Went and saw "Pirates Of the Carribean" last night... Didn't think the movie was as good as the first one but Johnny Depp of course, did a fine acting job. I read somewhere that he based his character off of Keith Richards...? Anywho, he did a great job. The special effects in it were primo as well.

I still think I liked Superman a bit more than "Pirates" but still a good flick.

... and no popcorn for me.

Happy hump day.

Got no sleep last night... Ended up watching TV til about 11:30pm and then laid in bed looking at my clock for at least another 2 or so hours. As you can imagine I am a grumpy little boy today.

I've been trying to blog pics from my phone and have been getting the shaft lately. Damn sprint service... anyways in case you were missing it, here is another picture of me.

Every Tuseday morning I make sure to check out this. It's a a guilty pleasure I know but I just can't resist. Anyways my spankin' new drumkit should be coming either today or tommorrow and I am pretty psyched about it. Like with anything else new all I can do is think about how it's gonna fit into my current lineup and how it's gonna be configured. The Junkeez have a show on Aug. 12th at the Marquee Theater and I'm hoping to have it dialed in by then so I can show it off in all it's glory. I'm such a drumming whore that I love showing things like that off.

... and now back down to real life.

Rising from the ashes of yet another weekend...
Thanks to all the friends who came down to Dos Gringos in Tempe on saturday to support the Chris, Randy, and Mike acoustic act. Those guys are great musicians and good friends and kudos again to them for letting me sit in. They also picked up all my drinks and food... very cool thanks guys.

As for my next show, I have one this Friday at Last Exit in Tempe with another band: CigarBox but being that it's only Monday I'll save the details for a little later in the week. Can't blow my wad too early...

Also had a great time hangin' out with my sis' Cameo yesterday. It was her birthday yesterday so once again the drinking hat came on which of course is not a problem for me. Had a good time hangin' out and it was great to see Cameo & Delany and all of her friends.

That is it for now... after I wake up I'll write more fascinating stories.

Happy Monday

Friday

2006-07-14T08:20:00.000-07:00

So, the big news for me in my little self indulging world is that I ordered a brand spankin' new drumkit yesterday. Yeah... I'd say it was an impulse buy but truth is I've had my eye on a new one for a while. Call it a belated birthday present to myself. I already have a kit that I use only for the Junkeez and I say "only" because after every show we play here I'm usually in too much of a "good mood" to break down my gear so our road crew ends up doing it and throwing it in the truck which proceeds to get locked up with the rest of the gear at the studio. Therefore it becomes one big pain in the ass to go get it afterwards... So I say screw it. I also have another smaller "B" kit which I use for another band that I play with which after this new purchase, will be deemed my "floating" kit. I'll probably use it for multi purpose gigs around town etc.... Bored yet?

Anyways, I am having a little bit of buyers remorse but I'm sure that once it gets here I'll giddy like a school boy.

In other news, it is Friday today and that always makes me a bit chipper. They say today is going to be one of the hottest days of the year... I say "bring it on!" Temperatures to reach 115 degrees so if you don't live in AZ, thank your cooled off little arses'. For those of us that do, make sure you wear the least amount of clothing as possible to stay cool.

I'm not wearing any underwear today.

Happy Friday.

This Saturday

Hey all you day drinkers... just wanted to remind you that if you find yourself with nothing to do this saturday afternoon and feel a thirst quenching feeling coming on then head on down to Dos Gringos in Tempe. Why? Because my buddies Chris and Randy will be doing their rockin' acoustic show from 4 - 8 and they've been kind enough to let me sit in with them for their set. Yeah that's right... yours truly will be on drums and rippin it up with them so if you like anything from the following list:

- Coronas w/ Lime
- Good music
- Tequilla shots
- Hot bartenders
- Outside Drinking and getting drunk

Then come on out, I believe this list covers just about everyone I know so you all have no excuses.

Be there... byatch.

For Chuck...

Good morning, good morning, good morning...

I figured today I'd try out some positive words and greetings to maybe have a more productive day. I'll let you know if it really worked. I've been really dreading walking into work lately and any little thing I can do to help spice up my work week I'm game for. Perhaps I'll try hazelnut coffee tomorrow instead of Cinnamon???

... sheesh'.

Anyways, I fired up the browser this morning and caught this article on msn.com. This one's for all you single people out there (which I assume most of you are) who may be second guessing your single status. And yes I actually read this whole thing. Kind of sheds some light on the "not - so - bad" side of being by yourself, as if re - runs of Sex In The City weren't enough.

Have a ...
Good day,
good day,
good day.

8 Hours straight...

2006-07-12T16:39:00.000-07:00

Didn't think it was possible to listen to Jazz for 8 hours straight, it is with Sirius. Probably the only radio channel that doesn't annoy the crap out of me.

After a night of much needed rest I'm finally wide eyed and awake. Although I can't really remember the last time I ever really got 8 hours of non stop sleep. My poor bod' has not seen that much sleep since I was in grade school. I don't know anyone who gets that kind of sleep man... I wake up at least twice during the night and only when I concentrate can I get back to where I left off. It seems like the older I get the less sleep I'm getting and the earlier i wake up on the mornings. Anyways, just thought I'd mention how nice it was to wake up on not have any one of these following things:

- Hangover (that's a big one)
- Headache
- 3 Hours of sleep
- Gas
- Regrets about what I did the night before

Why can't every morning be like this one.

Dragging Ass...

As I am typing this my head is literally on the desk. So damn tired... maybe I'm just gettin' to old for this sh*t.

Tired, hungover, grumpy, and lazy...

BUT, we had an awsome show last night!!!! Before I go on though let me just apologize to anyone who came out and couldn't get in because apparently it was an "Industry Invite Only" party. This little piece of information was not relayed to me which would have helped out ALOT. I ended up telling all kinds of people about the show and ended up feeling like an ass when I found out that news so once again, a big I'M SORRY to anyone who got turned away. I'll promise to be more on top of the ball next time about that kind of stuff.

Anyways, the good news is that the show was great and it was good to get back in the saddle again with the guys. It's been way too long. Definitely looking froward to the Aug. 12th show at the Marquee and that one I can assure you will not be invite only.

aaarrrgghh'

There is something about walking out of the gym into 100 degree weather after showering and still feeling like you just got off the treadmill. I've only been out of there for about 35 minutes and I already feel like I have to take another shower.

(sticks hands down back of pants...)

yup, definitely gonna need another shower.

Mondays hurt...

Most of you who read this know me pretty well so if you do you know how much I've been bitching about not playing any shows lately. Well tonight that gets put to rest for at least a little while. My band is finally playing a show tonight at Martini Ranch up in Scottsdale and I can't tell you how much I have been waiting for this. We really haven't played out in about 2 months and that has been 2 months too long. So if you're in the area tonight or have nothing to do then come down and get drunk... who cares if it's Monday. I'll be coming into work with a hangover so why should you be excluded from such fun?

On another note, I believe I'll also be sitting in with my buddies Chris and Randy over at Dos Gringos in Tempe on Saturday form 4 - 8. They have been kind enough to let me rock out with them during their acoustic set but don't let the "acoustic" word mislead you. They definitely get the party going. I'm looking forward to doing this just as much as tonight.

So there it is... I can stop my bitching about playing at least for this week. Next week, back to the yapping and complaining, blah', blah' blah'!!!!

Don't know what's up but I've been blogging like a mad man via phone this weekend and it seems as though none of it made it up to the site... Didn't want you to think I was slippin'. Looks like I gotta go buss' some heads over at blogger.com again.

Hope you had a good weekend. More blogging to come.
