| ....once again, it has been YEARS since i have updated this ....
so i sit here looking at this screen feeling as if i should be writing about something amazing that is going on my life, or even have a purpose for jotting something down..... but i don't....
life has been kind of weird lately, i am becoming more and more uncertain about what i want out of life, or what my goals are... however i do feel as if one thing is certain, i do long for change... to what extent, i am not sure, but i long for something new, whatever that might be...
the band will be finishing up vocals on next saturday, which means that we will be putting something out within about 2 weeks time or so.... which has become WAY over due.... we are also going through a name change, its not decided yet, but i do know it will be changed shortly....
the new music we are writing has become something i have always wanted to attempt to do, but new had the chance, nor was i ever in a position to have the technology, equipment, nor was i ever in a band who's direction went in this fashion... so its very exciting! .... we are doing alot of sampling, which will also be done live... which has opened alot of doors for creativity....
stance is going well, bumpy roads...sure but its the name of the game... i am learning alot, so much more then i ever did when i was in college.... i surely learned how i learn....
... tonight is movie in the park, which happens every thursday.... i meet up with a bunch of my friends and we all sit on the lawn in the park and watch old movies on this huge screen.... it surely does feed the heart of any hopeless romantic...

| ...every sunday i meet up with a few of my friends at the beach... this past sunday was like every other sunday.... .. besides the fact that i swam into a whole school of jellyfish....
bad idea.
...however...the good thing about this event, is i know that i have alot of true friends, cause they all wanted to jump on the opportunity to pee on me.....
...not cool.

| ...well its time for you my 'monthly' update.... I really suck at keeping up with this xanga thing these days.... its also funny to me how the content of this has changed so much from what it was intended for.... i was reading a few of my old entries from a few years ago.... and i used to be so honest with this thing.... recklessly writing what i was feeling, or going through.... a beautiful confessional, this used to be.... now, it is nothing more then a way to give updates on what is going on in my life ... i have a feeling that this might change...
...update...
so in 2 weeks we are heading into the studio to record a few tracks... the original plan was to do a 5 song ep... and record at a studio out here called 'love juice' which is a really good studio here.... however.... like everything, plans changed. We canceled our time at 'love juice', and booked some time at this studio up north a bit, which is supposed to be alot better.... so this makes leigh a very happy camper.... cause i LOOOOVE recording.... only weeks until i am in my element...words dont express to you how excited this makes me..... and to add to the excitement.... the singer from 'destroy the runner' (solidstate) has been working with us, in our production, and is kinda producing our material.... i can not even tell you how much i have learned from this experience .... to be working with someone who has lived my dream.... i cant put it into words... it is an amazing thing....
..i also come home in 28 days.... i am really excited to come home and see everyone, and just take a deep breath... however i dont have nearly as much time at home as what i would want.... so its going to feel REALLY rushed, but i am really excited to head up to maine... maine is 'get away' place....it always has been since i can remember the first time i have ever wanted to 'get away' .....
...i cant really complain much about life these days.... i have been blessed in ways i dont always realize... and i take alot of it for granted a lot.... even though i am not living this amazing life or anything, i often sit back and feel like i dont deserve it.... it is the first time in my life where i have finally realized there is beauty in hardship, there is beauty in a break down, and there is beauty in being 'blind'...

as most of you know, for the past few months, I have been playing for a band out here in San Diego called 'Shyanne' ... I just got done with the new layout for our page.... if you are bored, go over and check it out! ....add us a your friends, if you have a myspace account....
www.MySpace.com/ShyAnneRock
also...
exactly one year from today, I packed my '99 sonoma with
a few drums, and a few shirts, and left the great lakes .... and moved
to the san diego.... i seriously can not believe that was a year
ago.... i feel like i made that trip last month.... however, it feels
as if i have been here in cali for years..... funny how that works....
so much has happened in the past 356 days... so many things i have
learned, so may people i have met, so many new things i have
experienced .... i guess this blog post should be a celebration of
change, a celebration of where life can take you... i sit here, looking
at where i was a year ago... and where i am now.... two completely
different lives, two completely different people.... a year ago i was
searching.... i was working at a factory, making those float-able
noodles..( ...and yes, i have heard ALL of the funny jokes about that
...) .... i was unsure of so many things.... and which i still am....
but in a new way.... and about completely different things....
this is just as much of a thank you as it is a celebration.... thank
you to all of those who have stood by me through all of this, and never
gave up on me.... who gave me words of encouragement, who sent me
letters, emails, packages, funny cards to just bring me a smile.... or
just sent me a text to tell me you were thinking of me.... to those who
let me stay at your house on my way out here, to those who gave me
hospitality, who took me as one of your own.... you honestly have no
idea how much these things have meant to me.... you have NO IDEA, and i
truly wish there was some how, some way of letting you know how much it
did....
thank you from the bottom of my heart for those who have welcomed
me with open arms here in san diego.... who picked me up when i felt
like not pushing any more.... for those who saw my vision, even when i
didnt.... to those who stood along side of me, so that i wasnt doing it
alone.... thank you .....
i have been blessed in ways i completely took for granted....
i love you all more then i can ever express to you... thank you....from
the bottom of my heart...i could have NEVER made it this far, had it
not been for you.... i honestly have the best friends in the entire
world..... i am blessed.
