New Single from Void Of Axis, The Cub Wash Strikes Back, Bears On The River

I recently composed a new track called "Stars". Did the vocals this morning (with a ghetto webcam mic mind you) and they came out pretty decent. Its an awesome track that I personally wrote and created for someone special to me. It isn't part of any particular album and so can be called a stand alone single between records. I will probably be releasing it sometime soon and will announce when I do. I'd love to maybe do a music video for the track, it really depends on how much time I have since i'm busy as hell with Bears On The Coast. But I will be working hard to try and get something out. As far as other music announcements, I am still working on my second album, trying to get a better mic set up. I have to get some equipment before I can continue with it. But its still being worked on. And I am going to be getting some new music from DJ Airrick for the Compass 3 project, I hope to share more with you soon.

Bears On The Coast Episode 18 is now up. I am currently editing Episode 19, if you missed the previous episode, check it out here. In this episode we go to Paynes Prairie, hangout at Spikes and then The Cub Wash makes a glorious return this is borderline porn edition. Its pretty awesome.

Evolution of Humanity

Why would God give us free will if he didn't want us to use it? I ask this question after I watched a video about a Right Wing Conservative discuss that Home Depot supports Gay Rights and that we are just putting Home Depot "In The Clasp Of Satan". Then you have us boycotting Target and Chick Fil A for funding anti gay rights groups. I'm sorry but I don't believe religions should be involved when running a business. Take Chick Fil A for instance, they are a Christian run company, why your religious views have to be expressed over a deep fryer making chicken is beyond me. I believe everyone has a right to believe what they want to believe but their should be a level of tolerance. In the work place you should be tolerant of everyones differences, you can't tell off a customer for coming in and holding hands with a person of the same sex. That is the consumer, and you should always give the consumer the best experience so they will want to come back. But i'm sure companies like Chick Fil A believe that they don't need to do this because they can survive without our money. It is possible but I don't believe its right. Everyone should be treated equally in the work place. I shouldn't have to go to work worried that someone is going to pull me down and force me to pray for the "demons" to be exorcized from my body. Though they don't see their behavior as bigotry it is. And they can't understand this because how would you when you are taught from birth to believe something and then your pushed out in to the world where not everyone shares your beliefs and your families beliefs. So what do you do? You harass people telling them you can save them and when we are civil with you and tell you "No" you get upset and tell us we are going to Hell.

Let me ask you something, what is God? God is not wrathful, He is very caring, very giving, and He put us here to experience life as we see fit. The reason why He hasn't stopped you is because He wants us to solve our own problems. Do you really think He would want us to be living in a world where all judge each other on our misfortunes and our differences? No. I believe He put us here to be open to everyone and everything life has to offer. Otherwise He would have never given us free will. If we were to be controlled why would He give us this? I sometimes wonder if their is a God since He never gets involved. Why does He let all these bad things happen to us? If He has the power to save people why doesn't He? Why didn't He prevent all these wars, 911, Child Molestation, Cancer, AIDS, Disease, Nuclear Weapons, people living Homeless in the streets? You really have to think about it. If their is a God, I don't think He wants to interfere with how we live our lives. But do I think He accepts the things we do to each other? Not at all. But what can He do, we are His children, we are His creation and we must show Him we are better than this...

All In A Days Work

Edited some of Episode 17 (Part 2) today, came to the decision after putting some music in the episode that for now the talking pieces of the show remain music free. I am nervous i'll run out of original music for the show before the second season is over. But in the meantime I will try to show off some of the music, I already have one track that will be featured during one sequence. I'm hoping to get the episode parts two and three out before I leave on Saturday to Sawmill. Other than that we did laundry today so all of our clothes are clean now. Best of all I am feeling much better today so hopefully i'll be all good by tomorrow. The only problem i'm having now is my growing dental issue. Before I moved from New York City in August, I had plans to get a lot of work done on my mouth. I was to have my Wisdom Teeth removed, get seven fillings, and then get a deep cleaning. I only had one of those done, I had all my Wisdom Teeth removed. Since then i've been in desperate need of getting the fillings done and a deep cleaning. Now I fear their are more problems as I have deep pains in my jaw and I feel helpless to do anything about it. I think its wrong that you go in to a hospital expecting someone to help you but instead you are approached and asked "Do you have insurance or a credit card?". I mean really what the fuck? Healthcare should be free, keeping people healthy and saving them from injuries should not cost money. Maybe i'll touch on this another time, i'm exhausted and need sleep.

Tidal Wave, BOTC Season 2 Starts, Compass 3

So a lot has happened since i've last blogged. Why the hell I can't keep up with this is dumb, and I am trying to fix that. We went to Tidal Wave/Gay Days at Disney in Orlando, stayed at the host hotel "Royal Plaza" which was very nice. The event itself was very nice, saw a lot of friends from online and met some new ones. Filmed quite a bit for Bears On The Coast at the event so I don't want to give away some of what you will see in that episode. Unfortunately, as I have recently learned from Michael, we both got home feeling sick and now we both have a cold. This was probably brought on by something at the event possibly in the pool, or elsewhere. Even possible to have picked it up at Disney as children wipe their nose and then touch everything. So we are hoping to get better by this weekend, I am feeling a bit better as my nose as cleared up, still have a bit of a cough but slowly getting better. We are considering going to Sawmill this Saturday for their Bear Weekend. And on Sunday we are going to visit Richard & Robert so I can return their CD/DVD drive we borrowed for the weekend. So we should have a good weekend as long as we are both well before Friday.

I've finally started editing Bears On The Coast Season 2, i've finished Episode 17 (Part 1) already and need to do Part 2 & 3 next. I will probably try to get those done before this weekend hits. I love the new intro i've created for the show and I am glad we have been receiving positive feedback from it. Some criticism has been made over the length of the intro as it clocks in at two minutes and twenty six seconds. This counts the episode name and number. I believe its the correct length as it showcases our reoccuring cast members that have been supportive of the show. I felt it was only fair to feature them as they don't get paid to do this and this is my way of thanking them for their support. If you feel the intro is too long and you don't approve then just fast forward. The show is an hour show so if you really feel that upset you lost two minutes and twenty six seconds then sorry but this is just how it is.

While working on music for Season 2 of Bears On The Coast I started to experiment with House/Trance music. In doing this I felt it would be better to ask for assistance from any artists willing to help. I have gained two awesome talents, those being Steven (DJ Bearish) & Eric (DJ Airrick). So far the process has lead me to compose a total of 13 tracks on my own. I am currently taking a break as to let Steven and Eric catch up and compose new works if they choose. So far Steven has contributed a track he composed which I think sounds great. If you watch Season 2 of Bears On The Coast you will find the tracks popping up all over the place. The opening theme titled "Ghost" was the first track created for the project and is one of my favorites. I have shown the material to some of my friends and have received a great reaction from it. Some are great to hear i'm doing more accessible and more mainstream work. And more importantly more upbeat music. I've been told the music I create is depressing and sad because of the content of what i'm singing and the music runs with that theme. A lot of my past material which has yet to be released is all based on times long past in which i've had something i've dealed with. I think happy and sad music is essential, you can't have one without the other. Life has its ups and downs, and my music is the same. I am glad I could prove to people that not everything I create is sad and depressing. Some of it can make you dance and want to just have a good time and party. I'm glad I can create something different.
