SXSW

SXSW was am-azing! Had such a great time!

Went out there Friday night for my best friend's 21st and had a few friends that neither of us had seen in a while. Got shwasted before we even left, then continued the party downtown. 6th street was LOADED with people and we just went bar hopping =]

My only regret about Friday is that I met this one girl at Vibe who picked me out of the crowd to dance with, and left without getting a number or even asking her to come along. That occurred because she and her friend walked off and, I assume left the bar. After thinking about it for a moment I bet they just went to the bar..oh well..

Then Saturday(last night) I went out with 3 of the original 5 that went Friday, and met up with the 4th(birthday boy) and 3 others. My brother and his fiance were out there for Explosions in the Sky, but she accidentally took a bunch of allergy medication and wasn't feeling up to par. Had another great night last night tho..saw some great music and met some cool people. My only regret about this night was that I wasn't a SXSW member, and couldn't see a lot of the bands I wanted to see..No matter tho. I had fun, and although my roommate had a badge and was able to see a lot of badass music, he wasn't 21 and couldn't enjoy the bar scene..

All in all my first SXSW experience was a blast and I got to experience it with some great people. Definitely gonna go back next year..Next is the reggae fest, then maybe a NIN and 311 show(seperate) and then it's Renaissance and ACL =]


Damn it feels good to be a gangsta!

Ugh! So I just wrote this really long, detailed blog and tried to post it and there was an error..What's the point of automatic saving on this thing if it won't even bring it back if there's an error??

So to sum a couple things up, I haven't painted anything yet because I haven't quite figured out what I'm gonna do yet. Apartment Chronicles are going good, and the roomies are excited. Ideas are floating around and I'm coming up with a basis for what I want it to be about.

I also have another movie idea I've been working on that incorporates my home town of Hutto, and the changes it is undergoing from a country town to a suburb of Austin. That one, I think, is gonna be a horror/comedy. Apartment Chronicles mostly a comedy, but with a lot of music since it's mostly gonna be about the band I live with.

Apart from that, I've also been reading the Bible a lot more lately - instead of other books - and have made it up to Joshua so far. That may not sound like much since it's only the 6th book, but I'm making great progress, and once it's all said and done and I've read everything front to back, I think I'll be a new and improved person. =]

Also, I've been reading up on Chakras, and listening to people like Eckart Tolle and the Flowering of Human Consciousness. If you wanna check that stuff out, just search google for Chakras, or go to www.rickrichards.com.



Today is my best friend's birthday too, so Happy 21st buddy!

New(s)

So it's been a long time coming and I really have no excuse for not updating this blog, but I'm going to try my hardest to make more posts. So instead of catching you up to speed on what's been happening, let me just jump you up to NOW.

First off, yesterday was St. Patrick's Day, and my brother, his fiance, and I went to Canary Roost and Third Base for a few drinks. It was an all around good night I must say - even tho we didn't get to play shuffleboard..

My bestfriend is also in town from Iraq, and will be here until July when he's gotta go to Germany for two years. I also saw another good friend of mine who was in town before he's gotta go to Afganhistan.

Other than all that mingling, I've also recently purchased some acrylic paint and a couple canvases. In addition to my art, I've also decided to kick Apartment Chronicles back into full stride. And for those of you who don't know, A.C. is a short film I'm putting together for fun. So look for the new A.C., my new blog posts, and all the fun that comes to follow! Also stay positive, love your life, and try to have fun daily. =]
