Fear Me

I haven’t written anything in a while because I’ve been getting my summer on track and going to weddings and stuff. I promise I’ll have updates in the near future.

Thank you to Peter Rutcho, Aaron Burke, Bassil and Nick from Powerglove, Nino MegaDriver , Chris Dlugosz and Max Cavalera for being so willing to chat about stuff.

I’m really looking forward to not having to deal with these early mornings anymore. Provided I don’t have to work my gym time at this ungodly hour over the summer.

In any case, here’s a picture of a kitten.

(Me doing what I do best last summer)

”Man, its like anything, if you want it you’ve gotta put the work in and effort into finding out whats around and get on that soapbox and sell some damn soap. Maybe you meet someone with common interests, do some things for them they’ll give it back to you, ya know. Karma, human decency. I recently found that a lot of people make far to many excuses and feel helpless (I’m totally one of em’) when in fact its your life man, nobody can live it for you. All you have to do is prioritize what you want, figure out how to get it, then do it. You set you’re own limits.”

My good friend and musical colleague Vince Jackman wrote me that on Facebook the other day and it really got me thinking about everything I want to accomplish over the next four months. With the semester coming to close in the next two weeks and the sun blazing as I write this, now is as good as time as any to lay the groundwork for what will surely be my most productive summer yet. I’ll need as much support and motivational kicks in the ass as I can get. So without further delay…

1. Complete the P90X workout to a T.
2. Attain a basic grasp on the Finnish language.
3. Get an entire left arm sleeve dedicated to Street Fighter.
4. Move out into a rad new place with good friends.
5. Get a sweet beater car that will be a good continuation of my former Outrider and Millenium Falcon.
6. Record a debut album or EP
7. Play all the possible local venues I can with Hell Born Death Engines (The Distillery, Verns, Lord Nelsons, Broken City, etc.)
8. Go to Vancouver for a week and reunite myself with partner in crime Jeff Galbraith for a party bender that will surely end all worlds.
9. Get published in at least one larger scale publication.
10. Save a decent amount of money for next school year and my future Scandinavian backpacking adventure.
11. Get my foot in the door in the realm of voice acting.
12. Do as much camping and rafting as possible.

And there you have it. Nothing is out of the realm of possibility. Wish me luck.

Well, two out of the three teams I really like are going to be playoff bound so I’ll just say it right now.

Nashville out of the west, Jersey out of the east. Long live Pekka and Marty.

Oh, yeah, and fuck Pittsburgh.
