So im sittin here at work (HotRod on westwood -south of olympic) with my co-worker Chris Candy of the rock band Chotto Ghetto, and he decides to learn me a thing or two on Metal bands-so im sittin here listening to all of his favorite songs by Slayer and all of these other super metal bands, and all of a sudden he breaks out into this Dipset mode and starts playing their first album and all this "gangsta' shit" as Juelz would say. Which leads me to the konklusion that you kan't stereotype anything anymore bekause there are too many different types of stereos (PUN INTENDED)-lol- so anyway, i didnt know where i was going with this when i sat down to type it, but i just realized that this relates to this author that i "read" (sparknoted the hell out of for Schenker's A.P. English klass) and one of his central ideas is that there is no state of normaility. Everything that one would expect from a person or situation is altered drastically when one aspect of that situation or person doesn't measure up to the anticipated presumtions; for instance, a Priest who sins for the sake of good has stepped outside the boundaries of the average Priest, rendering him "abnormal" from the pre-conceived idea of a Priest. I aktually stole that example from a book entitled The Power and the Glory. This author's name is Graham Greene-i suggest that you read him. . . his best book is The Power and the Glory, but anyway. . .here are some piktures to grasp your attention bekause i know you wouldn't read this if you didnt have an illustration to compare it too.

So I haven't really done a post on photography so I figured why not do it now. A lot of people have been messaging me what camera do I use ? how long have I been taking pitcures ? How big is my Dick lmao ? etc.. So I wanna let everybody know how I does it !!!

Before I started using digital I was using my Nikon N75 35mm Film Camera. I loved it but that shit is expensive as hell, and fucking aggravating not being able to see what I was doing. So I told my mom look "WOMAN" I need an upgrade so for Hanuka my mom bought me the D40x. 10.2 mega pixels pretty small and nice. I got it for $500 brand new with a wide angle lens, three 2 Gb memory cards, and a carrying case. Don't ask how she did it, but it was done!! So yeah if your a photographer you know that mega pixels aren't everything, and in my opinion a lens makes the camera. My partner in this photography world is Lonnie Ro he has a thing I call the "Secret Lens" it's a secret because it takes the best pictures and honestly I don't know the specifications of it lol and I don't want anybody to cop it, so it's a secret for now..... But for Christmas my mom got me a 55mm to 200mm VR Nikon Lens which is the shit !!! I LOVE IT

So in my case I make the best of what I have. You gotta also have the "EYE". and I consider myself to have the eye for taking pictures. It's my second love after my music, and maybe I will find a career in photography one day. but for now ima just keep providing my friends with high quality pictures because I hate to see pictures from peoples cell phones in the mirror n shit ughh shit makes me angry

Yeah Before Alex left we recorded this song with Red Robot called "Heaven". Now you gotta understand how difficult it was for me to not put this up right away haha. but I finally mixed it down and I got the approval from Andy (1/2 of Red Robot) so I'm putting it up !!
I feel we create the best songs when we all work on it together, and it shows on this song. It's also not the typical song you would expect to hear out of Somewhere Else and Alex Jacke.

So as my dude Kyle would say the shits "ill"

SO LISTEN



-CMB

I would have to say this song makes me feel so good. haha.. Every time I hear this song I think of an independent film, and a couple meet each other and fall in love and they are really happy lmao... YEAH !!! but listen and see how it makes you feel !!! Feist is such a good artist check her out on itunes.

So today after finals I went to P house to finish setting up the studio. The Desk came and its so sick so I started mixing the "Heaven" session, and me and Lonnie Ro started on this sick piece for the "Red Robot" "SomeWhere Else" Album

Me: Ay Andy were u ever able to lay down that electric guitar to the song
Andy: Haha I played around with it lots but I haven't got something clear yet cause I've been so busy
Andy: but mid week ask me again and
Andy: Ill probably have something
Andy: Ive just been so swamped with reading
11:20 PM
Me: Thats Koo no pressure
Andy: lol Such a tight song though
Me: lol thx but I know ur going to make it even better
Haha
Andy: well
Andy: two artistic minds
combined as one nice hamburger
Andy: you got all the condiments on it now
Andy: Its just that much tastier
Me: lol i like the way u put that lol
Andy: Man Ive been writing
so much lately
Andy: Ive written more than I have the past
6 months
Me: So I should expect good shit from Red Robot ??? lol
Haha
Andy: The best yet I'd say
Andy: Its all very different and a lot more
mature
Me: I like to hear that man I wish I could say the same lol but I cant haha .....but i really want to improve my song witting skills though
Andy: You're excellent though
you have a great ear for
sound
Andy: Especially you know what sounds good
Me: Yeah man but i need to improve that i gotta step it up i wanna achieve so much so I gotta do more
Andy: Haha I know what you mean
when I go on my slumps I'm like
dang this sucks
Andy: But music is so unpredictable and
since you want it so bad
it'll come to you eventually
im positive
Andy: The worst thing you could do is feel pressured
11:35 PM
Me: Yeah that happens i cant force music or i get that stuff those beats that i don't do anything with when i take my time i get music stuff i can work with
Andy: Oh absolutely lol Seriously though from September to the beginning of December I couldn't write ANYTHING
Andy: I think I had
two songs with no lyrics
and I was so frustrated
the last thing I had written was Specters
and you know what the problem was?
Andy: My love for a person turned into my biggest frustration
and at that point it wasn't genuine anymore
Me: DOG I feel u.. i think thats what happen to me well not love but whatever it was messed me up and thats when I wrote "I've Been Waiting For U" and i started to just let it go but yeah music is tricky thats why i wanted to do this red robot, somewhere else album cause i feel like we all compliment each other in a way thats crazy and i feel like we can make the best music anybody has heard
Andy: Definitely
Andy: lol I'm a big believer of
fate and going to Hamilton with you guys
it was definitely meant to be
Me: Yeah man meeting you guys was definitely a blessing and music is built in me and i don't meet many people where I can see music is built in them but u and Ryan have it in you I see it in alex to thats why i choice to work with u guys

I've been realizing that moments make my life. My dude kyle told me that I should start writting more on my blog so im going to take my time and write a little of what I feel. For the past couple of weeks I've been struggling with myself about a lot of things, school, life, social issues, everything. This weekend was kind of a brake from all of that. I got to hang out with the primitive click for a bit. I got to go see my homeboy Bobby show and had a good time laughed harder then I have in a long time. I also hung out with Vallerie and went to the live tapping of the new Randy Jackson dance crew show which was a lot of fun. And I have just been focusing my mind on other things and just started to have fun, not worrying about anything accept when I lost my wallet and my keys at the show lol wow I almost lost it. So I feel good I just go to remember to not let anybody or anything bring me down. I'm following my dreams, I'm trying to do big things in my life and for me to go where I plan on going I gotta stay focus on the bigger picture.
