SF is Dead.

This post is long overdue.

I'm not going to share a heartfelt story about "the end".. because it isn't. SF just never took off, and although I'm a little disappointed with that, I feel it may be for the better. I've continued on with other projects, and am happy to be doing so.

You can still catch me at sinsfate.net, blogging about what's happening with the music, various web projects, and life in general. Check it out?

Goodbye, Blogger..

I no longer have time to keep up with this separate Blogger journal. Maybe I'll be back in the future.. but until then, all new entries will be posted right on our website.

Thanks to everyone who has stopped in to read the beginning of our story and to those who've commented and supported us through our rough times.

They're heeeere..

Hey guys, I'm back! (Run away!)

I know, I know.. it's been almost two months since I last updated. But now I have internet at the "new" apartment and plenty of time to keep up with everything.

So what have I been doing with my time? Working, writing, practicing, and hanging with the crew. And cleaning.. not to mention that my kitchen skills have improved greatly. I can now make hamburger helper without supervision.

We've also got a new band lineup-
vocals/keys: Raivyn
guitars: Dave
bass: Jason
drums: JR

The website isn't yet updated to include the new lineup, but check it out anyway. And add us on MySpace. You know you want to.

I have to race like a pisshorse.

What?

Don't ask.. just don't ask.

And so here I am, sitting here in Jen's room, typing up this blog post because I don't have internet access at the apartment. I know, I know. I suck. You don't have to tell me.

She and a friend are out for part of the night and I'm here with the kids, trying to remember how I managed to take such good care of my little sister when she was still a baby. I just don't know.. I've forgotten everything. And I hate when kids cry. It makes me want to join in.

As far as the music thing goes, we're still on that mini hiatus. But my god, we still manage to come up with new stuff. There hasn't been a day when I haven't played my piano. A new song is in the works.. and there are plenty of ideas for at least three others. I love it. It controls my life.

I'm taking a little break from the ad space rental thing.. at least for the next week or so.. until I can sit down and put some time and effort into things. Time is very limited right now.

Until later.. keep your chin up, eat the mashed potatoes before they go bad, and don't take candy from strangers.

Google words like PLUNGER and SLINKY and GIVE ME BEER..

..and see if this page comes up. You never know.

I'm moving in a few days, so I thought now would be a good time to type up this post. And no, I'm not telling you where I'm moving to.. I don't need forty-seven thousand people from the internet knocking on my door, asking if I can come out to play. Sorry, kiddies.

This is going to be quite the experience for me, considering that I've never really been out on my own.. even though I'll have a roomie. I've fallen in love with the apartment and I can't wait to add my personal touches to it. I can't take all my junk with me though. I wish I could.

Make sure you pay a visit to this week's ad space renter, Scooter McGavin's 9th Green. At first I thought it was a golf blog, but then I checked it out and found that it has a lot of cool media stuff. It's worth the visit.

Okay, guys. I've got a lot of packing and shtuff to do. Later!

What is it with bass players?

Last night was interesting. J and I went down to Joker's Wild in Ogdensburg, PA for a show. Three bands played that night and I met a lot of cool people.

The show had a late start because the band that was originally scheduled to go first (Something Grey) had a late vocals guy, and wound up in the second position.

Kung Fu Jesus, the band that played first (in the picture) was very good. They were heavier than the other two bands and I liked their style of playing. I'd definitely go to more of their shows.

And when Agony Hill started up, just about everyone in the bar went nuts. People were pushing to the front of the stage and dancing like crazy. Despite the fact that a couple chicks were totally invading my personal space, I had a great time.

I just noticed something.. What is it with bass players? With every band I've met and talked to, it's always the bass player that I wind up chatting with the most. It's like I'm a bass man magnet or something. The top four people I've talked with last night were all bass players- Jason (my band's bass dude), Joe (Agony Hill), Yogi (Kung Fu Jesus), and Dave (Something Grey). What the hell?

