I just might puke...

So i was sitting here with my fiancee today and we were talking about one of Bernoulli's (my band) upcoming show. It's supposedly is going to be for 5000+ people and so in my mind I'm thinking that is about the same size as like a Bogart's or Madison theatre so we did research. Try 4 times the size of those venues. That alone makes me a little nauseated. I have full confidence in the guys in the band it's just the unknown always seems a little unstable. Today was a great day though, I woke up to do a photo-shoot with my side project Starving in the Belly of the Whale (www.myspace.com/sitbotw) and the morning was gorgeous. Not only that but ever since the iPod player in my car left I've had to listen to the God awful radio and they were actually playing music I could stand, including "Best of You" by the Foo Fighters and I truly forgot how good that song is. I think I would put it in my top 10 songs from the last 20 years. So thinking of that it got me thinking what songs would actually be in that list and so right now I am compiling a list of the best 10 or 20 songs songs since 1990, and the criteria is songs, in my opinion, that I play over and over and they never really burn out. As soon as I hammer out the kinks I will post it for all to see. Well at least for the 3-4 of you that might actually still read blogs.

Please read before you read ANY of my blogs...

If I am lucky enough to have any readers, I figured I could use a place to express my thoughts on life, society and music, that isn't so mainstreamed and keeps me from writing cynical status updates on facebook. I'm really not super pumped about how we as a society are moving to this online networking thing. It has it's ups and downs but I'm just sick of the twitter, facebook society that only seems content on one-uping what happened the day before. Hopefully I'll have time to write on here quite a bit, and with any luck maybe some people might read what I have to say. I'll feel better just to be able to document my thoughts, where I can go back and look on them and be able to see how I grow. Not going to say much more today but you should probably know these are opinions that I have formulated over my life and there are very few things set in stone. A foolish man i s a man who thinks he is never wrong and I promise you I have been, am and will be wrong from time to time. With that little disclaimer enjoy what you read and I look forward to having many discussions with the readers, if any...
