I really hate when bars spell two for one drinks "2 4 1" drinks or something like that. it makes me want to tie tnt to their families and piss on them before I blow them the fuck up.
today I hit my head really hard, got dizzy, and fell asleep for two hours. |

I'm dead.. ok... so maybe not. I haven't had internet in weeks. I decided to move into a house with my ex roomate/new girlfriend Torey. It's a very nice house.. Enough room to where we don't have to see each other all the time if we don't want to. And that is a good thing. Too much time with any one person is evil.. like.. well...... feet. feet are evil. kinda like how my desk ate my water bottle. fuck that guy. but yeah. i never have time to see anyone now because i work so much. i really really hate it. the job is easy and all.. but i miss my friends. a whole lot.l and when i'm not working, i'm sitting around not wanting to move because i've been working so much. so fuck a hard drive.. which is what i bought myself today cause my music computer died. know what else died? heat.. yes sir. it's gone. i'm cold as hell. time to turn on the heater. |

| fucking phone |
[Sep. 5th, 2007|02:24 pm] |
Last night I took torey to the house where she washes her clothes. I walked her in and by the time I made it back out to my car.. no less than two minutes later.. it was obvious that someone had been in there. Everything in my middle console and cup holders was all over the place. And my phone was missing.. Sooo yeah. There goes another phone. I've been fucked in the ass with a fork. And it wasn't that fun.
I love and hate Jacqueline's new producer. He's into all the music I like. We could talk about Yes and Pink Floyd all day. But sadly, when it comes down to business, he's all about what sells. FUCK THAT! I don't think Pink Floyd was ever worried about being a top ten teen sensation. This business has gone to hell. I don't need a producer that tells half the band to quit eating fast food and hit the gym. AHHHHH!! These people make me want to vomit green blood. I wish I was a wombat. |

| My tornado dreams |
[Jul. 1st, 2007|12:04 pm] |
These dreams are getting much much worse all of a sudden. They have gone from just me running from a tornado, to a storm that will end the world. The tornados are now accompanied by nuclear war and huge fuck off tidal waves. so i have been reading about what these dreams could mean.
"Storm Dream Meaning
Psychological Meaning: A storm may indicate emotional conflict or turmoil within you. It may indicate anger or frustration that lacks an outlet.
Mystical Meaning: Superstition says that this is an obstacle dream that indicates separation from what you desire. If your house is damaged by a storm, people with evil intention are nearby."
" To dream that you are in a tornado, signifies that you are feeling overwhelmed and out of control. You will be met with a series of disappointments for the next week or so. Your plans will be filled with complications.
To see several tornadoes in your dream, represent people around you who are prone to violent outbursts and shifting mood swings. It may also symbolize a volatile situation or relationship. "
"End: The dream may also be asking you to make a choice. The end of something also signals the beginning of something new. "
"Escape
To dream that you escape from jail or some place of confinement, signifies your need to escape from a restrictive situation or attitude. On the other hand, it may mean that you are taking an escapist attitude and are refusing to face up to problems that are not going away. "
and finally..
"Apocalypse
To dream of the apocalypse, signifies an emotional and dramatic change taken place within. The dream may also indicate the end of one kind of lifestyle and the beginning of another."
For those of you who know me best know that this shit is mostly spot on. It was kinda disturbing to read all of this. |

| Chicago |
[Jun. 14th, 2007|01:02 am] |
Fuckers. So yeah. I'm leaving for Chicago friday! Finally! I started out yesterday with $0. But I worked my ass off doing yard work for random people and begging for change on the streets and then going to coin star. yes.. Now.. i'm a monkey with 6 nachos and a gut full of desk. What are you going to do about it? Soooooo yeah...
It's been getting better since Laura has been gone. We now meet online every night at nine and throw digital rocks. I'm going to pick her up when I get back from Chicago and take her to the last farmhouse show. I have 46 toes
There is another Otherfest in Clevland this year. I want in. I'm drunk.. give me a paint can. |
|
|
| shit |
[Jun. 4th, 2007|01:45 am] |
|
I feel sick. Laura is moving away in the morning. I have put it in the back of my mind since the day i heard it. But for the first time tonight, it really hit me. And hit me hard. I'm not taking it too well either.. this sucks bad. |
|
|
| Lots of stuff |
[May. 30th, 2007|06:54 pm] |
I have two new songs from my album Signals up on myspace now. http://www.myspace.com/waltbusby. Please check it out.
Sooo yeah. Lightning bugs have started to show up in Clarksdale this week for the first time this year. mmmm.. i likes to eat them and make my belly glow. The jubilee is this weekend. That means Laura is about to move. Arg!!! I'm going to go bat shit insane. give me a dollar? |

