THE SEPARATION OF MAY


WHEN I LOOK BACK AT ALL THE THINGS I HAVE DONE MUSICALLY I THINK ABOUT IT AS A CERTAIN CHAPTER IN M LIFE. I WAS 20 GOING ON 21. I WAS NAIVE ABOUT LIFE IN GENERAL. I HAD VERY LITTLE RESPONSIBILITY AND I WAS IN LOVE WITH MUSIC. NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED EXCEPT THINGS HAVE SEEMED TO BECOME MORE DIFFICULT. MORE MUNDANE. ME AND SCOTT PLAYED MUSIC TOGETHER FROM THE TIME WE WERE FIFTEEN YEARS OLD TILL ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO. THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST STUFF WE EVER DID TOGETHER. WE RENTED A HOUSE ON SIX ACRES OF LAND IN WHAT WAS ONCE CONSIDERED THE COUNTY. NO TV IN THE LIVING ROOM JUST OUR GEAR. EVERY NIGHT WE WOULD COME HOME AND WORK ON THE SONGS BUILDING UP TO THE EVENTUAL RECORDING. WHEN RECORDING TIME CAME WE TOOK 400 DOLLARS DOWN TO THE DOO WOP SHOP AND RENTED ALL THE EQUIPMENT TO MAKE A HOME RECORDING. BACK THEN IT WAS A MIXING CONSOLE SOME MICROPHONES AND ADAT MACHINE , A COMPRESSOR, AND AN DAT MACHINE. WE RECORDED SEVEN MICS ON THE DRUMS WITH A GUITAR SCRATCH TRACK. BOUNCED THE DRUMS DOWN TO TWO TRACK STEREO. THEN RECORDED GUITAR BASS AND VOCALS. AFTER WE RECORDED THIS WE PLAYED A HANDFUL OF SHOWS WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THE BAND. FOR SOME REASON THE CHEMISTRY NEVER WORKED WITH A THIRD OR A FOURTH MEMBER. SO WE EVENTUALLY WENT ON TO DO SOMETHING ELSE. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN HEARD. SO I REALLY DO ENCOURAGE YOU TO DOWNLOAD THESE 13 SONGS AND ENJOY THEM. FOR ME...IT BRINGS BACK NOT ONLY EVERYTHING THAT IS GREAT ABOUT PLAYING MUSIC AND BEING ABLE IN SOME CAPACITY TO EMOTE THROUGH ELECTRICITY OR BEATING ON SOME SKINS, IT ALSO BRINGS BACK A TIME IN MY LIFE WHERE I WAS JUST STARTING OUT ON MY OWN. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TEN YEARS AGO I WOULD BE LIVING IN COVINGTON SURROUNDED BY A NEW GROUP OF PEOPLE AND SEVERAL BANDS LATER. BUT THEN AGAIN.....I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING BACK THEN. MAYBE I STILL DONT. BUT AT THE TIME....THIS MADE PERFECT SENSE TO ME....AND IT STILL DOES. ENJOY.

To Have and To have Not.


politics. im fed up with it. per a conversation..and a thought that isnt quite my own. someone compared to wwf or some sort of reality show. i agree. im bored with the parties, the shit they complain about, and the random pointless bullshit they try to pass on us. really american politics is the art of doing nothing but making it seem like youve dont so much. its not all good.



seems like in previous years of blogging....i have had alot more to say. now....i dunno. so i guess like everyone else i will make a list of resolutions for the new year...to make myself feel good...there are a couple of these that wont happen.
  1. pay off defaulted student loans
  2. quit smoking
  3. lose more weight
  4. put out another oso bear cd
  5. flat screen tv
  6. jenkinsfest 11
  7. save more money
  8. better job.
  9. quit being such a sex symbol in the nky region
  10. quit making people jealous of how awesome i am
i had to add the last two because it didnt make sense to have a top 8





THAT WAS THEN THIS IS NOW CINCY WITH THE JC FOUR.

here is the show with addam,brie,dusty, and dave from the kc four. remember. indie and alt punks not dead.

EFFING INTERNET

like....in my own head. i would like to think that you all wonder what i am doing. but i know its just not the case..but in any event. i love to talk about myself. so here we go. past couple months....well i quit one job and got a job at another. when your boss calls you a stupid m effer its time to go....so i left. no biggie...job didnt pay that well. in fact. i make more money now delivering pizzas. weird. yes. i know my car is slowly dying and i spend alot of money on gas. but i dont really have to deal with a boss. and besides the occasional asshole customer or stiffed tip (i swear thats not sexual). its an easy job....i mean.. it still sucks. ive been thinking about canada lately. i like the idea of a confederacy. i like socialized medicine...but i hate the cold. and i dunno....seems  a little cliche moving to canada. thats everyones go to....oh shit palin is in office im moving to canada. like....that is gonna change so much. i did hear alot of people moved to Vancouver when bush was elected for a second term. i hope they renounced their citizenship and all of the sudden some sort of weird catastrophe hits and they arent allowed to return. one thing i would never do...is renounce my us citizenship. NEVER. why would you. i know i know this is gonna sound like every other paranoid southerner who likes to stockpile guns in their basement( which let me just say...i am not a fan of guns at all) but when the shit hits the fan i wanna be on this side of the world watching the shit hit the fan on cnn.....only seems fair. after all, i did have the pleasure of being born a u.s citizen. which entitles me to the biggest military in the world. enough about that..all that does is spark some sort of debate on whether you are proud to be an american or not...then someone will come along who lives in america...and tell us how much they hate america...then we tell them to move...the cycle is a vicious one. but alas.......i digress. i will miss you college football. i will miss you dearly. once again for the fifth time straight sec victory. feels great. so living in mainstrasse....you have the pleasure of using other peoples internet connections...and thats a pleasure i would never want to give up. but its not reliable. it drives me ape.  other than that...ive been chillin. any questions? i will answer them
