Ever since I was born my whole family has called me Erick. It wasn't until 7th grade that I started going by Fred. It was very weird for me. At first I didn't really respond when people called me Fred. I thought they were talking to someone else. And the fact that I have 4 uncles that are also named Fred makes things weird. People would call my house and ask for Fred and even my Mom will say you got the wrong number. Hahahahaha.
A couple of days ago some girl came to my house to drop something off when I wasn't home and it said Fred on it. Well, my Uncle was the one who answered it and he goes by Fred too. So he thought it was for him. Hahahahaha. So he was all like "this is for me?" and he started talking to the girl to see what it was all about. And she explained that this was for the photographer and then he immediately knew who she was talking about.
So when I got home, he told me all about the encounter and he thought his dreams came true by some beautiful girl coming to the house and taking him away. Hahahahahaha.
So yeah, if you're ever at my house it is a big no-no to refer to me as Fred.
I don't feel like a complete musician due to the fact that I can't sing. I practice everyday on any chance I get. I just don't like to do it around people cuz I don't want to make their ears bleed. I practice and practice and I feel like I get better throughout the rehearsal but the next time I practice I feel like I'm in the same spot as I was before. When you practice, it's supposed to bring your game up a level but I've been on the same level for quite some time. It's a little discouraging but this is something I want to do. I didn't learn how to play drums overnight so singing will come eventually.
I have thought about vocal lessons but right now I can't commit the time to do it. I got my full-time job, the part time job, my band, and my Mom on my case all the time. Whatever free time I have is spent sleeping.
I started this blog back in '03 cuz I had a few friends who blogged and it was a way to keep each other up to date with our lives since we didn't see each other on a daily basis. But I eventually stopped seeing them and they never updated anymore and I didn't know if they kept on reading mine so I stopped. I went to various other blogging venues such as Xanga, Fotopages, etc. I stopped writing about my life (cuz it was boring and it probably still is to this day) so I started writing poetry and taking pictures. I wrote my poetry on Xanga and random people would read my entries and they soon became regulars. My poetry was basically my thoughts on love, friendship, intimacy, roles in society, psychology, etc. It was all over the place.
My Fotopage took over my blog since I captured moments of fun. It was just funner for my friends to look at pix of what I did rather than read about what I did. This page I showed to my family and friends. It was for everyone to see what I was doing. I stopped Fotopages cuz there were too many random weirdos that were getting on that site.
But now I'm back here on blogger for the time being and I update it cuz I wanted to keep in touch with my favorite engineer. After school ended, we kinda lost touch for a little bit. That's probably my fault cuz I don't really like talking on the phone and I'm too lazy to drive up north. But yeah, this was my main form of communication with her. I feel like she helped me so much in school cuz I'm kinda lazy and she motivated me to do better. I remember the first time she talked to me. We were sitting in the hall outside one of our classes and she was asking me something and I wasn't responding cuz I don't have good hearing. I finally looked to my side once I heard an almost angry, kinda annoyed voice say "Excuse me!" Hahahahaha. I felt pretty bad cuz I kinda heard her talking but I didn't know it was directed towards me. And to make things worse, we were the only two people in the hall. Hey, she could have been on her phone. Hahahahaha. Yeah, that's my life is that boring.
No one knew about this blog except her but then somehow Shanel found out about it. I think I wanted to show her a pic or something that I had posted and I sent her the link. And I guess she started to read it. And then Shanel told Ramon about it. I didn't tell him about it cuz I see him all the time anyways so what's the point? And now a few other people know about it. So I guess it's no longer for one person....but it was for about a year and a half. =)
Right now I'm trying out this "confessions" deal to see what I can find out about myself. I dunno how long this will last. There aren't too many skeletons in my closet so this could possibly end soon.
I think I wanna start my 365 project again. I think it might be easier this time around cuz I have a photography job and I HAVE to take pix all the time. So once this "confessions" deal ends, I might do that. But it might have to be called 366 since this is a leap year.
I can't sleep even if I wanted to. I've been known to say that sleep is overrated and I don't exactly believe that 100% but I do think it takes up unwanted time. I feel it cuts into my production and disrupts my creative juices. Usually at night is when I start to feel like I can accomplish something. I dunno, maybe it's the whole work thing during the day that occupies my mind but when I start winding down and relaxing at night that's when my mind starts to go into overdrive. Maybe I should start writing these blogs at night then? No, I'd rather be doing something else than writing these at home.
