Getting back into it

After a short sabbatical I have decided to get back into creating music. Some of you may know... I quit Jungletown in December. I decided to part ways cause I wasn't having fun anymore with the project. It wasn't anything anyone did, just was what it was. Time to move on.
I have been playing around with cross genre endeavors lately, (from electronic to metal) it's been fun. Limited to using a ipad with GarageBand, and a midi program called iRig. But it's good enough until I can upgrade my sitch.
Over the Christmas break I collaborated with Casey Ladoski on a electronic project called Weldon. a song called "why don't you go fuck yourself" came out of the idea pile. It will be posted to soundcloud as soon as its it out of post-production.

Fear... And the effects on humans

I understand the whole urgency to curb pollution cause when you disrupt a balance it's never good. Is our world warming... Maybe, but that being said. Why does no one do anything about the polluting corporations out there. Burning dinosaur bones only makes up 25% of the carbon emissions... What about the other 75%.

Roads and some of the people whom drive on them

So yesterday I witnessed two interesting altercations. I wouldn't really call them altercations, but I going to cause I don't have a world for it.
So I'm travelling down number 3 road in Richmond. I am at the intersection of 3rd aad Bridgeport. There's three lanes, two turn left and one goes straight. I'm in the middle lane, turning into the middle lane on Bridgeport. Another fellow motorist is travelling I be left lane turning into what I would presume the left lane.
Nope, the fellow motorist decides to turn into he middle lane, the very same lane I am turning into. In the middle of the intersection said motorist turned into the middle lane. Realizing he going to hit me, he slams on the brakes, gives me his best handicapped face and lays on the horn. Realizing he's in the wrong he speeds up and stays in his lane ( the one he was suppose to turn into). No "sorry wave" or anything. Thanks motorist.

Second, driving eastbound on Arthur Laing bridge after work, car tries to turn left at intersection with a blatant sign hung from the lamp post that says... No left turn. It's cause it's a one way street. I'd imagine its the only reason why you can't turn left there...

New era?

Ok, so on January 2nd, 2012 I went to the Scandinavian community center. At the center I wrote a government exam for Autoglass Technician. Well I passed, so now I'm a ticketed autoglass technician journeyman. I suppose I can't say how I really feel. Don't get me wrong, I am pretty happy that I passed an exam and added certified auto glass technician journeyman to the small pile of certificates I have... Who am I kidding, the other is a web publishing certificate. So I have two.
I do have a sense of accomplishment so that's a good thing right?
I guess I should quit my first world bitching, 6 years ago I has none of this, bit I have lots more... My future wife has almost finished school, we will be reunited soon enough, and on the way to winning jones in the fast lane. ( good jobs, marriage, house etc...)
