
