But yeah, I feel sleepy and then I lay down and close my eyes. And then I'll lay there for a couple hours before I fall asleep. I normally get 4 hours of sleep a night. People ask how I can get by with that little sleep. I have no good answer to give them. All I can say is "you just do it." I catch up on the weekends though.
This weekend we went out and things got pretty wild. Needless to say, I had an excellent time. There was this girl and we ended doing some things that I'm not really proud of. Things I shouldn't have done with her I did. I shouldn't have done it cuz I have no idea where she's been. But in that moment of pleasure I didn't care. The thought did cross my mind in the middle of the session but I didn't want to stop. You know what they say, "Fill it up again! It's so good! Once it hits your lips it's so good." And I did end up going for seconds.
That was probably one the wildest nights I've ever had. No regrets.
Speaking of which, I did see Kaylani Lei that same night.
I know it might sound funny, since I'm a grown man and all, but it's true. When I get up in the middle of the night (to use the bathroom or grab a drink, etc.) I flip on every light switch that I pass by. It's not so much the dark that I'm afraid but it's more what my imagination portrays shadows/silhouettes to be. If it was pitch black I think I would be ok. Just having another person there also gives me comfort.
When I was a kid I refused to sleep on my own. I either slept in my parents' room or my brother's room. When I finally got my own room, I had this little cushion mattress thingy that I would put on the floor and I would bring that into their rooms and sleep on it.
If I'm in unfamiliar territory and it's dark, my mentality is to get ready to hit something. It's the fight or flight response and I'm ready to fight.
I cleaned my truck again this weekend since it rained right after I cleaned it last week. Guess what's happening today? Yup, you guessed it. It's raining. What is this now, the 5th consecutive time this has happened? CURSED.
Me:....hey, looks aint nothing if your body can’t talk….and your body can talk!!!!! It’s been telling me all the right things. =)
Her:That’s probably the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me! Thank you!
Me:I wasn’t just saying that, I mean it. I don’t even like dancing, I hate dancing in public but when I’m dancing with you I’m enjoying every second of it.
Her:Ur too much fun....I find it hard to believe you don’t like dancing. And in general you’re fun to be around....Where were u while I was in college?!?!? We’ve got to find more stuff to do again...
I don't like her but she does give me a sense of comfort....especially when we're grinding. Hahahahaha.
And here I am at work. This was another busy weekend for me. Busy weekends mean no sleep.
Friday was the Hearts On Fire event over at Red Circle. Vanessa and Marcos came out. It really means a lot to me that they came out. We had a good time even though the music was "not our flavor". The night started off real slow and we were the only ones in the place and then it picked up quite a bit later on. I did end up getting one girl's number that night. I don't really try to get girl's number when I hit the clubs cuz I'm not really a "club person" and if I meet them there then that means they're gonna want to go there all the time. But yeah, I'm trying to break out of my comfort zone and do things I haven't done before.
Saturday I was supposed to audition for this band but I called them up and told them that I was really busy all week for both my jobs and I didn't get a chance to listen to and learn their music. So I told them it wasn't a good idea for me to audition and the singer was all like "Oh, it's all good. I'm actually on my way to Vegas right now so we wouldn't have been able to do the audition anyways." So that kinda told me where their priorities are at and I told him that I probably wouldn't be auditioning in the future as well.
I went to a wedding on Saturday afternoon/night and I got to see some former co-workers. It was good seeing them cuz they were the people I actually liked. And I'm glad I got invited to the wedding. The groom was the singer for the death metal band and the guys in his band were there too and they were trying hard to get me to commit to the band. we were talking music all night and listening to stuff they like and stuff I like. I was getting a good vibe from them and they had a demo, which was pretty good, and it was making me want to play. But yeah, anytime there is a wedding I'm always trying to get with girls. But the only girls there were the groom's little sisters and cousins so I didn't want to mess with that. They were barely legal but they were drinking it up anyways. And I was dancin' with them for a while. Hahahaha. There was music playing and people were gathered around but no one was dancing so I just went in the center and started to get my groove on. The girls were laughing at first and I was just making eye contact with them trying to get them on the dance floor. It worked cuz they started dancing too. They were getting a little too comfortable with me and I had to stop cuz I didn't want the other people there thinking I was trying to hook up with these youngins. Later on in the night, the bride came up to me and was all like "Fred, I invited my single girl friends but none of them showed up[to the reception]. I was lookin' out for you." I think that was her way of telling me to stay away from the youngins. So I chilled with the groom for the rest of the night. Hahahaha.
