Pandora + What's New

I've been working on new music that is definitely unlike most of my other stuff but I'm really excited about how it sounds so far. Hopefully it will be done relatively soon and I can post it here. Actually I don't even have lyrics yet but will post them when they come along. have any lyric ideas?poems or whatnot? let me know.

Also, Pandora is amazing so you should check it out at the bottom of the page. You can create your own custom stations that are taylored to your fav bands and/or music preference. One great song followed by another with no commercial or dj interruption. Now that's my kind of radio station!

And They're Back

An event of epic proportion took place two days ago. This last Wednesday I took a trip back in time, literally, to Pomona to see one of my favorite bands from high school. weird. i'm old. the band's name is Far (a pioneer of emo, according to the OC Times) and ten years ago they broke up. However, under the guise of Hot Little Pony they reunited for a world tour consisting entirely of Pomona and Hollywood, Ca. and the UK. i was giddy with excitement and anticipation as the band took the stage, Jonah (singer) wore a plastered smile from ear to ear, the experience surreal. They did not disappoint. In the pic you can see Daniel and I'm next to him in the shadows i swear! You can also check out a clip from the show to the right: Far @ the Glasshouse ---------------->

Hot Little Pony

Tonight has been long awaited. I will be making the trek up to Pomona to the Glasshouse (a monument from older times) and will be partaking in the experience formerly known as Far. Far happens to be one of my favorite bands of all time who broke up in the late nineties. Tonight will be the first show they will play together since they broke up. If I'm lucky I'll have some stage diving, crowd surfing, sing-a-long screaming fun!!

Best Friend and Brother

Stay
A little longer
Before you make your way back home
And I'm left alone

Life
Had its way
Of stealing you away too soon
Left us lost without you

But I'll try
To survive
Without you
By my side

Autumn leaves
Lead to longer nights
The knife tears the heart
Hard times have come
Comfort comes for no one

Silence washes
Over bodies
Clocks they tick
But time stands still

But I'll try
To survive
Without you
By my side

J-Tree

So I've been thinking a lot about Joshua Tree because we're heading there next month (November 7th to be exact) I remember last year was my first trip with Straight Up as Dan's assistant and man, was it one for the record books! Campers yelling at us, anonymous urine soaked bathrooms, free salon quality haircuts in the middle of the night. Seriously though I can't wait for the rock climbing and crawling through pitch-black caves! Will you be there?

Today Has Been Ok

So I think that this thing is just about up and running, not that there's anyone who'll actually read it but whatever. For those of you Straight Up Junior High students who have tons of questions swirling around your mind about God or Jesus, Obama or McCain, or even just wondering what i do in my spare time...please feel free to ask those questions here. This is an open forum to ask and discuss and learn a thing or two about one another. (But it's still mainly for me to go on and on about random stuff)
