Where have all the Bloggers gone?
It seems that the whole blogging community has gone on vacation, including myself. I guess there is not much to write about these days. Anyway, I thought I would check in. I hurt my back on Monday. The doctor said it was a muscle spasm or a pinched nerve. I don't know what it was exactly but it hurt like Hell. I've never felt pain like that before in my life. I've been pretty much immobile for the past couple days and just got back to work, doing light work and not lifting anything. Thank you for all your prayers and concerns. Hopefully God took them as priority over my constant cursing and anger due to the pain. Looking forward to the trip down South with Almost There. Filling The Void will be doing possibly two acoustic shows with them in San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz. It will be cool playing our music for people who have never heard it before. Plus just being on a road trip with all the guys should be fun too. Almost There has some great new music which I am looking forward to hearing on CD. Keep praying for our band and its struggles. God can do things even when it doesn't look humanly possible. On another musical note, just bought Dead Poetic and Copeland's new albums. Both are really good. Dead Poetic has matured quite a bit, especially in their lyric writing. Not the same as the last album, musically, but it still has alot of great qualities to it. The song "Vices" is really powerful. Copeland is quickly becoming one of my favorite bands. They seem to progress each album they make. This one is called "Eat, Sleep, Repeat", which I love because it points to the monotonous, mundean aspects of life. The only way I can put this is the album is beautiful. From the artwork down to each song, it is a masterpiece. I loved their first record, In Motion was good, but this may be their best work yet. Aaron Marsh's vocals are amazing and their definitely is more of a theatrical presence to his vocals on this record than the last ones. So, I've been enjoying listening to those new albums trying to not think about my back. Much love to all my homies. By the way, did anyone see the Bears, 49Ers game. I believe it was 41-0 at Half. I don't remember the last time that has happened. If I only could have seen all those people who were laughing at me during the pre-season game. To say it was an ass-kicking wouldn't do it justice. DA BEARS!!!

All I know is Ben called you and you greated him with blood curdling whoots and hollars. I watched the Warriors game with Ben last night, it was interesting. The warriors lost. While it was an interesting experience, I'm not sure basketball tv is for me. I still prefer football, though even that doesn't quite do it for me. Peace. Lookin' forward to the "tour"!
Now that your back is more like mine, we should play some ping pong. I will give you a ten point lead so you can have some hope of winning. Sorry to hear abou your back, take it slow. Talk with you soon. TT
Not that it's any of my business (and not that I care enough to make a big deal about it) but I was curious if you will be voting after Adam Duritz "called you out" at the concert. By the way, this question is somewhat sarcastic so think I'm judging you. I know a lot of people who do. Judge in general, that is (though who knows, maybe they're only judging you!).
As much as I love Adam Duritz and the influence he has on me musically, I will not be voting. I think it is wrong to vote just because your of age or for the sole sake of voting. I think it is funny when people scream for others to get out and vote for politicians that they think are going to make the world a better place. No one wants to accept the fact that the world is caving in right before our eyes, and there is nothing we can do about it. So, thanks Adam, but no thanks!! Just do me a favor and come out with a new record soon, please.
For clarification, that meant to say "So DON'T think I'm judging you". And yes I agree about voting for the sake of voting.
