I'm not dead

no, I'm very much alive.. just wanted to say that for anyone who cares. Just haven't been feeling particularly blog-y lately for some reason. I feel like I don't have much to write about.. guess that means I've been out of touch with things for a bit.
hey what the ass.. I'm actually blogging about something write now.. this very moment.. well look at that! funny how these things work out.
so yea, I've been out of touch with things for a bit.. haven't been taking on much things external to my personal life and a bit of that is a little TOO personal to write about. Apart from that I'm still currently trying to look for a job.. and trying to figure out what exactly happened to my drum beater cus it's not pulling back after it hits the beater. Need to get one of my drum friends to come check it out for me.
My band took first steps to sign to a new local label - OddSound Entertainment (not to be confused with OddOne Ent. which is a different company but same type of business (music label). We signed a pre-contract merchandising agreement with OddSound so we should be getting our own merch sometime soon! we may need a logo first tho.. ahhh the ever elusive logo that we haven't gotten as YET, after all these years *sigh*. We're getting our own.. get this.. condoms as well. Every band under the label gets their own type of Trojan condom. We get 'twisted pleasure', another band gets 'ultra-sensitive' and another band gets 'magnums'.. now which band you think got the short end of the straw with that one? lol. I feel so... inadequate

so that's that.. two shows are coming up on the same night. I'm pretty turned off by this especially since the promoters whose show was confirmed after the other show are supposed to be supporters of local rock music and bands. That's not support in my opinion. I've supported these promoters before and I'll support them after but I'm not joining them like I had a chance to. I've realised I'd rather be accountable only to myself and no one else.. I really am more of a loner than I previously realised. But yea.. even if I were playing with the second show I'd still be against it.. hell even if it were MY show I'd be against it and move the date (i know this because it's happened with me before).
Incidentally I AM playing for the first show to be confirmed on that date.. it's the label's debut show with the three bands signed to them. It's gonna be a concept show and sounds like it'll be pretty kickass.. which makes me even more angry that another show is happening the same night because I feel like that other show is robbing both these promoters and the people who won't attend of a great experience.

well we'll see how it goes.
I out.