Sunday night we went to House of Blues (to meet Ashley Robles) and Jade Theater. we got to meet the head guys at Victory Nightlife, Heavy Rotation, Cockstar Army and another company. We met so many people that I doubt anybody will even remember meeting each other. I did take a bunch of pix and handed out a bunch of cards so people will check the website looking for their picture.
Last night I was actually cold. That's not a good sign. I usually only get cold if I'm sick. So when I woke up this morning I felt all congested again and I hacked up all this yellowish-green phlegm. I was just sick a couple weeks ago. C'mon now.
Karmen is so cute. She treats me like how a Mother would treat their child. I told her all the stuff that I've been doing outside of work and she is so worried for me. I haven't really been getting sleep and my mind is all over the place (which is why I got my PDA back up so I could keep track of everything). But yeah, she was all like "You have to give something up. Your other job or your band. You're doing too much. You need to let your body rest." And I know she's right. Cuz my Mom tells me the same thing. Thanks Karmen for caring so much. =)
I tried wearing my watch on my left hand today. It just feels weird. It's like I'm wearing my shoes backwards or something. Plus my left wrist is so much bigger than my right. I have no idea why. It's probably just buffer cuz I use it every night. j/k. Or am I? LOL
Tonight is the event over at Red Circle. It should be fun. I'm expecting a good amount of people.
I tried to run but my knees can't take it anymore. I need to bike for a while until I drop a few and then I can start running again. I've gone over my max and I need to get back under.
Project: Mustache Rides! has ended. I just don't like the way a mustache looks on me. Plus I can feel it every time I kiss someone. I'm sure they feel it too and it can't be comfortable.
I am officially cursed. Every time I wash my truck, it rains that same week. This is the third consecutive time this has happened. It's like every little step I take, you will be there. Every little step I make, we'll be together.
Oh yeah, it's Valentines Day. Marcos got me this Transformers card with a pencil and a lollipop. Hahahahahahaha. Last year I got everyone some Winnie the Pooh and friends Valentines cards. That was when only like 20 people were working here. Now there's a grip of peeps and I didn't feel like buying that much stuff. I shoulda just got stuff for all the girls but eveyone already thinks I mess around with them too much. To them this would justify that I'm doing extracurricular activities with them. A few people asked if me and "insert_name_here" were having some sort of fun outside of work. I gave them an open ended answer with nothing definitve so I could leave some stuff for their imagination. It just makes things funner that way. And I'm sure the girls don't enjoy being the center of office gossip. Me, on the other hand, I don't really care and I will add fuel to any rumors and make them more ridiculous than they already are.
It was another sleepless night for me. It didn't help that I got home around 1230am. We had our weekly meetings and I got the dates and times for all the events this week. The PDA is very helpful. But yeah, after our meeting we went over to Red Circle and I took a few pix over there. The place wasn't really poppin' but there were a few hunnies. The plastic twins (two girls who have had plenty of surgical enhancements) are always there, Chloe and Nicolette are always there(they're the hosts for Wednesday nights) and I finally got to meet them, and there were a few random girls in the mix. I would say there was about 20 people in there. Red Circle is pretty small. I think 50 people would make the place look poppin'.
I think imma start changing what I write about on here starting next week (or earlier). I don't like writing about my life. It's boring. I think I might explore creative writing....
I'm still having trouble going to sleep. Last night I got sleepy around 9ish so I tried to go to bed but I was just laying there for about an hour. So I got up and got my PDA back up to speed and killed about an hour and a half. So I went back to bed and it took like another 30 mins for me to fall asleep. So by this time it's almost 1am and I set my alarm to 6am. 5 hours of sleep is usually good for me but I still feel so tired.
My truck is clean, both the interior and exterior. I still have to clean my rims but other than that it looks good. I also bought a watch battery but as I was doing so I saw this other watch that looked dope so I bought it. The face on this watch has like a 3 inch diameter. My regular watch probably has a 1.5 inch diameter face. This new one is huge. I like it.
My left eye has been twitching a lot. I can feel it twitching right now.
