Current Music: While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Beatles(since it played on my myspace) |
|
Yesterday Amazon.com begun their new service of selling Mp3's online. The difference between them and other online stores is that they have no copy-protection/digital rights on their downloads. I don't know what other websites policies are on this, but I know for a fact with Amazon you can copy the music on to 20 computers if you wanted to and upload it to 30 I-Pods with no restrictions.
Now I think there are a lot of people that will buy a song for $1 before downloading it for free, so I am not completely against the whole idea. But through time the industry has changed. In the old days before the Beatles, it was singles era. After the Beatles made their mark, music lovers perferred LPs.
In my life time Singles isn't really a thing that I have seen except for on the occasion, like Pearl Jam which I believe were imports. So maybe downloads are the sollution to this. But I think the idea of downloading a full Album is stupid. But then again, I don't think Downloadable music is meant to replace albums at this time.
I know people who prefer CDs to Mp3s, but then again I know people who prefer Vinyl. What's better, doesn't mean it's going to dominate.
All in All, I wonder where the industry is going. I know Country is the big thing these days. But 25 years down the road how will the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame evaluate what an Artist's worth is. I guess that depends on where music lovers buy their music and how. |

Tomorrow is my "Party" that nobody is going to, ofcourse Heather don't care, but I do. Last year we threw the party and APT was in worse shape and she was all excited to entertain, as was I, but almost nobody came. Lack of advertisement, yes, lack of popularity, I suppose.
So, Greenway and Nichole were over and Don was nice enough to stop by for a few minutes, and that was about it. Andy was too drunk to drive, Brian and Vicky did their own thing and Dave was unavailable. I asked some people at work if they would want to come, but nobody from there ended up showing.
It was fun, but a bit of a drag.
This year, Greenway is coming up from KY, so there is a good chance he won't even show. Andy is going to try to show, but he's going back to his old bosses party to finish the night. Don's in Jap. Brian and Vicky probably would of maybe quite possibly would have come to the "party" to hang out, but they have made plans. Dave isn't answering his phone. There is only one, possibly two, people I am going to ask from work to come, but I doubt they'll come. I would of already asked, but I was off that past two days and they were off today. I would like to have atleast 5 people over, besides Heather and I, but I guess this party's going to be lamer than last years...
I was sort of waiting to see if something else was going on, but I don't get invited to too much. We did last year, but decided to throw a party since it was the first year we could.
I have lost touch with all my friends, and I don't really know who considers me a friend or whatnot. Kind of sucks. I have never been one to have a huge circle of friends, I have been more of a person to know a lot of people, but I guess I am not one who knows a lot of people that really want anything to do with you.
This year should of, could of, been better than last year. Because we have better stuff to serve and I think things are more together, where we can make it work, but whatever.Current Mood:  bored |

