Big Things Happening
"IT'S NO GOOD"-- Depeche Mode
-----------------------------
Gonna take my time- i have all the time in the world
To make you mine- it is written in the stars above
The gods' decree- you'll be right here by my side
Right next to me- you can run but you cannot hide
Don't say you want me, don't say you need me
Don't say you love me, it's understood
Don't say you're happy out there without me
I know you can't be, cause it's no good
I'll be fine- i'll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs- and come running to my open arms
When will you realize- do we have to wait till our worlds collide
Open up your eyes- you can't turn back the tide
Don't say you want me, don't say you need me
Don't say you love me, it's understood
Don't say you're happy out there without me
I know you can't be, cause it's no good
Gonna take my time- i have all the time in the world
To make you mine- it is written in the stars above
Don't say you want me, don't say you need me
Don't say you love me, it's understood
Don't say you're happy out there without me
I know you can't be, cause it's no good
Don't say you want me, don't say you need me
Don't say you love me, it's understood
Don't say you're happy out there without me
I know you can't be, cause it's no good
well, well... today has been rather eventful. this morning emily dyed my hair dark auburn before i went to bed. all day long all i can think about is how much work still needs to be done in preparation for adverse estate's ep debut. out of 16 songs, five have been recorded in a rough studio demo, 2 have been partially recorded and beyond that, we still need to do all the rest. promos need to be considered. every dj in the dc area has a copy of the demo, dc101 has a copy, and everyone in prince william county that we could thrust a copy upon has one. we scattered flyers all over northern virginia, but that was months ago. we need to do it again. i want to make t-shirts, business cards, and bumper- stickers. a free 3 track cd to pass out at shows. we need to start playing at bars on open mic night again. we were getting a lot of attention from the public when we did that. maybe not as spectacular as a real show, but definately got a fan base going. ok, so i discussed my vision with david last night. i told him i did not want to start looking for a new drummer, bass player or a keyboardist until the album was finished. i'll be playing all those parts on our album, and that way when it's done we can pass it out to people who want to try out for those parts in the band and they'll know what we want it to sound like... ugh, and it's tax season too! shit, i forgot about that. i hope i still have the reciepts and invoices from the studio, that way i can claim a business loss and we won't have to pay any extra for expenses. we spent 5000 dollars on the band last year, including equipment, stage props and studio time, and we made around 1500 back, so we lost 3500 dollars to the project. i really hope the irs will sympathise. wow, i'm so excited. even listenning to depress mode isn't bringing me down. there's just so much to do! i've figured out a potential track listing for the order of the songs on the album. it goes like this:
Adverse Estate: "VELVET"
------------------------
1. Walk Away
2. I Need You
3. Failure
4. Charity
5. The Verge
6. In Your Dreams
7. Dark Boy
8. West Pacific
9. Clinical
10. Snow Angels'
11. Mona
12. So Good
13. The Greatest Failure
14. Wound
**. Orestes
**. I Need You (Ver. R2)
the last two are going to be "hidden songs" at the end of the album. the back cover would look something like this:
i'm so excited! anyways, travis is moving in on sunday, and i'm really syked about that too. for whatever ungodly reason jen is also staying there for the next two weeks, really pisses me off. i can't fucking stand her. i told sharon that i had no problem with her being there as long as she stayed out of my way. so this morning when i wake up the first thing i see is guess who's ugly smiling mug? yup. and i was like "what the fuck are you doing in my room?!" she goes "well you have to get ready for work, you need to wake up or you'll be late" and i said "well that's my business, don't you think?" gr. damn, i just can't get rid of her. we broke up like 5 months ago! why is she still invading my god damn life?! last night i wanted to hang out with moose and emily at mike's diner, but she was there with them so i had to suffer through the whole fucking night listenning to her annoying fucking trap yabbering away about absolutely friggin nothing! ugh, why couldn't she have stayed with her fucktoy in michigan when she left? why did she have to come back to manassas, to virginia for that matter?! i'll be so happy when she leaves, and it's not soon enough. gives me something to look forward to though i guess. lol. anyways, i've got like an hour left of work so i better go and finish up the day. i'll be back tomorrow. later.
