2010, Comin round tha bend....

Holy shit wow 2009 is almost done with. Whoo-wee! Ahm lookin forward to tha new year, THA FUTURE!

Ahve been in a fight w. December - ah figured tha only way ta make it thru this month was ta come out fists blazin. First thang first, ah took a day off, n gawt sick. As ah was recoverin, ah scouted ta nova (see below - man, ahve been slackin this month on writin journal posts). Work was nutso, n ah mae sure ta keep every second ah had outside booked w. auditionin a new WTB vocalist (hopin she works out - sings real nice n knows her shite!), auditionin my own band (Drummers already flaked - we'll see if tha guitarist sticks around), musick, sfbc outreach trainin (so ah ken werk tha sweet places), xmass gift shoppin, cutting off my goatee, n of kerse, tha holidaze in Buffalo.



Tha turbulence before tha Great Lakes was one of tha worst ahve evah experienced, but ah made to n from BNIA without much problem. Buffalo was a mixture of sleep, food, family, and booze. Ah believe mom counted 35 er so people overall - 5 of which were between tha ages of 3 months n 8 years, which were (ahem) uber-cute n hella fun.

Sadly, nawt a single fawkin picture was taken as far as ah know at this Xmass, which was a really really good one.

December has pretty much backed off, altho ah did throw up aftah yoga fer tha first time evah (wtf), n ahm feelin pretty good about everythang. Thar was anutha surprise, from my alma mater....ahll extrapolate at a latah time.

Tomorrow is tha last day of 2009. Ah can't say 2009 was a bad year - plenty of good stuff happened (n nawt much bad). Just that ahm supah fawkin excited about 2010.

Instead of new years resolutions, ahma set some quantifiable goals fer myself in 2010. Expect me ta be postin/editin them soon.

2010 is when it all comes togetha people (altho maybe ah said that last year, hah!)

Want some more pics?

Ah gawt em - n yes, this is a blog post BEFORE tha weekend, instead of ABOUT one. Ah know, ahm just so crazy none of you ken keep up w. me!

So a few weeks ago WTB played a Battle of the Bands at a pretty nice venue here in SF. It was hilarious - we gawt totally swamped by these two high skool bands. Ridiculous. Luckily ah had my good friend alcohol to git me thru it. Also, we took some more photos w. our kickass photographer Nissa Nicole. Here's one of me and Jamie:

N one of everyone else (we've decided ah need my own riser cuz ah git lost behind all tha fawkin vocalists):

Tha gig was a success ah guess b/c we gawt asked back to play a real show - no battle of tha bands, n while it'll still be an all-ages event, tha adult bands will play later then tha young ones. We'll git some more photos then ah hope....

Food is a big part of my life out here - livin on my own (well, w. roommates, but we don't share groceries or cook togetha - partially cuz they are nawt as good at cookin as ah am, but also b/c our schedules are vastly different). My diet is nawt all that different from what it was back in NOVA (at least since ah went veggie), altho thar are certainly a lawt more burritos in my life. Ahve been tryin ta cook from scratch as much as possible, but it doesn't always werk. Anyway, tha big change is ah gae thru avocados like fawkin crazy - at least 2 a week. Saturdays and Sundays a part of my routine is to make coffee n a good breakfast - here's last Saturday morning:

Those are heirloom tomatoes from tha hippy grocery store up tha street. Mmmm.

Ahll bet you are all interested in how my facial hair is too, right? Well, ah continue ta git really glowin feedback from tha current style, so it will be around fer a while longah. Ahve also started growin tha goatee part out a bit - ah think ahm sorta waitin until people start tellin me it's outta control n nae longah attractive. Fer now, everyone thinks its pretty awesome tho. This is me last week:

Ah also gawt an upgrade to my drum kit fer tha next few months until my buddy comes back to git it. Unfortunately ah totally fergawt ta snap a pic of it yesterday when ah set it up, but ahll try ta remembah ta dae so when ah gae in tomorrow.