Today I finally got written up...
I say it as if I was awaiting it. Well if you have followed along or talked with me, you would know that Ryan the Merch Manager has been on my ass week after week and it's been almost clock work that we have these talks, so I knew it was coming. I really wasn't expecting a hard day when I came in or any trouble for the matter. The odd part is that I get everything stocked and detailed, infact I dropped another board(probably should of mentioned it, but I knew it wouldn't help). But I could feel it, the past two talks were on days that felt like good days, today I sensed something was wrong and the day flew by.
At this point I mentioned that I am talking it easy on my wrist, there was a lot of hand stacking today and in some respects it is the truth, it is harder to stock with my wrist gaurd on. Since a year ago I have slowly developed Carpil Tunnel Syndrome. I got the obveous, why didn't you mention this to us before. "Ah....Because it isn't usually an issue, I get my job done no problems and after wearing the wrist gaurd for a several days it goes away. Now that there is an issue with my job performance, I guess I should mention it." I offered for them to send me to the clinic, but ofcourse this "didn't" occur on the job, and if it did it is very very hard to prove. Ryan asked me if I was a musician, "Gee...how could you tell, the long hair? Or just because that's my reputation." I mentioned to him that "Yes. But playing music has never given me any problems with my wrist...[EVER!]", infact I don't play as much as I use to. Ofcourse they would want to blame it on me or music, and I've been playing for 10+ years, the last 4 haven't been as much as the the previous 6-7, so why would that all of the sudden cause me these problems.
I don't get CTS from typing either. I know I get it, if I rest my head on my hand from my wrist being bent. I also know that my sensitivity has been greater since they moved me to this section where I have to hand-stack more and have heavier items. I woke up last week and my hand was fucked up, there was pressure in the wrist and I had to call off because my fingers were locked and would kind of move on their own. The only thing with work is that you have to grab things out of boxes and somethings are heavy and my wrist will be bent a certain way and I have to hand stack. Infact I have noticed a few times that my fingers start to become numb after working.
So it's not terrible yet. But that's why I wear my wrist gaurd and I try not to over work it. Now I have to go to the Doctors and have him fill out a form that will either give me restrictions or no restrictions.
I was told that if I get restrictions or depending on the restrictions they have no place for me and I'll probably lose my job. The other option is if my "lack of performance" keeps up, then I'll also lose my job from continuous write-ups. Yeah Me!
I don't agree with the write up and I don't see how they can say I am not performing if I am continuously working. They contridict themselves, because they tell us if you can't get done, just make sure you are cleaned up so we can open. Well that isn't the issue, I got done with all my stock that I was assigned. I just wasn't fast enough, and I still don't see how speed is an issue if there isn't anything else to do.
I also don't see how they can lay me off because I am restricted from bending my hand excessively. Ofcourse the restriction will do no good, they'll just say "it isn't excessive". At worse case they could switch me to folding clothing, they've done it before.
So this is my ticket out...

Sunday was Trygemany's farewell show, if you missed it(which everyone on here did, except for the two that had to be there) then you will have to live the rest of your life knowing you won't be able to hear us perform again, atleast in the same line-up.
It was probably the best show we ever played, we got a lot more compliments than normal. I couldn't even get my stuff off of the stage without someone talking to me about what we did. It felt good and I knew we did a real good job, especially for no practices at all, but then the compliments made me wonder where this band could of gone. Someone even asked, "Why are you guys breaking up? You guys are so good and you play together very tight" or something like that. We had a lot of good times, but we still broke up and went through way too many drummers.
The show was booked with a combo of two ideas, first Greenway and I talked about it two weeks prior, second I met up with a drummer not too long ago that was motivated to play shows. That drummer dropped out, so we got Charlie, and then it became an official reunion.
You can read more about this in my blog on my myspace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=86627557
What's next for me?
I have been struggling to put a band together for the past few months, I even re-joined a previous band I was in just to get out and play. That band is at a stand-still and I don't plan on continuing with it, since 2/2 times it has not seamed worth it.
I have also begun working on a list of venues around the US, primarily east of the Mississippi. So far I have 44, and I have almost 20 more that I need more information on. These aren't that wide-spread, so there'll be options for booking, but then on the other hand it's going to take me awhile to get a complete list.
I also have begun working on Don's album again, nothing major yet, so far I just have gone over what needs to be done.
For the rest of the day I gotta clean up, practice singing and get some food. So I'll be busy, talk to you all later.

