Thoughts on blogging
Alright, so I was thinking today about my blog, and my other blog (myspacemutants.blogspot.com) and such. I felt like I wanted to add something to my blog to make it unique. Other than my distaste for people who don't know the difference between then and than, or making fun of weirdos on myspace, I don't have too much unique that I want to say. I am still going to keep this particular blog for my own little thoughts and such, but I decided I want to try something new, blog-wise: I am lucky to have a lot of talented friends, be it musicians, graphic designers, tattoo artists, or what have you. I'd like to see if I can interview them, and make our interviews blog entries. Hopefully some of you will be willing to let me interview you! ha. Anyways, that one is HERE.

My dad is a one man stimulus package
Every month for the past 3 months my dad has mailed me a $50 gift card to Publix. I think it is his way of trying to prove to me trickle down economics does work. Thanks, Dad!

It is always nice to see something you have been planning for a really long time come together (relatively) smoothly. Thursday night is the first show we are playing for this little tour thing, and it looks like Wednesday we will be picking up our freshly printed CDs. So we somehow managed to have stickers, buttons, shirts, and CD's all at one time. Being in a band is a money pit.
I think Victor is the only person who reads this blog, but, here are the dates (as if I haven't already sent all of you a myspace event invite, facebook event invite, and several twitter reminders- geez):
Mar 12: Gville
Mar 13: Downtime
Mar 14: Cocoa Beach
Mar 15: Sarasota
Mar 16: Tampa
Mar 17: Orlando at Backbooth
Mar 18: New Orleans?
Mar 19: Austin TX
Mar 20: Pensacola
Mar 21: Tallanasty!
Mar 22: Atlanta
Having that Orlando show on Mar 17 really makes everything else kind of a pain. . .but it is with Inkwell, One Small Step For Landmines, and Slow Claw. . . so it should be REALLY f'ng fun (for me at least. Not to mention it will be nice to play a show when I DON'T have to get up at 8am the next day.)
Anyways, I didn't just post this because a blog offers me yet another place to inundate you with promotional information: I also posted to discuss, "Lose" and "Loose."
How any person could mix the two of these up, is beyond me. "Lose" is a VERB. "Loose" is an adjective."
Example:
"He somehow managed to lose all his money by spending it on fast cars, booze and loose women."
Simple, right?
Here is some more help:
"Lose" is pronounced, "looz," whereas "loose" rhymes with noose, moose, and caboose.
If you are an adult, and you cannot keep these words straight, you should have to go back to elementary school (Billy Madison style.) I think I kind of equate poor spelling and grammar habits to having low self-confidence in much the same way I would equate a woman dressing dumpy to meaning she has low self-confidence, or a man being afraid to speak to women as meaning he has low self-confidence. It's ok: You deserve to spell right. I know you can do it.

lifehandsyoulemons.com
Registered the domain, again. If anyone knows how to build a simple site, basically just built around a message board, let me know. I am sure there are free php codes or something out there, but I'm not a web designer so. . . it's all Chinese to me.
Basically all I need is for a person to be able to go to my site, post a thread, and people can comment and reply to it.

Have you seen the new gatorade commercials, with Kevin Garnett? They are, I suppose, a spoof of Monty Python and The Holy Grail or whatever that movie is called, and they are searching for G.
I watched a few of the commercials on TV, and thought they sucked, but I decided to go to the website and watch the whole thing after seeing the link on the commercial. It's actually pretty funny (funny in a "well, for non-actors they aren't doing a bad job" sort of way, perhaps.)
The highlight is the talking goat.
