One Week of My Life Spent on Fireflies.

In case you don't follow me on Twitter, or visit Myspace [which, honestly, who of you would be HERE if you didn't.... honestly??], I posted a video in which I call "The New Hotness" on my YouTube channel.

It's a cover song. And it rocks. See for yourself...





Just think folks... this nearly 3.5 minute video took a week of my life away. A week I can never get back. So you'd better like it- nay, you had better love this video. I put in a big heaping dose of extra special love powder into it- so that I can hypnotize you into all becoming devout, adoring fans of mine.


And with that, I send you on your way. All I ask in return [and by return, I mean... the fact that I give you eye awesomeness in video form] is that you worship me. No wait- I'll just take comments and retweets, actually. And your first born. Too much??

Longest Weekend Ever.

So maybe I haven't mentioned it much on here, but I regularly play on Sunday mornings at church alongside some of my very talented friends [namely, Travis Ryan]. I do this for a few reasons:

1. My friends are awesome
2. It provides me with a good few hours of "dude time" each week
3. Money in the bank

Also, since I started my music career in the Christian music industry I could essentially do this stuff with my eyes closed.

We get a lot of opportunities to play as an actual band for Travis as well at conferences, other churches, large gatherings and more. Typically it's a pretty good time and is shrouded in moments of complete ass-clown-ness, which of course I love.


This weekend was particularly a busy one. Playing for 2 different churches on Easter Sunday, our schedule was as follows:


Saturday:
5am call time for Saturday conference at Saddleback Church
9am to 1pm Playing/Hanging/Eating/Playing/Playing/Douche-bagging
1pm to 2pm Short break to go home and grab my equipment for rehearsal [different gig, different gear]
2pm to 7pm Set Up and Rehearse [with full choir and string section] for Easter services
7pm to 10pm Family Dinner, Easter egg hunt, the whole "preaster" nine yards.
11:30pm Fall down dead asleep with the wife by my side


Sunday:
4:45am call time for "Sunrise Service" event in Coto De Caza
6:30am Service #1 Set to begin [ran 20 minutes late]
8:30am BEGIN PLAYING for huge Easter service [the time crunch of death between the 6:30am service and the 9am service- was so brutal!]
9am Service #1 at Church #2
11am Service #2 at Church #2
1pm Load Out/Pack Up
2pm Fall down dead alseep with the wife by my side
3:30pm Earthquake- momentary nap interruption [rude, Earth... real dick move you pulled there]
8pm Wake up. Movies/Dinner/Hang Time with me lady.



I must admit- this weekend FLEW by because of how busy it was. I couldn't believe that by mid-day on Sunday it was all over. For all the stress, anxiety, and time that went into these productions, I was glad I got to spend the weekend doing some playing with the dudes. Sometimes- every now and again- the fast paced life is nice to get back into. But when it's over, I'm reminded of how much I love sitting in a studio writing tunes every day. Here's some pictures from today- hold on tight, they're pretty awesome. See if you can find me:










Stay chill.

I felt this was necessary...

just to jog your memory. You know, because I referred to my keen looks in the post below.




Thanks to my friend Trever for always making it possible for me to appear actually good looking in still life if I suck in and hold my breath 3 to 5 minutes at a time. And to my wife for dressing me [come on guys, you know behind every good man stands a woman holding a blazer and tie].

Private Things.

I'm not sure I ever blogged this. Okay. I'm sure I didn't. I mean, who am I kidding really?


Well, not too long ago [about 6 months] my ultra stellar song Changing The Story was featured on a promo ad for ABC's hit prime time TV show Private Practice!



I'd say that's pretty close to Grey's Anatomy's schmappy seconds- wouldn't you?? My wife actually loves this show, so you can imagine how laid I got for this:







I'd refute that last statement... but there's no need to. I mean, come on, have you seen me?? You're probably into me, too!



Enjoy the vid- and don't forget to check out my youtube channel- I'm doing some pretty killer stuff to keep it spicy like Tapatio over there.


Ah, what other blog can you visit that will reference [successfully, I might add] the "mexican ketchup" in a paragraph and actually make it WORK with the rest of the commentary?? I'll bet several places! But here... here you get true love, straight from the heart.



Thanks for the visit! And if you aren't following me on twitter yet, you missed a hell of a day on April Fools. That's all I'm sayin.
