"When I come back Home to you tomorrow, I'll for sure be hungry" -James Taylor

Winter is coming...or is it here already...I'm getting into the Christmas spirit...yes I'm a Halloween fanatic, but I still love Christmas...it's like the climax of the year...it's so great whenever I go to any big store to see Christmas trees and decorations...I love the colors....listen to me, I sound like a little kid waiting for Santa Claus to drop down on  his big ass down that chimney!  HOHOHO!

I finished my new song which was partly composed in Bakersfield...I really like it and it will be part of the new compilation which is still on the works...I think I have a name for it..just don't want to give it away...YET!  I recorded the demo for it the other day and I'm still trying to come up with another one...not having 2 jobs is great...I'm just relaxing at home and enjoying my time....

I got to spend some time with my Girlfriend last night...we simply just went to Wal Mart after her class...her and her mom go all the time and she invited me along...I gave her the DUENDE (Lucio litho print) copy.  she thought it was funny.  I'll be spending Thanksgiving with her and some of her friends...

I'm currently recording a compilation of Chrismas songs for Toy R Us listening....90 minutes of Christmas Carols...HELL YEAH!!!! Everything from Dean Martin, to Nat King Cole to orchestral Christmas tunes.....

Anyway....enjoy this late Fall and don't let the Old Man Winter frost bite your ass!

Katriona is one hungry Cat!

 

Love you all...

"Love is a baby momma warned you not to shake" -Sam Beam

OLD MAN WINTER!!!

Ivanhoe Creepshow 4:  The best, most terrifying, the bloodiest, the craziest...but there's more next year!!!  I have to give my Thanks to Everyone who participated, even if some of you were only there for a day...eveything turned out great...Everybody had a good time and good laughs. 

Four days of  Halloween...can't complain, man.  This was the best Halloween ever and we accomplished what we wanted to accomplish-which was scare people, and some to the verge of tears and pissing themselves.  It was great.

THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!

It was my 7th year playing Michael Myers(The Shape) but I hope I'm getting scarier every year by different things I try-like this year I started swinging the knife around and moving in strange ways to really frighten our guests.  Like Lucio said last year, "The house shall rest for now!"  We have a few new ideas and Apeman(Adam) will help out with set up next year-hopefully.  Take a deep breath...

While we were not doing anything for the Creepshow-afterwards, TinaHatesYou, Sparklez, and I went to Brewbakers.  Sparklez treated us.  She's rich! ...or so she says!  It was a lot of fun just talking and hanging out.  That Rootbeer is great...I really liked it.  The food was great as well.  There was this little band playing, Good Medicine.  I really like their style-very bluesy and blends of folk and country.  Very nice atmosphere in there.  It was very relaxing.  Mimi's Cafe was fun too...GREAT FOOD!  Lucio thought I was making it seem like I was giving the waiter a hard time with Jack-assy questions...Sparklez showed a clip of her little sister...damn, she's seriously in for some hard times once she grows up, considering that she may very well be the reincarnation of some fucking Nazi!

Last year around this time, well a year ago today, marks my return to Calexico...anyway last year it was kinda weird to have such a feeling of change...something was going to happen..din't know what, exactly...but things got better over here, or at least in my personal life, then it went to shit...but this time around, I feel a little different, knowing that I'll be sending my cd out this week is very exciting for me and I know that I'll get a call from them soon...I can't go through the routine that I went through last year...I know everybody has a pattern they follow everyday, and we get used to it...but I have to break it at this point, because I'm looking around and I know that I gotta get going with my music plans...

As I was waiting for the bus in the Bakersfield Greyhound station, halfway through, I accidently struck the top guitar chords in such a way that outcame a song.  I know it was God's way of saying "Hang in there, kid-your time is coming"  I believe this because the song came to me so fast that it was practically just handed to me....and suddenly I knew the chords and all the right pickings to make the song sound the way it sounds now...it's called "What Time May Bring"  I think it's pretty self explanatory to what the song's about.  I'm just aching to be heard!  I've never written a song like this when it comes to the sound...this is the folkiest song I've composed...I envision it as a folk-sounding song...I have to get busy with the lyirics...those will be written possibly tonight...

Well, I haven't see my girlfriend in a bit over 2 weeks and I really miss her.  To be so close and not able to see her is making crazy...My mom and I got into a huge argument that led to her decision about me not using her car whatsoever...I gave her my two keys to the car, I'm only allowed to take it to school....ONLY!  She says that I have to figure it out on my own how I'm gonna get around. 

The irony in this is that I'm paying for 100% of the bills-including some transmission payment she owes, and I'm not allowed to use it...Bullshit!  Fair?  Therefore...I'm not going to visit my girlfriend for a good while...luckily she still comes to Calexico to the SDSU campus and I can see her..but she has so many tests this week and a hectic schedule that we'll be lucky if we see each other.  Don't worry, this won't make our relationship hard or anything like that.

On a lighter note, Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Christmas and working at Toys R Bad is cool...I love this time of the year...favorite time of the year?  I hope so....I bought A Christmas Carol-the musical with Kelsey Grammer.  It was on last year and I missed it..It pissed me off because I love that story...Christmas feelings are coming earlier, unlike last year...Jesus, nothing happened last year...this year my girlfriend and I are doing a few fun things around..it's going to be a lot of fun.....I'm hungry...damn..I gotta get something to eat before my ass deteriorates...

Anyway, I mean to keep the door of happiness open....THANK YOU ALL FOR THE BEST TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE YOU ALL.....

"It's funner to be a horror fan on Halloween than a Cristian on Christmas!" -Lucio Fulci(COS newspaper)

Horror Greetings to everyone!

UPDATE!!!!

Oright, everything is still looking great.  I told Lucio that I will find out about my next week's schedule on, at the earliest, Thursday or Wednesday.  That way Lucio will know how hard to work and leave some of that for me...I really hope Andy schedules me on Sunday morning...I'll go visit my girlfriend, DIIII on Saturday night(setting her friend up with Starvin) and Sunday night I'll be getting on that Greyhound filled with excitement.  Is everybody excited?  I hope so...everyone is in for a treat this year...and TRICKS! 

We'll wing some ideas....that don't need much thought or construction to add those extra touches or gore....

Tomorrow I will be shipping Lucio two of my masks-by UPS. Maybe 3-day shipping or something...I don't want to carry a whole load of things with me on the Greyhound so that's why I'll just ship it...that's it.

Here's the flyer so some of you can print it and give it to EVERYONE you know and even strangers...that's what me and Lucio did last year...it's fun..part of the Halloween spirit we all feel...it's REAL close!

See you all within a week!

Love you all...

NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oright, here's the deal everyone....I'm quitting Home Depot which leads me to my next decision of being over there(Ivanhoe)either 26th in the morning or 27th in the morning....Toys manager, Andy said he's willing to stretch the days off I requested weeks back....7 days the doctor said!

I'm REALLY excited to know that I won't be busting myself anymore and I'll be enjoying these days a lot more, especially with my lovely girlfriend, DIIIIIII!   It's something that I'd had on my mind since the beginning of the week, the whole quitting one job deal....I'll be getting a bunch at Toys anyway-being seasonal and all....

Anyway, back to Halloween...I'll be over there earlier than imagined...ahhhhhh that  gives us more time.....as Lucio and The becky are in school, I'll be back home doing things....whoever wants to come along and help me....tell me.....I'm so happy.....such a relief...trust me!!!!
