You like Will Farrall movies and you're criticizing William Burroughs..?

I’d rather watch Will Farrell’s asshole gape as he squats over my face and shits on my chin then pretend to like the things I’m told to.

Been fucking around with double exposure lately, and I’m particularly proud of these pictures.

Throwing stones You shattered the patina Inconsiderate fuck They all want the same As they bob and sway Give me more of the same In a rhythmic way.

Also, I do a podcast with some of my best friends where we force ourselves to watch dogshit movies and then we review them. There are worst ways to kill an hour, so check out this episode where we review Little Man.

General musings, 4-10-2016

What would we do without parking lots?

General routines to hold us down

A paperweight we can rely on

Something for me to sink my teeth into.

I don’t update this nearly as much as I would like, going to try to make an effort to do that more as the summer approaches. With school taking up most of my life as of late, I feel like I’m neglecting my creative outlets. However, I still keep writing songs and lyrics, taking pictures. Maybe I’m just telling myself I’m not productive.

It’s been a constant cycle of change for me, and it feels like it’s been this way for the past 3 years. It’s probably why I don’t have the effort for inconsistent people.

I released an EP last month under my Rosary moniker that I’m quite fond of. For fans of ambient and electronic music, I’ll attach the link below. Also, very excited for the future of Charles Rogers. New members, and a general sense of renewal. 4 day tour at the end of the May plus many other shows, and already planning on recording in June.

PSA for everyone seeing civil war early: PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL CIVIL WAR FOR ANYONE!!!!! If not for their sake, for your own, because if you start spreading civil war spoilers on this website you will most likely not survive the experience.

I've been in bands since I was about 16, and while it feels cliche to say that music defines me, I'd be lying to myself if I didn't come to terms with the fact that music makes up a huge part of my life. It's a reference point for people, a lot of times they recognize me or categorize me based on the fact that I'm a musician. It colors and mutates a lot of areas of my life, with some overwhelmingly positive results and some negative ones too. Anyways, the formation of Rosary came during a time in my life where I was musically and artistically frustrated, more so than I had ever been. I had moved away, wasn't in a consistent band, hadn't found people yet who shared my same desire and vision, and therefore I was in a rut. The schema in which I existed in (for better or worse) of being a musician was slowly losing it's meaning, and I knew I had to give it new life. And so, one rainy day walking home from class, I said fuck it and decided to do something about it. From that proclamation to myself came Rosary, an ambient/electronic project of mine. The songs created for it are made completely opposite to how I write songs for other projects. Many times I find myself cobbling together songs from various pieces and remnants I find, something that was, and is to a degree today, completely foreign to me. But stepping outside of my comfort zone, confining myself to only a laptop and whatever else I can get my hands out, that environment truly forces me to be on my creative toes. And because of that, I often end up surprising myself. Anyways, this song is called Might. It's featured on my first EP under the Rosary moniker. Enjoy.

Weather Bureau Says Trees to Bloom in Three Weeks

Are you even true to what you say?

Reactionary spewing of dialogue

Most of it stuck, didn’t wanna admit

That it held any weight

I erected pillars in my name

But then I lied on the location

I was trying to save face

I was trying to save face

A couple more

Florescent lights should do the trick

Couldn’t make it easy on myself

Even if I tried

A corsage of thorns

Around your wrist

Did you know what you were getting

When you signed up for this?

But for real Socrates was like a lot of years back how does anyone know what kind of fucking poison he drank?

It’s a common misconception that he drank hemlock to end his life.

Archeologists now believe he ate Olive Garden.

how do i turn my lizard brain off?

You don’t. You manage it and laugh at it when it gets loud, like its your Trump obsessive high school friend on Facebook.
