Title Here

I don't have a title for this post because I have nothing to talk about. I went and saw the WCR derby on Saturday night. It was pretty cool. Megs and I met up with Jerrod, his girlfriend Jaime, his brother and his dad. WCR wiped the Ft. Wayne team up 128 to 28 I believe was the score. Ft. Wayne got lead jam 2x...that's insane. They just need some more time to develop strategy and and work more as a team.

Oh yeah, if any of you need a new show in your life to suck up your time, check out Dexter. It's a showtime show. The first season is done and I believe the DVDs are out now. It's damn good.

Reptoids are playing in Madison, WI this Friday (March 2) at a pizza joint. I can't think of the name of it, but I'll post it soon...or I guess you could just go to the myspace page (myspace.com/reptoids).

Philisophical Rambling

I had one of those weird moments the other day. You know the kind where you wake up next to a sheep and realize that you can't remember it's name and have to hurry to get the hell out of the apartment before it wakes. Then you realize that it's your apartment. There's clipping shears next to the bed and your blanket is warmer and you have a new sweater.

Wild.

Actually, it was one of those moments where you have an epiphany about the fact that nothing we (humans) do matters. We only work to fill time, and by filling time we gain money to live comfortably before we die. I guess if we didn't have this, then we would all go insane, nothing would get done. However, it's still fucked up. Our meaningless jobs. Take a doctor even. Their job is to make you better...for what? To live longer and do insignificant things. So does that make them insignificant?

Who knows. What a rambling piece of crap aye?

Not 6 months inbetween

Ok...so I'm posting on this thing again! Mike requested longer blogs (I still hate that word), but I can't guarantee that.

Reptoids played in Madison this past weekend at Der Rathskeller (sp?) and it was pretty fun, however, I thought more people might have been there as the show was free. Oh well. Skaput! a ska band, let us use their drum kit which was pretty rad of them. Rogue Dolls were good. They seemed a bit new at it, but nevertheless they played decently and did some pretty great covers (i.e. Le Tegre and 99 Luft Ballons).

We're going to be in Madison again on March 2 for all you Wisconsinites.

Also, I'll be recording the new Numbers Don't Lie disc this March. I can't wait. It's always good to record and get back in the studio with those guys.

School this semester is going to kick my ass. It's a pretty cool class (Basic Audio Systems), but don't let the name fool you. It's really not basic. It's all Logrithms and crazy math to find voltage and wattage and the correlation to decibels.

On a somewhat related note, Tom Harter has asked me to master his disc for 10 songs in 30 days. It's basically the same thing as writing a novel in 30 days (I can't think of what that's called...but it's in October if I remember correctly). The stuff has to be done by the end of Feb. I'm receiving the first disc this week, so I can't get that started immediately this weekend. I also have some design work to finish up. MUST GET ASS IN GEAR.

That's it for now. Any questions?

clearing the cobwebs

I guess I've been pretty lazy these days. So Mike made me post again. Son of a bitch.

Hope all is well with my friends. I've been busy, but lazy. It's possible, trust me. (look up procrastination in the dictionary).

Reptoids are good. We just played a show at the Double Door, which is huge (not physically, but professionaly..I guess you could call it that). We've also played at the Empty Bottle. Playboy apparently put the Empty Bottle in their top 10 places to see music.

What's left? The Metro. When that happens, you all can come and be on the guest list. The one that you have to pay to get in on.
