No rock n roll is so boring lor. Ya lame-o but it really is. Sat hopefully can really get to jam. Hope this line up will really rock cos I'm sick and tired of uninterested and passionless people and starting over and over and over again. I just wanna start, not stop and keep going. I miss rocking it out on stage, trying to figure out what's that note that makes everything sound right, bugging people to come to my gigs and sub-conciously flirting away with everyone to get their contacts in my pathetic attempt to get more people who never heard of local music before to check it out and give us a chance (or actually check US out :P), begging and slutting the band to everyone I know and pimping it to organizers to score gigs, having an album that I can safely sell or give away proudly and know we're still around and not hiatus-ing, knowing we always have a gig on standby to tell anyone who asks or anyone I talk to, or rather who would listen to me rant, to come check us out at so and so and then mass SMSing to everyone in my phonebook to come check us out (again) and thus overloading my free SMS and having to pay $100+ for my phonebill for JUST SMSes, lugging loads of stuff to gigs to archive the performance on audio and video and trying to gather emails for a mailing list that was never used. Sigh. Disheartened is the word.
Guess I'll put playing guitars aside for now and stick to rocking it out with my bass. My lovely sweet bass. Oh it's been ages since I've last caressed you. Since I last banged you. Literally. I think the last time was Stasis 8. Or was it the DXO gig? Hmmm...Back on track, guess guitars will have to wait till I can find something that fits. I'm actually seriously considering dumping all my guitar stuff and just stick to bass but...guitars are fun too. Not that I'm any good at it, or the bass for that matters, but it's so fun to mess around with funny chords and funky effects. So fun to lug around heavy cases of pedals and spend ages setting it up for a jam let alone gig. Unlike bass where you just plug and wait by the side while everyone takes forever to set-up. Miss is another word.
I shall be called Miss Disheartened.

I'm dreaming of another band. And another. And another. And another. There's no end. And since most everyone isn't enthusiastic enough to feed my drive for performing live, I have to create as many opportunities as I can. I just want to play. Luckily I don't play drums. Unluckily I don't sing.
Anyway...stolen..
Anyway...stolen..
--- ADVERTISTMENT ---
A new "just-for-fun" side project band is forming in the horizon and we still need some HR work. Female drummer found. Female guitarist found. Male bassist found. Searching for male vocalist. We are balancing the forces so we don't look like a half-baked all-girl band or something. Think Von Bondies or Kaito. So any boys out there who would love to sing for a no-frills-straight-up-we-will-rock-you band? I suggested rock singing, but male bassist said "anyhow singing" suits better.

Friday The 13th. Not such a great day after all. Paul of Garage Studio and the drummer of Sleeve fame passed away. Cause of death still unknown but he was found dead at Garage itself. It was said that he died in his sleep. I frequent Garage Studios a lot. Mainly 'cos I finish late from work most of the time and it's one of the coolest and cheapest and most convenient place for a midnight jam.I went for his wake and his funeral. The mood was so sombre at his wake. Those who came just sat around. No one talked. It was so quiet. His funeral was sad too. Heard he was the only son. His parents were really strong. 'Cept his grandma who was crying for him at his funeral. When his body was cremated, we all tried to be as strong as we could. But as his coffin slowly entered into the crematorium, his dad waved goodbye to him. It was too much to handle and I just had to cry for him. It was a very sad moment. He shall be missed dearly.
Paul was a great guy. Always friendly. Very polite. Super humble. He was a great drummer too. Just looking at the way he played and you could tell. His strokes. The way he played. The way he controlled his sticks. The way he played with dynamics. It was mesmorizing watching him play. I only really saw him play for the first time at Stasis 8 and I couldn't keep my eyes off him. That Sunday we had a brief chat. Thursday I just messaged him to book a studio for Sunday. Friday he passed away.
We're trying to organize a gig in memory of him. Do come to lend your support even if you do not know him well.
Here's to Paul.

THIS is Johnny Zero
http://www.thrillingdetective.com/eyes/johnny_zero.html
I like. Very Guy Ritchie. Very Snatch. Very cool. Like. Like. Like. Thursday late nights or rather Friday very early morning. Watch. Don't sleep. Before that there's a series of cartoons. Can't remember the names. The Amercian Guy I think and something else. What's it Bid? Catnip. hahahahaha...
I guess the series didn't really survive but I liked the pilot. What a waste.
Egon's sleeping on my lap again. Only he sleeps on me. Even when I'm sleeping. On my chest. On my side. Slut! Mojo just disappears. Cool thing is they're my wake up call. Every morning around 7am without fail they'll fight (playfully) on my bed and start nibbling on my leg and toes. Grrr.....! Why can't they fight somewhere else. By the time I throw them out of my room I'm up already. Which usually is TOO DARN EARLY!!!

Ahhh...Friday the 13th. I love Friday the 13th. It's just so...special.
Egon and Mojo are so funny. Whenever I'm in the toilet, theycomewhinning at the door for me. Trying to get under the door. And ifI'mtaking too long, they'll go to the shower cubicle and wait for meinthe corner. Hello! I'm taking a dump here!
Mojo's actingthequeen now. Only looking for affection when Egon's not around.WhenEgon's around, she's all like, "Hey! I'm cool. I don't need anyofthose childish, immature things." But when Egon is sleeping or notinthe vicinity, she's all, "Suckle! Cuddle! Me! Me! Me!" Egon ontheother hand is just a slut. Always wanting attention. Always wantingtolie on your lap. Always eating. Sounds familiar. hahahaha!
Gottafinda way to keep Mojo off the table. She's all queen like andalwayswanting to perch on higher ground. Always trying daring stuntswhichEgon would then follow. Like balancing on the kitchen chair'sback-restover looking out into the street and trying to climb out ofthe windowfrom the ground. Bad influence!
Gotta raise money tobring themto the vet. It's way past their checkup/vaccination date butI'm sosuper broke. Just paid $441 for my starhub phone bill and I stilloweM1 close to $200. ARGH! I'll never get my bike at this rate. I soneedit. Transport is killing me especially since I'm travelling quitealot. I so need a better paying job with better hours. I can'tsurviveon my current salary and there's so much more I wanna and cando. I'mso definitely worth more than what I'm getting paid. Guess I'llhave togrit my teeth and just wing it. In the meantime try to do moreandsleep less. Anyway i've been sleeping past 3am almost everydayforquite some time already.
