See Jim Light His Management, And Watch Dan Lose His Tournament July 31, 2006 No Comments

The morning of what just happened here turned into a day of sleeping till 6pm, whew haven’t done that in a long while. Body can’t handle hanging out with youngsters anymore, someone said that when you’re around 30 you can’t take being ‘hardcore’ anymore, I’m going to have to tend to agree, however this old [...]

A strange evening, started with watching Permanent Record, A Violent Femmes concert and music video collection, pick it up if you have some extra money laying around and you won’t be disappointed! I remember Bevis and Butthead loved the ‘Breakin’ Up’ video, and I’m right there lovin’ it with them. Beast, Neeka, Crystal and I [...]

One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This July 29, 2006 No Comments

A nice evening downtown Austin, first in a long time, Rolando comes from LA, and we meet up with Ashley and the crew. Ashley and her friend, doing their part to keep Austin weird, by hula hooping in the middle of the street and wearing some crazy stuff. Roland is now becoming a steady here [...]

Round One goes to PMI — Yea, no ego crusher, I just underestimated the difficulty of the test. What’s another 400 bucks to retake in a few months, in the perspective of it all. Worse part about failing a test like that is everything in the past few years that has troubled you comes bubbling [...]

Hopefully I’ll get a nod or wink from the Gods. If I don’t pass, I’ll know why, I know what I’m weak on, If I pass, I’ll be at Crown and Anchor tomorrow night getting blitzed. Let’s talk about what’s conventional….Study for months and months, a balanced concerted effort, phased learning and all that jazz. [...]

Acronym overload, can’t memorize anymore, my feeble little brain is about to explode. All you pray’ers out there, let the praying begin. One of those boring pictureless posts, but hey, everything lately has been slipping by the wayside in preparation for the test Thursday. I covered my bad points this weekend and worked on my [...]

I Try to Focus, I’m Starin’ At the Screen, Pretending what I know what All These Little Flashing Lights Mean July 20, 2006 No Comments

A bit disheartening when you sit there for 4+ hours taking a practice test and all you can muster is a 60.57, you need 61 to pass, wonder if they round up? The questions are intimidating, misleading, and downright shitty at times. Reading all this project manager is omnipotent jazz and trying to figure out [...]

Trainwreck, a cover band that plays out in the burbs was the tunes we listened to at the venue ‘The Roadhouse’, a place that has the same atmosphere as my hometown. The brothers in law and I ‘painted the town,’ so to say. It’s crazy, I used to have Crown and Anchor as my local [...]

Blogging is fun, and a nice with Mike P always gives me inspiration to write something up, even though he’s one sick and twisted individual. hahaha I’m still coming off cloud 9 from the gig at the Hollywood Bowl. Often I call people in the middle of gigs, when a song reminds me of someone, [...]
