[22 May 2012|01:52am] |
i've really been getting deep into discussing my lack thereof religion with my mom through email in ways I never have been able to directly face to face. Its very sometimes very hard to discuss such fueled topics without interrupting or being interrupted. Most often for me it is much easier to collect my thoughts in silence of email and collectively include them all at once. i made this video for my mom tonight after recovering the last two days with a scratched cornea on my left eye that has had me laying in bed cleaning eye goop out. its healing fast though.
I wonder how my mom will react to this video. i almost am nervous to see her next time. sometimes I regret even telling her I don't believe in god. I know deep down the religious teaching she has endured in her lifetime force her to believe that my soul will be punished with eternal suffering because of this choice. I feel guilty for putting her through those thoughts even though I obviously don't want her to do so, I know she will. something inside of me felt like it was completely necessary to be open and free with my convictions and not hide them from anyone, especially the ones I hold most dear.

| just having too much fun. |
[17 May 2012|04:22pm] |
life has been good so far. my only complaint is too much fun means not a lot of moneys. should be saving for getting new triple insulated windows... winter is coming. well, don't wanna get to far ahead of myself cause summer hasn't even started yet. fun stuff.
Was going to do a LJCUT, but then though, ahhh. nobody posts on livejournal anymore (except Erin Beal) so who cares about the tidiness of your friends page. I force you to look at all of the below!
can't wait for someone to ask me to dj a dance party. i like basements. nice small tightly packed basements rule. my new setlist is coming along really friggin good.
our little kitty Carlton. He is getting so big now. My nickname for him is "demon monkey" because he climbs all over everything knocking things down and hiding anything that is left on the floor under the couches. He is getting his testicles frozen off on June 5th. He is going to be so mad at us. :( Part of me feels its so wrong for us humans to mutilate the bodies of other species, but in my heart of hearts know that if he ever escaped from our house we would be responsible for a gazillion feral kittens running around muskegon heights. the little runts just dont know better. gotta be a responsible pet owner, plus anything bob barker says is mandatory. once he is old enough and the girl kitties start howling outside he is going to be dripping semen all over our house, nobody needs that. I think Kate is trying to talk us into adopting a 3 legged cat from Noah Project to be Carl's play partner in crime. not to savvy ont hat just yet.
gettin' blazed and throwing discs. the usual. what what.
i really gotta stop going out to eat so much. man it adds up soooo much. plus im not the best tipster ever.
white boys can definitely not jump.
my mom hates this
been using the champion juicer to make juice and ice cream way more often. good things.
played this rave, not many people came, but it was still fricking awesome.
once casey spoelman finishes powder coating my bicycle I will once again have the flyest bike in all of west michigan.
fastly approaches 20 years old. i have to give him deep muscle shoulder massages every time i go to my parents or its hard for him to walk around. it scares the shit out of me to think we're gonna have to put him down someday in the near future. i've had this bastard since i was just a wee boy. always been my best buddy who will sleep on my chest every time i spend the night at my parents.
I saved up every empty spray can since i moved out of my parents, wow, 7 years ago. I finally put them to good use as target practice. that was fun. guns don't kill people. i do.
I have vowed to myself and made a pact that not a single week will go by this entire summer where I don't take the kayaks at least once. so far so good. i have room for 5 people now. invite your friends, i'll be your new kayak go to buddy for all your fun river trip needs.
the big digits dance party might have been one of the funnest shows i think i've ever done at the pothole. if ya missed it you're a dingus.
again, if you missed the dance party, you missed this. bummer
i made this little display because Corner Market in spring lake ordered 12 copies of the film. so cool. I never buy beer anywhere else if I can help it. This place doesn't have quite as good as a selection as Ladd's maybe, but i've never met a friendly person at Ladd's, they're all grumps. They scoffed at Locally Buzzed saying "they get all their beer knowledge from their distributors" when I tried giving them a free copy. can you believe that? Screw Ladd's Buy from Corner. Plus they allow you to take singles from any 6 pack there, ladd's doesn't have shit in their singles cooler anymore.
Not to brag, but i beat bmoney 16-14 overtime match on his own turf last week. suck on that ya stinker!
17,21,25. I looked at this and got scared thinking about what I will look like when I am 29. holy shit. I don't even want to think about being as old of a man as Derek Jones! sscaarrryyyy :)
my dad's dog Hoss is the boss. such a spoiled big doof.
been hanging out with Kris Weiringa a lot lately. He rules. Really glad we are close friends. one can simply not have enough baseball/kayak buddies.
mike savina is now an uncle to a little lad named, Oloren. thats a pretty awesome name.
gotta love my lady.

I bought two more kayaks today, frigging cheap. now i have 3 kayaks and a double kayak. need 4 solid friends to kayak with on the daily this summer. also the guy selling them threw in a pretty sweet couple hundred dollar telescope. best believe im gonna be scopin' some planets soon.
seeing mike savina for the first time in some years tomorrow. gonna be duckbomb songs to be had. maybe kayaking in the morn morn on wednesday. then baseball practice.... then some more work being done on thursday, then roller hockey... Palmer hall show on saturday. my neighbor jack is a little bastard. he promised me he wouldnt squirt me with a squirtgun if i filled it up.... first thing he did when i handed it to him... guess what he did... guess... look at that little bastard smirk.

please don't forget to come to the rave at the elks on friday. anyone who gets their groove on for gwompy will be my eternal friend, you can summon me to make you food and watch documentaries with you by going outside and yelling gwooommmpyyyy really loud. i promise if you do it loud enough i will hear it and come to serve your needs.
also. come to this dance party at my house on wednesday night. i've never met the main band im doing the show for but they are friends with Gone Bad and friends of gone bad are friends of mine. plus a band from the U.P. and its Sam Cook Parrot's birthday party so bring him a present, or a vaseline covered hand to give him a spanking. sexy.
also have fun putting this puzzle together.
also my beard is getting to the point where it looks terrible. i think i only look presentable with a slight 5 day worth of facial hair growth, or a beard beyond 6 months, anything in between that i think i look like a horrible disgruntled man. but ya gotta keep growing if ya wanna get into the big leagues, ya know.

