"To say that we have gotten ahead of ourselves,
Is a giant understatement!
To say that i was selfish, headstrong and wrong,
should be enough to feed your ego for now.
We were cursed from the start!
Well this is how the story goes:
It was the wrong place
At the wrong time!
Oh well we've come so far
Put the road to hell behind us.
This is how the story goes,
They'll never come to find us."
-MOZART SEASON.
Let me start out with this:
the new Mozart Season EP is so fucking good.
I legitimately had goosebumps and tears in my eyes the first time I listened to the first new track.
and it's not because I'm some super-fan..
I've been there from the start, when Nate and I were sitting in English senior year trying to pick a band name.
I've watched the growth and development of the band.
I'm so impressed and fucking proud of how far they've come as a band and as individual musicians.
the new shit isn't even comparable to the last recordings they did
Nate and the rest of the boys have big things coming their way
i can feel it.
and I'm so proud of you.
as someone who has listened to hours and hours of your playing over the last few years
it sounds so amazing on the new record
you keep getting better.
I can't tell you directly
but just so you know.
I've spent the last 2 weeks of my break having a blast.
This is the 3rd night out of the last 2 weeks that I'll be sleeping at my own house.
spent a while in Bakersfield and then spent the last week in Sacramento
quality time with quality people.
Although I kind of over-partied.
There are probably only a few days out of the last two weeks that I was actually sober.
I've consumed more beer, liquor, nicotine, caffeine, and other substances in the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 6 months.
that's probably also the reason I've had a cold/cough the entire time.
all that matters is that I had a good ass time, and that i rarely rage like that.
A few days ago a close friend of many of my close friends passed away due to his cancer.
a group of us had all been out drinking that night and found out shortly after we all got back to Nate's place.
the eerie part of it is that we had been talking about him
and toasting tequila shots at the bar in his name at almost the same time he passed away.
Although I wasn't close friends with him,
many of my friends were
and it hurts me so bad to know that they're all hurting.
I know what they are going through, and I know how hard it is.
I will be attending his funeral to support my friends and help celebrate the life of someone who had such a positive impact on his friends.
RIP Bryan LeMasters
I have high hopes for 2009.
I hope it really is a year of change.
new year's eve was a blast and for the first time since the previous 3 new year's eves it wasn't an emotional one!
hahah
if the last 2 months are any sort of preview to what the rest of 2009 will be like
then i will be so happy.
I got hired on for another music video shoot next week
and will be made an official part of that crew
which equals pretty consistent work, and getting paid a day rate :-)
big things are coming.
The next two months are going to shoot past me.
school is over Jan 30th
my surgery is feb 4th
and then I'm out of commission for about 3 fucking weeks afterwords.
fast forward to March, then it's time to get a bar tending job and make some damn money.
"My diving bell drags you down to the bottom of the ocean"
--"I don't mind you dragging me to the bottom of the ocean because you are also my butterfly."
That quote is from an amazing movie I watched this week.
"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly."
the movie is made after a book that a completely paralyzed man wrote by blinking his eye for each letter.
so fucking amazing.
watch it.
until next time
