(I did this post before kinda, I couldn’t put in each band though)

I tried to use songs from the album they were touring for but it wasn’t always available. I substituted my favorite songs of theirs when necessary.

I’m not sure, something should happen. I mean I have Fans that need to know what I’m doing and what I’m thinking!!
I’ve been on the busier side, not as busy as I could be but a lot more than this time last year. I am managing a band (www.myspace.com/criticalbeing) and that’s thrilling, I’ve changed my look a lot too, partially for the projected look of managing a band but a lot because I’ve been conforming to an ideal that just wasn’t me or who I want to be. Well that and laziness, I’m wearing my hair straight now, and it’s pretty impossible to not wear it straight, hello Mullet! It’s funny how much can change with a good haircut.
