A Break That Will Keep Things Going

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 19:26:26 -0500

So it’s been a good month or so and I’ve managed to get myself caught up in modding cars again, bought the most stereotypical car and am just doing some things to pacify and pass the time. I’ve got some things in the works though. I’m stoked.

Okay, we know, we know, it’s shameless self promotion. We will be using the increased traffic from our website to fund this donation. We will be sending Red Cross the check for the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami.

UPDATE: We forgot to add what we’d do if someone were to “like” the post. We will combine the reblogs and likes we got from our last post along with the reblogs and likes we get from this post.

We wish we can donate more, but it’s all we can handle. If you would like to donate directly to the cause, please click here.

We will be donating 1 cent per every reblog, 1 cent for every like and 5 cents per every new follower we get. We’ll be sending the check to American Red Cross.

Email us at what@viaSQUARED.com for any questions regarding this.

EDIT! Hopefully this will get enough notes, but if it gets too many, we’d have to stop it at 50000!

A Fresh Start With No Egos

Tue, 15 Feb 2011 18:37:00 -0600

I’m glad. Yep, as of yesterday the band finally decided that they were too cool for me and that I’m not good enough and don’t have “what it takes”. It’s the biggest joke ever because so much bullshit was brought up that contradicted the other reason why I was the weak point of that band. It just pretty much showed that they were on some bullshit and ya know, it happens. It’s like a bunch of weight were removed off my shoulders though because I know that I’m going to find another band that has members that are going to actually pull their own weight. It really didn’t have to be this way, but when there’s one person in the band that has so much disbelief in your ability, it’s better off without. I’m the first person to admit my faults, but I am very very aware of what I can do and I shouldn’t have to prove that to someone who’s suppose to be working alongside of me. I’m better off without and I’m glad it went this way because I don’t have any more time to waste dealing with bullshit egos. I’m glad that I don’t have to deal with someone who thinks they’re better than 90% of the population and tries to be someone they’re not. I know who I am and I’m proud of it.

But yea, I’ve already got some pretty sweet things ahead of me and am really looking forward to proving people wrong.

A month of bills, and a month of more work

Fri, 14 Jan 2011 18:24:41 -0600

I don’t really update this as much as I should but I really felt the need to today. I’ve paid $1000+ in bills today. Feels good, but at the same time it feels shitty because it woulda been sweet to not have to pay bills and be a responsible individual. I am actually caught up though and it feels weird.

The band has started writing and I need to write some stuff so i’ma hafta dig in deeper this time and make these songs a little more meaningful ha.

The snow isn’t stopping any time soon. Another 4” of snow tonight, means less going out and more writing. We’ve got a few shows coming up that I really am looking forward to. I’d really love if someone that has good taste in the genre of music gave us an unbiased opinion so I can feel like I know what I’m doing “wrong”. I mean I am writing this for myself, but if it sucks, someone’s gotta tell me ha. Hopefully we can get about 10 songs to scratch off 3 of the worse ones for the next EP that we’re planning on recording in August-ish. $$$:sigh:

I got a new phone finally and am somewhat upto date. Got an HTC Evo-dunno how I feel about the whole touchscreen thing, but yea. I got a G25 Panasonic 42” Plasma too and its finally done being broken in. Fuck yes. These past few months have been kinda greedy months for myself, but ya know, I’m still givin back!

But…. yea.

Welp, not that anyone actually reads this, but if you happened to stumble across it and feel like helpin me spread the word, do it. =)

It’s not only a new year, it’s a new decade. I guess we only have less than 24 months left of the world before it blows itself up, so we mightas well make the most of it. I’m gonna start off with a fresh hair cut. Then I’m gonna goto the gym. Come home, make a drink, and watch my new 42” Panasonic G25 Plasma. =) Happy New Year to me, haha. Monday is another show in Fargo w/ my band. :plug: :plug: :plug:

big empty house

Tue, 23 Nov 2010 19:27:36 -0600

If anyone knows of someone who wants to move out for a few months and pay cheapppp rent, lemme know!

I’m living in this house all alone with 2 extra bedrooms and it sucks sometimes. I get bored and just start talkin to myself. The good thing is that I can sing as loud as I want or walk around naked if I feel like it. BUT if someone knows someone who’s not a jackass or bitch, and wants to live in Blaine, lemme know!

Done and over with! It’s a good feeling. Last night was...

...band news about next month's EP Release!

Fri, 22 Oct 2010 06:59:00 -0500

...band news about next month's EP Release!:

We recorded this stuff back in July with Kory Gable in Lancaster, PA. I think it turned out really good and am pretty proud of it. Of course there are always things you’re like, yea… ‘we shoulda changed this’ but ya know, overall, I think we made a pretty decent debut EP. I’m actually really stoked about the EP Release next month on Nov. 21st and so far, people seem to have not said anything bad about the songs yet! =)

The first song was “Lifecoach Lessons” and I totally jacked the word from Leah Lee, so I’ll give her credit when I can.

