As of today, I am officially back in my old pad. No longer am I living with the parents, though I appreciate them letting me stay for a while. It’s great to be back, having my old room all set up, all of my things in one place, and having all of my freedoms back. It’s especially nice to have the internet hooked directly to my computer again, so I don’t have to miss a beat anymore.
Where to start? It’s been another month since I posted last, and I hope to resume my semi-regular posting schedule. It was too much of a hassle to try and compete for internet usage at their house, so I just avoided posting. Sorry guys, but rest assured there’s more to come now.
So the biggest change in my life is I am now part of a band. A long time ago, I dated a girl. Then we broke up. After a few years we became friends again. She introduced me to her new boyfriend (now her baby’s daddy) whose name is Keith. One day while perusing myspace, he added me as a friend with his band. I listened. I liked it. Later he posted a want ad for a singer. I jokingly asked him if experience was needed, and he asked if I was interested. I was, and I went for it. I ended up going with him to the guitarist’s house which is where they practiced. They had a pretty good setup, including the ability to record. So we did our thing and I went home with a cd, including some instrumental tracks I was to put lyrics to. Homework, if you will. A couple weeks passed, and I did my homework, and then we practiced again. I have since practiced with them a couple other times, and things are all coming together quite nicely. I’m actually due to practice with them again in a couple hours. It’s been a lot of fun.
I do aspire to continue with this, I have been doing everything I can to do my part and to get shit done for the band. With any luck, we’ll be playing live shows by the summer, if not sooner. Hoping to record an EP, or possibly even a full-length within the next couple months. If anyone is interested in hearing a taste, check it out here. Keep in mind that isn’t me on the vocals, but there will be tracks uploaded with me on them soon.
Otherwise, I’ve just been working my ass off, trying my best to be the best at my job. I’ve raised a few eyebrows, and hopefully my hard work will pay off. I’m still with Ashley, and she still hasn’t done anything to piss me off. There isn’t any area in which we aren’t compatible, and it’s a little scary. She’s been great and it doesn’t look like that will change.
That’s about all I have for now. I’ll be back with more later. And sooner this time. Toodles.