| Tool and Finished album |
[May. 15th, 2007|03:13 pm] |
The album is done. I guess I could have worked on it a few more months to get it sounding like a more pro studio album.. but then I would never have time to practice, write new songs, or do anything like that.. so fuck it.. it's done. Now i just need album art.
And in other news, I'm going to see tool tonight. This is going to be quite willlld. |
|
|
| At last |
[May. 3rd, 2007|04:32 am] |

The album is mixed! Now all i have to do is master it. Then I will dominate all life in the toilet. sooo yeah. Memphis in May is this weekend. If it keeps raining like this i'll never be able to make enough money to go.. Fucking rain. Go bite a window! fucker. |
|
|
| Mixing |
[Apr. 30th, 2007|03:02 am] |
It's been quite a productive weekend. I've worked so hard that i managed to get most of the album mixed. I did run into quite of a problem at one point. As I was working on the song "Time Machine" i somehow managed to delete all the vocals. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! So I came home last night from the the Pink Floyd tribute show I went to see.. drunk as hell.. and some how pulled off re-recording the vocals in less than an hour. Soo yeah. It's almost done!!!
Now.. about this Pink Floyd tribute show. It was so amazing to see a band like that coving some many floyd songs. Sadly they only played the hit. Not one pre-dark side song was in their set. I asked the singer if they did any songs from the Saucerful of Secrets album and he had no idea what I was talking about. Guess i might be too much a Floyd freak. hmmm.. tooth |
|
|
| DONE!!!! |
[Apr. 26th, 2007|04:32 am] |
As of tonight.. or this morning.. whatever you want to call it............... I'm finished recording all the songs for my album. Now comes the hard part. Mixing and mastering. I'm hoping this won't take me more than two weeks. But if you know me, you know how picky I am about this kind of stuff. That's why I brought my trusty fire stick along. To blow your fucking head off. Man, it's been a long nine months since I've started recording this thing. And a long five years writing it. Yes that's right. Two of the songs on the album are songs i've been working on since I was 17. But I think i've finally gotten them right this time. It would be a shame to let such great songs go to waste like so many of my songs are doing right now.
In other news.. This chick named Robin Rushing is giving my friend Sebo and I tickets to see Tool. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and shit. That's really all I can say.. Well that and i'm not a blanket. I'm a bee. And I'll sting your ass.. with..... MY ASS!!! |

| dreams and madness |
[Apr. 21st, 2007|05:54 pm] |

I have had a dream every single night of my life where i'm either running from or stuck in the middle of a tornado. I read about suck things in those dream interpretation books, but they never explain anything that relates to me. So what the fuck is this all about? Are these dreams why i'm so obsessed with big storms? or vice versa? Or is it something more. Does my future involve a horrible incident with a tornado? God i hope not. This is not the only reoccurring dream i've had though. I have lots. And I'm really convinced that it all means something. Like the time I kept having a dream about going to LA with Geronimo Rex. Then their singer came to visit it me. All he could talk about was LA for some reason. And that night I also realized I was sitting at the table with a Joseph, Mary, and Jesus. Jesus being Ty because he was born on Christmas day. My first name is John. so hmmm.. Could this be some kind of evidence they there is some sort of connection here? Is there a higher power? Do we have a set plan? And why do people I haven't seen, heard from, or even thought about in years randomly show up in my dream? I don't know. I do know that i'm sick of waking in terror because I thought I had lost everything to a damn tornado. |

