Left out and burnt out

You try and try and try to make things the way you want them but in the end it's never what you thought it would be. I once said "don't have expectations of people because you will always be let down". And I 100 percent stand behind that statement. You build relationships with coworkers, school mates and random people you encounter only to hold them to a standard they could never live up to. You might go out of your way for someone to do something nice or show you care and in the back of your mind you will say " They would do the same for me". Well god damn it, prove it. Step up do something because when push comes to shove life is short and if you don't make the best of every second then your one person with one oar in a row boat, you will go in circles until the rain comes and washes you away. Thank god for my wife, I know i always have someone to row me ashore.

Music

This is the purest form of fun you can have! A 21st century 1 man band! You gotta love electronics. This is a few tracks of guitar looped on a boss dd6 and playing live drums over it. If anyone has this pedal and has not messed with the loop function please do it is amazing!!!

Living in the shadows of a guitars and vocals!

I have been doing quite a bit of playing over the last few months. For thosw of you who don't know this and for that matter who are reading this, Im a musician! I love all things musical i play like 7 instruments the main three being drums guitar and bass in that order. But in my extensive journey down this musical road I have had the pleasure of playing with some really great people. Some of which have being inspiring, educational, and truly a pleasure to play with. But.... and when i say but its a very big but, There have been some of which i would love to forget. I could take this opportunity to trash the hell out of all the lame singers or lead happy guitar players I have worked with but that would be to easy. Entering a new stage in my life i have tried to reflect on the bad and pull something positive out of it. This is what I have come up with, all those incredibly crap filled note junkies have in common is playing for the wrong reasons. Weather they thrive on the attention or think they are goods gift to the instrument they all use music for themselves to stroke their egos! Music is a form of expression and communication and if what you choose to communicate is " Look at me and how good I am " Then join a modeling agency, do cocaine and have your life broadcasted on The E channel because true lovers of music don't give a damn about your ego. If you think this is just some rant heres a test. Find your favorite song, I don't care who it's by our how long ago you heard it. In that song I am going to bet there is no 10 min guitar solo or a singer talking about how big their house is or how many "Bitches they got!". Odds are its a simple song with some great story being told that connects you to a good time in your life. Because thats what music is a channel to a memory or a feeling inside. When people start figuring that out we will have a bunch of great records and i will turn they radio on again. But until then Its me and my ipod friends forever.

I want this dog


You ever go to someone's house a friend or relative maybe who has a pet? You ever fall in with that pet and want to steal it? Has that pet ever been your mother-in-laws? Well thats the pickle I got myself into. Her name is molly and man is she a chilled out dog. She is in love with my fiance jennie and I and i would love nothing more then to take her to my new home in a few months, but I think that is an impossibility. You see the dog also belongs to jennies younger sister casey who is 10 and happens to be quite the lovely little girl herself. So i truly believe that i have no choice but to say goodbye to my good friend in a few months and just hope and pray that we get a pup who is half as amazing as my girl molly!
