ooh… something new

So, here’s the news update..

1. I live in Hollywood, CA now - with my good buddy Nad. We live Right behind the Scientology Celebrity Centre. Fucked up shit, man. I have an entire wall made of windows that looks out onto the street in front of me (and the 30+ apartments across the street), and a window above my bed, facing the aforementioned celebrity centre. So, I wake up every morning and see top-story windows of the centre opened, and sometimes I SWEAR I can see some weird scientologist watching me sleep. Then, I crawl out of bed to turn off my alarm, still in my boxers - and I’ve got a whole neighborhood watching my morning routine. I really need to get some blinds this weekend. I haven’t rubbed out a good one in… quite some time now.

2. I’m "single" now. Celina and I broke up when she moved out - to Yorba Linda. Neither of us (so far as she’ll admit) has utilized our single status, yet. My money is on her, for who will break that streak first. It’s always the woman - at least, in my life it’s been that way.

3. I still work at VividCash. Nothing new there. But.. they bought me a Dual 2Ghz G5 a few months back, and gave me a $500 bonus for my "outstanding work". So, I’d say I’m doing well.

4. I’m kinda-sorta starting work on a solo album. I’m slowly building up my audio/recording equipment - got myself a 49-key MIDI M-Audio Radium USB keyboard, an acoustic guitar, a Les Paul Gibson (which I’ve had for years, really) and a host of new software audio editing apps. I’ll need to pick up a pre-amp and USB mixer soon, and maybe a few other things, but I’m gettin’ there. It’s difficult to learn the piano, guitar, 3 full-featured audio apps, and basic audio mixing techniques all at once, let me tell you. But, on the plus side - it’s fun.

5. I was in negotiations for a badass radio gig for several months. Myself, and a team of good radio-types put together a helluva show, and were shifted throughout several companies. Just before there was ink on the dotted line - Justin Fuck-ass Totallyfake and Jackit Jackhole decided to pull a stunt at the Super Bowl, and the whole country went nuts. Things like Howard Stern are/were being held over fires - and our show was to be more outrageous than even Stern has ever been. So, naturally, we were given the "no… sorry, just not a good time" speech. We’re working to put together a public access show now.

I’m beginning some "new life" for myself now. I’ve got a very, very concentrated amount of friends - all of which I could count with less than one hand. I’m working on other projects that I’ve not mentioned above, and I don’t intend to mention until they’re at least 70% completed. It’s a wild time for me. I’m starting anew, in a sense. My wordly possessions are able to fit into this tiny room here in Hollywood.

I’m excited, though. I look forward to what’s coming next. I’m 25 now and not where I wanted to be by now, so it’s "go time" for me. Here’s hoping I can actually get something done, and get somewhere interesting and wonderful in life.

That was gay.
But then… so am I, a little bit.