...And my parents are being their typically unreasonable selfs...
Basically they wanted me to get rid of my jetski(the cardboard box). It's an 89 SP and it runs. So we put it out at the garage sale for $400 and I was happy selling it for that price. This guy was seriously interested and kept calling my Uncle about it. Apparently he was ready to buy it for more than the $400 and my Uncle told him everything wrong with it and that we were planning on donating it if it didn't sell.
So when I call the guy, he starts off at $200 and I get him up to $325, but I told him I couldn't sell it to him til my dad got back. I felt weird about the situation and really didn't want to sell it to him for that price, so I call my Uncle and he told me that the guy was willing to pay more and we agreed he was using information my Uncle told him to jew down the price and was screwing around. So I decided not to sell it to him and just donate it and get the write off. The jetski is worth over double what I am selling it for, ofcourse it only runs 1/2 speed(which is why the discount).
I told my mom about the situation and we agreed. Then yesterday she calls telling me they are selling him the Jetski for $325. Well they can't do that because it is titled to me, so now they are pissed because I refuse to sign the title. And even though I am willing to donate it/sell it, but don't want to sell it for a price that I feel is screwing me over (since the cover alone was $158!!!!), ofcourse in their eyes I am being just a "difficult little brat" and they want nothing to do with me.
I am so beyond sick of all of this crap that life keeps handing to me on All You Can Eat Buffet Platters!
Ever since Charlie quit, it's been down hill. Actually ever since I got switched to Hardlines at my job, it's been down hill. That was right before the Emerald Theatre show.
So basically if things aren't going to get better, why not just take it all completely to the bottom, so atleast I am there and if so hopefully it will lead to death. I am not trying to be morbid, just there really is no point of being here if nothing is ever going to get better. I am not suicidel either, I have been wondering for quite some time "why am I here", life keeps seaming to get the best of me, and every time I try to get somewhere I end up failing.

| » Scratch the Bus |
|---|
Well, I started getting things sorted out with the bus ordeal. Found a place I could store it reasonably until I find a place I can store it cheaper. The nice thing about E-bay is that you know it's a legit e-mail when your username is on it because nobody knows your e-mail address and username....Or maybe not...
It was kind of funny that I got two Second Chance offers on two buses I bid on. The one was for $700, I totally freaked. And what even made it better was that they were going to ship it to me! Then they responded that they wanted me to e-mail them the shipping address to ebay@second-chance-offers.com ????
Wait a minute...When you bid on E-bay and win, you usually pay through Paypal(atleast a deposit) and through that they get your shipping address. I have only seen scammers use domains similar to that. So I called the number on the original posted ad(on ebay.com) and the guy didn't even know the person that sent me that e-mail for $700(Alexander was his name), but what is even weirder was that the person who listed the bus, did offer it to me for $6800 but the second chance offer expired.
Ok, so at this point I am a little confussed...
Now with the other bus, the better bus. I got a second chance offer for $7000. I go to pursue this and the guy tells me he moved to Hungary and had the bus shipped there, but the Bus is hard to get registered, so he will have it shipped to my address. He wants me to pay through the shipping company. I told him I only use Paypal and E-bay and he said, fine he'll just relist it.
I tried calling the number on that original ad, but didn't get to anyone - so I'll probably e-mail the original e-mail address on the listing and see what they tell me. My guess is that this is a scam.
Thirdly and lastly - I got another second chance offer from the person listing the "$700" bus for Two-Thousand and something. This time the "Buy it now" went to foreign domainname that could fool some people (signin.ebay.com.cgi-aw.ro). The real domain-name is cgi-aw.ro and the ebay portion is just a prefix that is there to fool people.
What I am wondering is how did these scammers get my username? I have contacted e-bay on the issue, hopefully they can release a newsletter to warn the e-bay community. They plaster all over there site not to use Western Union or any other third party transaction when purchasing vehicles.
Yes this is semi-disappointing. I don't need the bus yet, and there will be other deals out there. It just is scary that anyone could be fooled by these crooks out there and could be out thousands of dollars. I have lost a little money before by scammers out there, but $50. The disappointing part is that for the last months everything has seamed down-hill and I thought that maybe things have shifted, but I was wrong.

