i appreciate the kind words.
for now, i am really enjoying my time to myself. i am, however, almost to the point of having too much time on my hands now. the odds and ends jobs aren't quite enough, so i will be strongly seeking out more consistent, regular employment when i get back from my brief road trip trough chicago to minnesota next week. i made a pact with a friend of mine to take a week vacation to japan by the end of the year, so i'm going to need a little extra cash anyways.
para, any words of advice for what got you up and out of your slump?

Keep busy, travel, go to music shows, hang with a positive crowd, and play your music. also, a little church never hurt anyone. I noticed the ocean and nature heals the soul....

i met motherprussia the other weekend. he's a cool guy, we just walked around in Perth city, had a coffee, talked bands, met a stranger who's previous occupation was laundering cash and growing weed, checked out some record stores, talked about authors and books, talked about all you guys, and to top it off i nearly got robbed in broad daylight (kyle said he was just about to jump the thief before a cop stopped the whole thing). it was a pretty rad day. no photos, sorry guys.

i hung out with motherprussia once, but it was in the early stages of my crazy sleep deprivation. i would imagine i was well on to my way to becoming neurotic by that point. you know me, always shooting for a great first impression : ]

i ordered a new set of mics for recording vocals and acoustic guitar, but it turns out that the company was sold out and didn't have their site updated : /
on a brighter note, i now have reason 4 running smooth on my laptop with a qwerty midi controlling program for synth control. i am going to kill a lot of time at the coffee shop making obnoxious electronic music.

How much is a good mic?

i dunno, i can't afford one : ]
tonight is the end of the first day of my brief road trip. i am couch crashing in naperville, IL. i got into town at 4:30pm chicago time. i always forget about the time change between states. my friend aaron and i spent the first 3 hours catching up and talking music. i've not seen him for about 3 years, so there was a lot of ground to cover. when his girlfriend got home from work, the three of us went out to two brothers, which is a local brewery that sells across the midwest. we had dinner and a few drinks and killed the rest of the evening chatting college basketball, personal opinions of kanye west, and beer and literature preferences. i'll leave here tomorrow around noon after lunch with aaron to head to wisconsin. my friend won't be home from work until 5pm, but i'll be pulling into town around 1:30 or 2. i plan on busking on the streets or finding a cafe to read to pass the time.

para - about $150 AU, whatever that is in US. like, $100? that will get you a Shure SM57 or SM58. best cheap mics around for practically anything

but don't be fooled into thinking that is a "good mic". i own an sm57, and it is versatile, and it is reasonable for its cost, but just like any other piece of equipment, you'll find yourself discontent with it down the road.
hence why i say i can't afford a good mic.

i'm so happy i don't have any hockey fanatic friends around town. last thing i need is another excuse to ever watch television.
just found out some potentially excellent news yesterday.
1) i may have an opportunity to go to israel, travel/room/board expenses paid, at an undetermined time in the future.
2) my friend wants me to move into his place in early may and is only going to charge me 350 with no utilities costs. our friend paulie will be staying in the basement room until the end of summer and then it would just be the two of us running a bachelor pad with the basement being used as a band practice room and dance floor. keep your fingers crossed that this one works out.

yeah, i'd be primarily concerned about religious fundamentalists flogging me in the streets if they overheard me singing any of my songs with potentially religious undertones.
i think i've got a crush on this jazz singer i've been playing music with lately. i am so easily infatuated with women these days that it is ridiculous.

haha...i know how it seems, but it's not even that i'm horny.
to defend myself, i've only ever been with one girl, and i have self control to the point of hindering myself in many situations that could otherwise lead to me ending up regretting my decisions. i am morally incapable of so much as kissing a girl if i don't have a very intimate connection with them.
i've only ever kissed three girls in my life, and the first was in a middle school game of truth or dare. i'm pretty ridiculous now that i think of it.

what guitar did you finally decide on? 2 things. either you're are extremely shy or you're a fucking liar. it may seem this way, but i assure you that i'm not lying and i can be a little introverted from time to time but i wouldn't say i'm shy in the slightest. i have never felt a need to be in a relationship, and i could never justify anything physical outside of a relationship. i guess i'm just a bit of an oddball. that said, the dry spell is over : ]
