Here are the pictures of Ryan and Cassi's wedding from Andrew's camera. To open them (Dad) you have to have the program Zipit (click that link to download it). Once you have Zipit, simply open the file. This will then give you a window with all the pictures in it. Select them all, and select "extract" from the "Zip" menu. Or if you are smooth with your keystrokes, click on one picture, hit

End of the year Record list (in no particular order):The Best:1. Bright Eyes "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" Great record...folk, pop, rock whatever it is. The most "put together" of all the Bright Eyes albums.2. Bloc Party "Silent Alarms" The ignored bastard child of Franz Ferdinand and the Cure. 3. Sufjan Stevens "Illinois" I got the chills the first time I heard "Chicago" on

I listen to a lot of public radio. Especially on long car rides. This being Thanksgiving weekend, I heard a lot. Most notably this piece on health and wealth by Stephen Bezruchka. Here is a link to where you can hear the piece in its entirety: http://www.alternativeradio.org/programs/BEZS001.shtml He makes the point that we are the richest country in the world, yet among rich countries we have

Anyone other than myself see Ron Artest on the Today show this morning? If there was ever proof that education is failing it was in his inability to form a complete sentence or answer a question correctly. I mean this guy was getting questions like "what color is the sky?" and his answers were akin to "I just learned how to tie my shoes." His answers just showed that he didn't understand the

Talk about moral superiority.... The good ol' GOP has just repealed a rule allowing Tom DeLay to continue to be House Majority leader despite his being indicted on felony charges. I can't believe this. How can you pretend to push morals in America when this is how you act? I guess i need some convincing that this is morally justified. Coming from a party touting their morals I would think they

I guess I don't understand anything anymore. This Desperate Housewives Promo has gotten way out of hand. Sure, I understand that you don't want your children to see naked women. I also understand that you have the right to complain about what is on T.V. just as much as I do (do we really need 3 CSI shows and 3 Law and Orders?). However, where are you when the news shows the clip every five

Oh my God I still have an active blog.......it has been 2 freakin years! anyway I needed to voice an opinion about things...... Ann Coulter (Fox news hottie): OK so she may be the hottest looking news anchor I have ever seen, but she is so far to the right that we can't trust anything she says.

School started back up and I have been a little busier this year than last. I am trying to plan a wedding and things of that nature. I have been out of town for 3 or maybe 4 weekends straight. It gets to be a little much at times. I was thinking the other day (yesterday) that I am going to have to leave the city of Chicago. It is killing me. I need to live next to a park and have a pond in my

Dan came up last week and we recorded some excellent stuff. 2 great songs of his "Shipwreck song" and "The Ballad of Justin Grim" just great stuff. I think we are going to try and do a few more later this week if we can fit it in. I like doing songs for other people. This way it isn't my songwriting on display and only my backing vocals are to be laughed at. It felt good to do nothing other than

I am currently trying to upload a small collection of songs that I recorded last winter (2001) something I like to call the "Getting Cold E.P." Only 3 songs but they are all dear to my heart. long story for each of them as they have been around sometime before I got the divine intervention which led me to finishing them. "Winterthick", "Baby's Lullaby", "Little Turtle". A display of my 4-track

I came to the conclusion not too long ago that I am going to put no more money into my car. I don't care how big of an oil leak, coolant leak, hole, rust, dent, etc.....I am putting no more money into it. Today while driving it seemed odd to know that I was going to let her die like that. Every song that came on the radio sounded like the last one I would ever hear. Odd feeling. I can't really

I have to get my car fixed and this means that I will have to be ridding the bus to work the next few days and that fucking sucks. Ridding it is normally cool and it makes me feel environmently friendly, but when you have to ride it in and out of the ghetto it is a little shady and just bad.

As we were all sitting waiting for the parents to come to us the journalism teacher began to pass out the new issue of the school paper.

I didn't have to be at school until 12 (i have to stay till 6) so I watched the Cure greatest hits DVD and more of the Today show than I have seen in a long time (Katie Couric is hot!).

I was feeling a little sick last night and I hate that. I have to be weak like that. So instead of sitting around all day feeling bad I made myself run 2 miles and lift weights. That seemed to do the trick. When I got home i felt like a million damn dollars. Lesson learned? Never slow down. Be like a shark always move foreward.

Well the Sparta/Thursday show was sold out Friday so i was left with nothing to do but drink. Too bad I really wanted to see both of them. I can't find the damn Sparta E.P. Anywhere. I am begining to think that Reckless Records (think the store in HIgh Fidelity but for punk rockers as a matter of fact it is less than a block from where High Fidelity was actually shot) is useless.

I have an exciting new crop of songs being born. The music is good and the vocals are comign along. My problem seems to be that I am too excited about recording them to actually write good lyrics. I can't point to any of my songs that have good lyrics and that makes me sad. Dan writes good lyrics. I have always felt I could write at a fairly intelligent level but, it seems nothing is coming my

I was reading out loud to my class today and i thought that i heard a lawn mower. I got so excited that I started tapping ym fooot on the ground because it was either that or i jump out of my skin. I have spring fever so bad. Even though it is snowing today i can't help but long for the heat and the rain of spring.

