Espers… Vague Visions.

So Let’s have a little thought here, WHat is it that makes memories memories?

Something, or some event that was effective enough upon one’s self to make a lasting impact.

Let’s look at the dictionary definition now:

mem·o·ry play_w2(“M0212600″) (mm-r)n. pl. mem·o·ries

1. The mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experience.

2. The act or an instance of remembering; recollection: spent the afternoon lost in memory.

3. All that a person can remember: It hasn’t happened in my memory.

4. Something remembered: pleasant childhood memories.

5. The fact of being remembered; remembrance: dedicated to their parents’ memory.

6. The period of time covered by the remembrance or recollection of a person or group of persons: within the memory of humankind.

Hmm… I don’t think any of those really captures what a memory really is.  They all lack a certain something, Emotional explanation. Unless something had some large impact on your life and that’s why you remember it, could it really be called a memory? well I don’t really want to talk about what a memory is really tho, I got off subject to an extent. I want to focus more on some I have and regrets…

Well So Latley I have been thinking a lot about the past. What is the past but a recolection of time frames put together into signals sent throughout the brain and body triggering a mental, emotional and physical response.  Some make you feel sad and sometimes you feel happy and yet others make everything seem to disappear. man I used to love exploring different emotional responses, but lately they all seem to lead eventually into sadness or depression. It seems this world is hard wiring us all to inevitably end up on the lower end of the emotional spectrum, as if everything we encounter will eventually lead us to sadness. Idk.. I cant talk about this right now. I need to work on this later.. so.. yeah…

What’s on my Soundwaves

Here is some of the Music and artists playing on my airwaves:

1. Anti-Flag, These guys seriously are amazing, they are almost ideal people for children to have as role models. pacifistic in ways, believe in being true, and question things instead of just accepting all the lies you’re told everyday. The people in the band are realyl rad and nice, Chris #2 Is a awesome dude.

2. Street Dogs, These guys are great, they are nice and fun to talk with and be around, met them at a show and got a hug from the bass player and Knuck’s from the lead singer who was Also the lead singer of the dead kennedys.

3. NOFX, Maybe not the best role-models, not even close, but these guys are hilarious with a strong sense of loyalty to each-other. These guys have been a favorite for sometime.

4. +44, THis band is great, Mark Hoppus is a personal hero of Mine, and I feel he has a very unique Singing style. THe +44 sound is kinda like listening to half of blink-182, but without the high pitched odd vocals of Tom delonge. Which brings me to my next band.

5. Angels & Airwaves: Ahh! This band is great, with a 80’s Feel mixed in with U2, and then add the originality of Tom Delonge and you have a recipe for great music. And Finally…

6. Blink – 182, This band have been a favorite for years, there has rarely been a time where I went for more than a few days without listening and singing out an entire album. I miss these guys a lot, and i regret never going to see them live, i think that would be a dream come true.

Calming The Public.

This is the First full release of a Poison Studios DVD in many many long years, so we are calling this our official First DVD release.

I can’t give away very many details about this yet as it is far too early, but what I can say, is this Intro that was released Today at 10:30 Central time, Is amazing!

Current Projects, Keepin you updated

4. Life tears me up:

A coming Of age tale, brought to you solely by, Me, James Poison. Now playing at your local Emotional Rollercoaster.

On a bit of a less work oriented note, I have noticed my creativity coming back, her eis part of a conversation with a good friend of mine:

The only reason I have a big imagination is, I have finally just been being able to tear it back open. High-School was a cultural waste land of death when it came to free thought and opinion, and now that I am out of there and graduated, I can finally think again, for myself, without their censored views of reality clouding their own and everyone else’s perception.

Crackpipes, Needles, PCP, and fast cars.

Well so here I am. Last Night I filmed a show for a local Donation run business called Somewhere Else. The Band that played there was this band from out of state called The Screaming TeaPots. They were really good. After I filmed the show I figured i should get some interviews from all the members of the band, being seven in total. Well the “venue” decided to order pizza for the band, me and all the remaining fans that were hanging out.  So after the interviews and conversing with all the of the members of the band, I ended up eating pizza with them. A member of the band and me ended up getting into a discussion on being a freegan. Well basically what this is, is “if it is free, I eat it.” That is what he said, and i thought about that for a few seconds and realized, I am also a freegan, and then he made the comment, “I love such a simple life” and it made me think a bit, what if that’s how everything was, Like.. free, and we didn’t have to worry about where to sleep or where we could eat next..

but that’s beside the point. Basically i just wanted to say, I had a blast last night, and met some really Rad people. and well Thanks, we had a goo discussion and stuff.. it was fun. hope to do it again soon.
