I'm writing this from Rose Barracks in Vilseck Germany. I'm Stationed here as a Scout in US Army. I'm also married with kid on the way. Those two sentences do a poor job of summarizing the last few years of my life if anybody is still active in this Journal clique I'll let you know the rest.

Miss you guys

Wow. Been a while, eh? So. Yeah. How is everyone? ... anyone? :)

So here's the job: "They built two illegal singles into this apartment building on La Mirada. Now they need to have the drywall cut away so the electrical can be inspected." And why didn't we didn't just hang up on them? They're never gonna want to pay us the money we'll ask for this, it's a shit job in a shit neighbourhood and were over booked as it is.

The building manager can see I really don't want to deal with this shit so he tells me "don't worry it builds character."

I've been planning to go on a tear through Korea Town for a while now. I posted up a myspace bulliten asking my friends for suggestions and inviting them to come along.

The last while I've been buying up tickets like they're crack-rock or something. I'm going to four shows this week alone.

How goes dudes?

Coachella was really fucking cool, Tool fans are total fucking douche bags but they weren't much worse than the NIN fans of yesteryear. I made a mix-cd of all the bands I saw. A few friends of mine really liked it. So I figured I'd share

I just booked my hotel and bought my tickets I'm going to Coachella again this year. This time I'm going solo. Which will be way better for me. Nobody constantly whining about the heat.


In no perticular order the bands I'm looking forward to:
Depeche Mode
Daft Punk
Franz Ferdinand
Sigur Ros
TV On The Radio[1]
Ladytron
She wants Revenge
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Massive Attack[2]
Bloc Party
Art Brut
Stellastar*

Looks like a good idea. If they could get a few more shows on there they might have a winner. If they can get a deal with fox (so far the only major network to hold out) before 24 airs they stand to make some money. Now if I could get that in HD...*


List of Shows I want on iTunes:
24 (fox)
The Shield (fx)
The Wire (hbo)
