January 4, 2009 We got to see Nana & Sam at their new house in San Diego, and eat at Ruth & Don’s house and have Mexican Monday!!! Gotta love the taco nights!!! While in AZ we got to see ‘The Spirit’ and I was VERY disappointed… very boring story, & not as cool looking as Sin City. We also got to see ‘7 Pounds’ good story but toooo long and boring…. we also got to do some mountain hiking, damn that's fun! bring the ipod and water!! They don't have a Planet Fitness in AZ so we tried to do as much hiking as we could :) Played the Social last night and it was awesome… can’t wait to play there again. We may have found a bass played for DMD so we can move Alex to guitar. I’ll have to figure out what the new look for DMD will be to go with the NEW logo, oh yeah, new logo. |

Monica's house is pretty crazy, the floors are very rough, and feels like we're living outside but we're inside, and the doors are as high as the ceiling feeling like a castle, see photos here. We've been trekking through Tucson doing this and that. We ate downtown at La Indita, they had GREAT Chips & Salsa, and an awesome chimichanga... we've been getting Monica's husband Michael up to date on technology with their computers (what's new right?). We'll be heading to San Diego tomorrow to spend a few days with Evelyn's mom & Sam to check out their brand new home, also visit Evelyn's grandfather Orlando. |

Gas prices have finally come down over the past few months, and man I think EVERYONE is happy as shit right now because it was up to almost $4 a gallon, now it's around $1.50 a gallon, which is fucking incredible!!!! I sure hope it stays like this for a while... |

Jim McCourt & I videotaped everything during the recording. Jim put together a funny 'Behind the scenes' video to go with the music, but we're not releasing that until after the song and the real video are released. |

August 5, 2008 Yes, that’s what I said. We got together a few weeks ago to make sure we were all down, and then we had a practice last Saturday. Needless to say we are going to have a great 10th year reunion show September 20 at the Backbooth. For more info go here: myspace.com/deadnervoussystem
DMD is doing great… we had a great CD release party at the Dungeon and made some good money to make a dent in our loans to pay off the CD. We’ve been talking about recording more music, even though recording the music makes no money it keeps the people coming to the shows!!! We’re talking about making some heavy ass music and some really light melodic music, this band is very versatile and I LOVE IT!!!!! So we should have some new tunes available for purchase on the web by fall 2008. Webskinz is still afloat and paying our bills even though the recession is killing all businesses everywhere! I guess I have something good here :) |

May 13, 2008 Got the CDs yesterday from Discmakers and they look awesome!!!! I can't wait to start selling these things. I've been doing so much work with Solstis Records today and yesterday to get these CDs to the radio stations, & magazines it's just not fun, but it needs to get done! In an earlier posting I wrote that gas prices were $3.24 March 28, it’s now May 13 and it’s $3.70. WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!?!?!?!? It went up $.50 cents in 2 months!!!! Who the hell can afford driving? I imagine people not even working anymore because their pay check goes right into gas to get to their job and back home, why work? I know we need to work to pay the bills, but what the hell is going on with gas prices? |

March 28, 2008 Evelyn left for Arizona to see her sister, mom, & step dad, and left me to take care of the kid and the dog. That’s not the ridiculous part. Evelyn’s been slowly showing me how to do more of the Webskinz business side like billing, and server side stuff, it’s just another thing I have to do… I knew this stuff was hard and time consuming, but it’s worth it because it’s been opening up more time for Evelyn to do her thing and I think she’s not as cranky as before. Other ridiculous stuff; Now that we’ve rerecorded some of my vocals, and remix the CD it sounds great, we had it remastered and it sounds even better! I went over too Timmy’s house to make sure everything was done with the CD artwork, and I finally sent it off this morning to Duplication house. Putting together our CD release Party in Orlando, and other shows in other cities to sell our CDs. Trying to make time to redesign the myspace page, and our website to reflect the new CD release in between all of the Webskinz work is challenging to say the least. It's been a busy few months, I haven’t even had time to watch TV or a movie, which is really pissing me off! OK, so maybe I have been able to watch a few movies, but I didn't get to enjoy them beucase it's rush and watch it, now work. I guess it sounds worse than it is, most people would bitch at me because at least I’m working and enjoying my kind of work and actually making money when this whole world is in recession, gas prices were $2.70 at the beginning of the year and now it’s $3.24, that’s $.54 cents... I’m glad Evelyn chose to buy the Honda Civic; it’s great with gas mileage! I’ve been driving down to West Palm Beach to jam with the guys every other weekend for a year now and we’ve saved a little money on gas. I didn’t even have time to take a picture for this blog. |

I'm in Arizona for Christmas. Evelyn, Justin & I came to Arizona together to stay at Evelyn's sister's (Monica) house. Pito left Florida for Arizona on Thursday with 
Dead Mens Dreams got to record one of our songs "Prophecy Rising" at Chris Kirkpatrick's house (founding member of N'Sync). Chris was cool as shit and so were his engineer (Sam) and producer (Mike). We all had our concerns that our song wouldn't be heavy since we were recording with the guys from N'Sync but our worries were over when Claude got to record his guitar tracks through a Marshall & a Mesa head!!! mmmmmm... crunchy!!! We had a hell of a great time recording the song. We got it all recorded and almost all mixed in one day/night. We're awaiting the master as I type this. 
I down to Naples with Evelyn to hang with my Brother Warren & his woman Carmen for the 4th of July. Had a great time as usual!
