my dream of getting paid to play the drums is finally coming true!!! :)

worthless

i can't write a long entry (i.e.- more than 3 paragraphs) without relentlessly rethinking, revising and editing every damn aspect of it. it's impossible for me to just blurt out my thoughts and never turn back (which i'd prefer doing since i don't like investing so much time into updating this blog).

curse my perfectionist state of mind.

for now, i'm following the "pithy/cryptic 1-2 sentences" path. it's kind of pointless, yet practical nonetheless.

in other news, please support my new band by "fan-ing" the facebook page:

'preciate it.

cryptic lyrics for my first complete song

"words, places apart" - gypsy club

call to you in empty space

words that fail to move

once was lost and still remain

all is still the same

the air so cold so far from

the sun that feeds the light

time could bring a cure for this

for now i'll still be here

if you want to practice humility, you can start by not telling others that you're trying.

so the band doesn't suck. they don't play my preferred type of music...but it doesn't suck. and they're all more than decent (quite skilled, in fact) musicians who are actually motivated to, well, do things.

we'll be practicing and eventually recording a demo. once we have that, we'll be looking for gigs to play. I MIGHT ACTUALLY GET PAID TO DO THIS.

cool.

my roommate's friend's friend asked me to play drums for his band. he apparently has an album's worth of songs and a reserved practice space with a drum set, microphones, amps--basically the works.

i really hope his music doesn't suck.

twenty ten

one glass of champagne ---> asian glow. sigh.

oh yeah, hooray for 2010!!!
