The 365: Day 449



Thursday, March 25, 2010 (84/449)

I downloaded a few new albums today. I love music because of the power it can have over you. I always like hearing a new song knowing what the writer felt when they wrote the lyrics.

The 365: Day 441



Wednesday, March 17, 2010 (76/441)

Why is there a dog in the bar? Is everyone too wasted to notice?





Violet Winter’s “Abuse Me” music video went live on YouTube today. It was going great until a bug in their system set the video to private. We couldn’t change it back until the following morning, costing us who knows how many hits and views. Too upset to celebrate my heritage.

The 365: Day 438



Sunday, March 14, 2010 (73/438)

My car was broken into last week. The window wasn’t broken, the door was jimmied open. The only thing that was taken was my ashtray full of change. My CDs were tossed around, but none of them were taken. I’m kind of insulted. My 600 watt Carvin bass amplifier was still in the trunk. They either didn’t look in there, or couldn’t lift it – it’s over 100 pounds.

The 365: Day 437



Saturday, March 13, 2010 (72/437)

Cheers. My hair is matted down because I was wearing a hat today. But being the good boy that I am I removed it at the restaurant.





The wasabi was green for St. Patrick’s Day. Although according to the “Hot & Spicy” episode of Modern Marvels on The History Channel most wasabi in restaurants is horseradish that is dyed green because real wasabi is rare and therefore expensive.





I find this pretty funny.

The 365: Day 436



Friday, March 12, 2010 (71/436)

Eating macaroni and cheese straight out of the pot for breakfast at 6:30 PM while still in my pajamas. Reminds me of my college days of living with Oscar above The Taco & Burrito House.





Give the bitch a nice hug, Tim. If you ask for her at the end of your semester you may find her a grave dog.

The 365: Day 435



Thursday, March 11, 2010 (70/435)

Oscar and I burned stacks of Violet Winter album samplers. It reminds me of the days from our old band. The time has finally come.

The 365: Day 434



Wednesday, March 10, 2010 (69/434)

I bowled most of this game before I remember that I am left handed when it comes to bowling. I suck. Also, Lazer Dan sucks for giving me the name “T Payne.” Ugh.





It was SO warm out. By the way, remember Goro from Mortal Kombat?

The misty night perked me up.





I like the violet bow!
