Facebook, Finances, Phalanges, and the Fabulosos Cadillacs

So it's been another month and this time, for real, a lot has been going on. I recently gave in to peer pressure and created a Facebook account. It has actually been pretty cool connecting with people I haven't talked to since high school.

I have also had to come to terms with my new deformity. I cut off a chunk of my left FU finger while cutting an onion. (see picture below) I apparently need to work on my knife wielding skills. I'm hoping it grows back thinner so as to increase my guitar fingering accuracy.

I also decided recently to put some money into the stock market. I have no experience nor proper understanding to make informed decisions... but it's fun. So far I've been making some OK money, (purely by luck).

In music news, I remembered a random song that Dave, this guy Jon, and I wrote in high school. Jon played the cello, so we invited him over to play with us one day. We wrote a song and probably never played it again, but for some reason it popped into my head while laying in bed. So I got up and started recording it. I don't have a cello, so i played what i could remember of Jon's part on the bass. I just have to put down the vocals. I'll try to post it soon. Also, Alonzo (from some of the songs in previous posts) moved back from Alaska and we plan to start writing together. I'll keep you all posted on that!

God, this is getting long, but one of my all time favorite bands Los Fabulosos Cadillacs recently reunited and are on tour. Jenny and I just went to see them last weekend up in L.A. It was glorious!!! Check them out if you like amazing songs. :)
