Last night was the first night that XL427 was a band name and not just a solo moniker. It was a bit rough but very fun. I really need to finalize my lyrics though. Writing them the day of the show can be stressful. So this morning I have been reflecting on how much I enjoy playing in a band with some really good friends. And also how much power I ( Read more... )

Before this whole Wolfowitz scandal, I had no idea the World Bank even existed, much less with the purpose to serve the poor. So my question is, what in the world are they doing? With all the wealth represented between the Europeans and the Americans that make up the organization, it shouldn't take much to make some huge efforts to take care of the ( Read more... )

Today is my last day here in the Queen's Town. I don't know if they actually use that label but I think they should. I'll write more tomorrow as I don't have time today. I am enjoying my stay here though. I had a few people comment that it seemed like I didn't like it. I do. It's not exactly what I expected but places never are. I guess my writing ( Read more... )

And it is none too soon cause today was the day I decided to avoid the Underground and buses and just walk everywhere. My hope was that I would get a better picture of the town if I walked.

So I here I am in London. I busted through my jet lag and lack of sleep to make it awake to whatever time it is now, 8 PM Standard Greenwich. This place feels very much like Paris in how old it is. And the city is pretty much laid out the same way. I am glad I didn't decide to rent  a car and drive cause I am having a hard enough time using the ( Read more... )

It's been very rainy here both days. Just ugly weather. Hopefully tomorrow will be clear for a big day of football/soccer. I spent most of the day walking around to the different historic landmarks that England is known for. Big Ben is still here. Buckingham Palace is still being controlled by the guards in big hats. I strolled through some museums ( Read more... )

Life is so so amazing. Why? Well as I was walking from my room to the shower I caught a glimpse of a bird sitting right outside of my stairwell window. Two inches away, resting on a sagging telephone wire. I have know idea what kind of bird it was was but it was gorgeous. I stared it for probably twenty minutes as it stared right back. I suppose it ( Read more... )

Indy to London is really cheap right now for a May/June visit, anyone going with me?

I'm writing a sitcom. Yep. The future of television is me.

Well, my friend Spence is part of this too but that wouldn't have been as poetic including him in the preceeding statement of awesomeness.

My band gets to play with one of my favorites, Pernice Brothers. They are coming to Dayton and Canal Street on November 5. I can't wait to hear "The Weakest Shade of Blue" played live.
