Hey yo, so let me do a survey, are you here to see wcw or the N W O! Mark another one up for the badguys.
That was for Isaac.
I have been working 10 hour days all week at my painting job and I am spent. Tomorow I start rehearsal's with one of my other bands. And next week i start rehearsal's with my third band. This is so exciting!! I am going to be playing in three completely different kinds of bands. More of less I couldn't make up my mind so let's just do them all. I'll have more details soon for ya.
Isaac wanted to know how the new Skillet cd is, so here is my take. I have to say that I love it! They went in the direction that they said they were going into. They toned down the electronics A LOT, and got very heavy!!! They maintained the Skillet songwriting edge that has always been there just with the guitars just completely amped on this one. Jon does some screams and all kinds of stuff, so if you liked them before, they have a sound more similar to there first album, just heavier and more modern sounding.
By the way the Pacers are 10-2 and 6-0 on the road.
Arthur- "No offense intended" The Tick "None comprehended"

It has been a while. Sorry.
Well I got back from Canada last night. It only took me 8 and a half hours. Let me just say that the weekend was amazing. I fit about a weeks worth of activities into a couple of days. It was so amazing to be welcomed backed the way that I was. I had no idea of the impression that I left in Waterloo. It was overwhelming, and very thereputic for me. The first person I saw was my brother Isaac waiting at the door. It was so good to see him again. He was really busy, as was all of Master's, the entire weekend. I was privledged to stay at the Davis' house, which included Dan and my brother. Dan thank you for the kind words that you said at your page. I really hope the next time I am there we get to spend some real quality time together, you make me smile and I am honored to be able to call you friend. One person this whole weekend outdid herself the entire time to make me feel so welcome and that was Laurie. You are one of the most genuinely sweet and kind people I have ever known. I really really miss you. I also was able to reconnect with my friend Rachel. She and I have always had great conversation. When we hung out, we did what we were always good at, communicated. I really enjoyed catching up with her. I also got to see my pick for a dude, if I was a homo, Jer. We never miss a beat when we take some time away. Jer is very special to me and he and I, I can confidently say will always be friends. I love you man. It took me the whole weekend for me to get to hang out with Jess. Jer, Jess, Melissa, and I hung out quite a bit when I was in Canada a few months ago. It was so great seeing her for the headlining slot at the end of the weekend. Jess, Jer, my new friend Sherry, and I, all got tegether At Jess's loft and hung out until 1:30 am. I miss hanging with you a lot Jess. That isn't even hardly a scratch on the surface of all the people I would like to mention here. Thanks go out to Curtis, Pastor Kent, Andrew Kitchens, Pastor Jeff, Rob \m/ Ball, Jeremy Churchill, Ernie Mac, etc. I know that I probably forgot some things, so please don't hold it against me. My memory doesn't serve me well sometimes.
Now that I am back, I am working 10 hour days all week and next. So here's to money. I will have some. Well I gotta go, it is time to go get the new Skillet cd.

Happy Friday! Today was payday. I bought some pants and a winter hat( I can't remember how to spell the word that is pronounced like tuke). Well honestly there isn't really anything new. So I will just talk about something I am doing. A bunch of years ago I puchased a 10 piece Ludwig rockers drumset. It was in ok shape 10 years ago and is in worse shape now. So I am refinishing these drums with a color yet to be determined. I am going to stain them some new color. The drums have a very pretty woodgrain on them so a nice stain and laquer will look incredible. I am also geting all new hardware for them and brand new drumheads all around. My drums will look amazing when they are done. This will cost me about 200 - 300 dollars. So I am stoked.
I just read somewhere today about some new dvd's that are coming out. One of them is all of the Beatles performances on The Ed Sullivan Show. This has the Beatles playing 20 songs in all. The only downfall is that it is entire episodes of the Ed Sullivan show besides the Beatles. I read that there are some pretty horrid things on there to see. The other is the complete first season of Space Ghost Coast to Coast. There isn't much that I really need to say about this the show speaks for itself. If you are from Canada, you might not know what I am talking about, but you will eventually.
I am really looking forward to seeing y'all up in Canada. I miss you guys very much. I am not sure who all reads this there, but to Dan and Laurie I am especially anxious to see you. I will add you to my links someday. Erin it is always good to see you. I can't wait. I don't really have much to say today. I don't feel funny.

Well I painted all day long today. I have paint speckels all over me. I have to say that it was such a wonderful day. The weather was so beautiful and sunny. I have the weather to thank for the new November farmers tan (thanks God, you have such a wonderful sense of humor). If I haven't said it yet, I really am enjoying my job. It isn't easy work, but it is fulfilling work. I have lots of time to think and sing when I am working by myself.
Today when I was buying the P.O.D. cd at Best Buy I misplaced my keys. I walked out to my car and noticed they were missing. So my first instinct was to check my ignition, nope, not there. So I went back into the store and retraced my steps, nothing still. So just as I was walking towards the check out, the girl who checked me out came running to me and jumped into my arms and said "were you looking for these?", no wait, that isn't how it went. She walked up to me and said "you left these at my register" and I said "thank you so much" and sounded like a sissy. I used my kind high voice, the one I get when I talk to some girls that makes me sound like a sissy. Some of my closer friends probably no the voice. The Tick would have said "From the diapragm sidekick!"
Which reminds me of a cool gift I got last Christmas. My brother Dan purchased me a bootlegged complete series of The Tick on dvd. There is 36 episodes and they run right at about 21 minutes a piece which comes to over 13 hours of The Tick. I must say there are moments where I think I have laughed myself almost out of my shoes. Anyway if any of my friends would like a Tick marathon, that would be lots of fun.
Talk to you all soon. It is shower time!!
Peace and love y'all

Word life \mm/. So Saturday night was the debut of my new band Iconoclast. It was so much fun. I think we went over pretty well, and I can't wait to play again. We played for about 25 minutes, and we felt that it almost couldn't have went any better.
The new P.O.D. cd entitled "Payable on Death" comes out tomorrow(November 4th). I have heard over half of the album already and it does have some new sounding stuff. I am real anxious to see where this cd debuts on the Billboard charts. Next Tuesday is the new Dream Theater cd called "Train of Thought". And the week after next is the new Skillet cd, "Collide". This will be a great month for me and music. Rock on.
My new job continues to go real well. I have no regrets cutting my hair for the job. It is nice to see a possible future starting to form fo me. Don't get me wrong, settling down isn't far from my mind, but nothing in the way a lot of people would think settling down is. I am still going to go full out as much with music as I can but I have something to fall back on now, a way to provide for myself and wife when I find her... someday soon. "Come to Butt-head"
Peace and love.
