News and Stuff!

My dad went to the grocery store to buy chicken.  When he saw the price of a package of chicken breasts, he asked the butcher if that price included the bra!  Which brings me to my point...my parents are HILARIOUS!

That being said I have a few pieces of news from the past week.  FIRST off, I tried HIP's energy drink called Pink.  Initial thoughts--Delicious!  Tastes like grapefruit.  Wonderful.  Anywho, the real excitement came from the slow rise in energy with no sudden drop off.  No jitters, no crash.  Just the right amount of energy to keep me alert and sharp.  I absolutely LOVE this product.  If you're interested in trying or buying you can contact me and I will get you in touch with my sales rep.

SECONDLY, I saw a UFO last night.  It was weird and I thought it was a flock of birds.  Basically what I saw was a V formation 4 lights on the left side, but only 3 lights on the right.  All were evenly spaced and didn't change their spacing in the couple of seconds I saw them.  It flew overhead pretty quickly so I ran across the street to get a better view and it was gone.  Really odd experience.  May have been birds...just awfully quiet birds.

Thats all for now...more later...much much more!

Somebody Has to Say It

Today my dad commented during a conversation that "kids don't wanna work these days".  At the time I just brushed it off, no big deal; but the more I've stewed over it, the angrier that simple comment has made me.  It's strange to me how the older generation looks down on us as lazy.  Why? Because instead of working out in the sun we tend to go more for inside jobs that are physically less demanding.  My generation (twenty-somethings) definitely goes more for technology and computers than getting out and digging ditches.  NOBODY wants to dig ditches! NOBODY wants to be out in the sun all day.  The only reason people still do it is because you can make pretty good money doing those types of jobs.  Therefore, if you can make the same amount of money if not more sitting on your ass playing with technology, why not?!  Sounds like a lot more fun to me.  Work doesn't have to be miserable in order to be considered work.  That's my rant for today.

In the Verse

My latest project  is a band called In the 'Verse.  The original idea came from me being a HUGE Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan.  I started writing a story for fun about the slayer after Buffy.......many many years later actually.  Out of that story I started noticing certain parts of my story were written more like songs.  Since then, the idea has completely morphed into it's own entity, not set in the Buffyverse at all.  So now I'm working on writing and recording a series of concept albums that will accompany the story.....which I hope to release in comic book form as well as online video and art.  If you know any good comic artists send them my way!


I'm also looking for band members and/or tour musicians lead guitar, keys, drums, bass....maybe an extra rhythm/lead guitarist so.....w00t!  Overall I'm shooting for an indie pop/rock sound a la Deathcab for Cutie, Rilo Kiley, Tegan and Sara, and Eisley.


I'm also working on some solo songwriting which I will be posting on my solo myspace  sometime in the near future.


OOH and I recently bought the five season set of Angel.  I LOVE IT!  I mean I'd already seen the whole series before, but now I'm rewatching and taking notes.  I'm already on season 3.  Joss Whedon is the source of much of my inspiration.
