What else should I be
All apologies
What else could I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don’t have the right
What else shoudl I be
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
I’m married
buried

I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I’ll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezerburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
All in all is all we all are

WHy? WHY?!

today at work floyd showed me this CD. i was not prepared for this. it was William Hung’s “Inspiration”. WHAT THE HELL!? he got a friggin record deal with Koch Records (ne’r heard of em) and he covers all these popular songs, from “She Bangs”, “Shake Your Bon-Bon”, “Circle of Live”, “Can You Feel The Love Tonight”, and others. he’s even got a track called “Inspirational THoughts: Passion”, where he talks about how he does this not for the money but for the art of singing. WHAT ART? It’s just a load of crap that this no name label put out to milk some money outa of Hung’s Infamy. apparently it also contains never before seen footage of him. On the cover he sports a Berkley sweat shirt and a big cheesy, crooked-toothed smile. This has got to be one of the lowest points of the music industry.

I’m even more pissed cuz i keep getting these stupid text messages. about a year ago, maybe less, i signed up for Yahoo! text message alerts, on news, weather, sports, and some other stuff. normally its been good alerts. i found there is at least one act of terrorism done almost everyday. neway, its been ringing NON-STOP with these stupid text messages about the pullitzer prizes. thats great, send me a brief summary, or who won the big ones, but not one text message for each winner! and i havent gotten any weather reports for the past week. grr!

iunno why im so angry. maybe its work. we had to move all the fridges, washers, dryers, and oven ranges back onto the floor, cuz they moved them off the tile to wax the tile. thats about 40 washers/dryers, 40 ranges, 40 fridges. all from 6am to 10am.

i also ate some bad meat on saturday. i came home around 5, and my mom was like take food fromt he fridge, and left to go somewhere. i knew there was this noodle thing, and i looked and there was also these steaks. they were in some sauce and pretty good lookin, so i took that along with my mom’s noodles. they were a lil pink, not too pink. medium i guess. and i eat them, and i feel alright i guess. and my mom calls later, “You didnt eat that meat did you? Cuz it’s not fully cooked.” Oops! well im still alive, and i feel alright.

AGH! another friggin text message! as soon as i read one and put my phone downt heres another one! if i break my phone cuz of this im suing Yahoo!

So today was the day i recorded Broken Vessels at Crystal Clear. my first recording session as recording engineer. it was a bit rough, got there at 12 and waited for Joey (the owner) to show up to open up the place. I had never used his equipment before. he thinks ive seen him use it cuz i sat in on sessions, but i only sat in on editting sessions, not recording sessions. neway, most of the equipment was vaguley familiar, and after the first track was laid down i got in the flow.

Joe laid the beats down. HOTT beats. said he used fruity loops. good stuff. reminds me of pharell. kinda looks like him a lil bit too.

messed up a wee bit. first song i wanted them to record each vocal on a seperate track, but guess i wasnt clear, cuz they switched up and where ont he same track. but i think it’ll be alright and we can fix that on the mixing process. after the second song though we had it all worked out, and they knew what to do.

later we were doing phils part and he needed to go over some of his words, and when i went to punch him in, i had forgotten to engage his track. such a stupid rookie mistake. he had to go back and RErecord his lines from that point.

i do have to give em props cuz tehy were well rehearsed and most of it got done in one take, two at the most. except where i messed up the one time.

i coulda been a better engineer. =\ i think i like live sound better than studio, just cuz its a bit more dynamic. then again, we were only recording vocals. there were 6 songs, bout 30 minutes for all of em. 4 vocal tracks, 2 beat tracks per song, all took 4 hours to lay down. we’re gettin together to mix n edit thursday evenin. hopefully ill get more sleep and be able to think properly.

i ate some bad meat. ill write bout that later

last ngiht i only had $45 left in my bank account. today is not a pay day, next friday is. but, when i checked my acount this mornin, well 2 minutes ago, i had MUCH mor than that. i was very confused.

Had i drawn the Chance card: “Bank Error in Your favor collect X amount of dollars”? no i realized when i looked a the amount that it was my tax return. the return for the taxes which i e-filed only less than one week ago! SWEET!

BTW, happy bday Pinky n SHoes! it was yesterday, April Fool’s day. funny, ha. dinner tonight at Uno’s.