Tonight I'm having a meeting with my other job. I need to find out the dates for some events. I think I remember us having to go to an event this Saturday ()during the day) but I have that band audition and also the wedding to go to. Which reminds me, I should buy a wedding gift. I think a bottle of wine would suit nicely. Or a bottle of Patron. Hahahahaha.
I have yet to learn the music for that band I'm auditioning for. It's pop-punk/emo so it's not too hard to play. I just gotta figure out when the changes are. But I'm questioning whether I should even go or not. I really want to play drums. I have been yearning to actually play drums in a band but there are so much other things going good for me right now. So much things I wanna do and not enough me's. I wish I had a clone or two. That'd be tight if we shared all the same memories. Like if I was out with this girl and my clone was at home learning new songs on guitar, we would both remember the experiences I had with this girl and we would both remember the song my clone learned. This would also give new meaning to doing two chicks at the same time. The possibilities are endless.
It's been hard for me to sleep at night and even harder to wake up in the mornings. My internal clock has been shifted and I don't know how to get it back to normal. Right now my eyes are twitching from the lack of sleep and looking at a screen all damn day.
I need to get my PDA back up and running. I stopped using it cuz I wasn't as busy but now I'm starting to get super busy and I'm thinking in my head "I know I need to do something today but I can't remember." Imma list the things I need to do this week (after work and picking up my Mom).
Tuesday: *wash my truck *clean the interior of my truck *get a new watch battery *learn music *change my Kaiser password (that won't take long)
Wednesday: *meeting for my other job *bring/fill out worksheets for my other job *learn music *hopefully get PDA up and running
Thursday: *bring Shanel to the airport *learn music *band practice? (it's Valentines so I'm not sure if we're rehearsing)
Friday: *Event photography at Red Circle (stop on by. i'll take some pix of you)
Saturday: *audition for band (2pm) *wedding to attend (5pm)
I think imma be playing up in Rancho Bernardo on the 23rd. I'm giving you fair warning April. Ha. It'll most likely be around 6 or 7pm. I'll find out the details. I was informed of this last week but I've been given a lot of information and I didn't write any of it down. So that's why I said "I think". I'll get the "for sure" info soon.
On Friday, I got to see my old band play. This was their first show with their new drummer. I must say that they sound waaaaaay better with this drummer. He has a playing style like me. He's very precise and not too flashy. Real solid. I took a bunch of pix of them. And then I was gonna stop by Ramon's b-day thing over at On Broadway. I aint never been there before so I wasn't too sure where it was at. I figured by the name it would be on Broadway and I saw a long line over on Sixth and Broadway so I figured that's where it was at. But then I was cruising around for parking for like 40 mins. I was trying to call and text some people that I knew were inside but they weren't responding so I bounced. I was tired and hungry and I'm not drinking anyways.
Saturday I was supposed to go to Tin's b-day thing at On Broadway. I ended up not going cuz we went to Aubergines and chilled with Danity Kane. We helped promote the event they were hosting so we got in with the quickness and we got to meet them and chill. I really like Aundrea. She was real sweet and easy to talk to. And then I didn't get home til 5:30am. My Dad called me around 4 cuz that's the time he usually leaves for work and he noticed that I wasn't home yet.
Sunday I slept pretty much the whole day. When I was awake I was playing guitar. I'm real excited about playing cuz me and Vanessa have been jamming a lot. I'm working on my vocals so we can do harmonies.
I got asked to play drums in another band. This one is kinda pop-punkish/emo. I know the singer and he's a cool guy so I said I'd try out. My audition is this coming Saturday at 2pm. Ha.
And I also got invited to this wedding. The singer of that Death Metal band that asked me to play for them is getting married and they invited me along. I haven't told them whether or not I'm gonna play with them yet. But I did say I'd attend the wedding.
They were on my case about some stuff that needed to get done so I've been doing that all morning. Now that I'm almost done, here I am.
Last night's Strauss was cool even though I didn't do any drinking. And I love getting to spend time with my favorite engineer. I don't see see her nearly enough.
Andie brought her guitar to work today and we jammin' on a couple songs earlier during break. I was playing "No One" by Alicia Keys and Andie sings it so damn beautiful. If I close my eyes, I swear it's Alicia Keys. Too bad Andie didn't come to Strauss last night. It would have been fun with her around. =)
Misc. Ailments Foundation, my old band, is playing tonight at the Epicentre here in Mira Mesa. I invited Andie along. Hopefully she comes through. MAF has a new drummer and I'm curious to see how he plays. I've heard good things about him and I saw him play with his previous band but I didn't like their music. I kinda wish they asked me to play for them, but I doubt I'll have the time to do it. That's why I decided NOT to play in that Metal band that asked me to play for them. I'd like to have at least 4 hours of sleep a night. Ha.
