So its been a while again since I blogged. I find myself busy and overwhelmed with stuff I believe is important. Then I realize that it might not be, or that I am a complete lunatic. It sucks being the dude trying to come up. I'm sick of it. It sucks that musicians cannot make a decent wage just for working hard. Its like you gotta be famous or play covers to make money. People love food. People would rather spend 10 dollars on some shitty festival food and then 5 dollars on a ganja treat rather than buying a cd for 5 dollars, or even 2 dollars. Lots do buy thanks to the outragously cheap prices I ask. And it does feel good to make someone happy with the art one makes. Though I listen to our live stuff, and I hear potential.... But I listen to older live stuff with Crazy Coop and some of that sounds perfect. I really wish Pizza Zzz could play better. He always fucks up chords. He is 21 and it shows. I do not know If I should kick him out or let him stay.... Mike Merker is down with the band and wants to go into business with me with Z Kamp. He is smart and I trust him. Music can be simple. It can be complicated too. But when ones' skill level is very high, then its seams simple to play complicated. And when I got these songs that he can not get the chords right, and constantly fucks up the songs and turns up louder than anyone and sings out of key and is gonna be moving ina year... I just don't get it at all. It stresses me out. He can not play quick riffs. He messes up chords all the time, and it brings my confidence and live playing level down extremely. So I will talk to Mike about it.

Otherwise. I am disappointed in how I reacted to the media last year. I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall and it reminded me of the situation last year. I want to walk in the path of light and good. I do not deserve shit from people just because I dated someone. So I think I learned something, but I still seem to always forget. But I feel like my story and how I ended up with Shannon and Treypac is even funnier and more in depth. i almost did like Joe the Plumber and sold a book deal. But Clooney realized something too. As i sit in my 220 dollar Calvin Clien jeans tha I bought at Ross's Dress for Less for 5 dollars... i wonder... what to do? What is the right path?
