Flight of the Early Bird.

At last, my productive sleep schedule has returned.



I woke up at 6am by the sound of my agitating alarm clock and brewing coffee maker. Even though I didn't really get a proper sleep last night (I kept waking up every couple of hours) I still arose feeling strangely rested. I think because I forced myself to go to sleep with writing ideas still floating in my mind, my creativity didn't let me sleep completely - and my will power woke me up since it's been sick of starting the day… Continue

As much of a promise death is, it is always a shock to hear about it when it arrives not too far away from you.



Just last night I learned about the sudden death/accident of a girl on the local music scene that my band and I would see at certain events and local gigs. She was the singer of a metal band here in town. My band once played a show with them at one point. I talked to her here and there, she was very nice (not just saying that as a cliche to her death, she really was… Continue
