We have entered a hostile environment. All troops to battle stations. We just might not make it out of here alive. I think that is alright though. What else do we really want to see anyways?
I have come to notice somethings about what I do. I am a very influential individual. Some of teh things I have done have made me well noticed. Whether it has been with a band, or just being out and about. I have had some influence around this local scene whether people realize it or not. Most people know me from my Ripp Tyde experiment, but at the same time they really saw what I really was. An anxiety guy with a lot on his mind, but could not really divulge his full view on what he wanted to say, because of teh band he was in.
As most people know, I have a lot to say. I have a though or opinion on just about everything. I think you suck, that sucks, I'm an idiot, I'm stupid, that rocks, and so on. The world around influences me more than anything. I'm saying what some people are really afraid to say. That is what I want to do musically with my next project. I always say I wanna start the next huge punk band. Why you may ask. I want to get a message out there, and write songs we can all rally around. Look at what Rise Against has done. They have evolved their sound, meanwhile they haven't lost what they stood for. That is exactly what I want to do. People will say that you are a poser for having views. I don;t see my self as that. I just see my self as the leader for what people want to say. If that makes me what youw ill call a poser. Then so be it. All these punks that dream of forming a band and staying underground tend to sing the same song. If you get out there, you will evolve what you want to say.
It's about being someone. It is about having your damn voice heard over the millions of screaming hearts that will never get heard. Coming out on top and then help amplify those screaming hearts. There is so much one could do like that. No one wants to be that guy. I applauder what Rose Against has done so far. I would suggest that anyone wishing to form a punk band use them as a model. There is a reason why I look up so much to Tim McIlrath. According to everyone who has met him, he and the band are very classy guys. That is exactly what I want to be known as when I am in a band. Not a loud brute that doesn't really think. I really believe if I kept in Ripp that is what I would have become. I am more than that.
That is my goal that I want to bring with any music that I will write, or take part of in the near future. If that means a band in Flagstaff or in Phoenix, cause I will be in Flag in 6 months. Speaking of that.
With me going to Flagstaff in 6 months. I more than likely would have walked away from Ripp Tyde then anyways. It just would have made sense. I know I said I would have traveled, but I think with the new surroundings. I am going to find something better.
I really think I have found a new me. It's weird when you can feel your self changing. It is for the best. To change, and evolve is what makes us so human, if we don't, are we better than any of the other creatures in the world. No. If you think change is a bad thing, and you are refusing to adapt to what is going on around, are you really living life to its fullest? Just ask yourself that next time you are faced with an interesting situation where you need to change so you can improve yourself, and increase the quality of your life.
I am going to see one of the local bands I am friends with and a group that has teh same influences as me, and I think looks a little to me. If not, then whatever. I'm going out to do something. T.S.R-SS
