A friend of mine wrote a very interesting blog about some realizations she has had, regarding Life In General.  That entry led me to some realizations of my own.  Sadly, I don't seem to have the same positive outlook on my realizations that she had.  My realizations are:

- It matters not WHAT you know.  It's WHO you know and who's behind you are willing to kiss to get what you want.  And I refuse to play that game.

- If you take pain killers for a medical condition, the world immediately labels you as a junkie.  I dare YOU to try living with chronic pain.  You will then realize that pain killers don't make you a junkie... they help you to barely function at a minimal level - which is an 100% improvement over what the alternative is - bed ridden.

- Our political leaders have failed us.  Not just the current administration, but the previous ones, as well, that ALLOWED us to be in the spot that we are in, currently.

- Kidney stones produce a pain that is worse than death.

- Out of the many, many friends I thought I had throughout life, I can count the REAL ones on one hand.  And I'm grateful for those few.  I only hope I'm as good of a friend to them as what they have been to me.

- The biggest realization I've come to is - it's perfectly fine to be displeased with the world around you.  That's the first step in the improvement process.

I have started writing music for a new side project that will be named I/O.

I/O will be a mix of straight forward rock mixed with a healthy helping of Industrial.  In other words, it'll be music to either dance by, or pump your fist in the air to... depending on you and your style.  It'll be perfect for both methods of music appreciation!

Musical inspiration for this project includes:  Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, Starflyer 59, and various noises that I stumble across with my analog synth generators.

Stay tuned for links, and directions as to where to hear some music.  Of course, it'll take some time to record those tracks.  I'm hoping to have a finished song in the next week or two.  The musical ideas are flowing, so a lot more to come in later days!

As most of you know, I just signed a deal with Undying Records, a promising digital-release-only label out of Alabama.  Here we are, about a month into it, and through a chain of dramatic events, Undying Records is no more.

I wish Jeremy the best and harbor no hard feelings toward him, nor his label.  Here's to better days, ahead.

So, once again (and for now), [null factor] finds himself a free agent.

Hear that Interscope?  Hear that, Metropolis?  Alpha Matrix?  Some Bizarre?

Anybody?
