  • New Music

    Every once and a while, I get a bug up my ass to listen to some new music. Sometimes this is a good thing, other times not – this is due to the quality of the new music that I select. I already made mention of the new Chicago album, XXX, which I still enjoy…

  • Time for an update…

    Instead of writing several posts about what is going on with my life, I think 1 post with brief snippets of info will suffice. 1) My job search continues. I have determined that Monster.com is the greatest job website. I post my resume on there, and people call me about potential positions. After updating my…

  • Tell me what it is I’m meant to do…

    Last night was the RA concert. Freaking awesome as usual. I cannot complain about a RA concert because I have seen them 4 times in Phoenix (including their first Phoenix show at The Mason Jar a few years ago) and they are always great live. If I did have to mention anything, it would be…

  • Saturday Night’s Alright

    Saturday night was fantastic. I was lookin’ particularly money for a spectacular event – the Ben Araiza / Chain Link Faith show! And since I was lookin’ money, I was feelin’ money! It had been a long time since us guys (Rickey, Randy, and I) had really been out on the town, and this was…

  • One point Twenty-One JigaWatts!

    Mark spent this past weekend in California, where he visited Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood. A couple of his pictures got me thinking about the classic blunder of Doc Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy, where he refers to the amount of electricity needed to power the DeLorean for time travel – 1.21…

  • Small World…

    Friday night was a lot of fun. Of course, it was also one of the most fucked up nights of my life… Disclaimer: This may be a long post Anne Short asked us (Randall, John, and I) to come out to see a friend’s band. John wasn’t able to make it, but Randy and I…

  • Masking the Sun

    On my drive home today, I realized that I had not heard Clouds Over Phoenix* (right-click, Save Target As…) in quite a long time. It seems to be the correct dose of medication for me right now. I thought I would share it with those of you who may not have heard it before, and…

  • Walking and Thinking

    From the air I see your loneliness You carry on despite your fear Inside a box you keep your sanity And it will never seem clear, to me Over the hills, the light, it flows… It shows the angels laughing Where is the love that we’re supposed to find? Lost in a maze of games…

  • Holy music creation, Batman!

    I downloaded the free trial of Sony ACID Pro 5 last night and installed it. I really wanted to experiment with some of the looping capabilities, which is something I have never done before. I took a look around the software, played the demo song, and decided to give it a go. But my mouse…

  • Happy Happy Joy Joy

    You ever get one of those pleasant surprises at the end of a long day? The kind that totally change your day from a negative into a positive? Yeah, I had one of those yesterday. Not that it was a horrible day yesterday, but just one of those that dragged on and on. When I…
