"Art is a cry of distress from those who live out within themselves the destiny of humanity, who are not content with it but measure themselves against it, who do not obtusely serve the engine to which the label "unseen forces" is applied, but throw themselves into the moving gears to understand how it works. They are those who do not turn their eyes away to protect themselves from the emotions but open them wide to oppose what must be attacked. They do, however, often close their eyes to perceive what the senses do not convey, to look inside of what seems to be happening on the surface. Inside them turns the movement of the world; only an echo of it leaks out--the work of art." Arnold Schoenberg From "Aphorismen" in Die Musik
I'm the drummer for The Blackjacks, No Second Troy, Welbilt, and a few other projects.

"Watch closely for a cameo of Smirnoff in a speedo" dude I was all happy and excited for you guys, then read that sentence and realized I need to stay calm with all the excitement. ahem.
Hey dude. We're okay out here. We went from 12 months to 7 to 12 now we're sitting at what looks like a 16 month deployment. Money's good. People're okay (the enlisted Marines are fuckin awesome but I obviously can't get too familiar with 'em). Job's safe and rewarding.
Someone mailed me a copy of Midnight on the Floor! I never would have expected it from them and it totally made my day. I'm sure it sounds better live than the album, but I'd wager it's all from the drumming. How're you man?
Hey! Good to hear from you. I've been great recently...just turned in my senior thesis (Princeton makes us write these 100-page papers in order to graduate), so I've been doing nothing but enjoying myself these past few weeks. How are you? Coincidentally, a friend of mine who used to be in Quad brought up Welbilt today! :o)
