"A Holiday... Woot."
And JUST when you thought I was a complete deadbeat loser, I come back swinging like a monkey fighting a tiger!

First order of business - All albums remixed and remastered (Save for the TOA demo)! They are all now running at peak fucking quality suckas.

Second order of business - The Nightmare Battles has now suffered through its third version of voice acting and now I have declared it to be the FINAL version. I'm done with this shiz.

Third order of business - The Championship Battles IS FINISHED! Finally. It is done too and up on the music page. Live it up bitches. Live it the fuck up.

Fourth order of business - No more updates until January. That's right, it is break time. I wrote, recorded, mixed, mastered, remixed, remastered and finally PRODUCED five albums in less than a year. I think I deserve a break. We'll try for ten next year or something. HA!

Got some new pics to put up when I get back thanks to the most awesomest photographer ever YOSH! You rock!

Gonna finish that Vinosec section too and get the site back in order before I start on any new projects. 2008 is going to rock the casba. I'm out suckas!

Lataz.

"Damnit."
I'm giving this shit everything I've got and I'm still missing my own deadlines. For fuck's sake I feel like a total freaking loser every day anymore. Everything I strive to accomplish I fall short of. It's freakin' unbearable sometimes. I refuse to give up though. Though my whining level may increase I will not suffer to normalcy. I'm destined to stand out above the rest in some form or another and damnit I'm going to.

So needless to say I haven't gotten any of those three songs finished yet. Though I have been desperately working on my outline for the first of the three I still have a long ways to go. With any luck whatsoever I can finish it tomorrow and the other two the day after then get the copies made and be on my way back to Oklahoma for a much needed and hardly deserved break.

Mike D. and myself jammed with a drummer via the name Chuck on Saturday. He was cool. I can't really say for sure if he's going to work out in the long run but I think we're going to give him a shot and see how things pan out.

I've been feeling like absolute shit lately for some reason. My mind and body are just clashing with each other via upset stomachs and headaches. So, that sucks.

This blog sounds a lot like my own whining but there is a point. And that point is cheese. I got a new pic up for the main page. It looks like crap. I know. It is just a place holder until I can get some real pics for the gallery via my friend Yosh whom I'm still hoping will take some pics for me in the near future. Probably sometime in January. Until then don't expect a Gallery section to be up and running in any way, shape or form.

I've discovered a new webcomic called "Staccato". It is really entertaining despite there not being really a lot of comics on there yet. I definitely recommend giving it a read through.

I've got more site designs to work on and stuff but that will all probably end up being put on hold until I can get these damn songs finished. I also think that Embracing Fate I, II, and +255 all need to be remastered before I close out of the year. And then there's The Nightmare Battles...

I think I should discontinue The Nightmare Battles at this point because the album falls drastically short of everything that it SHOULD be. I know at some point I wanted to remake it, but now I am starting to feel like it shouldn't have been made at all because something that signals the beginning of a massive series like the 'Battles' series shouldn't start out that distasteful musically. Besides there are going to be a world of other 'Battles' installments and eventually The Nightmare Battles would end up being made and put forth and would still be considered the first in the series... I just think it should be done better than what it was. I'd love some feedback on it via Email or the forums.

"VinosecicA"
Embracing Fate II is finished. Listen to/download it on the music page under the 'Embracing Fate' series section.

This also brings about a minor change to the music section to cut down on load times and keep things organized a bit more. Sooner or later, probably in January or February I'd like to add another page to the music section called "The 'Four Bands' Series". More on that later. Also I got a wicked cool Q&A session that a Mr. Mewes and I did... Um. Yeah. That's interesting.

Three more songs and I'll have finished five albums in one year. Hell of a thing to think I accomplished that. Makes me anxious to see what 2008 will bring.

"B.D.S.H."
First off, check this out.

That is a drawing I did tonight because I'm so freakin' bored. Been getting all the kinks ironed out of the previous albums before I finish up The Championship Battles. I assure you though they will all be done and uploaded before I leave to go home.

Also been working on the Vinosec section of the website. It's taking some time but I promise it will be done before the new year begins. That's about all I got goin' on right now. Sorry for the lack of updates. Just trying to get things finished.

"No!"
Okay so this I thought was funny. Some of my friends really don't seem to fully understand the amazing ability I have to not be able to sing at all. I've tried before, it always fails. That's why I don't sing in my songs. I do alternative stuff. So, my friend Brookermoth decided that I should do a rock song via the likes of Pearl Jam or something and attempt to actually sing it. Holy fuck did that ever go wrong. It was so bad that I had to upload it for you guys to listen to. Seriously. Just UGH! Sid and I were listening to it and making fun of it. It's really bad. Anyway, today I re-did the song with new vocals and modified the overall sound of it to get everything flowing right. It came out satisfactory for Embracing Fate II. The singing version will never be heard from again. Ever. You can listen to both versions of the shit factory over in the mp3 player on this page.

"Yes!"
31 comics are now up. I'm done until I come back from break. The songs are going smoothly at the moment. I'm screwed for 31 in 31, but I should be able to finish up both The Championship Battles and Embracing Fate II before the 17th which is when I'm going home. Only got 7 more songs to go and about 6-ish days with which to do it in. Wish me luck!

Projects section is up now too by the way. Working on the Vinosec section. I swear!

"I'm not dead yet!"
Got some of the new comics uploaded. Still behind on both comics and songs. I don't really care so much at this point. My main goal now is to just get everything finished by the 17th so I can go back to Oklahoma for a week or two and chillax. Gonna try to get those site sections up tonight. I swears.

"What a day!"
Okay, so +255 is freakin' done now. It's on the music page and you can just download it on this page too.

I'm significantly behind in my 31 in 31 thing on both the drawings and the music. I still believe I can catch up though so all hope is not lost. Finishing +255 set me back a lot and a rekindled interest in Final Fantasy XII set me back even further. I'll let you know when I'm back on track. Shizer!
