Good Morning yaal! It's a rare at-home post from yours truly. Usually I don't do this because it is just a source of frustration for me. My computer freezes a lot, which makes me have to start all over unless I save it before a freeze. Just gonna keep on truckin...
I've got a nice full day ahead of me. Gonna clean up my room a bit then head off to rehearsal from 12-4. Then it is off to a cast party in San Martin until god only knows when. Our dance captian Debbie is throwing this little suaree, so big up to her! I wouldn't have the guts to host 30 musical theatre crazies in my house! It has been a blast working with these people, and I am looking forward to two more months with them. It will be a bittersweet day when this production is over.
It was a fairly busy week here in Farmer-land. Lots of studying and tests to do at school. But thankfully, it is now the weekend. I have the party tonite, and I may be hitting up the SJSU Homecoming game versus SMU as well. We will just have to see. Sunday will be my HW day, so all those with any plans of taking time from me then, please do! I can educate myself in other ways.
Well ladies and gentlemen, I am off to begin my day. Have a good one. Drop me a line sometime. Ohh and wish me luck, I have to wage battle with the leprechauns that live in my hamper this morning. I may not come back alive... Ohh, random tangent. I restrung and cleaned up my 12-string guitar yesterday. She sounds so awesome. I love this axe... Peace...

Without Further Ado...
Well howdy everyone. Haven't updated in a few days, missed me? I sure hope so... But now it is back to the old grind of school after a rather nice weekend. It was a very balanced weekend. Went and saw Anna in her production of Bye Bye Birdie over at SCP with Derrick and Tony (who plays Barnaby in Hello Dolly. Anna plays Irene Malloy in our production. By the way, she did a great job.) A great time was had by all. Saturday was a very long day of rehearsal, followed by dinner with the family and an early sack time for yours truly. Very much needed I must say. As for Sunday, after a day of homework and getting assorted chores done, I indulged in a little bit of local punk at The Outhouse in Los Gatos. It was a truly awesome show.
5606 opened up fairly strong, even though I am not the biggest fan of pop-punk. Then came Solemite; really good. I then took a break and headed out to grab some fresh air and sit out the next band, Moonlife. They had this sort of Depeche Mode sound to them... so I wasn't really diggin it. I was talkin to a few fellow musicians, including Scott formerly of several local bands, Morgan formerly of Mishap and Mike from ShitOuttaLuck. It was a sort of punk/ska United Nations in a way. Sorta surreal. Best part is that Morgan, Scott and myself may be starting up a little project. Perhaps a resurrection of One Year Stand? We will just have to wait and see. With Suburban Legends hitting the stage next, we decided to head on in. I must say, they rocked so hard. I was floored. And I haven't been truly floored since I saw Less Than Jake for the first time waaaay back in the day. With one of the strongest and nuttiest horn sections I have ever seen, they stole the show from headliners MU330. But good ol' MU didn't let us down. They threw down and knocked us on our asses. I was in skankin heaven. All in all a great night indeed.
Well, it is about that time folks. Time to write the CAST OF CHARACTERS for the fall. Lights please? Thank you...
The WVLO Crew:
Derrick "Mr. Bloom" Diazoni: With a crazy penchant for Orlando Bloom and all things Lord of the Rings, Derrick brings a smile and a nutty sort of energy to the rehearsal hall.
Tony "Dancin Foo" Feenan: Competing against this guy for the role of Barnaby was a futile fight. He owns that role. Not to mention this guy is a post-rehearsal Taco Bravo fiend. Good food, but I swear you lose 12 minute of your life for every burrito you eat from there.
Anna "You call me a freak?" Traina: Total nutcase. Thats all there is to it. Well that and she is a ton of fun. She breaks the monotony of rehearsals with her random spaz attacks, not to mention her show stopping voice.
Shawna "Groovin Picasso" Downs: Adding to the local nuttery, Shawna plays Minnie Fay all too well. She can always be counted on for random bursts of dance during a boring moment at the rehearsal hall along with her cartoon rederings of the cast members.
Caitlin "Ceara" Baiko: Still the good old buddy and confidant, Ceara makes her bi-monthly showing at the nail salon by my house so we can talk and catch up since talking any other time is utterly impossible due to life as it is. A voice of reason and advice amongst chaos.
Kendra "You're not drunk!" Cohn: The rodeo gal pal has returned to the scene, somewhat. Its just a matter of my getting my butt down there to SLO or her coming home. An unparalelled drinking buddy and ear to vent on.
Not Lenny Crew: Still around. Yep. Nick, Matt, Frankie, Dave and Matt D and myself are still truckin along on the album. Fun stuff. We hope to get our asses out to play some shows soon.
SJSU and around-town/misc. Crew: Esker from Kappa sig, Lizzie, Susan, Amy and the other schoolies are all still around making my everyday walks to class, and sometimes my text messaging activities in class, more interesting. Also still making their marks are Emily from UCSC (still the very welcome voice of dissention amongst "order" and co-punkska-conspirator), Julia from LA who had better come see my play, and Melanie who is in the UK until December, and of course Kat from NY who has been rendered insance due to work and lack of leaving the penninsula of Booth Bay. God help her. Add to that the SDSU freaks and the CSUN nuts lead by Zac in all this goofy glory, and we have a fun packed semester ahead.
Well, that about does it for now. More to be added on later once I have something wise-ass to say about them. If you arent on there, dont cry, I just dont have something clever about you yet. Lemme know and I will think of something! Other than all that, I am off to get few odds and ends done around here. I hope all is well in your worlds. And hey, dont be a stranger, mail me. Im not bothering with linking shit here... Peace...

Kiss Me, I'm Irish
I would just like to say that I am one lucky son-of-a-bitch. This morning on KSJO, I won two tickets to Godsmack at the Warfield. They were playing this game called Liars Club where they set up a scenario and you have to off the cuff lie like you fit into it. I had to lie like I was a porn star. They asked me things like "Does your female partner have good hygene?" and "What is the name of the film?" Well... yours truly must be a pretty good liar, because I was the best out of the four contestants and I won myself the tickets! Sweet... Only problem is I cant go. Ohh well. Lucky me huh.... Its all good, chock it up to the good karma kickin in a little something for yours truly.
I am so tired. Like seriously exhausted. I have been burning the candle at both ends as of late with rehearsals and school. Lack of sleep, but an elevated social life have taken a toll on me. Its fun, but seriously draining. Now I know why rock stars are drug addicts. Speaking of rockin...
Not Lenny may be returning to studio as soon as sunday. Yay... more stress. Its fun though, and working with Dave and Nick and the other assorted characters that come meandering through the studio is always a blast. Well I am off to my last class of the day. Boring as hell, shoot me now.... Peace...
