new post, to bring you up to speed.

so yeah, its been a minute since ive written anything...
i mean, what do you expect?
job, baby boy, radio show... rinse, lather, repeat...
the radio show has surpassed any notions i had of
what it was going to be... we've already had a list of people
calling in, and access to our local scene that only sioux falls
could offer us.

i mean, not that i wouldnt have something to say if i sat down
and updated this page real quick...

my son can roll over... not like a dog mind you, like a little boy.
its enough to write a book about, but im sure i wont.

anyway, theres been so much stuff going on its a blur.
i spend a lot of time in as much direct artist contact as humanly possible
locally, and nationally on some fronts.

so i feel like we have been given a really sweet chance to do something
we both like (myself and my cohort jj doze) and in turn get ears to hear
really good stuff that they might not be able to hear otherwise...

another thing that dawned on me is that with a four hour a week show,
and a lot more hours a week getting it together... having a platform to
say whatever i want, within reason apparently. (i finally got the talking to
re: my language, but only after literally dropping a fuck bomb on air)

anyway, thats my shit.
diligent = out.

new blog (12-01-09)

its been a few weeks since ive had the time to sit down and write anything of substance for this blog effort... but i find myself choked to death with content at this point, so im just gonna let it rip.

my life up until a year ago has been nothing but folly, foibles and fuck ups... its not self hate... its reality. i have burned so many bridges and screwed so many people that have genuinely been down for me that its pathetic. i look at the first 34 years of my life with a good amount of disdain. i dont know why i made the choices i have in life... but it has brought me to a point of understanding that i havent been able to reach in those first 34 years. i feel the weakest i ever have, at a time when i really need to be at my strongest.

long story short, after what i sincerely hope was one last bender (at the heiruspecs show 11-21-09). i decided to quit drinking, smoking pot, and being the general immature piece of garbage that ive been my entire life up until recently. before i met my girlfriend, i didnt have a reason to be anything other then the old man that i was... i had always thought that "leaving las vegas" was the way i wanted to die, and at times, welcomed the idea with open arms... now things are different, and they are different enough that i can honestly say (even though i had dabbled with AA meetings countless times before) that i want to change those things in me... and the only way i can do that is by adhering to those principles, and integrating them into my life as a lifestyle, and adopting the ideas that they have to offer me.

for the longest time i would have been horrified to admit that to anyone. i realized tonight that the reason i was so afraid to do that was because i never really wanted to be sober. well friends, i am over that. if you dont respect me for the choices i am making... theres the fucking door. i no longer have time for fair weather friends, half steppers and funk fakers. i sincerely hope that those of you who claim to be down for me... will remain in my corner and support me in my new life. i have much more to consider in my life then my stupid agenda. (see picture)

i guess i just needed to get that off my chest. i am pretty sure that this blog wont turn into an AA meeting, and i definitely dont want to come off like a holier then thou ass face or a buzzkill. you all can do what you do... but for me, its time to grow up and be the man i need to be for my future wife, and my little man... and i really do hope you can support that.

Strange Things Afoot at the Circle K...

so just thought a little update would be in order, since thats kind of the point of my blog. i hate starting something and leaving it by the wayside after a week or two, so ive chosen not to do so. at least for today.

my homie TUREIGN is going down to vermillion to do a show, and if everything goes according to plan, i will be going with him. not to perform (not quite yet anyway), but to show the support that i feel he deserves... its what im all about.

re: my radio program.

things are going so much better than i had hoped. basically, as some of you know, for the last month, ive been blessed enough to be able to do a self produced show that focuses on indy/underground/non-mainstream rap and hiphop. i really didnt expect it to become a nationwide thing, but when the thought occured to me the other day: it already has. people from all over the country have been sending me tracks of theirs to play, people are calling in to request amazing music, and the internet provides me with tons of great people willing to point me in directions i may not have considered. so i def have to drop a shout to those cats:

tyler@abovegroundmagazine.com
all the dames@lovefestonline
EVERYONE@lethalville.net
and all those artists and fans on twitter who make my life interesting. @akream @solzilla @cubrock @mac_lethal @soulcrate @n2dfx @kylelucas @grynch206 @cristabell @shallowlikeyou @izzie11 @econinja @jamee86 @profstophouse @stpaulslim @rahzwell @aesoprockwins @dj_sku @thinkevade @bcbizzy @sketchtc @scholarman @capnmidnite

i could go on and on... but i wont... if you twitter... follow these cats!

anyway, thats the short version of a long story that my life has been in the last few weeks!

My beerfest experience

would have never happened if it was for three people specifically...
down ass BCR cousins, who made sure i didnt have to get stuck left behind.

@bcbizzy @thinkevade @n2dfx

everyone at the riot room was amazing, and if i took the time to think of it, i could remember most of you by name (if not by your lethalville name)... right down to the bouncer, who tried to card me the second night, only to back peddle and say "well... ya know i had to give you a little shit..."

but without nick, dave and heidi... i wouldnt have even left the sioux falls metro area.

so i HAVE to give mad love and props to the cousins who made it happen for me...

im doing my best to reparate... hang tight.
