Idk

 I’m not sure how to start this. I’m Bicycling a lot again, and Sioux Falls traffic and construction make things difficult. The day before yesterday I almost got hit by a wayward speeding driver. The event made me not want to ride in traffic. 

I looked into joining Falls area bicyclists again.

Moving

 I live with my dad now and haven’t been able to play guitar in a while. Unfortunately I don’t have the money for it either. I was going to take Easter off but changed my mind at the last minute. Also I’ve had a lot of trouble getting a haircut.

Music Journey(Guitar Forum)

 I was always interested in music and started collecting it. My interests shifted to Punk Rock cause it reached me on a different level. I bought a guitar & amp, and I met a guy named Rob who thought I should switch to bass. So I got a bass & rig and soon got for your eyes only going. I was getting into 80's hardcore the Misfits & the Dead Kennedys I think my band was trying to get the girls.

I quit and played music on my own for little while, faking the band with a keyboard. Then I started X.G.H. but I brought Rob into it and we clashed over a lot of things, and the drugs came in. I quit and started my next band but those guy's were using too, and my lack of musical skills kind of killed that gig. I had money and played music on my own again, and I shopped a demo to a talent development agency but they wanted a bunch of money. I smashed all my instruments when it went bad. 
My drug use got really bad about this time and I got arrested a few times. I started a band with Rob again which sounded good at times, and everyone was partying hard. They fired me, and soon after I tried to move to Los Angeles thinking a bigger market was the answer. I guess I should mention I was trying to clean up. There was a second disastrous trip to LA. Then I tried to kill myself.
I survived and stopped playing for six months and I was still having trouble with drugs & alcohol. I set up a studio in my parents basement. I joined a twelve step group and went clean.I bought an acoustic guitar for $60 and as a singer songwriter I found what I was looking for. I did an acoustic album which was more of a E.P. Then I recorded the songs for Down and Out. I've recently aquired more guitars and am taking lessons on garage band.

Bike Ride

 I went on a bike ride with an Ace Hardware rental bike for the first time in years. I didn't take any pictures but it was pretty cool.

Update

 I'm doing good.(I've been neglecting my blog again.) I've got 5g Internet now, but I've noticed that not much has changed. I'm writing some new songs but I'm a long way from a new album.

Tom Delonge Strat

 

I decided to post this on my blog. Fender's prices are a ripoff. I like my single pickup guitars but I wouldn't pay 1,300 for one. I can still hear the mistakes too.

Snow & Music

 I've been hiking over drifts cause we got 18 inches of snow. I missed a day of work because of this storm. I recorded My Truck which was a collaboration with Dennis Cockerham. Cause of problems with my computer I had to use my old one.
