Through The Looking Glass....

Man what a day....no gas in the car, no money for gas, no going to work because of it. Its a vicious cycle, and perfect proof that when it rains it fucking pours.

.....Moving on.......

I really wish the weather would improve, this overcast bullshit is exactly that. I don't mind that it's gotten cooler out, as that is par for the course up here in good ol' New England, it's just that when it gets shitty and rainy I find myself more tired and less motivated. Bleh.

SPEAKING OF FALL OR "THIS TIME OF YEAR"....

I am so sick of people going on about the leaves changing color. I mean seriously, you people do understand you're wasting gas to go look at something that happens EVERY FUCKING YEAR, and is nothing more than a sign that the leaves are slowly dying....right? I mean how morbid are you motherfuckers?! "Oh but its so beautiful!!" Oh spare me that shit. If it was something that happened every once and awhile, sure I could understand the fascination with it, BUT COME ON PEOPLE.

.....Meanwhile Uptown......

I could really use a candy bar right now. Yep.

But seriously folks, what the fuck is up with music these days? Metal is being taken over by whiny high pitched voiced emo kids in skinny jeans, rap and pop are trying to become techno....its almost like its time for a reset in all genres of music. Don't get me wrong, there are alot of bands out there who are great, and making great music, but I feel as if the virus that is cookie cutter or formulated music, is spreading faster and faster. Which sucks.

I would LOVE to find or form another band and do it the way I think it should be done, but unfortunately there is jack shit that I can find out there right now, which sucks, because I hate sitting on my proverbial ass.

Hell at this point, I wish I had my own practice space, so I could do all the parts of it myself, or even have some of my awesome musician friends help out with it. Man that would be awesome, but at this time not even close to being feasible.

Well that's all for now folks!

PS. 13 years ago today my grandmother Claudette died. Rest In Peace Granny, I still miss you with all my being, even after all these years. I'll never forget you, or Pepere.