I am not dead or blowing anyone off. I'm just getting really close to finishing my album. I only have one song left to do the lyrics to. I finished two of them last night. I'm looking into putting the album on itunes and also professional cds made. I just hope sombody is interested in buying my music. Doesn't really seem like anybody gives a damn about buying music these days. Not even live music. My gig this weekend went well. I had a wonderful response from the crowd. But I didn't make shit. The guy who owned the bar payed me twenty and nobody tipped. Fuckers. But maybe my album will be different. I'm working to make this an actual album instead of just a collection of songs. It will flow. It's all based on a theme. I'm writing this while talking to a room full of people so i hope i'm making sense. shoe. |

| First solo gig |
[Apr. 11th, 2007|05:54 pm] |

[Apr. 9th, 2007|12:30 pm] |
Last week was a horrible week. Mainly because I'm having to deal with the fact that Laura is moving, and I'm getting to see her less and less these days. By the end of May, she will be gone. But on top of that, we spent a whole lot of money on a hardwood floor, only for the power to go out when we tried to put it in. Then a goblin ran in punched me in the boat. Soo yeah. We haven't been able to do much else with the new floor because the original floor is so uneven. Evil juice came and there you were. With my sock. ok.. I was also supposed to be learning a CD full of cover music for a friend of mine so I could be his lead guitar player. Well, it got to rehearsal day, Saturday, and I wouldn't even pick up the cd. The songs just flat out sucked. BAD! Playing them to me would be like putting a toothpick between your toe and toenail and kicking a wall. So I told him I couldn't do it. My GOD I've never seen anybody so pissed. I don't want to go into the details, but let's just say that it ruined my whole weekend. He just went way too far with some of the harsh things he said.
Now it's a new week. My chest is getting much better after a cough I've had for about a month. The Juke Joint Festival is this weekend! I'm blowing off all other plans i might have had to go. I've missed it two years in a row. But not this time! Things will explode when I tell them their hair is raw. That's right my rats, today we will rise! We will rise and be mimes! JOIN ME! AND WE WILL RULE THE EARTH! or not.
I recorded a jam song with my friend Cade. He plays lead guitar and I did everything else. And yes there are lyrics and vocals.. They just don't start till halfway through. http://www.myspace.com/banished2007. Enjoy. |

| More new shit |
[Mar. 23rd, 2007|11:48 am] |
Due to the ability to now have a fifth song on myspace, I added a new one called "The Edge." sounds heavy but it's actually more like Sufjan Stevens meets The Beatles. so go check it out if you get a few minutes. http://www.myspace.com/waltbusby OH! and I also now have my music for sale there as well. Not that I wouldn't mind giving you people all free shit, i just figured I would let you know anyway. Mkay..
Soo yeah. I have an acoustic gig with Jacqueline in Jackson tonight. I haven't been to Jackson in a while, so I'm really looking forward to the drive. I really miss the days of driving there all the time to see Geronimo Rex. hmmm. I wonder if i could get Indian food while I'm there? yes.. I think i will smoke your wall. Thank you mr. pillow. |

I'm not a starving artist because I ate lots of grits for breakfast..

| Broken laptop |
[Mar. 14th, 2007|11:54 am] |
Well well well. I haven't been able to write much these days because Jacqueline stepped on my laptop and broke my screen. Arg.. But hey! I ordered a new screen yesterday so it should be here soon. And with that, I will use it to take over.... the bathroom. That's right fools. Soooo yeah. Ty got married sunday!!!!!!!!! My god who saw that one coming? But it was a great wedding and there are some groovy pictures out there somewhere that I might try and get up here. A goat bit me. I finished all the instrument tracks for my solo album. Yay!! Now I just need to stop being lazy and write some damn lyrics. Any ideas?
In other news, I'm wearing a blue shirt.... Oh, and my girlfriend I've had since September, Laura Wiley, will be moving away to Arkansas this summer. She's been there for the past two days cleaning their new house. Arg. The loneliness isn't that far away. I'll beat it with 9 sticks of grilled lava! That's right! I'm not a bird! I hate being sick. I've had a bad cold for about four days now. Why won't it just die!? I want to go to Chicago in June to visit Jeff.. Anybody up for a road trip? Ok. fork. |
