They call it 'demo-ing'

This weekend i had the very sweet privilege of recording some new demo tracks with my best friends, Kyle, Chris and Jordan.
We recorded with a great guy by the name of Aaron Pauley, he was spot on and one of the nicest dudes i've ever met!
I sat down at my drums, earnest to lay down the tracks..
I took a huge breath, turned on the click.. and started going at it.
Each song took about 5 or 6 takes.
As each song went by, i felt like i was pissing everyone off because i was taking a little more than they had wanted, haha. (took about an hour and a half altogether, you be the judge)
But I felt since this was the first recording with The Boys After, i at least wanted to sound DECENT. Afterall, these are only demo tracks, haha.
But lately, i've been drawing a lot of influence from Relient K's new cd, The Birds and the Beesides.
It rules.
Matt Thiessen never ceases to amaze me with his songs and his writing. I really wish I had a writing style like he did.

Blah, i dont know what im talking about anymore, haha
I got distracted by "marilyn manson ate my girlfriend" by Relient K, haha.
Crazy guys.

Also lately; i've been realizing i need to get out of my freaking house, and realizing that most of my friends are really fake to me and only hang out with me at THEIR convenience.. to me.. this is stupid and not how a friendship should work.
I put in 100% and get back about 30%.
Eff it, it's not really even worth it in my mind to keep trying and trying with some people.
Sometime i wanna say, screw you and leave them behind. But i know in my heart, i could never.

This is it for now..
Until next, jump for joy
