While I'm thinking of it, look at winterriver.net. If you want a posting account or some webspace, shoot me an email and I'll think about it.
Okie dokie. Things are straight. Invites to the listening party will go out in the next few weeks. From there I'll select a format to release. My HOPE is that I can summon enough money to release it on vinyl. I was quoted somewhere in the vicinity of $900. As long as I don't give any copies away I'm sure I can get that back. The thing is that I'd rather just give it away but I'm not going to throw 900 bucks out the window. I don't know, I'd like to see SOME return on it.
Again, I apologize for my hiatus. Everything has happened and it happened for a reason. I've experienced personal tragedy after personal tragedy. Right now, I'm doing the best I have been in such a long time and have been like this for 10 months.
Being out of the scene helped for which I seriously doubt I'll be fully back in. I don't like being stalked, abused, and other things I won't say in public all because of my art. It scared me and gave me a wakeup call.
I gave my trust away too easily for which it'll never happen again. So many years wasted because my mind wasn't in the right place for which it'll never happen again.
For those of you who think I hold some kind of grudge: I hold no grudges anymore. Haven't in a long time. I just only make time for those who ask. I don't spend a lot of time on the internet. In fact, I don't even really use any type of digital communication. Sometimes, I might spend 5 minutes on AIM and then go months without logging on. The internet just doesn't interest me anymore. It's not eliteism or anything, believe me.
I look back at the years I've spent on computers and the internet and feel kind of ashamed. There were a few years that I wasted every spare moment on Ragnarok Online or talking to people through AIM because I was too uncomfortable talking to people in public places. It's different now: I spend more time with my family and friends and try hard to better myself in one way or another every day.
I'm also working on another website that simply details cool shit I find, obtain, build, or whatever. It feels out of place here so... that's why I did that. Also, I've also been taken on as a producer for an artist that has recently been signed to Universal Music. This is relatively new so I don't have many details nor can I really give what information I have until all the paperwork settles and things are set up. It should be a fun experience.... except whenever we take a field trip to Guitar Center.... for which I ALWAYS end up buying something. Last time, it was a snare drum from Orange County Drums.... don't get me wrong, it's a fucking AWESOME snare drum and such a nice upgrade............ but I'm sure I need a new pair of shoes or something.
Also, I'll publically admit for the record: I've switched to pescatarianism. I feel a lot healthier after doing so since, as some of you well know, I was obsessed with unhealthy amounts of beef products. Structuring a diet such as this gives me a chance to be creative and actually think about what goes into my body so I'm not shitting out fire or anything.
And on that note, I'm going to take a nap.
