At a stand still 11 Nov 2011, 3:32 am
you ever feel like your at a stand still. like your coasting and nothing really changes for better or worse. I actually hate that feeling more than i do when things are going really wrong. only because you know things can only get better…right? sometimes i like to put myself in a worse situation just to see if you can get out of it. how do you know what your character can handle or even what you want to handle?! Its like in fight club when they give the group orders to start a fight and they have to lose. you have to get beat up. Only then do you know what it feels like and only then will you know how to handle it. Its actually quite liberating…to some i guess. I feel like its time to start a fight…anyone interested
Schmoes Know podcast 24 Oct 2011, 3:11 am
this weekend i had the pleasure of appearing on the ‘Schmoes Know’ podcast. in case you live under a rock or you’re just the other 99 percent of the world out there that doesnt know about these guys, they are a couple of witty, passionate, blue collar guys reviewing movies for people like you and me. This past saturday they were discussing sound tracks and scores in which they asked me, being a musician, to come sit in. It was a bit of a trip down memory lane (half baked) for me looking back at all the movies that i adore. The reason i even wanted to start making music in the first place was because of the feeling it gave me when watching a movie and hearing that beat just kick in. Or that voice just be the nail in the coffin. How it added so much…the first question i was asked was by one of the Schmoes mr kristian harloff was ‘what is my favorite sound track or the one that i usually think of first?’ Without a blink of an eye the answer is and will always be ‘stand by me’. My father being an oldies guy making me listen to it while mowing the lawn when i was 10. It was the first rated ‘R’ movie my parents let me see too. Crazy cause the only thing about it that made it rated ‘R’ was the (spoiler alert) dead body. Mark Ellis, the other Schmoe, was throwing out one liners like umbrellas in manhatten on a rainy day. just an FYI…Either way they were kind enough to let Rob, my drummer, and myself play ‘Up to Something’ acoustic which was a hoot. It was a group sing along by the end. Oh and lets not forget Catherine Reitman joining in on the podcast as well. If it wasnt for her i would have felt like the third guy on the step in a suana. She fit right into their little world.
It airs next saturday 10.29.11 so stay tuned for the link

the benjamin franklin effect 12 Oct 2011, 3:22 am
you become that of which you perceive yourself to be…thats what i got out of it. All because Ben asked for a book from a library owned by a man that hated B Franklin. Well i cant attest that he hated him, but he did write non flattering material toward big ben so mr franklin asked to borrow a very unpopular and obscure book. He returned it the next day with a note that said…’thanks’.

lights off 2 Aug 2011, 2:34 am
Its slow…like a snails pace. I wake every up in the morning with my eyes still glazed over as if it were still a dream. after my first cup of coffee it doesnt change. my second cup, then third and on and on. I move through the day as if im not me. as if im seeing this life through someone else. is that strange. is that normal. whether it is or it isnt normal to everyone else, its normal to me. like im floating through day to day activities and someone else is driving the train. makes me wonder if there are rules and those rules really do make you alive. rule number one…never talk about rule number one. do i expect more out of myself…yes. am i getting it no. do i have discipline…yes. am i using all of it no. do i use excuses…yes. do i submit to all of them no. does that frustrate me…yes. can i do something about it…….
Up to something…coming soon 7 Jul 2011, 2:00 am
its not that easy to go unnoticed if the other guy is a suspicious person. I think that everyone is up to something. which by the way they are. My friend Tom who originally came up with the saying thinks that only certain people are up to something but ill let him explain that one. Me…i just wanted to write a song about it. I wanted to shoot a video with my friends in it. I wanted it to be catchy and cool with a little bit of edge. I wanted it to be about a bunch of shady guys who legitimately look like they are up to something…which by the way they are. I, Shotgun honeymoon, vow to create this. I want to create art and put my music to it. thats what ive always wanted. So instead of pitching to them im going to create it myself. Let the internet decide…