And it was a good day in the ghetto. I didn't even have to use my AK, I have to say it was a good day.......It is snowing again, I am just dumbstruck! I was trying to talk with a student of mine, but he has such a short attention span that he could even get past me saying his name before he was off talking and looking the other way. All of my students live too fast. It kills me to see them live

The band (if you can still call the Prozak Kittens a band) has been working on doing a version of Shawna. I recently got Pro Tools on my iBook and we wanted to try it out. I did my parts then I took it to Phil's place in Lafayette (laptops rule!) and then today I spent an hour trying to record the drum part. I found a cool trick. If you program the drums on a drum machine and then double them

Hey kids, Rock and Roll....Rock On Fuck your soul.......There are actually a lot of new bands that are getting some decent radio play that I think may be ok. There has been so much shit on the radio lately. I mean what does anyone with any taste at all in music care about Creed, Lincoln Park, or (insert rap/ neu-metal band here).

I am constantly pushing friends away. I have done so since the day I was born I think. I guess I can't let anyone get too close. What part of me was so damaged? I am never good enough for anyone in my own mind. I need to escape the ignorance and poverty and stupidity that is Austin High School. I think these kids are going to take all the love I have for teaching and turn it into hate for them.

Lately the music has been moving in Sine waves and I have been moving in whatever that square shaped wave is. I haven't been able to feel it, to latch on to the current. I need to find the beautiful words that carry me along In the CD player: Wilco "Being There" Amazing!

I lent my 4-track to Phil (dsledman.blogspot.com) so now I have to compose in my mental notebook. This could actually be good because I think that lately I have been jumping to record too fast. I need to let the ideas brew in my mind. If I forget them, then they were good enough to remember anyway. If the author can't remember the tune how can he expect others too?

It is absolutley unbelievable how much music can infect me. I turn into this hideously sick creature that can do nothing but act out the great rock opera. Every note burns and cuts me. Memories of days gone by flood my simple mind till I am near the brink of burnout.

I have been compiling a list of all the songs that I have written. It is sort of a patting myself on the back thing, but I am a lead singer. I came up with 42 recorded songs. I have other stuff recorded but it is either duplicates or live band preactices/shows, or stuff that never went anywhere past the embryonic stage. It made me feel good. I have been ona good role lately, using two riffs that

I was looking through my journals today and it amazes me how many songs I have started to write and maybe even finished, that no one will ever hear because I have abandonded them. They are my children, a part of my soul and it seems that no matter how long I have been away from them I can still sing them. I can still feel them. They were a part of me that needed to be free and I still can't get

I think there is a certain romantic quality to taking public transportation in a city such as Chicago (which I now call home). The feel and power of ridding the "L" to work everyday is something is terrible and amazing at the same time. I can feel the hopes and dreams of the people who built it and those that dreampt that one day people wouldn't need cars to live in the city. My trip to work

The lack of money seems to reduce people to an almost ferral level at times. I have read stories about Henry Rollins stealing food from peoples plates as they get up to leave. It turns into a game of survival. Who has time for the arts when you have no food on your table?

Wow! Two posts in two days, something must be wrong eh? Things are falling into place. Chicago is truley a city of neighborhoods. I feel almost at home here. and yet somehow, when i go to the more northeast side of the city I feel like a stranger. Different people and different bars. funny how that works. I am glad to have musical direction again. I was ready to give it all up until this weekend

Kerri was quite the good sport putting up with our noise. Her bass playing has really come a long way. It is good to have someone else to sing. We again need a real drummer.

A funny thing about independence: I went to the grocery store and post office today. All by myself like a big boy. It always feels good to go out alone and get things done. you feel independent. However, what made me feel the best was when I was in line and I bought a box of candy (Mike and Ike's Orange cream....yum yum). For some reason this made me feel like I was living for myself and not the

My life is spinning out of control and no matter how hard i try is unravels right in front of my eyes. right out of my hands. spinning like a gyre in an electric storm. no matter how together i seem i am far from the land and therefore far from sanity. lost at sea. don't bother me.

So my trip to Chicago was mostly bad (as described below) but I did get to see Poe at the House of Blues (for FREE!) I would totally recomend her latest release "Haunted" it is wonderfully well for lack of a better word, haunting. She uses tapes of her dead father talking along a little girl voce to move from track to track and it is amazing. not to mention she writes wonderful songs and sings

Empathy is a blessing and a curse of mine. Empathy is why I love the music. I feel every word they say deeper than I could ever imagine. Empathy is why I wanted to cry with every step I took on the south side of Chicago. I felt the beat down hope of those tired people and I wanted to do something, but not know what i just kept walking in the rain and I took off my tie. A cumbersome thing. and

Well it seems dues to geographical differences my band is coming to an end. I have spent the last few days writing about it so here is the history of the Prozak Kittens...... We were pretty serious, but I knew we were in different places with life. I knew that once summer hit things would c hange and our wonerful band would disentegrate. I say disentegrate because that is exactly how it happened.

The walls were covered with a horrible sponge painting experiment that our mother had tried (sorry mom). Such harsh primary blue and green. The triangles never looke quite right. I remember his odd colored bedspread and

I am afraid that if I don't leave now, I never will. One more year will do nothing more than strengthen bonds that are already hard to break as it is. My feet have been pured in concrete and even as i speak it hardens. One more year and I fear that I will be stuck here forever. This concrete prison school yard. Ivy chokes out the light, and the cement keeps out the heat. Cold and dead on the

Here is something i found amazingly interesting. I took this from an FAQ on the band Tool: What's "lachrymology" and what does it have to do with Tool? It has been widely decided that "lachrymology," the science of crying as a therapy, is just another one of the elaborate wild tales Tool makes up in order to keep us (or them) entertained. But because they make so much mention of it, it is

Songwritting is something (for me) that just happens. and every time I get one in my head I think that is the best song ever written by me or anyone. so I grab my six-string and work feverishly until I get something that I can call a start. Usualy I have to be in my bedroom or some other secluded area. This way no one can hear me struggle through a song that isn't written (especially if I haven't
