Now, we missed the 12/12 street date BUT the disc will be READILY available next week! And yes…that is the cover you see there. On another note…Numbs now consists of four active members…Gunnar McKell, Rooster, Shanty and Myself. If you don’t program yourself, life will program you…We will be performing at the CAPO show on December 31st in Utah County and we will be SLANGIN’ the CD’s there, come and find us.

9 To 5: My new schedule is KICKIN’ and I LOVE not working on Mondays. The higher ups here seem to be taking my input and running with it. Do they care about what I have to say? Genius is as common as dirt.

Day 2 Day: I have been neglecting my Xmas shopping in order to wrap up this CD. I have ordered A LOT of the gifts people from THE NET. Amazon should give me a kickback or something. I went roller skating and about cracked my skull open on the disco floor (I’m no SUCKA, I didn’t spill…PSYKE!) . I’m still doing the veggie thing (4 months strong!) and the only thing I crave time to time is the BABY BACK RIBS. The “Gardenburger” brand makes a good pseudo riblet so I get by with that. The world is crazy man…they are sending more troops to Iraq (Allegedly), A Spy was killed over a dossier, A guy shoots his four kids and then himself, lost hikers, Edwards throws his name in for 08’ and still no OBAMA bid yet, bad meat, bad veggies. I’m not looking for a solution. I don’t think there is one. A wise man once said…Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

One love…DAG!

Current Likes: Dove chocolates (EFF YOU HERSHEY!), Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops on PSP, Apocalypto and Finishing another music project this year (2005: Make A Face, 2006: Nfinity, 2007: ?).

Dislikes: Facing the music, spilling soda, Craigslist monotony and Bad Star Wars and Reindeer games.

DAGO'S WEEK IN REVIEW


It's that time again...

Numbs: Tomorrow should be the final nail in the coffin for “Nfinity”. One more night night of mixing and mayhem at AP’s! Once it is done and we have settled on a cover (the picture you see here IS a cover, not THE cover) I will go ahead and POST the track listing. I cannot believe it…we are going to hit the 12/12 street date that is in the SLUG ad. Still no word from Gunnar, I hope he is well. The CAPO guys are throwing a GIGANTIC New Years Eve Party at the Mc Kay Events center in Orem and have asked us to play. Last year there were 9,000 peeps at this thing…however, we don’t know if we can do it based on what’s going on with Zen One. Personally, I’d like to do it (HUGE opportunity) but we need to make sure our house is in order first before we play out again. I’ll go into my feelings about the new LP in detail after I have heard it… in it’s entirety with all the songs sequenced together how they should be. So far I am getting a positive vibe.

9 to 5: I have a new schedule…I work Thursday-Sunday and I am off Monday-Wednesday. I report to a guy named Mike who reminds me of early CRE “Ron” which is a good thing. He asks me for input on what goes bad and what goes good…he actually seems to care and I’m not sure how to take this. Maybe he is trying to figure out where I stand or maybe he really wants to improve things? Either way, my 10-4 attitude is making life a whole lot better over there. Anything is to be expected.

Day 2 Day: Elektra asked me today if Bruce Willis is still alive? I think she was checking to make sure he would be doing the voice over work for R.J. in “Over The Hedge 2”…if they make one. I made a mistake on NOT taking her to the studio last week. She told me over the phone that she didn’t feel “important” to me. It made me bawl, HARD. I can’t believe she would think that? That is HEAVY for a 6 year old to be thinking that at all. I admit I get wrapped up in LIFE with my music, my jobby job, relationship, family, etc. We ALL balance a lot of things but I have to start making it a priority to point out that my life would NOT be full without her in it. We went to the Mayan tonight to watch the cliff divers and polish off “The Volcano”. She put the finishing touches on my Xmas Tree “Silver and Gold 2006”. I hugged her when it was done and told her it was PERFECT.

I haven’t made a Xmas list yet. People are asking me what I want…it’s a good question. I mean everything that I have basically “wanted” as far as material goods I have picked up myself thru the year (Xbox 360, random games, miscellaneous CD’s, shirts, hoodies, jeans, etc). I am kinda clueless as to what I really need. Maybe I will make a completely asinine request slip and give it to all parties with obtuse and elite purchases on it. Think of it as a “Scavenger Hunt” Christmas. It sounds good in principle and it would be funny as hell to see if they could get all the items on the list but then I would be left holding the bag o’ ISHT. A bag of stuff I don’t need in the first place. I’m undecided.

Peace-DAG!

Current Likes: The “Holiday” scented pine cones at Michael’s, The Utah Jazz (play Milsap 30 minutes a game and he will be the rookie of the year), Marvel’s Ultimate Alliance on PSP, “The Fountain”…even though I still haven’t recovered & waking up rested with Jack, Blackie, Mousey and Kdawg surrounding me.

Dislikes: People leaving movies during the movie they picked and paid for (Is it because Tim Allen wasn’t in it?), Getting used to having my cheese moved at my work (it’s a metaphor), The camouflage pattern that is emerging on my carpet & food hidden away in my crisper (cure for cancer, maybe?).

SUPERHERO OF THE WEEK

Iron Fist (Daniel "Danny" Rand) is a fictional superhero martial artist in the Marvel Universe. Plunging his fists into the molten heart of Shou-Lao the Undying gave Rand the power of the Iron Fist, allowing him to focus his chi and enhance his natural abilities to extraordinary levels. His strength, speed, reflexes and senses can all be intensified, making his already formidable martial arts skills even more so. The ultimate expression of this focus is the ability to concentrate his body's natural energies into his hand, manifesting as a supernatural glow around his clenched fist, making his fist "like unto a thing of iron." So concentrated, this "iron fist" can smash into its target with superhuman hardness and impact. However, the feat of summoning the power required leaves Rand physically and mentally drained, unable to repeat the act for a time.

Other applications of the Iron Fist power include the ability to focus the energy inward to heal himself or outward to heal others of injury, as well as being able to telepathically meld with another person's mind.

In 2006, Iron Fist appears in an ongoing series, The Immortal Iron Fist, co-written by Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction with art by David Aja. Posted by Picasa

GANOOSH!

Was eating the apple in the Garden of Eden justified? If I knew how this would all turn out, I'd be more than happy to be dead and in Heaven right now. Maybe…we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves. I might have stated this before but a moment is the most you can ever expect from perfection. Your one perfect moment won't last forever.

DAGO's week in review coming VERY soon...Music is time consuming. Posted by Picasa
