Drain the battery

This is the newest member in my family: Jadiel. Born May 21 (1 week old!) at 9lbs 12 oz. This kid is gonna be an ox. Speaking of ox, my roommate, Scott, ate some ox tail last night. Strange... Don't know If that's something I would try. Seriously, twitter.com/OMGtheykilledme. Microblogging is easier.

Wow I'm pretty beat. Goin to California in a week!!! I'm so freaking excited to finally be goi g. This is a trip I've been speaking to a good friend of mine since 2003. 7 years, and since then we've graduated high school. Went an alternate paths. And Now I'm really excited to hear that he's doing well. Going with my illusion of a friend so this is sure to be an exciting trip. And trio. XD

Be on the lookout for a new site at RumbaConSon.com. XD

From the touch

I will try to post an update later in the day. My hands resemble those of a blue collar man. I'll be cleaning out my car today. My cousin is due with her bouncing baby son any day now. People my age are getting married now. That's scary. I really gotta work on getting a degree. But not everyone needs it to be successful. More later...

To blog.

Finding the time and interest has been increasingly difficult. Tweeting for now. Follow @ www.Twitter.com/OMGtheykilledme

Play that tune again

I gotta work on that site right now. This is what my update's about. Be back soon.

Cheeseburgers n shit.

check out my myspace. ha.

It's a dry kinda day. It was an awesome 82 degrees fahrenheit! The last time I wrote on here, it was in the 30's / 40's. New Technology is awesome! < Band name (yes? no? vote now!). I'm on Sarah's itunes and it's a nice little music box. It's the Apple MusicBook =D It came out the same day as the ipad, but a giant iphone was way cooler than an eclectic open minded collection of the world's voices and sounds. I promise no more trombone faces. I hate when I make that face =P . haha. Not really of course. I've reignited with my california buddy and in < 2 months, we will finally get to catch up with an old friend. well, a few of us.

I'll be back shortly.

Abrupt

Brain activity, or lack thereof.

This is one of my favorite recent pictures.  It's become apparent to me that I like trombone action... possibly just a little too much for anyone's good. Eh whatever, a little brass never hurt anybody. (I'm the trombone player in focus. Thanks to the illusion)

              Friends are something else. My family's always said to me "Friends come and go, but Family's always here". I'm sure I'm not the only one that's heard this, but I really hope that is not the case.  There is a select number of individuals that I consider close, sometimes a little closer than family. I hope I never lose touch with them.
          So there's some kind of party happening at the house I live at. But I don't have to throw it!! :D Which also means I don't have to do shit before or after the party. Thank God! I can't wait for this shindig.  That's what it's gonna be - a shindig. Oh shindigs, how I've missed you.
      Lately, I've had the urge to be alone. Err rather, just spend some quality me-time. Living with 4 other people does not make it so easy. I mean if I wanted to be a jerk, I'm sure I could manage that without making any kind of a real effort... But that's just not the person I was raised to be, or would ever have any intention of becoming.
   I had an idea of what to write, but after that fog I can't seem to remember what I wanted to say. Well it's late in the night and I've 3 more days til I can appreciate a somewhat relaxing weekend.
I need to figure out this California thang...

Photographic Memory

iTunes has an incredible app for all di.fm fans! SHOUTcast! It's all streaming from many different genres of music/talk radio.  If you don't have an iphone or ipod touch, you can still go to their site @ shoutcast.com and stream on your PC from your preferred media player. I'm currently tuned in to the Techno station where it's this weird, almost tribal, song playing.


So, this weekend was eventful. It really began on a Thursday night where it we were being hit with a Paralyzing Blizzard (see image below).

It was also supposed to be a snow hurricane, seeing as how there was going to be a collision of two different snow storms, giving us that crippling image that nj.com has tastefully given us. So it's Thursday night, and this is going on. What better way to celebrate than with a big ol' bottle of Bacardi Gold? So that happened, & then I woke up the next day to find out we had a delayed opening for work. I worked from home, which was the first time and I don't see why it should be the last. It was just as productive, if not more. And quite relaxing...

Friday Night was where the Photographic Memory came in to play. I was able to see H Boogie and had a snow play date. :D  I came in to her apartment w/ my fat ass "snow pants", and was pretty decked out in snow gear. She had to prepare herself and put on her snow pants (which were awesome) and the rest of her snow clothing. After a splif second, we walked to the park by her apt. and plopped down on a snowed bench for a bit. We enjoyed the trees, and the way they branched off into three. In that park, we created fred (he was a little snow man) and where I watched her make a snow angel, I made mine mirrored to hers. And that's how we created the batman symbol in Washington Square.  Unfortunately, neither of us brought any sort of camera with us, so we used our Photographic Memory. The rest of the night was filled with nazi-killing Basterds, and good spirits. It was a fun night and I can't wait for the next one with her.

The rest of the weekend was OK. I was given some terrible news; there was a death in the family of musicians that I play with - Rumba Con Son. Their old bass player's brother had passed away yesterday morning.  I had just met that bassist, and did not have the pleasure of meeting his brother. :(  I heard he was a monster on the Trumpet. And he was, no doubt, a great person to know.

Well, Rumba Con Son had a gig last night, and before we played our set, we began with a moment of silence. A couple of friends came with me that night: illuzn & her trusty sarahcastic companion. They came, they saw, they conquered. One conquered sleep in the back seat of my car on the drive home.

One more bit of sad news, our neighbor John has moved to Florida. He was a cool cool guy and our hanging outs were limited to three times.  Had we known that him and his fiance liked to party, we would've hung out way more than we actually did...