Tomorrow is Tin's 21st b-day party. She's gonna have a little thing at On Broadway and I said I would stop by.
Tonight is another night of Strauss. I gave up alcohol for Lent so no drinking for me. It'll be fun either way.
So last night I was over at Red Circle and this girl I kick it with spilled her drink all over her hand so she decides to stuff her fingers in my mouth. I thought she was just getting frisky, cuz that's how she is, but I licked her fingers and I tasted alcohol. I didn't know she had spilled her drink all over her hand until after I licked her fingers. And then I asked her if that was alcohol cuz I gave up alcohol. All the other people we were with knew I gave up alcohol so they started messing with her. They started saying "Why'd you do that to him? Don't you know he's allergic to alcohol?" And then she got all freaked out and thought I was gonna get all messed up and what not. Hahahahahaha. But I dunno if that counts as me messing up cuz I had a taste of alcohol even though I said I would give it up. I don't think it should cuz MY intent was just to get frisky with her and lick her fingers. I had no idea the alcohol was there. INTENT. Good topic.
Speaking of intent, I had a heart to heart last night. It was about me as a person. I got called out. Called out bad. And I needed it. It helped bring things back into perspective. This conversation had to do with intentions and life. What do you intend to do in your life? What steps are you taking to get there? The moral of the conversation is similar to like when you borrow a movie or a book from someone and you finish watching it or reading it. A lot of times people will just let that item sit around somewhere and not return it to the person they borrowed it from until that person asks for it back. How rude is that? You should have the decency to return it as soon as you are done. And you, as the lender, shouldn't have to wait over a month and then ask if they are done with it. That's basically what I'm doing in my life right now. I'm not returning things I borrowed, figuratively. It's 38 days into the new year, and the 1st for the Chinese New Year (happy year of the rat), but from this day forward I am aware of what needs to be done. This is about respect. For myself and for the people I interact with. I apologize for my actions. Ignorance is unkind.
So last night I was asked to make a some flyer's for Riley's. My friends DJ there every week so they asked me to make some simple flyers. Too bad they're on my home computer cuz I wanted to show some people.
I was at 85% healthy yesterday and for some reason today I feel at 75%. I woke up to some congestion and my cough is starting to become more frequent. I'm drinking some tea with honey right now. It feels good.
So I got a new phone yesterday. My bro hooked me up with some European phone that they're making. It's one of those slider phones and it's pretty solid. I like it way better than my old phone. My old one had like a plastic casing and this one feels like some nice composite material.
I've been writing alot of music and I want to record it cuz yesterday I was playing one of my songs for this girl and I was forgetting the song. Maybe it was the pressure of having an audience? A one person audience? Yeah, I think that's more nerve-racking than playing in front of 100 people. But yeah, I couldn't remember how my song went so I didn't play it anymore. I think it was more that she asked to hear some of my new material and it kinda put me on the spot. It's like when someone asks me what songs I know on guitar, I can't think of any. But when I'm by myself I play all these songs that people are always asking for.
So I've been conversing with this girl and she tells me that she's an introvert and she sometimes acts like it but I don't believe her. I think it's a front cuz she is a helluva performer. I don't understand how someone who is afraid to be around people can be so comfortable performing/singing in front of hundreds of people. It just doesn't make sense to me. I know people who are social butterflies but when they get on stage, they get the biggest case of stage fright. I can understand that. It's someone who is not in their element and they're not comfortable. I don't know where I fall here. I think I'm the ultimate exhibitionist. I crave attention. I want all eyes on me. I don't know if that's the vibe I give off. You tell me.
Health update: I feel like I'm at 85%. I still don't feel like I can run a mile in under 10 mins but I feel good. My voice is almost back to normal and I don't have the bloody phlegm anymore. I still have a little bit of a nagging cough but that's it. Speaking of coughs, yesterday at work I coughed really hard and as I my did my abs contracted. And usually when my abs contract I'm trying to push something. Well, I pushed something out when I coughed. Hahahahaha. I let this juicy one rip accidentally when I coughed. I got a leather chair here at work. I'm sure that helped amplify the sound. Right when it happened I had this look of horror on my face and I started looking around to see if anyone heard it. Juan, the dude sitting next to me, had his headphones on and he turned in my direction but I gave this shrug of my shoulders and had this face of "did you just hear something or did I imagine it?" I started cracking up when he turned back to his computer.
