so i'm going to take a break and visit my home town, see the family, old friends. thank you Mom and Bo (and the others who privately messaged and IM'd) for the condolences. my gramps was the best, no exceptions. he fought for his country in WW2, he was the rock in the family, there will never be anyone close to him.

i'm going to be working on a single with a real band when i get back, so tons of press releases and other documents to sort out... been 10 years since i played in a real band and the first gig might be in front of several thousand people. that, in itself, beats most achievements online hands down... not enjoying the feel of the temporary earplugs to protect them until i have the scans though lol. so, for all those textbook following guitar masturbating egotistical cocksuckers who don't even play live (and probably can't, too busy jizzing over their own pic on their desktop)... don't give up your day jobs eh? when the band's first single gets 1000 pre-orders mainly on the strength of two festival shows, no mainstream publicity and appeals to a student following that represents one of the best areas to get known in, tell me again how your zillion online streams and few dozen mp3 sales is such a success.

damn fucking right i'm sticking it to those people. for years i watched people come here and boast, spam and bullshit their wares, most of which would have better success being used as some form of pest control. good luck with that! also, i may not be ChillinBuzz with the future project but i'm still a big cog in the engine. in fact, it'll be nice to be plain old Chris again, regardless of whether i end up playing bass or rhythm again. just like the 90s, without the drinking and recklessness.

always an indie though. i do miss this site when i'm away or ill... but it's been suffering from a bad infestation for some time and you'd never be able to buy enough rat poison to cure it.
