One More Hour

Rumored to be new Bond girl.

Whoever she is..... she just stole my heart. Right next to Monica Bellucci and Mia Maestro on the list.

Jesus Christ. Someone get me a sedative.

Also, Daniel Craig let slip the possible title for Bond 22. And in an industry of one word unimaginative titles it seems very fitting.

007. That's it. It's an obvious choice these days, but seems to break a long tradition of ridiculously dramatic titles. Which, is kind of sad. Those titles are part of what those movies are about. It is understandable though, with the new take on the franchise. The age of staunch cinematic realism demands your spy/comicbook/action film lives up to the standards of this "dark", "gritty", "R-rated" world we live in. How else would we relate? Anyhow, the rumored title is still ridiculous and dramatic but, in my opinion, for all the wrong reasons. Again though it's just a rumor and I dug Casino Royale. And.... that girl is fuckin' hot.

hm....

It seems every time i try to get to bed earlier I stay up later. What the fuck is it that I have to do?

Maybe I should have some kids...that'd tire me out.

God this thing turned into a Batman Blog in no time at all. Just show's who how much I love Batman. Well.. .except for those first movies. Didn't like those very much. Not too big on Tim Burton either. Like, at all.

But that's an argument for the Stephen of two years ago. I'm much more positive these days. I didn't fuck those movies up, so what should I care. And also that's his voice. I don't get it, but a whole lot of motherfuckers do. Batman is sacred though. That pisses me off. So... I may have to continue being a five year old.


Right now, while blogging, I'm watching this "Kill The House Lights" DVD from The band Thursday.

It's a really good little documentary. Really makes me remember how much I loved this band in high school. I haven't really been into them in a long time. But, now watching this movie shows me how much they went through to make all their albums. It's so interesting and just makes me want to start a fucking band. If there's one thing I think about (besides women) it's music and being in a band. I played drums in a band in high school. We were called "One More Hour". At the time I thought that was such an awesome name. It was always one more hour til' this or one more hour left for that, etc. So I was super stoked. But, we were so lazy and didn't practice enough, then the bass player just wanted to sing and so we needed to get a new one. We broght this girl on who had no idea how to play, but we were desperate, and she was cool. Ultimately it just fizzled out and I think the singer fucked her. But there were a few practices where the band thing was an actual possibility. we were even set to play for the school at one point but, the teacher who sent that up had some kind of relationship with a student and got fired.

After that I got caught up with a girl who completely flip-flopped my world, then had to pull away, or was put off by what I was at the time. After that, I had no idea of self, or what I wanted to do with the coming days. So like any depressed teen I listened to as much music as I could find that was different in every way to what I had been before. As far as I reached and experimented with different sounds, I could not find anything foreign to my sensibilities. I related to a lot of what i picked up at random and put myself into that sound. I started playing guitar more and more, coming up with cheesy riffs and just living through what I felt was a shitty life at the time. But like all those cheesy movies, music gave me direction.

I never did form a new band in high school and in early college there was a lot of talk but no doin'. Then in my junior year I joined a band with my friends called "We Are The Side Project". I played bass for that. Again, for whatever reason we couldn't find a way to keep up with it and it burnt out quick. Around this time a good friend of mine died and I really didn't consider music a priority at all, although it still helped me a lot emotionally.

From then on, I just made my own tunes. I started doing the Prog Metal stuff almost immediately and before I knew it had something like eight full songs of music I would never have thought I could make. I was super siked again and tried to form a band of my own called "Saddle the Kodiak". It was everyone's senior year, and everyone was so busy. So that got put on hold indefinitely.

It's like everytime I try to start a band it just doesn't work out. I kept think that it was just something that isn't meant to be and that I'd have to go it alone. So I did. Now I've got a ton of original music that I've poured my heart into and couldn't be more proud of the results. But, now that ugly beast is reaing it's head again and all I can think about it starting a band.

There are some prospects, but because of failed bands before i'm kind of scared. Frankie and I have been talking about it for a while, but with no equipment to our names it's that much more difficult. Now, he's engaged. That's a bit of a worry. Just because you hear all those jokes about your friends changing when they get married and what not. It's a sign to me that I'm not young anymore and if there's anytime to do this it's now.

I'm very hesitant to show the songs from myspace, cause they are such shitty quality. But, I feel like I talk so much shit about being a musician that now is the time to back up some of my comments.

So...

....you'll find one of my newest (rough) called "Awe of the Burning Sky" from and EP i'm putting together.
Let me know what you think. Especially compared to some of the older stuff already posted.

Once I get some server space, i'll start posting that shit here. As well as possible album covers and what not.

Thanks in advance for listening. Songs with lyrics and vocals coming soon.
