Guess who's back...
...back again
Damn I haven't updated in a long long time. Well here it goes. Lately I've been stressing over a bunch of stuff. This is the first time it's not my jobs fault. Since Sal's has been close I don't know what the hell is gonna go on now with shows. I hate playing at the Time Out Lounge. I don't know what is it about the place that doesn't get me in the mood to perform. A lot of bands have been asking me to book them but I don't wanna take them the TO. I'd rather just wait and see what happens within the next couple of months. If not "pos nimodo". I'll just concentrate on my bands. That's another thing. Being in 3 bands can get really hard sometimes. I try my best to get all 3 off the ground by practicing and playing at gigs. But sometimes it gets to me so much that I just wanna hide and be by myself. As for new Underboss news. Arturo has been doing very well as our new drummer. He still needs more practice but his dedications is awesome. I'd figure by summer time he should improve a whole lot. Al still plays too damn fast and loses control during the songs. But he always pulls it off at the shows. Sergio's guitar still bothers the hell out of me. Not loud enough and always out of tune. I still say we need a 2nd guitar player to hide all his noise. But he'll just get his heart broken I guess. Practice has been going alright sometimes. But I hate the fact that when we get together to practice it turns into a social event that I wasn't planning. It starts off as one person inviting another and before you know it there's like 7 people in my room and 5 outside. It's cool sometimes and I love them all but not every fucking night. And when it's all said and done I end up picking up all the garbage these guys leave behind. I hate the fact that one paticular person takes advantage of smoking out in my backyard At first I didn't mind because it was a party and what not. But now it's turning into a burden. Thanks to this person i'm starting hate potheads. I mean I've hated them before but now I want them to get drafted and die in the middle east. That's why i'm always glad when Gabe goes to the house. He brings control to the situation and always brings beer to calm be down. I would like it for once just have my bandmates there and not a fucking entourage all over my house. All that stresses me out big time. But when the week is over I get to practice with Full Contact. Practicing with those guys makes my week a whole lot better. It's just us, nobody going in and out of the house, no mess and we always take care of buisness when it's over. We have a new song we just finished yesterday. Sounds real good. I was surprised how Tony and Rene clicked right away. Jamming with those guys is a lot of fun. We screw around sometimes and jam to old Metallica, Anthrax, Grave, and bring ourselves down with My Dying Bride. We've been getting ready for our Houston gig coming up on April 8th. The only thing i'm worried about this band is getting our merch ready for the show. Hopefully our shirts and stickers will be ready by then. It's gonna be a lot of fun hanging out with all our boys in H-town. I always miss those guys. The following day we decided to go check out the Astros. That's gonna be so awesome. I haven't been to MLB game since I was a kid. I saw Reggie Jackson with Yankess play the Rangers. That should tell you how long ago it was. I need to leave Laredo for a weekend. Sometimes this city can really stress and old geezer like me.
