Yeah I know, it’s been a couple months. Fuck it, what can i say? I’ve been busy. Unfortunately not busy with music but busy paying bills. I moved to Vallejo, had my freelance web design business collapse, took a straight job, and I’ve been working 50+ hours a week ever since. Between that and working on my new place (we just found out that several of the beams under our kitchen floor are rotten and need to be replaced) I haven’t really had time to do much with my music. My band hasn’t even gotten together to practice in a month and a half, though that’s as much to do with other people being busy as it is me.
Basically, it’s getting to the point where if I can’t figure out a way to make at least part of my living off my music I’m going to need to walk away. Not that I’d stop rapping – that won’t happen till i’m dead and buried – but the whole recording / releasing / promoting thing takes a lot of time and energy and I just plain don’t have the resources to keep pouring money into it if I can’t do better then breaking even. With luck there will be a new Beltaine’s Fire Album coming later this year, we had half of it written and recorded before life forced us to take an extended break, but from there I’ve honestly got no idea what the future holds.
Hope ya’ll are well and are making the most out of this new year,

A Crazy Month
Posted on July 24, 2009
hey folks,
Ya’ll may have noticed that I haven’t been writing much here for a quick minute now. I’ve had a crazy (good crazy) month working on my new house and getting things fixed up. On the 10th of this month Laura and I bought a 2 bedroom house up in vallejo. The place is cool but was kind of fucked up because the previous owner ran a dog training school out of the backyard and so the carpets were all trashed and the yard was full of makeshift kennels that had to be demolished and ripped out. Once we get it all cleaned and fixed up though the place is going to be awesome, we’ve even got a giant room in the back to set up a full home recording studio and throw house parties. So that’s been eating all my time and will probably eat most of my free time for a while to come.
