"Be honest. We all have our dreams and our fears and our questions. The tendency is to keep these things quiet because we don't know what to do with them, or because we're worried that other people will call us crazy. I say it matters. I say you might just find your greatest gifts in those scary places. I say it's worth wrestling with because the world needs more people who have something to say, people who are interested in fixing things, people who are willing to dream... So be honest. It's scary, but it's good."
- Jamie Tworkowski.

Z E B R A M E R I C A. i should probably start using myspace again? Posted at 7:02 AM Nov 9 view more
"We all have our scars, a story whether we care to admit or not."
"I feel lost sometimes, as if the world is going on around me
and im watching it from afar. I want to go back and push pause
on the videotape of my life at age 12. when the most we had to
worry about was what time mom would call us in, and
NOT money, fame, power, greed, sex, politics, or religion.
life was carefree. a cardboard box could be a plane, boat, or spaceship.
now a cardboard box is used as something to pack past memories
in or just another convenient trash receptacle."
i have a huge heart. i support too many causes. i am inked & pierced. i've had my fair share of chaos and i'm okay with being completely flawed. i honestly believe that everyone has a story whether we care to admit or not. i have one too many passions. i kinda fancy being young, naive & reckless. i am a huge anglophile. i like gingers. concerts will forever give me that same sort of epinephrine i continue to love and embrace. my friends are the coo'est & i'm always looking forward to making new ones. i forgive far too easily and care about things beyond my control. no one will ever know just how much india, paris & kenya means to me. i FUCKING LOVE dance parties. i love spontaneity. i am full of ideas and i'm always up for an adventure. everything & everyone inspires me. i am easily humored. inside jokes make my life. i love that feeling of being alive. i am nothing special, just as human as you & everybody else. high five if you read this whole thing. :)
p.s i'm tired of people's ignorance & judgment. honestly speaking, i think anything can be considered "good music" as long as someone likes it, as long as it means something to you. we all have different tastes, people need to get over themselves and stop acting superior over what band is better or what sucks.& yes it is possible to like all kinds of music genres. hey, i like the jonas brothers AND i listen to screamo music. and perhaps you may not fancy the bands i like but who's to say the bands you fancy are better? i don't hate on you for liking a band, then don't hate on mine. let's spread some love & stop this ignorance. please & thank you.
man oh man you actually gave us a chance :) thank you so much..many many bands on this myspace thing but you still went out of your way for us so I am here to personally thank you for that.
Forget about downloading our music on itunes etc... we've got something even MORE exciting.
You can now actually OWN a piece of the band. Instead of buying our cd right now - you can be a shareholder in our next one. It's a brilliant system - check it out!
You pick how many shares you want to buy - and then once the album is done, you start making money! :) And of course you can back out at any time. It would be really cool to have you on board for this.
i was gonna say something whitty and fun but i am a lil rusty..what are you up to..i bet your maybe even jamming our music..just becareful your speakers might combust! write back if you can :)
This is our singer Eric, all by himself - playing "Interstate Love Song" by Stone Temple Pilots. If you like it - be sure to share it with people - it's a fun acoustic version of the song! :) The code is at the end of the song!
Hey! Just letting you know our new record "My Life With A Giant" is out now. Pick it up on iTunes or in our web store at http://barelyblind.bigcartel.com :)
Hey! I dont mean to bother, but I just put up some new pics, and was hoping to get some feedback. If you could comments them, and let me know what you think, Id really appreciate it. If not I understand, and I thank you anyway.
Hey what have you been up to? Just wondering if you have gottena song or 2 on our i-tunes yet? We never ask much from our friends but it really means alot if you could grab one
So, I just wanted to check and see if you got the free songs/video download I messaged you about...? If you haven't yet, you can get your copy at www.gavinmikhail.com/freesongs.htm. And, just so you know, it comes straight from my official gavinmikhail site (so there's no chance of viruses, etc... a few people have asked about that...). Anyway, let me know if you get it ok...
Thanks again for listening. I hope you're doing great...
Hey are you coming to our show at slim's? On Thursday July 23, 2009 It is in san francisco we are pretty excited..we have a flyer right on the page..let me know if you are :)
