Tulsa 2010

so i got to visit Tulsa for a few weeks. i must say this was the best visit ever. i rekindled with an old flame, and surprised my best friend for his birthday. there was alot of people i got to see and alot of people i didn't get to see, nonetheless, i was constantly out and about. i didn't get to float the river, but it stormed pretty bad that day anyway. i hung out with my dad alot and helped him around the house and took him to his medical appointments. i saw the family i needed to see, and ignored the people that could care less. anyway, i'm turning a new page in my life, and i must say i've never been more excited about anything. i'm leaving the country again (for 6 months), and of course i'll try to write about it as much as possible.
so here's a few pictures from my last night in town.
i'm sure there are alot more pictures floating around just check my facebook.
oh and listen to Man Overboard.

man i miss the homies.

i'm pretty lonely these days. i mean my roommate is awesome, but i need some other friends. at the same time though, i love doing things by myself. sometimes when i'm hanging with other people i find my patience wears thin, and nothing is funny or entertaining. i'm just here. you would think that i'm a pretty sociable person.
i need more friends like matt wright who can make anything funny. anything is a joke that we'll remember forever. man. i love that guy.
and my buddy mike hulett, he laughs at all my jokes and retarded comments. wingman of the year. and he takes good pictures. he's got a girlfriend now, so we'll see if he can keep with the asian persuasion.

keith, justry, blake, james, those dudes are the homies. they'll do anything for me.

i miss everyone.

TTWC

i don't really know what to write about.
i've been in iraq since january and i finally get to head back to bragg in 5 weeks. right now, i'm listening to old Day by Day tracks and thinking about my life before i joined the Army and before i got married (and divorced). i admit, it was alot of fun, and i do miss it. i miss playing with James, Six, Jason, & Mike. we had alot of great times. it was the birth of the T-Town Wusscore Scene. a term i dubbed myself. it was us, Wreckless Process, HotRodBob, Fighting Tomorrow, Urban Tribe, Least Koalafied, Congress of A Crow, pretty much all the bands that were practicing at the Storage USA off of I-44 and 145th. we'd practice 3-4 times a week, and usually had a few shows a month at curly's(rip), the cave(rip), diamond billiards, the venue, boston's, pinkeye. those were awesome clubs back then. we did a couple of dfests, some blue whale festival in claremore, a short tour with Tailgunner and The Feds. we even did a reunion show a couple of years after we broke up for our good friend, Brittani's 21st birthday. i feel like an old fart talking about "the good ol' days", even though those years were only 4-5 years ago. after i get out of the Army, i will return to Tulsa, and hopefully will be able to get back together with James and Six and shred again. not for fame but because we'll be in our mid-30s by then and all we want to do is live out our remaining years in Tulsa playing music. in 2007, we planned on getting back together and playing a few more shows before i left for the Army, we even got new press photos taken (i added a few on my flickr). but of course internal conflicts within us halted that idea. but i guess we're all older and hopefully more mature. Six is still playing with HotRodBob and Out of Time. James is finishing up school. Aaron is playing with SpaceStation, Mike is around somewhere, and Jason just retired from playing bass for First Lady Assassins. me, Mike, and James have been playing together since 1999. that's 10 years. we have an idea of what we want to play when i get back. the roots stuff. punk rock. melodies and harmonies. off- tempo time signatures & long bridges. nothing too complicated. simple and to the point. when that does happen, you'll probably have long forgotten who we are. and that's something we are completely OK with.