|---|
It is funny how things work. Back in Oct of 2004 I started widening my horizons. My first show was with Mercy at Cobo, after that Loose Cannons and I were playing. Eventually things settled down with that and I started jamming with Eric, that didn't go anywhere and finally Greenway and I called Alex to be our drummer. After they quit, Pete called me about doing more Loose Cannons shows. We did the HAC a few times and a Bachlor party and made some good money. Then that band broke up and a little time past, but it wasn't long until Eric called me ready to play out. So I did that for awhile and got fed up with a few things and at the same time Greenway and I were working on giving the band another shot, so I quit because it wasn't going anywhere. Trygemany was complete not long from there and played more shows than ever in a short amount of time. Charlie quits, Greenway quits, no more band. Just a minute ago or so I got a call from Eric, he's looking for an rythem guitarist. A few things are different now, there is a new drummer, a new bass player(obveously), and I am guessing that Eric got his equipment back. They also are doing cover band gigs, which makes money. So I am interested, not doing much else musically at the moment, besides I've learned things from my previous experiences in Loose Cannons and Jonestreet and I hope to learn more and meet more people.

Monday started off as a real good day, but for some reason by the middle of the day I started feeling depressed. We got pizza and rented a movie and typically movies can make you forget about things for a little while.
The movie we got was Chasing Amy, which is part of the same series as Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and most recently Clerks 2. The only two movies I've seen fully out of these up to this point was Mallrats when I was 16, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The rest I've only caught clips of and Chasing Amy I knew what it was mostly about, and after watching it I realised I caught the ending on TV awhile back too.
For those of you who know nothing about any of these movies they all take place in and around New Jersey and all the main characters originated from the same area in New Jersey, but each movie focuses on different people and a different story. You sometimes hear about people from the other movies from the characters in the movie you are watching, so somehow they are linked. The movies are Comedy, Clerks and Chasing Amy is more of a realistic Comedy, whereas Mallrats has some goofy stuff in it.
Chasing Amy starts off at a Comic Book convention signing thing, where the two people who draw Bluntman and Cronic comics, which are Jay and Silent Bobs ultra egos, meet up with this chick. He immediantly falls in love with her and they become friends, but what he doesn't know is she is a lesbian. I don't want to kill the rest of the plot if anyone decides they want to see it.
It was a good movie, but unlike the other movies I saw the ending was left open. Possibly the results end up in Dogma or Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back or Clerks 2, or possibly they'll make a Chasing Amy 2? They should make a movie where the lives of the people in all the movies run into another, although I could see that getting old quite fast.
I'll probably start renting the rest of these movies and rewatch what I have.

| » Sort of Normal |
|---|
Today I am feeling a little bit "normal" in the sense that my conflicting feelings have partially subsided. I don't see them going completely away because it goes pretty deep into many areas.
As for life in general, I've decided not to renew my lease. I didn't want to, but the increase in price was my only reason for considering. Houses and property in general is going down and people are moving out of Michigan at faster than normal pace. I am thinking about buying property, but it's not a huge thing on my list to do. If the price is right and I can make it work for me, then I'll do it.
I wrote a new song yesterday, I wasn't intending to but I had to make a demo of my playing so I came up with a Zeppelin/Aerosmithish guitar part and a bassline to go with it and soloed over it. I also learned some parts to "Florentine Pogen" by Frank Zappa, check that song out(I got the version from "The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life", which is a great album in my opinion).
Don's album? I haven't heard from him or anyone, which is a bit disappointing. The problem is that there are some vocals we need to fix and Don and Brandon are both busy. I am now wondering if this will ever get done. I have spent a lot of time on it, on and off, but when I am working on it I have dedicated the whole day to it. All of my vacations this year, except for the last one, were spent on working on this album. And honestly it was a little exhausting. So I hope that eventually it gets complete, I don't want to rush it and just throw it out there - but I do think the release is becoming overdue.
Take it easy everyone.

