well i imagine this thing should be updated. we've been in and out of the studio this past week recording or working our shitty jobs. i'm very happy with the outcome of the recording thus far... i just started vocal tracking last night and my throat feels great. considering 2 days prior i was covered in hives and dealing with a sore throat.
here are a few quotes from sound engineer Jocko on the status of our recording
"...dude! it's like...
...A pack of lions set loose in an Old Folks home."
...A fucking tank crushing baby carriages."
...A machine gun attacking Bosnian school children"
Cody also video taped me and our new guitar player in the studio piss drunk and managed to compile a nice clip here http://www.indieaudio.org/zen/reddeath.mpg i do not have the ability to recall these moments with my memory.

so everyone is working quite a bit we are all running around preparing for what appears to be some hard work ahead of us. we had someone come up this weekend to try out for the position and he seems to be the perfect dude for the job i believe we'll try a few more people out and make a decision soon. we are so stoked to complete the family and begin the long road ahead. the BIG news that everyone and there brother already knows will be anounced really soon we just keep running into random hangups. i really cant believe how long its taken to get through the signing process.
yesterday i sent out a letter to the O.T.O branch in Buffalo. i inquired about some literature on Free Masonry and offered to get together for some coffee and just talk. i have no clue if they will even responde to my childish prodding i dont want to be a practicing member of the gnostic church but i do want to read more and increase my knowledge. its hard to digest and bring about new ideas from a book when you have no one to share critical diologue with. especialy qabalistic writings. so my expectations are to find someone that can chill out and enjoy a good conversation and discuss some of the ideas i've been entertaining.
"Break, break, break
At the foot of thy stones, O Sea!
And I would that I could utter
The thoughts that arise in me!"

first off. Crotchduster is the best band in the fucking world. last night at our show graham and i sat in Cannaes van drunk stoned and listening to crotchduster. i for one have been born again made new to glorify that what is Crotchduster. if you talk to me for the next month you will talk to me about this band.
we are leaving tomorrow for tour i am really happy to be leaving but am really pissed off that i cant get some things done before i leave. i am having new problems with my computer downstairs nad cant even get an update onto the internet for our website. this is begining to get rediculous. all i need to do is connect and load the bitch but explorer is crashing alot again. i would just put it on disc and bring it upstairs but the A:/ drive is busted on the upstairs computer. someone make us a temporary site. we'll give you a fucking sticker.

FUCK IT UP LOU!!!!!!!....
Look out jack, here comes the head crack, busting out hammers from the knapsack. people like talking, but that's all they do. You know they are all in shock when they see our crew. so step back, you best relax. Been doing this for years, fuckin' new jacks. We are the Niggaz, that started this trend, down from the beginning, it will never end.

does anyone know if you can "reinstall" explorer. or would that be like fucking with the kernal of an OS.the reason being. i can get my computer on now and i can get into paint shop pro. and a few other programs but my computer will crash shortly after and freeze everything up accept for the one program i'm running. this means i can do graphics for the most part but have little else i can do. like open up any program that use explorer to navigate. IE ftp clients and web browsers. this is just insane to think a computer can operate at this level. i would be better off buying a nice calculater at this point

we had a show last night in danbury conneticut. we were taking since the floods spot on the show after they canceled. it went alright. it was at the empress ballroom. the stage being like 5 feet tall so it made for an odd vibe. partly due to the fact we are still not used to playing bigger venues. basements and union halls tend to be our usual stomping grounds. we fucked around alot at teh show. and i'll post some pictures up. we took a group shot with us and If Hope Dies that should be amusing. we had the brilliant idea of taking a picture of all of us jumping at the same time.... it seemed like a good idea
there are people coming over to visit my family. so i've gotta keep it under the raidar. apparantly they will be sleeping in my room. because i have a giant bed for a nice christian couple to fuck on. i am intersted to see if the room will be worthy of such devine guests. maybe they'll pop in Vital Remains and read a few pages in Mr. Crowleys Gematria. or maybe they wont.
i plan on taking a hike. finishing up some lyrics for our new songs being written. call a few friends. and make a god damn day out of it.

3:53 pm - a posteriori
|
today i've sat around. i woke up in a terrible mood and its been somewhat of a challenge to shake it. i half expect i'm actually sick. in the past 2 days eating has caused me to become nauteous and my stomache aches most of the day. the things i am describing are all symptoms of stress. but i can assure myself there is little stress in my life to cause such an offset in my body. with the phsyical aching i have enjoyed such a great feeling of despair. one that overwhelms me to say the least. usually the melencholy feeling that accurs from time to time works itself out in a proper way by the end of the day. but i cant put a finger on the begining or end of this. its such a terrible way to be. typing this makes me feel alot better though. its so hard to put words on synthetical judment always subjec tto the law of contradiction. god i sound like i'm fucking 16

I realize in my last post i made a promise to update on how many people died from our show last friday... although no body's were robbed of life it was still rather interesting. the attendance was 300+ kids all ready to mosh. and mosh they did. i saw one girl get her two front teeth knocked out. boy did she look cute bleeding everywhere mumbling and without teeth to interfere with her amazing banter. she purchased our cd without the teeth.
.. and today the weather is amazing.

9:00 am - Thought is mind in the wrong place.
|
so i'm up bright and early on my day off. what better time than now to type in this wonderfull thing. today we've got a show that is gauranteed to have some fighting. sketchy fucking towns and sketchy fucking bands mix very well. i'm sure i'll post informing you as to how many people die tonight. after the show i've made plans to hang out with graham and dom at there apartment.. saturday the band has a meeting up in buffalo i'm stoked on mighty taco. mother fuckers are gonna get robbed!
in the past few months i've been having a hard time with my will. and even in the past two days i've meditated hard on what my will is. if I am the will or is my will the result of what i want. either way it turns out in the end to be double talk that is not much use. but how this applys is very simple. i want to change my will. i need to change my will. i have thought long and hard on the ideas of demon possesion as a reasoning for some of my personal thoughts but only come to realize that is a default rationalization built into me through social conditioning. i am not possesed. so how come my will frightens me? from my statement above i'm unsure as to what my will even is. if I am my will or my will comes out of Me. but I would be nothing without will. so i am will. blah! all double talk. that does not explain why at times there are what seems to be two wills. i'm considering the options that i have no control over paul hamblin because i am a result of every cause and affect infinitly into the past. it is quite simply an illusion to think i can change myself or even better that i am an individual occupying space. so it may be pointless to try and change what never changes. but this still dose not solve the prolbem. i am filled with compassion, love and understanding. but there is a terrible duality in me that could almost be explained as two people inside me. i see things at the most inapropriate times, it never comes when it is needed always in mid conversation about something thoughtless... i like the changing seasons, i love people, i love kitties, and my dog, i love little fluffy animals, and i love cuddling. i love watching the snow fall, i love picturing people torn apart, i love thinking about cutting up someon that hurts me, i love to think about what it must be like to stop being. sometimes i want to murder. i want to take apart the world.
i'm not frightend for others. i know im not capable of acting out some of my fantasies but i do need to controll the mechanism i am inside. this thinking makes me terribly depressed it is wrong to entertain this behavior. i want nothing to do with it. "dirt is matter in the wrong place" and it sertainly seems to be in the wrong place.
right now charlotte is sitting on my lap. she looks beauteous
