Life is good, most of the time!
It's been a little while and so I figured a bit of an update is in order. The past couple weeks have been an amazing mix of awesome and crazy! I'll start with some of the good news I've gotten.

What the Hell
So this morning I got up, went to get coffee at Could City as usual and decided on the way that I would spend some time working on a new track today, a ripoff or a cover or something.

June 15th is under a month away!
Well holy crap! It's less than a month until we head to Spain for Hardcore Till I Die in the Sun 2009! It's going to be the most mental week, clubbing all night and beaches all day!

Why music matters so much to me

Weekend, get here soon!
So I decided that I fucking hate Fridays. Strike that I think I just hate the work week. I love my job, love my co-workers. But to be honest I'd rather be working on music. Thankfully I have that.

Sometimes stress inspires creativity.
So from my last post, you could probably tell I was a bit stressed. Since then things have been going much better. All the hard work from last week paid off in a great live Hardcore Saves the World set! I had a great time, and I feel it was one of the better shows we have done in a while.
