there is life here.
-------------------------------
i'm probably older than you think i am. i love to travel.
i spend my time going to shows, writing music, and doing graphic design for a living. i've seen the scene ebb and flow, but i'm not going anywhere. more than a decade here and hardcore and music is still my family.
i am currently playing bass/guitar/electronics in a post-rock band called analecta. i also play guitar and do vocals for an hardcore band called Chin Up! with my "free" time i write and record solo material under the moniker In The Absence Of Dreaming.

DOES ANYONE ELSE MAKE SCENARIOS IN THEIR HEAD OF THEM DATING SOMEONE AND HAVING THE PERFECT RELATIONSHIP AND DOING CUTE...

Traitor - Loathe
I swallow glass to silence feeble words
for they speak the mind of another.
It is something like madness
that wills this existence,
forsaking order and rational thought.The tumultuous roar of the struggle within
has deafened me.
I drown in its turmoil.My reflection, I no longer recognize.
It is only a face of scarred grief imprisoned.
It cannot be my own.I don’t want to live like this.

sometimes i am too self-important.
i think this may be true of everyone who has ever existed.
it is, to some extent, human nature to act as though life is a film in which you are the primary player. but none of us are.
we are afraid of in-consequence.
and no matter what we may say… we are afraid of how people view us and what they may say behind our backs.
we are afraid that our existence will not matter in the long run.
afraid of being forgotten.
afraid of just being a pawn, a cog in the machine.
so we act out.
we cry for attention.
i don’t know that there is ever truly an escape from that mentality.
they bottled Toby Morse! YOU BASTARDS!
Steady Hands - Heirloom
Damn my soul
I’ve tried to hold my own
But all I did was fall
Damn my soul
Just damn it all
You can have what’s left of me
Because there’s not much left at all
(via steadyhandsband)
getting the stink eye from random indie kids out in public that i NEVER EVER see at local shows just pisses me off.
are you too good to support local music?
get over yourselves.
keep running into situations lately where people seem to think post-rock bands need vocals.
no.
they don’t.
we are playing our first show in our hometown as a 2-piece tonight!
come hang out!

xspunj13x Said:
11: Have you ever climbed a tree more than twenty feet off the ground?
no. i’m afraid of heights, actually. i’d probably freak out.
12: Did you like swinging as a child? Do you still get excited when you see a swing set?
i did enjoy swinging, BUT… i enjoyed jumping off the swings more. i’ve always had a thing for… jumping off of things.
35: If you had to move to another country, where would you move?
most likely? the british isles. perhaps ireland. i’m terrible at languages and would probably be best suited to a country that spoke english.
43: Coolest thing you’ve ever been for Halloween?
my parents were very… anti-halloween growing up. so i have never trick-or-treated or anything. BUT… my last band did enjoy a good halloween show and one year we had three in a row. so we made it as epic as we could. all four of us dressed correspondingly:
day 1: zombies
day 2: mimes (we didn’t even speak on stage. we made signs for anything we were going to say.)
day 3: a black metal band.
#deadinthedirt at Reggie’s in Chicago. totally worth the drive out there. #xvx
because tonight:
Dead In The Dirt, Rotten Sound and Enabler in Chicago. even though it’s at Reggies.
mostly just stoke for DITD. the other bands playing are just a bonus.
