at home with my germs

I never remember how much being sick sucks until I'm sick. It's not too bad this time...just a head cold...but damn, it's shitty. I haven't been sick in so long. Probably the longest stretch in my life. I think because I was surfing a lot. And I haven't been recently. All the pre-holiday partying didn't help out either. It might be a blessing in disguise....I've decided to stay home with my germs and work on my music. That's always the plan, but it's amazing how distracting L.A. can be....

This Christmas (I'll be on the Road)

here's a brand new Christmas song for you....
I've been working on it a little bit each year for a few years now. I'll forget about then remember it around Christmastime.
Well I finally finished it this year. Hope you enjoy it.

I'm officially an adult

I really felt like an adult a few nights ago...
In the middle of a recording session with my friend Christopher, I took a break to take roscoe for a walk.
As I headed down the driveway towards puppy's favorite piss-patch, I noticed a camera flash go off behind me in the back parking area.

On my way back inside, I went back there to investigate.
I found a three rather drunk kids, probably 15 or 16 years old, laughing and drinking some of those alcoholic energy drinks. Just what a growing body needs.

I told them nicely they had to leave and they all apologized fifty times for trespassing. It reminded me of sneaking around with beer when I was that age....
Once they realized I wasn't going to call the cops on them, the one boy tried to find out just how nice I was....He was so scrawny and pimply, and had lots of shiny product in his hair to form perfect spikes. He asked me:

"Hey man, is it cool if we just hang out here for a minute? I can jam the rest of this so fast"
I had to laugh when he said that.
"Dude....I'm sorry, but you cannot jam that back here."

As much as the stupid teenager in me wanted to tell them to finish their drinks safely back there, the adult in me just wouldn't let that happen. So, if you're underage, don't hang out in my driveway drinking. You damn kids stay off my property!
