hey...i just added a couple of pics of myself to the sidebar...

so, if you've never seen me, you can see me...inebriated.

they're both from a night of drinking and partying...and i didn't whip the camera out until after about 3 bottles...and the second picture is after 6 or 7 bottles, 3/4ths of a flask of rum, and a shot of ???...so...

better pictures to come soon. i swear.

by better, i mean...pictures of me while i'm sober.

//drunk
i've had the something corporate some drunk girl stuck in my head for the past few days...i'm almost done learning it on the piano, i just need to learn how to play the bridge part...then i'll be done. it's pretty easy, it's the same chord progression throughout, save for the bridge. i'm almost there.

all that has been running through my head is andrew mcmahon's voice singing

i kissed a drunk girl,
why do i do these things i do to myself?
i kissed a drunk girl,
and i'm sure i could've been anybody else.

i am so looking forward to their new album!

i've been doing the indie-piano-based-rock thing for a few months...and i love it.

it's really weird to see the reactions on peoples' faces when i tell them that...well, the reactions of those who i'd known in middle school...the reactions of those who knew me as the hip-hop kid. i was a damn good rapper...but, i really lost the drive to do it when the hip-hop scene became too...too...whatever it is right now. unfortunately, culture hip-hop isn't mainstream, and mainstream hip-hop is not reflective of a positive culture...so, as much as i want to get back into doing more hip-hop stuff...i'm going to delve into my soul and let it manifest itself however it does.

honestly, i just write and play whatever comes out...and if what comes out is considered rock, or indie, or emo, or r+b, or hip-hop, or pop...or whatever...it's just a consequence. i hate the fact that music has to be labeled, and everybody gets into their little musical cliques and stuff...music is music...love music.

there is only one kind of music...and it's music.

i like to dance. i like to mosh. i like to sing. i like to shout. i like to jam on the piano. i like to program beats. i'd like to learn guitar. i'd like to learn how to function a sampler.

i really want to learn how to surf.
and i really want to find an awesome so.cal social scene...still haven't found it.

//back.to.music
when i make it...(note, i said when, not if)...i think that it'll be interesting to hear a concert set from a guy whose influences lie in artists that range from prince, soco, dash, the roots, justin, a tribe called quest, ben folds...among other artists.

hopefully, by the time i make it...it'll be acceptable for me to have a bunch of hip-hop songs in the same set as a bunch of piano based rock songs...i'll have dancers as well as a band...it'll be interesting when my music gets out there.
