Well the year is nearly finished and with that in mind,I leave you with the best thing i've overheard in a bar in far too long. 
"Look at it like this....you've got three rocks right? You've got one foot on the future and the other is on the past, so what are you doing? You're just shitting all over your present."

I will reform this site at some point. but for now, find me on myspace.

So yeah, it's been a while since i touched this page. Myspace has pretty much overtaken my webmaster duties for me. Thanks to those of you who still check out this page.

4/1/06
Show at Station 4, April 23rd  21+  BE THERE!!!

And on a side note, I'm done putting writing on this page due to lack of interest.  I'm in the manuscript process for a book, so I'll keep you posted if I happen to become a member of Oprah's Book Club. Although, I do have some references to drugs and other things I've never done, so I'll probably be scrutinized for being a creative writer.

Finally back to Minnesota, in search of work and a true gateway to happiness. I added 2 new pics in the artwork section. Other daily thoughts have been posted on myspace. I'll get some new writing posted this week sometime and hopefully get some music online again as well. Thanks again for all the support. It's gonna be a good winter, I can feel it in my fingers.

It's good to be back home again
getting accused and arrested just for havin friends
oh it's good to be back home again

Been a fun week, you should see the stakeout they have going on my place. 
All because i'm shaky and my eyes were a bit bloodshot.  
Had an empty pipe in my pocket...in Minneapolis, ninety percent of the time you can still walk away with it. 
Was tossed in jail on 1000 bail. Just fucking rediculous.

Yes, I smoke marijuana, now leave me alone.

Sorry for the delays, life's kind of getting the way of things at the moment. Writing will get updated soon, I promise. And the album should be released by the end of this month, assuming things fall into place.

After a little setback, I was able to recover a little bit of my old work, but unfortunately not all. I will continue posting new pages for Gravyard Blues as the weeks go on. Thanks for all the support.  Also, please check out the Graveyard Blues Project website, it's slowly coming together but this train needs some more track.  All artists and musicians are welcome to submit.
