Hello, all you ever so many people. I've been thinking, it's time I break the silence and actually kept things posted on this "blog" thing.
Honestly, I can't even STAND the word "BLOG". It sounds so…so…I don't know. It sounds do contrived, so synthetic, so made up like something 'office' people do their off time like, "hey Bob, I just got done with the Winston account and boy was that a fiasco. Hahahaha! I was thinking about grabbing a Fresca and maybe going blogging at my cubicle, letting off some steam. Care to join me?"

See what I'm saying? Yeah, just doesn't work for me even though the concept of blogging is perfectly great. That is unless you're one of those internet gangsters who goes on those ridiculous rants about whatever, or try to intimidate people through electronic messages. And it's not that you being a jerk or world-class idiot is fine - a good amount of intimidation at the right time is priceless – but it's just that when you say the type of stuff you'd never say in person because you don't have the balls to…that's just annoying to me. Be yourself, be real. And if it is easier to communicate through the written, electronically transmitted word then at least admit…but don't come off on some "Yo! Yo! Yo! SON! I'll…um…I'll rip out the left portion of your liver and then…then…hmmm…retain you esophagus in a dynomistrous fortified prism through written consent by way of separation from the 3rd praxis of your brain if you don't return my switchblade immediately…and stop looking at my 2nd best friend's ex-ex-girlfriend's sister!" yeah, I'm not intimidated only confused.
Thus, I commit to staying in touch with ya'll a bit more. I love to write, I do not exercise the gift nearly enough. I plan to use this portion of myspace to fill you in with thoughts, diary entries, email transmissions, poems, rants, and dreams both old and new. If nothing else it should be interesting, but what would my life be if not just that?
I do not know, but what I do know is that I've give stories for days. Like the time I got banned from that one airline for running on the tarmac to catch my plane. Yeah, don't do that. Or that time that I was on tour and Smooth tried to test the safety rating on my Soccer-mom van by driving it into a semi at 65mph on a sheet of black-ice at 11pm in the oblivion of Texas between NM and OK. Good thing the van tested great! Or that time I was so sick in Hawaii I had to drive my scooter to a friends house to take care of me, which isn't ALL bad, but potholes, motor scooters, and the inevitability of diarrhea make it pretty impossible to not shard on yourself somewhere along the 15 mile journey that was meant only for full-sized vehicular transportation.
Other then that, my new album is done. I've posted some of the new tunes, I hope you enjoy them. I put my life into it and I pray that it shows. Hopefully, I'll be touring through your town soon and we meet. Who knows. I love seeing new places, but most of all I love humans and meeting new ones. This life is all about relationships. Accepting that has changed my life and the way I look at it. Doesn't mean that all the relationships are good, or even that they have to be. However, my acknowledging the importance of relationships at least gives me perspective on the importance of communication being that communication – effective communication – or lack thereof will determine the type of relationships you have. I communicate through music and words and rhythms and harmonies…I hope you can hear me!
