So, my life has made a complete 180 over the last few weeks. After the disintegration of my former band, Wintermask, I needed to figure out what direction my life should take and what to do after my plans for the future had been destroyed.
About three weeks ago, I quit my job working as a night auditor in Jackson, Wyoming, moved out of my apartment and headed down to Salt lake City, Utah in order to pursue a position as a vocalist for a new band. I moved in with my friend Dan, one of the former guitarists for Wintermask, and we've been writing new music with two members of his near-dead band, Bloodhaze. So far, we've ripped one unrecorded Wintermask song, have solidified two brand new songs, and are currently working on a fourth. I'm really digging the new shit, and if our writing continues to progress at this level, I'll probably be sticking around.
Right now, I'm living in Dan's basement, free of charge. He's got a wife and two kids, but I've become pretty good friends with Liz and the midgets are slowly warming up to me. I just got hired by Dan's employers, and in about two weeks, I'm going to start training to become a fucking electrician. I'm starting at $10.00 per hour ($15.00 for out-of-town jobs), but that should ramp up pretty quickly once I get some experience under my belt. On top of that, I've apparently just been hired as one of the eight core editors of an upcoming videogame news site. The guy running the show is 100% serious about it, and intends for the site to rival groups like IGN and Gamespot within a few years.
So, all in all, my life is substantially busier than it was two months ago. I've got a lot of fresh stuff on my plate, and I'm honestly kinda overwhelmed by it all. My activity as of lately hasn't been phenomenal, but don't expect me to up and disappear on you guys or anything. I still check in almost every day, if even for only a few minutes. Just don't expect me to be carrying on multi-page flame wars with anybody anytime soon.
Just thought I'd clue everyone in on what's been going on since the beginning of April. Horns up, shitheads!
