Tonight, tonight, tonight!

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Soooo i’ve been thinking about doing some redesigning of this site. But a lot of my co-workers are big fans of the being brandon pose up to the top left there… so I may just do some type of face lift on this here blog. I do use word press… so it might be interesting to dive further into the code than i already have. also,.. I use Akismet, its great. I used to get flooded with stinkin’ spam comments allllll the time, but not any more. finally my inbox on this guy has quieted down.
But tonight, i will not be doing the redesign, maybe sometime I can sit down and work on it. Tonight though, i plan on picking the guitar back up for the first time in a while and just jamming away.
And tomorrow. I plan on jumping back onto the working out train that i fell off while cat sitting. I think i’ll start running again, and get some more use out of the nike+ app. I have some goals on that thingy-ma-jiggy that are ending soon, so hopefully i can achieve those and keep on rocking.

Now lets reflect….
This past weekend: I had a bunch of friends down. 9 people to be exact, + me = 10. So we played some basketball, played some flag football, some more basketball, then everyone was awfully tired… so we just sat around my apt they drank and played some games. I stayed prettay sober so i could regulate. which was good, because our downstairs neighbors decided we were too loud, but had the cops relay that information to me. Then things settled down and it was bed time. Good weekend.

I told you all last time that i had created a movie on iMovie on my new ipad,.. and well i was a bit hesitant to show everyone,… cause it’s a bit embarrassing. BUT OH WELL. Its about my time cat sitting…. her name is Lanolin, here ya go:


The song is You’ve Got the Love by Florence + the Machine

ta-da! now ridicule me in the comments.

missed yesterday

So i got very busy, very quick, and sorry no one (that’s who reads my blog) for not updating you. But here I am, hockey season has started, I’ve launched some new pieces to the NHL section of espn’s site. but lets get back to updating….

I’ll just tell you where i am now
Weight: 172lbs.

NOT BAD RIGHT?!!?  Well i wanted to get down to 170ish by tomorrow, While I’m not there,.. I’m still eating better, and I think I may have just lost a lot of water weight so far.  Yesterday I ended up running 3 miles for my work out, and that was it.  I had a salad again for lunch, and kept healthy through the day.

Today though, i’m not going to the gym,… way too busy still and I’m taking tomorrow off to go to a wedding in syracuse on saturday.  I shall be bringing my work out clothes and hopefully doing some workout things and activities while there. Also I’m gonna go do this lil dangle on sunday: http://www.connorsfarm.com/.  Corn Mazeeee. could be fun.

Anyways, have a splendid day and I’ll check back in maybe sometime this weekend, if not then next week.  Until then, just follow me on the Twitter. AND PLAY SOME RENASCENT!!!

RENASCENT.

Monday, September 13th, 2010

I just wanted to send a lil message out for any one who views this to check out the newly renovated renascentmusic.com.  I just redid the site,.. since we aren’t much of a band any more, figured i’d take out everything and make it a big audio player.  Still working on adding some lyrics for a few songs, but yea… check it out, listen to some tunes!

Flossing.

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

I’m still doing it.  matter of fact today, i went alllll out.  Flossed, mouth wash, and a full 2 minutes of brushing.  I’ve got a dentist appt. coming up this month so i want my mouth to look goooooood.   here’s what else is happening when it comes to my new years resolutions.
- posting: here i am. nuff said.
- eating healthy: whoops.  i’ll expand,… as of 8/18 i was at a bachelor party on a lake in NH.  didn’t eat that well, but not that bad either.  lots of hamburgers and eggs.  but possibly too much beer.  Then i
- working out: welp.  i haven’t done much since that bachelor party, though i was active then.  But after that i’ve taken a bit of a hiatus from the gym, though i brought my stuff to work finally and will be working out today. i promise.
- money: I’m a impulse buyer. its tough,… i just bought this sweet chair though,….  Swingasan Chair.  It’s pretty dopetacular.

So that’s the update.  Also fun time cleaning up and decorating my room led to this lil guy: bedroom wall picture.  It’s a very blurry photo cause i took it in the dark so you could see the sweet lights behind the tapestry.  Makes the sun look like it’s shining, right?  then i hung my guitars up on the wall, thinking about taking the futon i have out of my room and putting that swingasan chair in there.  Also i bought a sweet new desk at Ikea.  that place is quite an experience.  But anyways, I got a nice large black glass table top for my desk, which has allowed me to set up everything on it, including my recording equipment…. so maybe more stuff can be added to the music section now.  yippie.  Also got a lil nightstand.

But that’s it for now.  Stay tuned for some possible good news next time.

Quick Post

Some great damien rice songs,… i don’t believe there are actual studio recordings for these, so here they are live.
Give them a listen,…

This next one has two songs,… first one is called Sand and you should definitely listen to it. The second one is Delicate which does has a studio recorded version,.. but hey, it was a twofer, and its a great version anyways.

And finally the last one with a lil Damien and Ray LaMontagne covering a BeeGees song. If you don’t know Ray LaMontagne then its about that time you YouTube him.

There done for the night.  I hope you enjoyed the music, or atleast listened to it.  Good Night and yes, i am still flossing.

P.O.S – Never Better

Monday, September 21st, 2009

So this is a new type of post,… its all about this cd from P.O.S called never better. I put up some videos once of him, 3 to be exact. Each video is of a song off this record. If you like those songs, you will not be disappointed. Also, this cd is probably the first cd I have legally owned in a few years now. So I’m just trying to convince all of you out there to listen to this cd. It’s pure talent. It’s a hip hop album, but its not the pop hip hop you hear out on the radio. This music comes straight from the heart. It’s truth, that’s the best way to put it. You’re not gonna hear these songs at your favorite night club, they aren’t meant for that crowd. If you want to hear some hip hop music made with feelings and raw emotion then this is the album for you. P.O.S makes the music he wants to make, not the music the general population wants to hear. Its creative, new, and fresh. I’m a huge fan if you can’t tell. So I suggest buying this album from iTunes or another online music store. Hands down my favorite hip hop album I own.

Here’s another video, it’s not from the Never Better cd, but it is P.O.S with Slug from another one of my fav groups, Atmosphere.

some sweet videos + songs from P.O.S

Music for ya!

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Thought I’d pick a song out for you peeps to check out.  It’s called Cannonball by Damien Rice.  I would have put the actual music video for it, but the one that youtube is saying is the ‘official’ music video kinda creeps me out…. its just random images, one of which i’m pretty sure is fecies…. yikes!  Anyways, enjoy this beautiful song:
