CURIOUSLY, CURIOUS

I've been wondering how many people take a look at this, and if anyone really cares. There may be a more simple approach, such as a page counter, I may be unaware of, but anyways, this may and should prove to be a far more interesting approach.

I took these pictures when I was in Copenhagen, Denmark, last November, and to this day, I still am not quite too sure what my final thought on it is. Take a look at it, and let me know what you think. What could she have possibly said to make him look that way. I love this sculpture, and it's definately my fondest memory of that journey.

WHY, OH WHY?

Well I have joined the ranks of "that guy". I bought a Hiptop 2. I was skeptical at first. I was actually given 15 days to return it (still have about 7 days), but I'm officially hooked! Setbacks? The fact it doesn't have over the air updates like us carriers provide (well not until "June"), and I can't currently blog via the phone cause Canada is a little behind the times. Still it has proven to be a true gift of entertainment, and I'm onboard.

Here's some of the "fun" I've captured...

My sister letting me knowing, in such an oh so "loving" way, what she thinks of me...

The latest addition to my life... Waffles...

And what I now see when I recieve a phone call from this character...

I need a job, a purpose, friends, help?... just about anything at this point!... Naw, fuck it. Call me.

BE EASY

Things have a way of working themselves out, and there can always be a silver lining, just got to look for it. Sometimes, you really have to squint and strain your eyes to see it, but it should be there... somewhere. Keep looking...

I GOT A PICTURE TAKEN WITH GHOSTFACE KILLAH! Things will be alright.

YOU KNOW I COULDN'T LAST

I posted this the other night at about 6 am, when I couldn't sleep, through the Comeback Kid myspace bulletin. I figured if anyone deserved an explanation, it was those who took the time to add CBK as a friend and check the band out. Here it is, one last time. I guess I just wanted it posted here, like a painting on my wall...

"To try and squash any rumors going around I figured I'd write one last "bulletin" to give all you a heads up. First off, thank you all so much for adding us as a friend and giving our band a shot. It's so easy to get all big headed when making music, but the bottom line is, you are nothing without a listener. Thank you all for your loyal support. Never for a second did I take this for granted, and I feel like I am so lucky to have been given this opportunity and chance to travel, literally, the world.

Life is full of hard decisions, but only a few of them are as big as this and absolutely life changing. I was faced with one of these decisions. The kind of decision that keeps you up nights, tossing and turning, leaving your stomach in knots. I have decided to leave Comeback Kid. This band has been my life for the past 4 years, and I was a roadie for another band prior to that. I really don't know, or have anything else in my life. Saying I'm not "scared" about my future would be a complete lie. I just got to a point where being on the road for 10 months had become hard, and pushing to be home more became a conflicting agenda. Some would like to see this band go as far as it possibly can, and I was an anchor holding this back. I just wanted to play something honest, make some friends and see the world and I got to do that, and I am forever grateful for my experiences.

I wish the rest of the guys the best of luck in the world. Saying 'Goodbye' the other night was absolutely heartbreaking. These guys are my family, and my life is forever changed, thanks to their talent and friendship.

Thank you to everyone who came out, showed me love, and screamed back words once scribbled out in a bedroom. I am forever indebted to you.

Thank You Always.
Scott"

FROM THE GRAND CANYON TO THE ROCKIES

Well I'm finally back. I had a devastating Vegas experience, that not only included losing money, but my computer deciding to not work anymore. Somehow, the powers that be, gave my computer life once again. So here I am. I am currently in Denver, Colorado, and I'd like to proudly announce, that I am still alive! It all started when I chose to ride with Sinking Ships to the Grand Canyon on our day off, and it somehow turned into "drive from hell". The Grand Canyon was absolutely breathtaking, and well worth the adventure. After we took it all in, we had the long trip to Denver to make. It was a mess of deserted highways, to a huge snow storm in the Rockie mountains. We had to get out and push the van numerous times, only having to chase it down to hop in while it was moving. It's been an eventful 24 hours to say the least.
The sun before the cold...
Me, not liking the edge very much...
Up close...
Far away...
Sweet dudes...
Two thumbs up for the Grand Canyon...
Chris Chase is my hero...
Snow, no, snow, no...
... I think I'm sick.

WHAT KEEPS ME ALIVE?

I just feel in a really "positive" mood about hardcore right now. I love this music, and the energy it produces. It's the only stuff I can listen to and want to jump around my room and get stupid. It's funny cause I had a discussion the other day about live music in general and how checking out more mainstream bands is cool, but the energy is so tired, slow and seems so disconnected. I can't imagine ever getting tired of this, as tired as the genre can get sometimes. There is always so much focus on what's been done, and sometimes I feel there isn't enough support of what's going on right now. The past has it's importance, but it's the present that's here. It's the present, right now, that kids will look back on. I felt like listing off a few bands, but not all, that I feel are doing something interesting, new and exciting. These bands, and these records move me, and inspire me, and are some of the reasons I keep coming back. If you can, please take some time to check them out...
Killing The Dream - In Place, Apart Blacklisted - ...The Beat Goes On Modern Life Is War - Witness