So I get this call on my phone yesterday. It was a number I didn't recognize so I didn't answer it. If they don't leave a voice message then I don't bother calling back. This person left a voice message and it went something like this: "Hey Fred, this is David. Long time no see but I wanted to talk to you if you were interested in playing drums for a band? Give me a call back. Later." I don't remember a David. There was some guy named David that played in a band that my old band used to play shows with. That was the only David I could remember. So this dealt with music so I decided to call him back. It turns out this David is my former co-worker from the Roller Coaster and he plays in a band now. When I was with my old band I gave him a CD and he was impressed with my playing. This was like 6 years ago. So his current band has gone through a number of drummers and they wanted to find a good one and he remembered me. I guess he still had my number cuz I sure as hell didn't have his anymore. But yeah, we chatted for a bit and got each other up to speed with what we're doing nowadays. So I'm interested in playing in this band cuz I haven't "played" drums in 3 years and drums are my passion. I asked David for some samples and he led to their youtube videos. So I go and watch these videos and these guys are Death/Black/Heavy Metal. It's pure screaming and a lot of speed. I haven't played metal since high school. That's over 7 years ago. I don't think I have the stamina to play metal. It's gonna be interesting.
2 jobs and possibly 2 bands? I dunno if I have the time for that. It's hard enough with just one job and one band.
I had every intention of getting him something but I waited last minute and something came up so I didn't get the chance. I'm still gonna get him something. Better late than never.
So I missed my gig on Saturday and I also missed the SuperBowl yesterday. I also had every intention of doing both but something came up. Here's the story:
I wake up to a text from Fonso on Saturday morning about the gig. I replied and went back to sleep. My bro comes into my room a few hours later and tells me to pack my stuff and that we're leaving. I told him I had a gig later on in the day. And he informs me that my Grandma is in the hospital. We got a bunch of people calling the house asking about the situation.
So I packed my bags and texted Fonso that I wasn't going to be able to make it to the gig tonight. He wasn't pissed about it. He was very understanding, which put me at ease. I hate to cancel any gigs, but music was the last thing on my mind. So we drove up to the Bay that instant. Apparently my Grandma had been in the hospital for 4 days now and I wasn't really home the past few days so I didn't hear about it.
We left San Diego around 2pm and we were worried that visiting hours would be closed by the time we got to the hospital. So we called my Auntie around 7pm to ask her what time the visiting hours were and she tells us the they released my Grandma from the hospital earlier in the day. So we went straight to my Auntie's house and stayed there.
When we saw our Grandma, she looked like she had lost a lot of weight. My Grandma is around 5'2" and 110 lbs. But it looked like she was only 90 lbs. She didn't eat for four days at the hospital. I guess she didn't like the food there. My Auntie was saying the doctors released her early so she could eat the food she normally eats at home and she'll gain her strength back.
I think my Grandma had caught a cold and it took a turn for the worst and she had all this fluid in her lungs and I think they had diagnosed her with pneumonia. I'm glad she's at home and doing better.
I don't feel any better today. I don't feel sick anymore but my voice is all jacked and my throat is all super dry. Other than that I feel fine. I'm drinking some tea with some honey and it feels nice cuz my throat is getting all coated with honey and it doesn't feel so dry anymore. I wonder how long this will last.
Karmen is back to work today but she still doesn't look recovered. She told me she had to go on the patch so she wouldn't smoke cuz it'll just jack her up even more. I've been trying to convince to stop smoking but it's like trying to convince me to go to the doctor. It's tough. Hahahahaha.
I got a gig tomorrow with my band but I didn't really tell anyone. It's up in Rancho Bernardo or Poway or somewhere up north. I think it's off Pomerado. But yeah, I don't really invite people to my gigs anymore cuz I feel like I'm putting a burden on them. I'll tell them and if they have plans or can't make it then they feel bad for not going. Plus I don't think my friends really like my music. They just say it sounds nice cuz they're my friends. I don't really mind cuz the music is for me. It's my therapy.
Here's a little video clip from our last performance at the Children's Hunger Benefit. This song is called Mt. Everest.
