So I'm in a bit of a creative time in my life right now. i guess i go through these spurts - and by creative i mean of course, musically. I haven't started this many songs at the same time in awhile. I've also gone back and created worthy-demos to songs that i haven't really paid that much attention to. songs that have been around the stever-brain for years just now really getting light shone on them. I think it has something to do with being inspired by great songwriters that i'm just starting to get into like Sting and the Police and Elvis Costello. Here are a few of the new songs i'm a-working on:
Friends and Enemies
Grey (You Know)
Outer Space
Never Really Noticed (working title for now)
There You, You Go
We Are All Robots
Give It A Shot (just started!)
and about 3 or 4 others that don't have any lyrics or real names to them yet. go me!
don't you hate it when you burn the top of your mouth on pizza? |

Here's a picture of "the Robinson Crew" from November 4th, at Tim's B-Day dinner. The 5 of us posed for this picture at least 4 times, for multiple cameras, and seeing as how mine hasn't been developed yet, this one is courtesy of Tim. Hopefully in mine Allison has her eyes open.

There's an artist who works alot in Rolling Stone magazine named Pablo. He does those really cool and funky characterizations usually found in the reviews sections. His illustrations are for the "Rolling Stone Hall of Fame" albums. Here are some cool ones he did of the Beatles (he took alot of liberties with Ringo, but John, Paul and George are spot-on.)

Last weekend i made my trip to JMU for Halloween, and although i wrote about it i didn't put up any pictures. I brought my camera but didnt take any (although Eddie took one of Toine hitting on Emily that NEEDS to be developed) so these pictures are stolen from friends. Place your mouse over the pictures to get info on 'em.
I'm about to go to a birthday dinner (i actually have 2 friends with birthdays today!) so this is gonna be a quick one.

So for the past 2 months i've been running a mile or 2 just about every other day. i've also been doing 60 pushups and 80 situps each night for about a month too (i just bumped that up to 70 p-ups and 120 s-ups yesterday.) I also decided to not do fastfood of any kind (excep Subway where i get a turkey and provalone on wheat) for a month. Why? cuz i was starting to get lazy and even worse: started gathering a gut. I can safely say that i've lost about 75% of the gut from this regimen, but today i caved on the fast food. i was just in such a mood for chicken mcnuggets (my heroin) that i went and got a large #9 meal. I don't exactly remember the day i started the 'no fast-food month' but i know it was between the 5th and 9th of October, so i got pretty close! I'm going to force myself to not eat fast food more than once a week (and i'll try to do longer than that) while continuing my running and exercises. Next time you see me my muscles are going to be busting out.

I decided to visit my old "haunting ground" of Harrisonburg, VA for halloween. It felt weird to be back... actually not a good feeling. But it was real cool to see and hang out with friends i haven't seen in awhile. Nate is Nate, Brittany is Brittany, and Liesel has lost weight and has a nose-ring.
Toine and i drove down for the night. We arrived and went to Ruby Tuesdays, because no one was at their respective homes. Nate was working but he wasn't our waiter, although he did stop by and talked to us every now and then. He got some girl to come up and tell me she wants me, and he told toine that our waitress (who toine wanted probably because she met his requirements: female and within 10 feet of him) was pregnant. We met liesel when she got offa work and went back to her place (where she now lives with nater.) She definitely looked different! she dressed up into her costume which was a redskins fan, Toiners dressed up as an escaped convict (he actually BOUGHT an orange costume and handcuffs) and i was a nerd (lots of dressing up and hours of makeup...) We went off in search of festivities!
Brittany's sunchase apartment beckoned. She was dressed as "a little kid" and her roommates and friends were: 2 moms, a girl from The Incredibles, and a redneck. Emily Jerome and Eddie Coin showed up and they were "white trash" and "emo" respectively. We all went to a party in Fox Hills, and stayed for maybe 5 minutes, it sucked. We trekked up to another party where we met up with nate (NOT dressed up!) and Stephanie (Brittany's roomie and one of the "moms") had beer poured on her, so we left (thus losing nate and liesel.) Toine, Emily, Eddie and I went to a party Eddie knew of, which wasn't all that great, but there were some funny moments as Toine tried his hardest to hit on Emily (Eddie and I dubbed him "knight in shining armor")!!!!
After a long night out, i came back and stayed up watching horrible horror movies with Brittany's friends, and didn't crash until about 7 am on the floor. I was one tired nerd... |

