That was an okay Valentine's Day I guess. ;)
...yes, Tarra's punching me in the face for that as we speak.16 commentsFebruary 14th, 2010

This is how excited I am about 3,000 subscribers on Youtube.
The truth is, I'm starting to believe less and less about Youtube and more about the big picture of what I'm going to do about my music. I have taken the right steps in building a backup band, getting a standard income, and going back to my roots of being inspired by the contemporary issues first, and the emotional aspects last, with the music being the connection between the two.
I tried making a video but I guess God has a sense of humor, making my interface act strangely. I'm taking this as a sign that I'm going to continue to put off the music videos and music vlogs until after I meet with Tarra and we discuss my business plan in its entirety. Then I'll know what the next step will be: my own website, and gigs.
Also, keep in mind, I am also switching over to blip.tv as well as Youtube. The community is there on Youtube, for sure, but I can no longer tolerate the most peculiar adversities stemming from such a place - people being obsessed with fame, people being jealous of others' fame, and people being fake - I'm going to have enough of that stuff on tour. I'd rather keep me and my songs as part of a chronological account of the world around me, and how I'm perceiving and expressing it. It's an auxiliary campaign part of the whole journey, but I've chosen not to be consumed by it. What happens on a stage and how engaged I can make an audience is more important to me now - not view counts, sub counts, channel views, and the like.
However, thank you all who are subscribed and have enjoyed my videos thus far. I hope when I open up my website you'll be satisfied with what's in store. Thank you so much for your support - remember that you make this happen, all I can do is so little compared to what my friends and fans can do. If you want me to be heard, it's on you, and you will take all the credit.
I am simply something to take up spotlight space.
Cheers, and those in Chicago, I'll be contacting you soon!16 commentsFebruary 11th, 2010

And the countdown begins - days left before I go to Chicago and see certain peoples like my girlfriend especially - duh - but hopefully also @Meaningless_Thoughts, @jkimisyellow, @CharlotteSpeaks, @bunnymynost, @Jillinois, anyone else who cares to meet an Oregonian boy who'll be missing his logging company protesting back home.
I'll be there from the 13th to the 15th kids. Hopefully get something awesomely awesome together with the few of y'all I know over there!14 commentsJanuary 29th, 2010

So @CharlotteSpeaks took this photo before I suffocated and imploded due to the extreme pressure of outer space.
RIP Me.18 commentsJanuary 14th, 2010

Don't mind me, just me and my girlfriend watching each other wake up on Skype. =)
It's funny being this happy, haven't felt it for what seems like such a long time. Finally having that new someone in your life, a new sort of hope, as you walk skillfully and effectively away from the tarnished ashes of the old, is nothing more than a feeling of victory.
Since I met her, every day that has ended or begun was faced with strength, confidence, and hope - rather than dread.
What kind of moments have changed your life? How have they done this, in both negative or positive ways?37 commentsJanuary 12th, 2010
