I picked up a new acoustic guitar last week from my friends at Gibson (Epiphone)… I was photographed playing the guitar at a gig later in the week, and the kind people there were nice enough to feature me on their website!

Is out today… and i’m NOT playing it.

My god damn PS3 is fucked. seriously.. i dont know what the hell is going on, but its giving me some stupid error code, the game wont even load on the machine.

I pre ordered the game 2 weeks ago, I was patient, I waited all day long to get home to play it.. I get home, put the game in, start loading it… and the PS3 crashes..

BULL SHIT.

Now I might have to send my PS3 back to Sony to get a replacement… Better yet, if I cant find the reciept, I’ll have to pay $150!!!!!!!!

GAHHHHHH!!!

Wow, i’m gonna be friggen 25 in 2 days… Its not really freaking me out so much as i’m suprised as to how it has snuck up on me…. It feels like last year I had just finished college, and started working..

Definitely the band has kept me focused, which has probably helped to keep my eye on the “time”.

Either way, i’m really excited for the weekend, I’m having a party at my house on Saturday night, i’ve got a bunch of people coming over for some drinks, as well as my housemates are having a bunch of their friends over… Its kind of going to be a “Start of summer/My B day” party.

Excitement!

Since December, when I had to sell my little practice Fender Champ guitar amp before leaving for Vancouver to record our album, I have been without a practice guitar amp at home, which has made me very sad…

I finally found a great deal on Craigslist in this little Fender Pro Jr Blonde model… If you know anything about these amps, you know that they’re pretty wicked little bang for your buck amps.. This one came with a Jensen speaker, but stock tubes (I think i’m gonna upgrade them)..

Anyway, heres a photo!

I had pretty much the best weekend i’ve had in a LONNNG time this past weekend… Thanks to Ashley who came to visit me from Windsor, we hung out, had food and drinks at some of my favorite places, and also, this weekend was such an amazing weekend for weather. T-shirt weather has definately been a long time coming, and now its here, and I couldn’t be more extatic.

I’m really digging the thought of the 9-5, Mon-Fri work week, I never really got it until now, as i’ve been working as a freelance designer for so long, and my schedule has always been “work whenever you can” kind of thing. I’ve been settling into this regular work day/week, and completely shutting my brain off from work while i’m away, which has been doing wonders for me.. I feel less stressed, and another thing, i’ve started to loose the feeling of always being on call for work.

Other good news, I launched my first project at the new job last week. Its called “The Boomer File”. Its a video blog for baby boomers. You can find the site at http://www.boomerfile.tv. Please check it out, bookmark it, put it in your feed reader, and comment on an entry.
