December is almost here and there's some shit goin down!

The Canadian Brass Quintet is performing on Wednesday, December 9th at the Bergen Performing Arts Center.  I only have their Christmas album, and that's all I need to hear to go see them. To hear their sound, visit their site @ http://www.canbrass.com/

So, I've decided 5 years of smoking cigarettes is enough damage for my lungs.  That and, I'd like to stop paying for cancer. And there's a million other reasons, but those are the main two that are going to make me quit.  The one thing that would have me continue is my job and the dickhead manager I have. Btw, if your site could only handle 140 visitors at a time before crashing, and you're expecting to be a big time retailer over the interwebs, it's time to learn something new. LOL

In the past week, I've played with a Salsa band, my old high school Marching band, and a Cover and called " Nonetheless ".  All fun times with different people.  The salsa band, Rumba Con Son, has a private fundraiser coming up on the 5th of December, which I'm pretty excited about. We cover a lot of old Salsa songs, as well as Cumbia, Merengue, Bachata, and one more genre I believe.  Their repertoire is impressive, I must say.

The Marching band was cool.  There were a lot people I didn't talk to, and it didn't take long before I could remember why.  There were some people younger than me, and a few others that were older than me that I spoke to. They all seemed nice, which made it a pleasant start to my Thanksgiving Day.

Nonetheless was awesome.  Played at The Rock, which used to be known as The Bar. It was tons of fun playing The Impression That I Get, Take On Me, Last Dance with Mary Jane, and a few others there.  Also, I managed to rock someone's world. :D

...So the holidays are almost here! Which means, family time... Some of the funniest shit has happened in the holidays.  I like how there's no censor on us and we just let the shit fly out of our mouths with total disregard of what others may think.  It makes for a good ol' time when you're not uptight about everything.

The Late Night Write.

So the holidays are coming. and it always makes me miss companionship the most. Need to find a nice girl who isn't crazy about God, but is sane.

Sometimes, it is

I wish I could speak Swedish. And French. And Russian.

Don't you hate it when some of the smoothest tunes to hit your ears is in a language you don't understand?  Well, I mean not all the time is it a bad thing.  But sometimes, you just want to know what it is they're expressing their anguish, passion, or whatever it may be, over. Buzzed in this state of yuengling & jell-o shot, is when listening to Kultiration makes their whoas and mellow lyrics just a tad more intriguing. Reggae is what they sound like, by definiton.  It sounds more like 2nd wave ska.  Do the Swedes have a name for this genre?


I miss my friend, even though he's an immature self-loathing prick who needs to swallow his wrongful pride and grow up.  But there are still good people in my life. And have met new, exciting, witty, intelligent, funny, good people this year.  I felt like 2009 was a year that opened my eyes.  It's been too busy at times, but definitely worth cramming tons of happenings in such a small amount of time.  This weekend, I'll be attending an Anime Convention (unsure of the name) in PA with my buddy who runs CosWatch and his hetero partner in crime who also partakes in CosWatch.  Destined to be a good time, I've been highly anticipating this weekend for a couple of months now.

Time to put some new music in VaultII.  And then sleep? And then work -.- And then Practice . And then ANIME WEEKEND!

Til the next time I get to this.