Second song , “Your .02”… well some people don’t get it, but ya know, you stay on the internet long enough and people sign things “that’s just my .02” (two cents), so to those who don’t get the title, it’s like not knowing about Autotune the news or stuff like that. It does feature Mr. Jeff Todd of I Call Fives in it, so it makes me like that song more than the others as I’ve always been a fan of that band. They are pretty sweet dudes so check ‘em out too!

welp, here's another one...

Sun, 03 Oct 2010 09:01:00 -0500

So I’ve given in with all the blog sites and social network sites. I guess I’ve told myself I’m going to be active on them and try to keep up with all of them. I mean, I’m not even on that many of them… twitter, facebook, blogspot, even myspace? , but not only those, I’m probably on a good 50 different forums of all sorts that I’ve not logged into in the past 5 years. It’s pretty random sometimes when I run across something I forgot that I had a username/password to. I mean, it was a part of what I did at one of my jobs, now it’s just something I cycle through at a current job to pass time sometimes.

These pass few months have been pretty fast-paced and I feel like it’s been a good thing. I have almost everything that I want (as far as larger things) so I mean there’s no real reason to be upset. Of course, I am only human and have gotten and will get upset over small things but that’s what happens sometimes when you’re left overthinking and overanalyzing things.

My living situation currently is me by myself in a 4 bedroom house having stuff only in the basement. I’ve been living like this since July. Some probably think it’s sweet, but some probably think its a pretty lonely situation. I mean I’m not gonna complain as all I pay for is water and electricity.

My band, well it seems like it’s taking off in the right direction and at the right pace. Some want it to move faster, but that’s not in my hands. I’m doing all I can and if they’d like to lend a hand, they’re more than welcome to. No one’s gonna stop you. I’d actually help you get it to the pace you’d like. We have played a good handful of shows, some “bad”, but imho, not too bad. Nothing terribly embarassing, but we’ve played a few good ones in there. I’m learning how to loosen up a little bit but I know I still have some quirks to work out. I’m pretty open minded. I know I’m going to be judged, and that’s ok, but if you don’t like me, please don’t fake it to my face. That’s one thing that really makes me upset. I can handle honesty, as I dish it out all the time. Anyone who knows me knows that I am probably one of the most honest people you’ll ever meet.

Anyhow, we’ve been together since mid-March(though I ‘tried out’ for them back in February). I’m glad to say that in the 7 months its been, there’s a lot that has been done. We have merch, a 5 song EP that sounds good, a full band that doesn’t hate each other, a van+trailer, some money in our cashbox(though its not much), and many other things that others that have been bands for years don’t have. We have our health and we have each other, as cheesy as that sounds, its the truth and you can’t really ever ask for more than that sometimes.

Life is good, and could be better, but I’ve got to keep myself grounded and realize that I should be happy for what I have. I’ve got a few close good/best friends that keep me real. I’ve been listening to a lot of random music and appreciate a lot of it for what it is. I’m no elitist and I know what I like and why I like it. It ranges from good clean pop music (One Republic, Jason Mraz, Kris Allen, Semisonic, Third Eye Blind) to random pop punk bands (I Am The Avalanche, Saves the Day, With the Punches, I Call Fives, The Starting Line, The Wonder Years) to random stuff, anything like (T.I., Justin Timberlake, Person L, The Killers, Phantom Planet, Dustin Kensrue, Death Cab for Cutie, City and Colour, etc…). I’m glad I am the way I am, though there are things I’m going to work on. I’m glad to be alive at this very moment.

Yesterday, I woke up and went to a few car events. I haven’t done this in who knows how long. I mean it wasn’t anything special but it was cool to change it up a little bit to keep the sanity. Cars ‘n Coffee and MAP’s dyno day. It made me want to turbo my sc300, to redo my coilovers, to repaint my car, to clean it up, etc… but I’ll have my time to do that. For now, I’m just a looker and I’ll have to be ok with that. Here’s a few camera phone pics I snapped.

Ferrari

and in someone’s million dollar garage…

Yesterday was cool, but today is Sunday, it’s getting cold outside as I woke up to almost to freezing temparatures. I need a winter car because the SC300 with stretched tires ain’t gonna cut the salty/snowy roads that MN loves. I need to make sure the band gets CD artwork done and the rest of the rest to get the CD release going. I need to figure out where I’m going to live in a month. I’m kinda worried but I know it’ll be ok. I mean a dude said “I won’t worry my life away” and I try to remember that when I start overworrying.
