White Snake Moan

Had a very productive night/day. Found a fancy secret snowman location and played some drums today, did a run to Staples and revamped our merch for our upcoming shows, Worked on songs, filed paperwork, and read an article about Green Day in Guitar World while enjoying a coffee on Larchmont.

I'm writing a song about my grandparents who both passed away last year, 6 weeks apart from each other. It should be a sad thing writing about them but instead it's put me in quite the good mood. It's about when they were alive. It's a happy song, probably the catchiest of the bunch. The first time Mikey and I recorded in a semi-legit studio I was in 8th grade. I went over to visit them with our fresh new cassette tape and played them "Corner Junkie" while enjoying fruit snacks and Ssips iced tea. It started playing and Papa nodded his head as he tried to process what was coming through the speakers. Nanie gave me a big smile and said "That's you!!?". One time Papa asked me to teach him how to play guitar. I was honored. I strung up an old beater that was under my bed and showed him both the C and G chords, respectively. That's all you really need to know to play punk rock. Unfortunately he never started up "Bob and Hooligans", who I was prepared to manage and profit off.

Had a hard boiled egg for breakfast and a freakshow healthy "chicken" salad from the M Cafe for dinner. About to have some Bud Lights for dessert cause I'm classy. Oh and in case you're wondering, I had rock n roll for lunch.

Also, WTF is this?
