ponderings
sean&chrissy's 4th annual christ-mas party was tonight. i had a lot of fun, and got to see some people i havent seen since my unfortunate accident occurred (mike, jason, jay, carson). watching everybody play mafia was most excellent. bek swears more than me, i've for some reason just now discovered. sean&chrissy got me death-live in la on vinyl, and a copy of american psycho. both seriously a couple of the best presents i could ask for, they are completely in tune with what i dig. two of the most caring individuals i could have as friends (also for their incredible support during my whole ordeal and subsequent times of need). thats all i gotta say about that..
court date monday. i'll be dressed in my sunday finest, you can bet your bottom dolla. i'm optomistic, as i always have been.
my facial features are recovering (improving?) everyday since i've gotten home from the hospital, more noticably so these days. it'll take about 5-6 months for me to fully recover from the surgery (the swelling/bruising on the right side of my face is still somewhat prominant, especially to me), but its all good.
got to hang out at hot topic last night, talked to many of my decidely cool/excellent co-workers. i hope to return to work there and at Jimmy John's south as soon as possible. theres a chance i can get the wires out of my mouth in a week or two, which would be awesome to say the least, because i could then get cosmetic work done teeth-wise, and return to work. thank god. or jebus. either duder.
i'm the (very purposely) intense creative/writing process of doing the music of the compositions that will comprise the 2nd betweenthenightmares release, which will be an EP. five songs. i've already got a tracklisting that is very cohesive, and this should be the best artistic statement that i can make, and i have full faith that when we start rehearsing that everything else will come together beautifully. all the stuff is straight from my heart and soul. i've always composed my music pretty intensely and with care in the past, but its been amplified even more so in light of all the shit i've been through in the past month. some say the best music comes through personal struggles, and that definitely rings true here. i cant wait to start rehearsing the stuff as a band once i get completely finished with the material. I would say that i'm roughly 70% complete with said material.
ouuuuut.