|---|
This has been on my mind probably for awhile, although I haven't put much thought to the exact situation, except for the fact that I feel as if I am too settled and I am missing out on something. But it's more so of the fact that I missed out on something that would of changed my life and in some ways for the better.
The Story
In 8th grade I moved to a new city, got a fresh new start. At my old school it wasn't too bad, I was the guitar player of my middle school, there were a couple others, and I had some real good friends. Throughout the school year of my new school I was in four bands(LOL), two that did nothing, one that was just me and my friend Steve, and one with Brian, John, Tim, Tiffany, and I. Immediantly when I moved I fell for this girl named Sara, I also liked others aswell, but you know. I'd discribe Sara as tall and skinny, I don't think much taller than me if she was taller, definitely had Italian in her. I asked her out, but she didn't know me and it was no, let's be friends type of thing. But Steve was friends with her and a lot of other people. So that summer she stopped by his house a couple times when I was there and I ended up going to her birthday party. I was quite the shy one though.
The next year was high school, and she had the float building thing at her house and I signed up for it. One time I was there she asked if I wanted a ride home, should've said yes - but being the stubborn stupid "let's act tuff" person I am, I said nah, I'll be ok. I would of loved to show off where I lived! And my payback for being a dumbass was on my way home riding my bike, it was dark and I don't know how it happened but my front tire caught up on something as I was going around a walking person and I flew off the handle bards slide and scraped from my elbow up towards my wrist on my arm. It was a deep scrape.
So then later in life, she pointed out to me that she was wearing what I got her for her Birthday. At this point I should of asked her if she'd like to hang out, hang out more, ask her out, or something. But being the shy reserved guy I was through High School, I was like "cool". ERGGGGGGGGG! Even if I would of made an ass out of myself getting rejected, it would of been better than just saying that!

All of this 'what if' makes my life seam so incomplete. But God only knows where things would of went.

| » My Dream Today |
|---|
The dream I had today wasn't scary as last nights, this dream had to occur in the morning because I woke up about an hour ago. This is one of those 'I can't win' dreams. Typically in my dreams I can't run, it's faster to walk, and the hardest punches I throw have the effect of a feather. Also in dreams if I am trying to go somewhere, a lot of times the scenery changes and I end up never get where I want to go.
As it starts that I remember I am in the downstairs bathroom at the sink with the door open doing something. A CD Player is playing the demo versions of the two songs on my myspace, I don't know what mixes are on the takes so I when I hear artifacts of old vocal takes I get upset inside and want to fast forward the CD. I am not sure if Heather is there at this point, she wasn't after the fact.
So it ends up it's my last day of school before summer break, I am in High School. My Dad is taking my bro, sis, and I to our respective schools, but for some reason I am taking too long. So my dad gets pissed off and starts pulling the van out. It stays running in front of the house facing towards the exit of the street and I run out with my stuff and get in the street. The it looks as if he is going to go around me and just be a jerk about it, so I kind of strife or swerve a little bit and he just guns it and runs me over. I end up on my back seeing the bottom of the van and the starboard tire is the one that is closest to squishing me, but I don't get ran over at all.
My mom couldn't believe he did that, and certainly could I. This is where the dream gets quite immature. I am pissed off and I start throwing rocks at my dads truck windows(it's parked) trying to break the tinted glass(as if that would do any good). But no matter how hard I throw the rocks don't hit hard enough. The tint does wrinkle up though. For some reason I think other relatives(maybe my Aunt Toni?) or neighbors we're by the walk way up to the porch at this time, not sure though.
Anyways, I go around a bit. I don't remember much of what I did until my dad got home. So he gets home, my Uncle Ronald is there and my dad is opening the gate and moving the vehicles to park the Van in the back to punish me(which doesn't make sense, except my Grand Prix went their a couple times). I go between my neighbors house(who's a contractor) and the back yard spying, but I think he sees me each time. My neighbor is build a cement wall by the way with these small rectangle or striped block brick colored stones or stripes, it's being worked on as this is going on. So he puts the keys in the garage and I grab them right after.
Then I go in or something and find out my mother is on his side and all of the sudden, I who almost got killed, is in trouble for this whole incident. Throughout this whole experience I just wanted to be at school on my final day. So I decide I am going to take the van(which is somehow in the first vehicle out of the driveway) and go to school and talk to the principle about my psycho parents and possibly get my bro, sis, and I out of that house. Ofcourse my dumbass, tells my mom that and as I go to take the van, my dad calls the police to tell them that I am taking the van without their permission and that it is stolen. Each key doesn't work to open the door and it's taken longer than it should, then the final one does and I get in to start up the van, wondering how I am going to dodge the police, and I wake up.

