Its been a while since my last post there's so much going on I guess and its definitely good for me. Here's a little rundown in the past 2 or 3 months not really sure hehehe :
1. Ebay is my newest tambayan online. Its also good for window shopping.
2. I renamed my band to <<go.left.now w/c is more personal and original. John told me it looks good on t-shirts hehehe!
3. I got a job! Yes i'm a working boy again! I'm working as a Front desk at America's Best Value Inn. The vibe is good my co-workers are great and my boss is one of a kind what more can I ask?! I chose to work 7days a week because the work load is not demanding and I still get 5 to 7 hours of sleep in a day, I still get to do my chores and my project. I try to have a balance diet and not miss taking my food supplements.
4. John just emailed me the cd cover of my demo. I still haven't made a test print though but my plan is to put it out on June. There's an annual event in the lake by that time I'll try to sell it for a dollar per cd and maybe give away some t-shirts. Wish me luck!
5. I took the ACT exam last April 12 and I passed! Thank GOD! I always believe that I'm intelligent in some ways hahaha!
6. We are planning to move back to Chicago this coming fall and I really hope it would materialize. So i'll scrap the idea of going back to school this year besides I don't really like the course that I'm going to take anyway.
7. I bought a bnew sansamp the one w/c Kurt Cobain used in his Nirvana days. I'm trying to build his rig and used it on a gibson explorer guitar and on a squier telecaster w/c I don't have just yet =P
8. I was inspired by Robin Rivera and Markus Adoro to create a blog about my project. Its going to be the diary of my project until I finished it or give up on it hehehe. I don't think that I will post them here because I want my vox site to be as personal as possible maybe i'll just put the links everytime I post.
Well I guess thats it so get the hell out of my site and go to this links! Thank you!

General Info
At the end of 2001, around December, former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic joined a new trio called Eyes Adrift. Eyes Adrift is Novoselic's first full-fledged band in several years. Not since Krist teamed up with Yva Las Vegas to form Sweet 75 back in 1995 have we seem him take part in a major project. The line-up couldn't be any better. Besides Novoselic, Eyes Adrift includes Meat Puppets main man Curt Kirkwood on vocals and guitar and the Long Beach Dub Allstars' Bud Gaugh (Formerly of Sublime) on drums.
That Eyes Adrift finds Novoselic paired with Kirkwood shouldn't come as a surprise. Kirkwood's Meat Puppets figured significantly into Nirvana's past, both as an influence and as contributor. Nirvana fans will recall the band performing three Meat Puppets songs -- "Lake of Fire," "Oh, Me" and "Plateau" -- during its classic MTV "Unplugged" performance, with Kirkwood and his younger brother Chris joining in on guitar and bass, respectively.
Kirkwood says Novoselic contacted him at his Texan home after seeing his solo show in Seattle. It was a pure coincidence that Gaugh also rang Kirkwood looking to form a new band, and so Eyes Adrift was born. Kirkwood had played on Nirvana's 'Unplugged' album but hadn't previously met Gaugh.
Like Nirvana, the Meat Puppets too were saddled with drug problems, theirs stemming from Cris Kirkwood's addiction to heroin. The older Kirkwood eventually carried on without his brother, revamping the Meat Puppets for last year's unremarkable comeback album "Golden Lies." Gaugh himself has had troubles in the past with heroin, his good friend, the lead singer of Sublime died of a heroin overdose.
Eyes Adrift got together in December 2001. Their self-titled debut album was released on September 24, 2002 on SpinArt Records. Pick it up, it is a really good record!
Eyes Adrift's sound and immediate future is anyone's guess; you'll just have to see for yourself.

I thought Krist concentrated just being an activist after releasing the one and only album of sweet 75. Sadly the band also soon broke up after lengthy tour, there one and only album was a commercial failure. But its good to know he made an attempt to make music again.
