Its how we land

P.O.S.  did a song with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver fame. Two words... Skinny Love,
Which brings my fat ass to my next Blog.

We are going to open a bakery. Let me  lay some back track on that. By we, I mean Tory and I. I have bought the naming rights. A muffin shop called Cock Baby. Anyone get the reference? I have been informed if I have any interest in baking I may be a homosexual. Good news, I have zero interest in baking. I guess I can serve openly in the military than., Don't ask don't sell....me a muffin.  I don't even like sweets. If you could make like a ghost pepper muffin I may take a double take, but in the end Id move along. Sweets are like annoying women to me, they do nothing for me.  Regardless of my lack of interest in sweets Ive recently come to grips that I will always be fat. Or unhealthy, what ever you want to call it. I both enjoy and hate working out. Its my long haul health care paradox. That Ill probably take to my grave. So why invest? In a bakery. Clearly your delusional self conscious psyche have got to be doing it for more than then naming rights. Naming rights that of, Cock Baby. by the by Im not self conscious. And Im not talking to my self in a blog right now. Im sane. Im completely sane. Even if I do use the phrase by the by. Go ahead and start using that. I promise you it will make you sound an umph degree smarter. I do. But No! Im opening up the bakery because I believe in Victoria. She will be victorious. She is a fearless warrior women with the buisness sense of a democratic Donald Trump.  Meaning she will make money, and still be very generous. Any thing you can do, Tory can do better.  This is my friend, this is my buisness partner. And we are Cock Baby Bakery. Taking orders soon

My Sister

My sister is a scientist that doesn't believe in global warming. She believes that aliens are frequently monitoring our lame little planet. (and probing our cattle) She has an absurd distrust for our government. (as she should) She can write poetry like a wise pessimistic artist that has been doing it for years. She has the ability to do great things. She is a handful. She has a beautiful child who may have been a gift from god. She believes in the god particle, but not in god. She likes to leave long messages over my vox, after I clearly set a 30 second vox rule. (annoying) She often offers me blind praise the same way amaurotic mothers patronizes their disappointing children (Good job, great effort, I love you not matter what). She has been a disappointing child. But haven't we all?  She will never provide her future child with an awesome name like Mallurca, or an even cooler middle name like Boom! (MIA BOOM) She's an excellent speaker.  She can wing it. She can 25 cent wing it.  She is a cynic. Like most 20 something year olds in my family.  She believes she knows it all. Like most 20 something year olds in america. She is a crazy cat women with out the cat. She is a short person. She is a very short person. She will get older one day, She will say, Wow, I didn't know shit when I was younger. She is not there yet. She will no longer be a cynic. She will be a liberal. And she will pick a side because fighting the system ultimately gets you no where, Embrace the ultimate "give-up". I have. I have been the ultimate devils advocate. The ultimate cynic. She is my sister. And she is amazing. But what do I know, I still don't know shit at 30.

Rescue Trained

Hello world, My sister has inspired me to write a blog. While there are a million of things for me to talk about. Right now Im all of the things I was 12 years ago. You think I would have evolved someway.. The warning signs I had shown, you figure someone would of invested some time, or thoughts, or motivation my way. It turns out neither my self or my friends turned out to be rescue trained. Which brings me to my first Post. A good old fashion rock review..

Song title - Rescue Trained
Band - Further Seems Forever

Further seems Forever is a significant band in my emotional upbringing. An album that didn't really help me cope with my first significant break up but rather relive and conjure up that night over and over again potentially stunting any normal growth I would of had as a jaded ex lover to a well groomed life partner to the next girl to bat her eyes at me. The song Just Until Sundown, describes our last night completely. "I spent too many hours holding up walls,  standing in corners and clenching my jaw, watching you watching the ones that I wanted to be".....Well this album was over 10 years old. The band released 2 other albums since this memory, both with different singers.  I never really liked them since the first album. I was having a hard enough time coping with change. I wasn't about to invest in a new singer. The band also has another significant meaning to me. At the time I was in a band. I remember hearing the complexity of this album, (THE MOON IS DOWN) from the constant rhythm changes to the lyrical stylings. For example this band likes to sing over the whole song. This was a new concept for me. I showed it to my band and I said we need to be more like this, more complex, faster drumming, faster guitars, and catchy. This would be my final push to turn from nu-metal for good, and ended up in the downfall of my first band. The other members wanted to continue with our Finger Eleven/Korn era style. It did however leave to several other bands. We have all died, and Certain Friends Suck, to name a couple.

Further seems Forever, ended up breaking up a few years back. This past year they reunited, with the original singer. They have an album coming out 10/23/2012 and have released 2 singles. The song I am in love with is called Rescue Trained. It is quite amazing, if you listen to this song along side the album THE MOON IS DOWN, its like it never skipped a beat. Great lyrical rhythm. Interesting guitar riffs that do not steal the show. Perfect pitch yelling during the chorus, that begs you to scream along.  Alot of bands from the era have fallen flat, so for this song to be this good after so many years apart. Is amazing. I have high hopes for this album, I have included a link to the lyric video above, check it out.  I will be going to Boston November 4th to see this band live. I haven't been to a concert in long long time.

- SIDE NOTE - So my sister is a big Science nerd/conspiracy theorist - we have decided the name of my next band should Mr Higgins and the Tod Particles.