playoff beard. man, this facial hair just wants to grow. i shouldn't even try to tame it. its at the itchiest stage right now, whew. i figure in order to finally obtain my Yeard (a year beard) I am at some point going to have to endure a summer beard. I figure having one during the 3 month beard period is wayyy better then the 9 month beard period. gonna start hopping on biotin and see how fast this mofo wants to mature. god damnit why did i just eat nearly an entire package of peanut butter cookie things. ughhh maximum resentment, damn you Kate you are the worst at hiding things.

In a room full of people drinking milwaukees best 40s and popov vodka I sit in the corner scared as shit while Carl Sagan's final writings published after his death discuss how there are enough nuclear weapons in the hands of delusional men to obliterate the entire planet many of times over. I feel so privileged and almost wish I could be so oblivious. Wait. Nah.

| La Armada show 28.3.12 |
[29 Mar 2012|12:37pm] |

The show was great. Sock set it up but had to go to Washington for his sisters wedding, so Rachelle, Phill, Rob and I tag teamed the responsibilities of making this work. Turnout was way good for a wednesday night... pretty much my small basements capacity. Bartholomew started the show off, i have a soft spot in my heart for Travis Hull and his undying passion for pop punk. After nearly a decade of knowing him he still holds true to the same style. great. unfortunately I think they all left with most of their friends shortly after their set was done because after a certain point I didnt see them anymore and didn't get any goodbyes. bummer. Next up was ENERGY! Rob Stillson's fresh as all hell solo hip hop project. My expectations were blown away. Rob really has got something going here. Second to last was Courtesy Spit. They get darker and heavier each show they play it seems. Rachelle had half her family in attendance which was cool. In all the years i've been playing in bands neither of my parents have ever seen me play at a show. They aren't very supportive in some aspects of my life. Lastly was La Armada. A huge hit, perfect set length, not too long not too short, great use of samples, and despite the first band not playing until around 8, La Armada finished up just slightly after 10pm. Then i messed around with my demoscene music playlist I have been working on in preparation to someday play one of Lexens raves. DJ Gwompy in the house. Time to return a crud load of beer bottles in exchange for toilet paper, which I found out we were out of AFTER I dropped the morning deuce.
   
( ENJOY THE REST OF THE PICTURES )
great job!

I'm laying here not more than 100 yards away on a big dune from Lake Michigan. Suspended on a hammock next to a bonfire and a thirty year old man. Nick Hanson bought me a slap chop the other day and we went for a really good bike ride to the beach. #Michigan Life.

Breakfast in the woods.
( need I say more? )
Also for good measure a new Symphony of Science video was released yesterday.
I definitely want to somehow mash it into my DJ Gwompy set I am building up.
Dr Alice Roberts, om nom nom nom ;)
A friend of mine who is in Taiwan right now on a Greenpeace boat to counteract illegal whaling in the southern oceans is going to lend me a hand on trying to get involved with the Sea Shepard. Oh wouldn't that be fucking fantasitc? Turns out without any knowledge of huge boat mechanics its a longshot, but man i'd drop literally everything in my life. the waters sure seem inticing.
I should probably just stick around and do some chemistry, mathematics, and biology learning and save up more money... oh well all I can think about right now is finishing up some editing work and going kayaking and camping tomorrow night with Derek Jones, Rob Stillson, Sock, perhaps Bmoney. Any other takers?

Bmoney and I went mountain biking the other day. was really fun. real tracks and stuff.
heres a video from my helmet cam, i know its just a beginners course and all, but maybe some day we'll move up ti the big boys tracks.
man, learning things is good.
I now have vowed that any time spent in front of a computer or television screen this summer will be strictly for learning purposes only.
man, the lake, a volcano, some chocolate and NOVA SCIENCE NOW combined into one is the only heaven I will ever want to be a part of. aaaaaannnnnnnnddddddd

Right now on NOVA, you'll find out what Darwin never knew.

sometimes i just am really appreciative that i and my friends exist.
after a nice 4 mile walk to from Lake Harbor Park North to the Nugent Sands factory with Sock, Cailey, Kate, Nell and the three members of the band that played last night I am back home. I am all cozy but the Health Hutt wrap I just comsumed has got me feeling like a nap. I was supposed to work all day editing some interactive mobile home demos, but it got cancelled and my dad and I just went out for breakfast at Toast & Jams instead. Glad I got the day free because that beach walk was deffinately exciting. The couple from the band are seriously considering moving to Muskegon based on the awesome vibes they got from the show last night. Its good to experience people from other cities acknowledging the positivity that your scene has that you can grow accustomed to and just view as normal. I think the trip through the woods and along the beach sealed the deal on them moving here, they looked like they really enjoyed themselves.
We found a kayak that had been massivly covered in sand somewhere along the shore. I think it is totally able to be reclaimed if I can get some shovels and a couple of good old chaps to assist in hauling it. Anyone wanna help me get a kayak. Will deffinately come in handy having an extra for when GONE BAD/ANCEINT FILTH come to town this summer. Man this show is going to be the most extreme awesome shows Muskegon has/will ever have seen.
A carp had washed ashore, still fully conscious with a large bloody hole in its side where seagulls had been eating it alive. I took the sharp end of my walking stick and swifty inserted it through its head penetrating its brain. Swift voyage into the peaceful nothingness that lies ahead my scaly friend.
Also, Dylan Crouse.