|---|
The dream the night before happened after 3:30am and I had to fall back asleep because I had to get up in an hour. That dream I guess I was in a house or big building or something, but there was a room and a couple people laying down trying to get to sleep. I guess I was going to sleep their aswell. I was told the room was haunted, so I asked the women(? teen? twenty year old? not sure if they were female or not), "do your legs do this" and I shaked her legs, implying that the ghost made her legs and arms shake, I think I asked about the arms to. I asked her because I've had that happen to me in the past in an odd way. So I was like "yeah there's a ghost"(atleast I think I said yeah, it's a bit vivid). Then I said out loud, "I want the ghost to appear". My phone rings(think it was my old Motorola, not sure though) and I answer, "Hello". Then I hear this evil high pitched possibly demonic scream. I wake up startled, was definitely not expecting that.

This is my first Public post in a long time. Usually, I just post stuff on here to my friends to keep everyone informed on the good, the bad, and the ugly in life.
I updated my LJ profile, first time in a loooooooong time. I also have a song posted on http://www.myspace.com/jasonkarman aswell as my composition contest. Well the song is really a no vocal, sampler of two songs that are the most complete. And when I hear that drum track that Brian played, I think to myself how amazing it is we recorded that with only three microphones. And that may not sound like much, but his drumset was a 9 piece or something with a lot of cymbals, and the bass drum mic was like atleast 2 feet from the bass drum. But on the converse I hear the solo in Doing All Right and I can tell NOW that it was recorded direct(took me this long to notice it), I also feel the solo doesn't do me justice anymore.
Please pass the word around that I am looking for bands or band members. I am a real good asset to any band and can do any style, aswell as get into anything I play. Read my profile for more information.

I am disappointed because I wanted to go to Jobbie Nooner today. The band didn't end up getting everything situated so there was not going to be a PA and we didn't have room to bring all of that so we dropped out. Then I was hoping to just go to go and hang out and my dad's friend couldn't make it so he wasn't going so we didn't have a ride out there. We probably could of went if we were committed to playing, but I would of hated for that to be a dilema so I guess it all worked out. I was real disappointed because I was looking forward to going out that way, it's been several years since I've been out in that area. So I was getting jealous when I saw people trailing their boats. So that's that, it's an average day now.

I had to write about this too.
The concert was AWESOME! I was impressed.
When we got their they played Frank Zappa concert footage with Montana and weird conducting of the band, etc.
I missed the first song and their entrance because was getting drinks, but the set went something like this:
Insturmental ?
Let's make the water turn black
(erg... can't remember I'll have to update - several songs that I've heard)
Yellow Snow
King Kong
Terry Bozio came out and did some songs then:
Punky's Whips
Black Page I
(steve Via comes out)
Black Page II
(bozio leaves)
Peaches en Ragalia
Montana
some other songs
then they did their "final song"
then they played a video with Frank Zappa and he was soloing and they were playing with him and when he took his strap off they continued with Dwezil for 2 sec.
then they played the real final song: Trouble Every Day
The thing is that there are more songs I am familiar with that is written above, but I got to hear them cause I don't know the titles off hand. But the songs I really wanted to hear was Punky's Whips, Peaches en Ragalia, Montana. There were others but those I really wanted to hear especially Peaches en Ragalia.
So I'll update this in a bit when I recall the titles of the rest of the songs.
I am so glad I went! That's definitely up there with going to see Led Zeppelin live!
