I have some pretty simple goals in life. These goals are more than goals however. Each one requires me to pursue some endless ends, until my end, my death. I hope to reach the century marker, and live until I am 100 years old. In order to do this, I am going to live a life as pure as possible. As the saying goes: my body is my kingdom, my body is my sanctuary. During my life, I want to promote life. I will not harm any living creature.

As it stands, I am happy and positive. There is too much negativity in this world. It gets to me too sometimes. Just like others I know, I have this strange sense of optimistic pessimism. I stand in awe of the beauty of this world, yet know it can seemingly turn it's back on me at any second. I don't let it get me down though. The only way to stay happy is to get happy! It's a conscious effort that everyone must under take to succeed, otherwise sorrow succeeds. It's rough, it's tough, it's life.

The people in my life are outstanding and amazing. I wouldn't trade any one of those closest to me for another. Some of these kids are really the best people I have ever met. I love them on a level higher than love can even reach. These relationships and these feelings go beyond love.
A great thanks goes to my dear friend Elliot for letting me use his pictures for all my album artwork! He is an amazing photographer and an even better friend!
A huge thanks also goes to my friend Tabi for incidentally creating my identity as The Liontist! Her reasoning which regarded me was as follows: Lion's Mane + Scientist Attire = The Liontist.
Excerpt from The Stranger by Albert Camus:
"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again. For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate."
Hey bud - I guess whether or not we sell the full length depends on how much money we have once it's finished. If we have enough to make it look nice (i.e. print it up instead of just burn it ourselves), we'll sell it, I imagine. But we've gone into projects with those intentions before but the money ran out so we didn't follow through.
We'll let ya know - thanks for the unwavering support.
Thanks, i got your email with the links, and just finished downloading them, i'm sure they're all good - i do know the feeling of putting up stuff you think is bad, though (take our first demo, HA!)
we're trying to build up our network of bands so we can work on getting shows, so if you ever need an opener, or know of anyone who needs an opener, please think of us!
Either way, thanks for the downloads and keep making great music!

We have all the info on what's been happening in our new blog. We are playing shows again so come see one and come talk to us. -and again sorry for commenting like this. thanks american art
