The Bottom Line

Short story about the events leading up to the comeback of vocalist, Robbie (myself), of a previously extremely successful rock band group called "The Bottom Line", who's drummer died of a cocaine overdose 10 years prior - at the peak of their success. Now alone and deep into his own addictions and financial problems, a surprise visit from his ex-girlfriend inspires him to do everything possible to get her back. Will he succeed or is it too little too late?

Apparently my last message worked - people actually read this...Thank you

facebook friends

dear user
why do u have to be friends with everyone i know on fb?
why do i always see u in common friends (when ur really not friends with them)?
do you have to ruin my perception of my closest friends by association?
aren't your own friends good enough? do you not have any?
i wonder why that is...
i find myself resentful of you, with feelings i wasnt aware of before...
...but resonate now
u disgust me

birthday parties

i believe it only makes sense to celebrate your birthday after it happened...
that is to say, if your birthday is in 2 days, why celebrate it today? what if something happens?..."no we celebrated rob's 90th on monday, unfortunately he never actually made it to 90..."
isn't it more joyful to celebrate it after it happens, like if it were an achievement? - cuz im takin thats what the buzz is all about, right?
so in essence, it makes more sense to celebrate your birthday a month after it happened, than a week before
who actually cares about the date - "no it needs to be sunday at midnight, i dont care if people have to get up early on monday...it is of the utmost importance...if you cant make it, you're not my friend...no my bday is actually monday at 1.35pm, but i need to celebrate it now!"
i think ill celebrate mine a year after it happens - this way i can preserve my eternal youth!
ciao!

mn

sometimes when i travel it makes me feel out of place
not that i dont enjoy it, i actually like spending time with myself and stuff
but its also nice to be on the inside
maybe not too inside, here its like -20 outside right now, its crazy
but then again the cold makes me appreciate the warm

i really dont like talking about the weather
its best summed up by the Dos X beer ad:
"he never talks about the weather"
as an interesting individual, which i consider myself to be - i aspire to do the same

that said,
good night and good luck

new number

i dont understand why people get offended that I dont know exactly who they are just because they send a formal text message saying this is their new number. shit like im supposed to know - if you're gonna get offended then dont mass text...calling would eliminate all sorts of confusion - or better yet, texting your new number from your old one. moreover if you tell me your name give me first AND last, unless u know for a fact that your name is so unique that the chance of me getting it wrong is null. also, the cool thing about giving full names is that it makes you "facebook-able" in the amazing world we all live in today - this way (especially if i just met you), we can officially be friends

cheers to you!

freestyle friday

im new to this blogging thing
not sure what its for
im getting into the acting thing
through the front and back door
i usually do better vocally
especially if it were tonight
we call it freestyle friday baby
my boy nate can rap all right

leave it to the magician to get everything done
we all know id love to spend days in the sun
my friends they all tell me that they wanna come
but they cant cuz L.A. isnt made for the dumb, huh
yea that's right
keep you're pants on tight
before we get in a fight
and get sued the next night
cuz its a war ring of times, let the mice make their rhymes
and the girls, they're all fly, but need 5 for the ride
cuz that stuff that we like, its all way overpriced
pay 380 for brand that they make out in haiti
when really it could go for another CD workshop baby

many may discuss how shit must get done
but this the land of opportunity, Ill show you mine is the one
they say its all about friends, when its really the show
if we do the former it all goes really slow
check my youtube, my twitter, my face, and my space
why so many them?- its a fucking disgrace
so many have dreams to see their face in the space
but only a few will make it, its a tough race to place
its crazy you'll fuck to have time under light
but its really about art, the fame goes overnight

goodnight
