I can't remember the last time I posted on here, nor can I remember the last time I rode my bike; I want to say late 2015? I definitely wouldn't mind taking a rip soon.
According to the the ol' profile, I registered in 2004. Since then, the following things have happened...
- Graduated from high school in 2005.
- Graduated from university in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts, Major in English.
- Managed a telecommunications store from 2010 to 2014.
- Had shoulder surgery.
- Played literally hundreds of gigs, and literally thousands of songs.
- Got engaged.
- Got a dog.
- Fiancé left me.
- Fiancé took the dog.
- Lost pretty much everything.
- Started a career job.
- Met the girl of my dreams, or re-met the girl of my dreams, seeing as though we had dated for a little over a year way back in grade nine.
- Somehow convinced her to move back to Atlantic Canada from Toronto.
- Bought a house.
Currently, I'm 30-years-old, I'm in the best shape of my life, have an incredibly challenging job that I look forward to doing for the rest of my life, have an incredible girlfriend, will likely be getting a dog soon, and have never been happier.
Also, the Sox have been hovering around first place in the AL East all season, so....

Absolutely beautiful girl, man. Talented, smart, hilarious, and so chill and laid back.
A goon like me is pretty damn lucky.

« on: April 24, 2016, 07:54:23 PM »I wasn't really in the same boat, but I was getting hammered once every two or three weekends. I'd grab a beer with food if I went out to eat. The occasional beer after work. A social drink or two if I was chillin' at a friend's house. Also, being that I'm constantly playing gigs during the week, it was always super easy to have a beer or two in the run of a set.
I started doing strength and conditioning classes at a local gym back on March 21 which kind of gave me added motivation to avoid drinking. I haven't had a drop of liquor since March 19, and I feel fantastic. I've lost some weight, tightened up and gotten less doughy, and I have a lot more energy. I'm not off booze for good, and I'll definitely be getting shitty next weekend when I head to Toronto, but cutting it out for the past month has definitely been easy with the extra motivation of putting in work at the gym - a sort of "don't make the work you're putting in pointless by drinking" notion.
Plus, the gym hurts so goddam bad, and drinking a ton of water helps.
Weren't you edge?
That ship sailed years ago.

2013 Mazda 3 Sport. No modifications other than putting an air freshener in it recently that smells like apple cider. Great car. Hatchback is perfect for music gear.

One week left to vote; I really appreciate the support.

I've asked you guys to do this before, and I definitely appreciate those of you who have voted in the past. I've been nominated for two Music PEI (Prince Edward Island) awards, both of which are determined by a public vote - Weekend Warrior and Cover Band/Artist Of The Year.
In 2015, I played 157 solo gigs, while also holding down a full-time, Monday to Friday job. That's not supposed to sound like a "poor me, I'm busy" story, considering I love playing music and would be doing it for free if I wasn't playing live, but it's definitely a ton of work. I do write my own music, and have played in original bands in the past, but these nominations are essentially for the cover gigs I play.
Looking for some love from friends, acquaintances, and apparently the internet, so if you're down to help out, click the link below and send a vote my way in both categories. No need to sign up for anything. Just click and vote.

Vote from all your goddam devices. Steal your friends' devices. Go to Best Buy and vote from the demo devices. Or just vote once. That's cool too. Voting closes on April 15.
Thanks, y'all.
