Tales From A Small Business Owner
I have to rant here for just a second…
Owning a small business is no easy feat. A lot of people never fully understand what it takes to own a small business. What goes into it. All the “behind the scenes” stuff. No one ever takes that stuff into account. They take everything at face value.
Maybe it’s just the town my business is in (or maybe its not?), but I see time and...

Would you like a side of stress with that stress?
This is kinda personal, but whatever.
Life has never been so stressful for me. The past couple years have just been a mind fuck, if you will.
I think the only good thing going for me is my wonderful girlfriend.
Everything else is a giant bowl of stress.
Everything involving my business, moving, my health, my lack of a fucking life….just everything.
I really wish things were easier. I...
Fresh Start
Well, it looks like we’re moving….again.
So, working on new material for the 3rd album is yet again on hold for at least a month.
This isn’t really a bad thing. The place we looked at and are possibly going to take is pretty nice and has a private 4 acre off-leash dog park, so thats always great for our dog.
Thats all i really have for you all.
Till next time, kids!

1 step forward
Its been a while since i last posted on here. Been really busy with my business and just dealing with stuff revolving around it.
I recently purchased a used Native Instruments Maschine. Wow. This thing is awesome!! I’ve been wanting one for a long time, but it was a matter of $ and time.
I havent been able to set it up and play in my studio yet, but so far, just fucking around with it in...

My First DJ Set
So last night I had my first chance to Dj and man was that fun! I got to play whatever the fuck I wanted and the people that were here loved it! Got a few compliments, so that’s always nice! Here’s a breakdown of what I played:
16volt-Cables and Wires
Hocico-Love Posing as a Prostitute
Acumen-You Deal With This
Psyclon 9-As You Sleep
Rotersand-Exterminate, anihilate, Destroy...

Testing Apps
It’s been awhile since I’ve last updated. Owning a business consumes your time…sometimes your soul. In my case, both.
The minimal time I have found here and there, I was able to give Pro Tools 9 a shot. I figured that with all the “professionals” out there using it, I said fuck it and gave it a run for it’s money.
Well, to sum things up, it’s no longer...

FT13 Album Update #9
Ok, so after a brief freak out of “damnit! i gotta pay over $200 to fix my Macbook Pro!” when somehow i magically fixed it by updating some stuff, we’re back on track again.
I have been *slightly* distracted by Dead Island on the PS3 currently, but i dont play too much of it. Maybe 2 hours at a time? Also distracted with the children (cats, dog, bunny) as my love is away in...

FT13 Album Update #8
I have decided that upon completion of the 3rd album, i will re-do my website and put everything up for free and do the whole “pay for what you think its worth” thing.
I will probably press up 100 copies of the album, just in case people want “hard copies”, but i wont be doing 1000 copies ever again.
So, this could be a good thing, espeically for all the fans out there...
FT13 Album Update #7
The album is currently on hold, unfortunately.
The business I run with my love is struggling severely and there might be drastic consequences.
I honestly dont have the time to sit down and write at this current juncture.
Stress levels have never been higher and depression has never been this low.
Until the ocean can come to a nice calm, glassy state instead of tidal waves, nothing will get...
FT13 Album Update #6
Been in the studio for 5 hours now bouncing between 2 different songs. Wether or not they will end up on the album remains to be seen.
I don’t think they’re fucked up and disturbing enough yet. Not enough anger. Not enough hate.
Back to it….

FT13 album update #5
Trying to separate my business and my work on the album is extremely difficult. I’m in the perfect place, mentally, to write, but finding the time is a whole other ordeal.
On a side note, I’m thinking of doing the 4th album completely on an iPad. I want to see if it can actually happen.

3rd album update #4
I’ve decided to do a very limited short run of the 3rd album. I had WAY too many pressed up last time around. I guess I got overzealous.
So, when this bad boy comes out next year, get it while you can!
3rd album update #3
Staying ahead of the game, I’ve been in talks with 2 individuals for the mastering of the album. One being Da5id Din of Din_Fiv fame. He did the last album and I thought he did a great job. The other is Blackheart Studios. I won’t say yet whom that is, but as usual, stay tuned as I try to keep everyone up to date.

3rd Album Update #2
Work began on an untitled song a few weeks ago, but got alot more attention last night. Im not sure how i feel about it yet, as its still “new”. It needs to be arranged differently i think. Its obviously no where near completion, but work is being done.
Id also like to say that, without shame, i am dissecting the new Dismantled album to death. Everything about that album is under the...
3rd Album Update #1
I’m pretty sure i’ve nailed down the album title.
Going to work with my previous artist from the 2nd album for album artwork and possibly another one. He’s pretty awesome. His name is Sam. ‘Nuff said.
I’m really hoping the album comes out the way i envision it. It will be very dark and evil. I have alot of anger and hate to get out of me. Its been sleeping like a...
I finished 2 more pieces of my 8-bit art earlier tonight. They turned out good!
I still need a lot more pieces to finish before my showing in September, but I’m good on time. Should be a good month and I expect to have good feedback!
Now to sleep…

First, last and always
My first posting here. This will be my outlet to speak about my music (FT13), my artwork (currently 8-bit art), movie scripts I write (currently a children’s movie which would be perfect ala Pixar and a post-apocalyptic one that would NOT be good for Pixar) and anything else I consume my whole self with.
Expect updates about the status of all of these projects on a weekly base. For now, I...