I've finished watching all the seasons that are currently on DVD of Smallville. What can I say, i'm both proud and ashamed i made it all the way. The third season was more interesting than #2, while #4 started out even better, but then sunk quickly. Looking back on 4 seasons worth of a 45-minute show, i can honestly say i'll probably never (want to) see these again. Kinda like the time i downloaded the first two NES versions of the Metal Gear games, and then finished them. It was nice at the time, but i ain't never going back.
I've found myself in a bit of a creative streak. i'm currently working on more new songs than i have in FOREVER! |

Last night i had dinner with Tim and Allison. It's been awhile since i saw either one of them, and even longer since all three of us were together. Allison picked TGIFridays in the new section of Tyson's Mall. I've decided to go a month without fast food, and chicken nuggets/tenders of most kinds are on that list. so instead of getting the normal "stever-usual" of chicken tenders, i got the chicken ceaser salad. it was actually really good, and only had about 4 peices of chicken - surprisingly it was the salad that was the best part! WHO KNEW?!?!?!?!?!?
anyways, the three of us had a good time (and me and tim 2 beers) and talked about what is going on with us but as usual alot of our past came up - we did goto high school together. it was fun, and i hope to do it again soon. after dinner we walked around the mall and checked out a bookstore. It had 2 levels, and we spent most of our time on the first floor where the music was. I saw some guy i recognized from JMU but i don't think he recognized me. Allison danced in the cd section to "Jesse's Girl"...
We left and i followed Tim over to his parents house in fairfax. i haven't been there in YEARS and it was interesting seeing the place and his parents after so long. They were equally surprised. weird.
i've stumbled upon a pop-rock fivesome that's pretty cool. they're called the Click Five, and they only have one album out so far. Paul Stanley co-wrote one song with them, two songs are written by guys from "Fountains of Wayne," and on a few shows they opened up for the Backstreet Boys. They're pretty cool. All play instruments and they dress alike in suits similar to early-Beatles. But the awesomest part is lead-singer Eric Dill. His voice can reach real high notes full-voiced. We're talking in Robert Plant-range! I recommend the song "Good Day." Let's see what happens with these guys. |

Toine has let me borrow his Smallville dvd sets. I went thru the first season in about a week, and i'm already on the last disc of the second season. It's an interesting show. If it were not for the whole 'Superman as a kid' plot, i doubt i'd even sit thru an episode. But because of it, i give it a shot. It's a mixed bag: some stuff is directly stupid like the emotional content that always gets thrown in (it was done great in Full House: it was something else to laugh at), and the 'hip' music thrown in. Oh, awesome, this scene begins with a song from The Calling!!! And oh man that theme song sucks.
But there is some cool stuff too. It's nice to notice little things thrown in from the comics, like Lex almost always wearing a purple shirt, and Clark wearing almost exclusively only blue and red. Also, i'm not sure where i stand on the story. Lex and Clark are friends... it's questionable but interesting at the same time. The same with how every student and teacher at Smallville High seems to either get super powers, die, or both. The best part so far was when Christopher Reeve (THE Superman from the movies) guest starred. He did an excellent job (mind you, he was wheelchair and oxygen-tank bound) and music from the movies was used during his scene (the only emotional content i've felt worked so far.) I'm sure i'll borrow seasons 3 and 4 from Toine, and maybe catch up on season 5 - happening now. We'll see...
On the vocational front, Dad's lined me up with 2 IT job fairs. The first one for IBM seems like it'll only be a trial-run, considering they're looking for people with 'professional experience,' but the second one is aimed more at recent college grads and involves something called speed-interviews, which is remeniscent of speed-dating. Wish me luck.
