oh, internet.

page 1.....again

i've entered a new chapter in my life. i moved in with the only girl on the face of the planet dumb enough to put up with my shenanigans and we just adopted the single most amazing four legged fart machine i've ever had the opportunity to be licked by.

we got a boston terrier and named him PIZZA. he literally is A-M-A-FUCK-Z-I-N-G.

so far the move has been going well excepts for our neighbors upstairs.

they are a bunch of college kids who play beer pong everyday and are generally useless.

Don't get me wrong, i'm all for partying and debauchery. that's fine... but what they don't seem to understand is that you gotta shut that shit off and be a grown up every once in a while. At least once a week.

but whatever.

On friday TPS heads out on the road again. this time we head back down to SXSW and are officially on an Official Showcase. It's quite official. After that we head to CALIFORNIA. fuck

i will try to write on the road. no one cares. but maybe....just maybe, someday i'll be famous and someone will give a shit. probably not though.

Valentine's Day

For all you Bitch Ass Bitch Asses,

Women don't want Flowers. Give your woman bacon. Show her you are far more thoughtful than the rest a dem suckas.

Respect.

success

is the present

is not the past

is the present overcoming the past

is the future

success is success is success IS

setting sails

winds ebb mistake smiles with flow

courage in rebuilds

find truth in wisdom hope love

-yet again, i find myself with drooping morale. it seems that no matter how hard i work, i'm in constant struggle. my dreams become softened: sea glass. my hope is inspired by my love who uses her wisdom to calm my deepest fears and woes.

-she is my navigator, my compass rose. in her i trust and all the same i feel fear beyond the scope of my understanding. there is so little within the reach of my control.

....hope, wisdom, love. they shall set me free and she will show me the way. in this I believe.

baby steps

tonight was a night of vibrant re-vigor-ation

time to yell to the world

here I am, take me as i am for that's all i'll ever be

listen to the sounds of our inner melody

think of us as a humble community of connected speakers

listening from within

screaming with one millions voices of in-tune

rounded hums

we'll cast light on casted shadows

unbend the ever winding

and at time's end

restart that which has no beginning

-Tonight I feel as though the spark that craved air has finally found a whisper to grow on. I feel great. I feel love for my art. I feel love for my musical companions.

Happy New Year, Indeed

Cincinnati Entertainment Awards

This year marks some unprecedented achievement! The Pinstripes were nominated for three of this year's CEA's. We ranked among Cincinnati's favorite in World Music, Artist of the Year, and Album of the Year.

Now the three nominations are each individually are humbling for sure. But the latter two are acclimations that we hold quite dear. Normally, most of the nominations are voted by the public and the winner is selected based on a majority. Artist and Album of the Year are both voted on by a selected panel of Cincinnati musicians, writers, critics, promoters, so on and so forth.

Now this year, like all years, is STIFF competition. But just being nominated feels like a real gland slam. We put in a lot of work. It's nice to know people other than our moms, dads and girlfriends are noticing.

So here is my Shameless Plug. If you have the time and are still feeling a little bit of residual Holiday cheer. I invite you check us out. Maybe even Vote? Late Christmas presents are sweet. AND my birthday was two days ago.

2013 and tumblr is still a thing

Hello lovelies,

It's been almost a year since I've contributed anything on this platform.

I underwent many things this year. Let's hit some bullet points.

-I began dating a wonderful woman who stands by me with my insecurities and my faults. More on this subject to come.

-I have been traveling insufferably with The Pinstripes to try to make something of ourselves.

-I have hit an incredibly large wall dubbed "writer's block". I have had much difficulty in finding my creativity. more on this later.

-There have been many ups and downs with my employment this year. 2013 looks like it will take me through some kind of employment change. Hopefully sooner than later.

-2012 was a year of limited technology use, although how far can we really get from it? I have discovered reading....books, again.

-I have seen an explosive interest in motorcycles grow. Before purchasing a bike of my own, I would have called shenanigans on anyone who told me I would be the kind of person to have an unquenchable passion for the two wheeled lifestyle.

-Most of important of all, I have decided that my life needs some kind of greater purpose. I don't know how its going to manifest itself. But I want more of everything. I want to give more of anything.

I have ideas... at least I think I do. I'm going to try to tap into them here and elsewhere.

The biggest decision that I can make this year; the greatest feat I can tackle; the greatest purpose I can devote the most amount of time to is one simple objective.

To Do.

-Slee
