- so i am in the process of writing a new song...i haven't titled it yet, but i can definitely say that it's one of the most confessional, honest, and viscious songs i've ever written...it still needs some work, but thusfar i like it, and it makes my stomach do weird things...i will quote ben gibbard from the dcfc dvd "Drive Well, Sleep Carefully":
"i just don't feel that we, as songwriters, should be held accountible for the authenticity, or lack thereof, in the words that we sing. Especially with writing novels, or writing poetry, or writing scripts, or making movies, or what have you, you're given more room to fill in the gaps. I don't think that songwriters get that because they get three minutes of time: three verses, a chorus, and a bridge, and that encapsulates the entire statement...."
...so yeah...
- things with the band are going slowly, yet surely...nathan and i have been writing stuff together for almost a year now, and still no full band...but we have been talking with 2 other gentlemen about writing some stuff together, and we're going to play with them tomorrow...if things go as planned, then perhaps stuff that has been a year in the making will be heard by people other than us by the end of the year...
- thursday night i get to finally see the ataris live...and i can't wait! they have been my favorite band for 9 years...and this will be the first time to see them live...and we are only fiction is opening which is also awesome, because travis and i tend to nerd out over the ataris in almost all of our conversations...so i'm super-excited for them! i'm still not sure what i'm going to say to kris roe when i walk up to him...not sure what i can say that won't instantly make me sound like a creepy fanboy, even though i kind of am...the best i've come up with so far is "thank you"...i'm not sure that's good enough though.
- i'm sorry to all that i never see anymore...life for me pretty much consists of waking up, going to work, coming home, playing music, then going to sleep...and on the weekends i'm usually too tired/lazy to get out and do much...i miss you all and maybe sooner or later my life will slow down...i'm trying to get everything figured out...to make the best of my situation, all the while working to better it....for whatever it's worth, i love you all.
