HALLOWEEN PARTY

Photobucket

Saturday, October 24th, me and my buddy, Brian, are throwing a Halloween Pre Party. We thought this would be good planning so that if you do have little ones, you won't miss the party for tricks or treats. My band will be playing the event. Gracious Host Brian Ward will be serving free Vinson and Bison Burgers. We'd like you to bring a dish, so email your dish to Bward6@gmail.com so we can be sure you're not bring the 10th potato salad.

As for the band, Marc and Matt are great. We've been recording lately, finished all the drum tracks...just filling in some gaps for bass, guitar, and vocals.

It's a lot of fun to break apart something you've been playing for the last 2 or 3 years and make it into something more. I've enjoyed the experience of making a record and will forward to the next one.

Anyway, hope you can come out. Costume is optional. Its just a party ya know...

Till next time

Free as a Bird



Couldn't help but think of the Beatles "re-union" song off the Anthology disk as my WWII Trainer Plane proceeded take-off into sunny skies high above Kitty Hawk and Manteo off Roanoke Island. I've always been drawn towards WWII aircraft and the sexiness of a machine that is run by man and is not a slave to its system.

Modern Aviation is based on computer, charts and eeekk..gasp...Math.





Aviation of yesterday drew upon these things, but you didn't need to learn how to do calculations as much as you just had to have a feel for the machine and "work" yourself into it.

Flying in this war machine that eats gallons of the thick and sticky black remains of dinosaur bones every trip was the stuff that dreams are made of. Suddenly, certain ghost of the past or preoccupations just didn't seems relevant anymore. Certain hang ups I had 5 years ago seems trivial today. It was suddenly okay that sometimes things don't go the way you plan, and maybe the goal of life isn't to lock in "forever" and live through it, but to have fun LIVING "forever".

Yeah the best laids plans can fail, and people that you think are your life support turn out to be your cancer, but if you have the courage and strength to turn around, walk away, and say, I can do a little better than this shit, well, guess what? You can.

This all might sound pretty young, and maybe when I get over the 3-0 hill, I'll think differently, but what's the fun in living if you can't live. What's the fun of "being' if you can't "be". Thanks Capt. Challace.






"Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?

Where did we lose the touch
that seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...

Free as a bird,
like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird."

196

So, here we are, June...

Only a few weeks away from the Fourth, and my "holiday" pounds still haven't melted off...So..I'm gonna start working out twice a day and eating better, and my goal is to lose a pound a day.

I'm 196 lbs. I'll be trying to hit 176 by July 2nd. I'll twitter my weight everyday as an incentive to get back into shape.

In other news, we're working out a whole new set that will be ready for Prime Time @ our August 7th show @ Fat Tuesdays. I'm really excited about the direction my band has started to go, and I'm hoping we'll have some solid LP material by years end.

I've been working on a movie script with a friend, a little something to keep my creative writing alive. Might be two weeks or twenty years, but it'll be worked out one day.

Hope everyone is happy and healthy...

See ya down the road!

Donald Duck Orange Juice




So I had an epiphany the other day at the grocery store.

Remember Donald Duck Orange Juice. Shiny box, Shiny Duck...I could drink the stuff by the barrel(from concentrate of course) when I was a kid.

Tropicana, Pure Premium, Sunny D..Oh no!!! It was time for the duck.

Well have you tasted it recently?

It's fucking horrible...Warm Hi-C taste like fresh squeezed next to it...

The epiphany I had was pretty on the outside and/or face doesn't equal 100% of your body's necessary Vitamin C. Well, you know what I mean.

Beware shiny wrappers and the things you want to see and hear...
