Past Week's Shows
I work a lot but have weekends off now. It’s strange having a solid block of days to consistently look forward to. Before I got weekends off, every day may as well have been named the same.
Last night (Monday) was a great show with Austin Lucas, Cory Driscol, Woodthrush and S.I. at my house.
Last time I saw Austin was at Harvest of Hope 2. He is what the majority of country music should...

Working a lot, but I get weekends off now. Going to watch American Horror Story before falling alseep. My girlfriend and my puppy pitbull are adorable. Stressing a little about recording, money and pressing vinyl — but life is pretty decent right now.

Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.
She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes…
I was made fun of in 2nd grade for wearing a shirt with pink on it. I never...

Summary/response
It seems I have not made a proper update since Thanksgiving break.
I don’t want to devote too much time to this, since I have a whole bunch of errands and chores to do, but the house is particularly and uncharacteristically quiet, and now is a good time to sit down with my thoughts. Sorry if it is a bit on the longer side. It’s been three months. I’ll try to condense.
So after...

Remembering
My grandfather died yesterday. Supposedly he went peacefully. As my mom put it, “He took a long, deep breath and went…” It’s always vague where the person went. She asked me to pray for him. I think that is her way of saying remember and think about him.
It was strange seeing him during the long decline. He became so weak. When I was a child, he was someone who...

Three shows past and done
Great shows this past week. Monday was a Gorgeous show with Street Eaters at Casa de la Chihuahua (or something like that). It’s a new house show space with bands playing in a garage out back. The garage reminds me of some overly masculine getaway from some ’90s sitcom: a place you’d hide from the wife and watch the football game with your boys while drinking cheap beer on cheap...
I’ve been working around 40-50 hours a week as of late. Unfortunately, it hasn’t all been in nice blocks, but haphazardly assembled into some horror of a Frankenstein schedule. It’s like a shaky hand threw darts at a calendar so that I end up working from 7am to 11pm with only a three hour break, which hardly allows time to do anything fun or productive outside of work.

A WEEK AGO
Went to Niagara Falls with my mother and her boyfriend. Did corny things. Maid of the Mist was awe inspiring. Nothing like being surrounded by tons of rushing water and foam. Went up the tower, stayed the night on the Canadian side and ate at Hard Rock Cafe Niagara Falls, NY. Yes, there’s a Hard Rock Cafe Niagara Falls, NY.
We were getting fancy olives out of a case with tiny tongs when a...
YESTERDAY

TODAY
Worked this morning at my newish job as an English tutor. I’ve been feeling abnormally anxious and guilty after telling a few people the wrong way to use semi-colons. Although, I was only slightly wrong. I may have also drilled commas after an introductory clause, phrase or word too much. It’s not always needed.
Sometimes I see so many papers I go cross eyed. What are these...

Parade of Home show on Friday went great. Love the idea of people biking en masse to a chain of houses to see bands play. Great crowd response with crowd surfing and the like.
My other band played a show the next day with Greenland is Melting, which is one of my favorite bands of all time. My band did pretty alright and there was a great turn out. Went to a party next door and maintained some...

On a break from work
At home from work to let Speedy out and pet him. Without roommates, my girlfriend or another dog here, he gets very lonely.
Feel weird today. Accidentally made a co-worker mad at me. Feels very belittling to work these part-time shit jobs. You forget what you’re worth, if anything.
So, after talking to my drummer last night, I...

New Job
The day started with an interview for a job. I mostly listened.
The interviewer happened to graduate from the same college as me. So did her husband and daughter.
“This is how Ivy Leagues must feel when they meet, except I’m trying to get a part time job slightly above minimum wage and those Ivy Leagues are probably discussing million dollar CEO positions or something,”
I...

Most of my time has been spent working in the bakery and going to a few scattered shows.
Tonight, Chilled Monkey Brains brought out a lot of people to the Farside. And I finally got to see Ex-breathers with their real drummer.
I’m trying to spearhead the newsletter for Farside this month. I am very excited.
Lots of productive things to be doing: finish moving into our new room, send out...
