I just want to thank my wonderful amazing friends for these gifts for my son.
I love you guys. You have no idea.
Being a musician dad has been the most difficult thing in my life and my journey is really only beginning. I wouldn’t have this any other way. Recording a full length record, not for myself but for my son who will someday listen to the music I’ve made.
My son is already starting to coo and talk….He is only 8 days old.
HOLY SHIT WHEN YOU HOLD DOWN ALT AND CLICK REBLOG
HOLY SHIT„„„„
option on mac. I mean, it’s not like, mindboggling but it’s pretty cool.
The update
Well it’s been a while since I bequeathed my doings and thoughts on tumblr but I figure it’s about that time.
First off I want to say that my absence from the internet has been very enlightening. I have learned from the lack of technology, and it is turning me human again ha.
I stood very still for a while contemplating things, many things. I do believe for the first time in my life I’ve finally caught up with who I really am as a person.
With much anxiety and anticipation, I have yet to tell the majority of an oncoming event that will change the face of my life. These tidbits will still be privy only to those closest until the time is right. Just know “It’s a humdinger!” as my grandad would often say.
I would also like to give thanks to a lot of nouns, verbs, adjectives and pronouns:
My cat Gilgamesh (you are so weird, and I love it)
My brother Quan (we have never had the greatest bond as we got older but how ironic we are twins with that respect. I miss you terribly and would hope our relationship as brothers outweigh everything we become enveloped with. You are such a talented person and I only wish you all the best with every endeavor you undertake. You followed your dreams and your heart, You showed me how to do the same. Thank you for that.)
My family
My support team and best friends: ( I would be dead or lost without the 7 of you, I love you guys/ gals)
Randel Johnston: (thank you for criticizing me and making me realize how stupid I was when I thought different. I still remember everything about our years as children. Like the time I got that plastic key stuck in your mom’s van door, or the time we had that sleepover and played turok and conkers till the sun came up. You’ve been with me for over 20 years and I’ve never had a friend with the longevity that we have. I hope that when we are old and gray we can sit down and talk as the elders do. You were my first real friend and no distance or history will ever change how much you changed me as a person.
Evan Williams: (even though we see each other less and less because of our skills and careers, I know our paths were always intertwined. You were always the most honest person I ever met and I couldn’t have gotten through middle school without knowing you. You are a milestone to who I am today.
Alex Miracle: (Everything I have to say about that ideals and the drive and the will and the passion are derived from everything I’ve gone through with you. Man what stories will we have to tell our children. We have given so much to the passions of our life and it is truly only the beginning. You will always be the strongest person I know and imparting your strength to me was the greatest gift you could’ve ever given me.
Natalie Miles: (Our friendship always reminded me of the lion and the mouse fable. I always had some proverbial thorn in my paw and you always knew how to pluck it out, and vice versa. I couldn’t imagine what my life would’ve been like had we never met. I saw you become a woman and I am so proud of you. You taught me so much about the freedom to express myself and be vulnerable. That kind of love is special and I will pass that along to my future generations.
Baanu Ferdowsi: (My My My haha, What could be said about the most interesting person I’ve ever met other than you are and will always be amazing in every facet of the word. Boo Boo you are the great equalizer. I learned many a thing from you but the one thing that stuck out was loyalty. You are the most loyal person I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. You tolerate so much and understand that toleration is apart of true justice. I wish I had more adjectives to tell the world of your exploits and mindset. You were a wonderful lover and one of the greatest companions and man could have wanted.
Kerry Cooper: (My awful brother, my companion in the school of hard knocks, my hutch, r2-d2, hardy, donkey kong and daffy; There is so much to say about your unyielding spirit and your ability to thrive. I learned how to survive from you. How to take on an unforgiving world. You taught me more than a father could have taught his son about the ire’s of life and the people in it. You taught me how to swim in a sea of sharks. I will never forget what bonded kinship came from our meeting. We are brothers in arms and when the time comes for me to go back to the sea I will think of you. “God speed little doddle”.
Megan Callaham: (Sweet, sweet child of the light and lover of the gift of life and fun and pleasure. You were the most fragile woman I’d ever met but only matched by the most benevolent and loving spirit. You give the kind of compassion and sincerity that only a mother could give and you taught me how to love with your heart truly and honestly. You told me once that our paths will always be crossed and that you will never leave my side. You are the kindest, and most loving woman and I will always be there for you no matter what.
I would also like the thank:
Michelle Sacco and Arbor Barrow: (you two are so incredibly positive and real. Thank you for tolerating my ever changing nature.)
Danny and Megan and Judah Corona: (It’s often difficult for me to always get in touch with you guys because of what life has had to have me deal with but no words could ever explain to you how greatful I am for every word of advice, every piece of food, hug, dollar, bed, laugh, tear, shout, or anything else I can’t think of.
You two are only rivaled by the enormous amount of love you have for everyone and everything especially your son. I hope that our travles and journeys continue to be within each other’s reach. I love you guys.
Willy G: (No homo, Studio time, Believing in me, Food, Rides, Your wit, and just being a good friend no matter how dumb I thought you acted.)
Skyrim
Lucky Charms
Pizza
Dr. who
All the books I have read that give me a sense of culture, self, understanding, wit, tact, brevity, and just general logic and reason.
Music
Both of my bands Cove and Courtesy Drop. And the fact that I was given some of the most insane and amazing opportunities to play music with the best individuals life could have offered me.
There are so many other things I want to thank, discuss, and just ramble on about but for right now I will leave it all at that.
I do not fear the future.
My path has been set and I am greatful for the life I have been granted. Death may come at any moment so I live with every intention of making my life mean something to me.
All the people I have met. All the places I have seen. And it is truly only the beginning.
I await the future with child-like enthusiasm.

so apparently as an April Fool’s joke
Cartoon Network aired Toonami all night and didnt tell anyone
really funny CNI didn’t watch it but I knew it was on. If I did watch it all I woulda been up super late. I did enjoy watching every promo aired between shows on Youtube. Bringing back Toonami would be a great idea.
I turned on a second of Tenchi Muyo and I just couldn’t. Get WAY too emotional over toonami. I regret not watching last night but yeah..
GODDAMMIT!

I start each new day…
by resolving that whomever I meet even if they are busybodies, pompous idiots, liars, or antisocial ingrates, that I will not be hurt or angered by them, but cooperate as best I can if it’s for the common weal. To obstruct one another is against our natural instinct for “goodwill”.
“I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice… A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war, ‘This way of settling differences is not just.’ This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation’s homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love…”
“Things I plan telling my future children…”
Never stray too far from the face of reality. When the world takes a shot at least you will see it coming.
