Books
I'm reading Perfume right now. Pretty weird. Don't know if I'll finish it.
About me: I am a full time blues musician. My band is called The Insomniacs. Right now that is my main concern. I've half heartedly gone to school on and off for a while. I live in a really cool town with great food and music. I kind of like where I'm at right now in my life. I have a cat that plays fetch. I'm pretty good at COD4. I've recently started collecting old music equipment, decided to buy a house, re-read Ayn Rand novels, decided Louis C.K. is my new favorite comedian, and discovered Estelle (she's a singer). I'm not religious. I have 4080 songs on my ipod. I am a life long SF Giants fan. I enjoy singing more and more. I'm enjoying getting older from a mental standpoint but not a physical one (go figure). I like wearing nice clothes and I don't think it would take much for me to become addicted to buying shoes. I get to play with some of the best blues musicians in the world here in Portland. I'm dating my high school sweetheart.
Oh BTW, American Boy made it to the charts - top 10 on iTunes and I heard it again in Forever21. As soon as I hear it on some teenyboppers cell it will officially be ruined...so sad.
Hola V. You and the lovely Emma, congrats on the house, and by the ways... I am hostessing a Guatemalan Jewelry Sale!!! Yes, you know, I went down there, love love love it, and me friend Julio is coming up and will be selling beaded jewelry made by widowed women from the 36yr civil war there! Holy mullets right? So, you guys should come to my little house.. July 19th... and bring or invite other people. And if you out of town, Emma should come, and bring friends. I serve snacks, vino, and it be fun. Peace, Lizzardo
hey you... keep this in mind: Blues Fest, my big ole pregers sis in-law and I want to be front and center. Make it happen. Thanks for your consideration, peace in the Middle East.
offer on a house huh? wow, making some life moves bro! thats great. things down here are good, still with wells fargo and back working and living in orange county. and even though living in vegas was exciting and had its moments, i feel that my life expectancy is much greater since moving away.
whats going on my friend. so it looks like the music is really taking off for you guys, thats great man. i'd seriously love to come see you play, although, i noticed a big gap in the tour schedule whereby southern california was omitted. i'm sure it was just an oversight but you might want to address that with the tour manager haha how's the audi?
Hey Vyasa ... how hv ya been man ? Hit me up sometime n lemme know... I hvn't talked to ya in a long ass time. Hope everything is good with ya bro... Later.
Hey V... I am a loser, and am geeking out on art projects as we speak, took a break to say howdy, and that I wish I could come tonight. Damn school, but it almost over. Hope you and Emma had fun house hunting with my wacky sis-inlaw.... she funny lady, eh?
wow, definitely the end of an era. crazy man. and they probly jacked the rims for sure right? that really sucks. so, you gonna go musician/soccer-dad style now and buy a minivan or what? new beginnings! haha
vyasa! whats new man? i moved back to orange county, no more crazy vegas nights. well, perhaps on the occasional weekend, but you know what i mean. you still up in portland?