HAVE YOU SEEN MY BASEBALL?

Yes, we are odd. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it.

Even my 9-year-old sister has used our names with the word "retard" recently.

At least we're having fun.

We're taking a little break from the music right now, building our contact list and getting ready for a long, tiring stretch of practices. Everyone needs some time to goof off now and then, and now is our turn. (It's going to be a beautiful, sunny Saturday on the roof with beer and music. Yes, the roof. This is our Memorial Day weekend.)

Go visit this week's blog, A Yoga Coffee Outlook. It's a fairly popular blog and I enjoy reading it.

So what's on my agenda for today? Well, I've got to dye my hair again.. I've got about an inch of light blonde roots because I've been far too lazy to do anything about it. And I need to get some more cold medicine. I've had a sore throat and runny nose for a couple days now. It sucks. But all in all, it's going to be a pretty lazy day. I have no obligations. I'm free to be the idiot that I am.

How about a snorkel and an avocado?

People in this town just have no sense of humor whatsoever. I cannot understand it. Maybe they don't like metal freaks.. who knows?

We're still looking for guitarists. And drummers. (My god, this is annoying the crap out of me!) But what can I do? I'm making new contacts every few days.. people in other bands. Many have offered to help us out in finding musicians, and I appreciate that, but I'm still riding that fence between composure and insanity. Or maybe I'm just impatient.

We've also been working on a couple songs that we've yet to come up with names for. They're.. interesting. I'll put it that way. I've got a crapload of ideas, but because of our lack of musicians, we can't put all of them into action.

And again with the frustration. It's one big circle.

Ever notice that life revolves around circles? Our emotions and life events can be compared to circles in one way or another. The earth is a circle. (Okay, it's a SPHERE.. but still, just work with me.) CD's are circles. Most dishware take on the form of circles. The wheels on our cars are circles. I think I have made my point.

Heptagons are completely left out of the loop. Is it weird to feel bad for them? HEPTAGONS HAVE FEELINGS, TOO!

Go check out the ad space renter- Workout4Bloggers. It has cool little exercises and plenty of health facts for lazy computer people like me.

And reading over this, I've come to the conclusion that I should not be blogging with a buzz..

"..and so you get the full effect of my asscheeks rattling."

Thank you, Jason. I could have lived without that remark.

Okay, guys. I have a confession to make. I'm still using Christmas cookie stamps to mail out my phone bills. Why? Because I think they're cute.. Not really. I just don't do much as far as the post goes. And the way I'm going, I'll still be using those stamps next December.

On a different note, we've been working on our music and stuff. Still looking for a replacement guitarist though. Hopefully we'll find the guy soon.

That reminds me (and I don't know why!).. I have to go over to J's place and take a shower yet again today before I have to go to work in the evening. The mother shut off all the hot water in the house at the beginning of the week and only turns it on to do dishes and take a shower. Unfortunately for me, I am never home at those times and get screwed out of a hot shower. And so I have to travel ten minutes down the road with my towel, lavender body wash, clothes, and man deoderant because I don't know a thing about plumbing.

And now is the time I ask myself why I'm posting such useless information for the world to read. I don't know.. I have nothing better to write about.

Shower time.

"Well, you can't kill a hotdog.."

We broke through our small bout of laziness yesterday.

We pulled out my newest set of lyrics (which was chewed slightly by J's dog) and WHABAM! Within an hour, we had something.. almost an entire song. How frickin' awesome is that? I'm proud of that one.

Go check out Got Lyrics!, this week's blog ad space renter. It's a great music news blog with, of course, lyrics. So YO, CHECK IT OUT, DUDE!

I've also made some major changes to the website over the past week. (Forgot to mention that one.) The entire color scheme is different, along with the main links and features.

We're also looking for a new guitarist, guys. Anyone in the Penn-York valley looking for a metal band? Send an email to band@sinsfate.net.
