What to say...Let us see...It 'tis be spring break and I of course have nothing to do, no where to go...Just staying at home and working all break long...But, that means lots of money for me to spend on more stuff for my drum kit...
Don't know what to say really...Not much in the band area since Graham is in Italy till June, so there isn't much to do but, jam with Luke and get new ideas for material to use when Graham returns...
We recorded a few songs before Graham departed...They're kind of rough...Check them out at:

Well, I think I'll start with my band...You know that small group of people (3-10) that play instruments...We used to just have three members, but now we got a new one! A really amazing bass player, Graham Cornwell...He joined about a month ago, and we've been slamming out songs left and right...So, it's been going really well though we haven't practiced for over a week...
I would really like for us to get a small demo recorded (a good one) maybe even an EP of sorts, we have enough songs...I want to send them to venues in Portland and Salem area, so we can get big shows and maybe get some good money...And maybe, just maybe get a record label interested in us and possiblely want to sign us and tour around...That would really nice awsome...But, one can only hope..........Fuck hope, lets go fucking do it!!!!

The Time I Used To Hate...
I see it's been awhile, nearly a month...Anywho, never really thought my life would be so busy most of the time...School, Work, Practice, Hanging Out...Usually always doing something...It's almost difficult to find time to do anything now-a-days...
The band has hit, not so much of a "rough spot", more like a "trench"...Andrew will be moving to Texas soon to live with his girlfriend...So, that means Luke and I have to start searching for a bass player and a singer, fun stuff eh?
End...I used to hate time, but now I hardly have any...

Learn...Practice...And, Work...
Wow...it's been a while, hasn't it? I guess you could say a lot has happend...but, knowing me it won't take much room to write it down, since I don't explain in detail...
Well I started my new job two weeks ago at Dairy Queen...It's pretty good, I like having a job...I can't wait to get my first pay check, that'll be really nice!!
And, school started last Wednesday as well...I only have four classes out of six periods...No first or second...It's nice to sleep in till 10:00:D
Well, other then that, not much else...haven't practiced in about a week and I'm hoping we'll practice tomorrow...Oh yea...We got a show on the 26th in Dundee...Come check us out, it's going to be awsome!!!
Bye-Bye

Finally...I got a job interview...Went to it yesterday and got the job...I start next monday or tuesday at Dairy Queen...Fun stuff, eh? Finally going to make some money and be able to buy cool stuff...WooT!!!
Other then that, not really much to talk about...Going to Guitar Center with Luke tomorrow, that'll be lots of fun...And, then we get to practice tomorrow too...I love practices, I get to play my drum kit...I love my drums...Wish I had like $30 to buy new drum spurs for my bass drum, because it keeps sliding away when I play...
Bye-Bye...

Book Us, Please...No Fights, Promise...
This is turning into a once a week update thing...Oh well, it's not like anybody really reads this that much...Anywho...
The band had a really good practice today...It was amazing, everthing was clicking...Added awsome new this to songs to make them sound even more amazing...And, every now and then we would little jam sessions which are really fun..."Courts of Choas" is almost finished...2 and a half months in the making, and it sounds great!!! We even have a couple of ideas for new songs...The last two practices didn't go so well and it was really fucking nice to have a really good one finally...
I really want to play another show...We've gotten really good and we want to show people...But, pretty much the only place we could get a show, stopped doing shows, due to some assholes fighting at the last one...But, we're going to try to convince him to let us and a couple of our friends bands play soon...
Peek-a-boo!!!

Yesterdays practice was great...We're working on singing and playing at the same time, now that Gabbie left...It's going really well...Andrew is able to sing for "Fear" and our new song...Luke is probably going to sing for "Trends" and "Courts of Chaos"...And, I get to sing for "I Know"...This being that it's difficult to sing and play guitar or bass for that song, and I can sing while I play the drums...Fun stuff, eh?
I forgot to call Gabbie today to talk to her about getting a show on the 10th of September...I have to remember to call her...It'll be nice to play a show again...It's so much fun!!!
Anywho...That's about all for now...

The Search For New Talent Begins...
And now the search begins...Today at practice Gabbie informed us that she is leaving the band...Because that she is having difficulties balancing practice between both of her bands...
It's going to just a tid bit difficult to find another person to replace her...But, we have not quite figured out if we're going to get a new bass player, or a new singer, or a rythem guitar/singer...But, we do konw that we want another chick...We just couldn't handle having another guy or possibly two...We've just been used to having a girl in the band and we couldn't get used to having just guys...But it's going to be so hard to find a female bass player or rythem guitar/singer...It shouldn't be too difficult to get a female singer...We'll have to figure something out...

I got a lovely sun burn on my arms and a mild one on half my face...I accomplished this be attending Red Bull Flug Tag Portland 2004 today...For those that have no idea what Flug Tag is, here's a quick explanation...People build some type of air craft that they think will glide...And, then they get pushed off of a tall platform over a river and see how far they can get...It was great fun...We had to wake up at 7:30 this morning and then left around 8:45 and got there at 10:30 about...There were 25 teams that flew/fell off the platform...Two of them flew/fell 45 feet...They got the farthest...Then we left around 4:00 and came home and I've been sitting on my computer ever since...
Two weeks left till we play at IRM Fest Battle of the Bands...We got a lot of practicing to do to be ready...We'll probably play: I Know, Fear, Courts of Chaos, Ending Sky, and Trends if we need to, to fill the set...We should be ready...We just need to work on Courts of Chaos and Ending Sky a lot...Ending Sky is almost finished...But, Courts of Chaos still needs quite a bit of work...
I'd like to get a show downtown at Third Street Pizza...That would be nice...We're just going to have to get ahold of Adam and see if there's anything he can set up for us to play...
Good Times...
