Gallstones and Root Canals

Rosa is at home in pain from gallstones.

I'm at work in pain from a root canal.

B-Trade all over again!

2008-10-06T17:25:00.003-04:00

Yeah, you guessed it.

A fully free and downloadable teaser for "The Root of All Evil", which hopefully comes out some time in 2009, here is a decently mixed version of "B-Trade", which if you know Evil Adam, you most definitely already know.

I'm making it available exclusively at Last.fm to download, so go listen to it, or download it right here.

I played and sang everything, except drums, which Jay Curcio played. Zack and Lucain engineered this and Zack did the mixdown and editing. Don't expect to hear TOO much more anytime soon, I'm getting married, going on honeymoon, concentrating on lots of other shit, and THEN will get back into music much heavier next year.

No matter, go get B-Trade (Studio Version) now, and tell me what you think!

I Was On National TV Today...

2008-09-17T13:55:00.003-04:00

Playing Rock Band 2 at my job, which was then aired on Good Day NY on FOX.

Crazyness!

You can see me drumming in this video somewhere, before the news crew decides to make asses of themselves.

George Carlin: My Favorite Lapsed Catholic Atheist Maven of Logic

2008-06-23T09:32:00.003-04:00

I grew up watching tons of standup comedy with my family as a kid. My parents were smart enough to understand that hearing someone say the words fuck and shit weren't going to really do much harm against my upbringing, so really, I watched everything that they would watch. I was able to many of these shows "live" as they aired on HBO and Showtime, including Richard Pryor, Rodney Dangerfield, Eddie Murphy, and of course, George Carlin.

Out of all of them, Carlin was the one I resonated with best. Even when I was 6 years old I loved corny, silly, and puny jokes that revolved around wordplay. There was no one better than George Carlin for that. I often found it stupid that people would get so upset over words that were just made up by humans, and that we had set rules for the right and wrong way to use them when they were just made up anyhow. I understand the need for rules, but making fun of it all was just that much better, and free speech is something we all fucking need.

Raised Catholic I found a lot of what he said about "God" and religion interesting, because even early on I started to realize that those ideas and beliefs were not my own. Laughing about it helped me realize how silly I really found all of it and as a teenager I could have no better influence or teacher on the subject than that same guy that made me laugh my ass off as a little kid.

As an adult I've become a bitter bastard of an atheist, however, with a very optimistic yet realistic eye for the future. I have major plans and goals that I want and need to accomplish and I will be starting my own family as of Oct. 25th, 2008. (That means I'm getting married, that doesn't mean that Rosa is pregnant.... yet!) Watching his last comedy special he talked a lot about things that I care about and am looking toward and it seems like every phase I enter in my life I can look back to some George Carlin comedy special that I saw right around that time. Too bad I won't be able to say that about the future.

As hilarious as I found George Carlin to be, I thought his best accomplishment was getting people to think, even just a little bit. People don't seen to do that enough or as often as they should, so even if watching one standup comedy hour made people laugh while stimulating some brain activity, he did more for it in one hour than most could do in their whole life.

With that being said, I'm not going to say "Hope you're out there somewhere watching blah blah bullshit" because Carlin and I both don't believe there is anywhere to go for that crap.

Instead, I'll just end it with my favorite George Carlin bit.

New Job at my Job?

2008-06-16T18:25:00.001-04:00

So i might be getting a new position at my job... which would kick so much ass. I need to have benefits and all that good stuff so it would be a welcome step up.

Beyond that, it would put me in a more creative place, which is excellent as it works towards my goals of world domination.

Yay!

Confirmed: Evil Adam is Better Than Slipknot

2008-06-09T17:53:00.003-04:00

So according to http://www.reverbnation.com/main/bes_chart?genre=metal Evil Adam is better than Slipknot, at least for today. That makes me happy, no doubt, however I realize that I have to overcome Bluntforce and Omnidemic and the herculian band Banshee if I ever want to go anywhere in the music world.

Fucking crazy! Oh, and the hard drive... well a co-worker is giving me some software he thinks may help. Let's cross our fingers and toes.

3rd Times The Harm...

2008-06-05T14:18:00.002-04:00

Fuck you. Fuck you you fucking piece of shit hard drive. Fuck you and your other 2 brothers that died on me a few years back, one after the other. Fuck you for not being completely backed up yet, as I was in the process of trying to back you up 2 weeks ago and had a problem with my DVD-R drive. Fuck you for being an asshole.

Fuck you for not doing what you are supposed to; work. Fuck you for not being there for me when I needed you most, which hasn't even happend yet, but I already know you're not working now so I know you WON'T be working next year when I get back down to the dirty business of music. Fuck you for having all the Cousin music on you, possibly making 2 musical projects suffer. Fuck you for not being a person, because at least if you were a person I would just not talk to you anymore or beat the living shit out of you.

Most of all, hard drive, simply and sincerly, fuck you!

Some Numbers to Scare the Shit Out of You With...

2008-06-02T17:58:00.003-04:00

First of all, look at this chart:

Ok, now that you've seen it, really read and pay attention to the information it presents. How fucking terrifying is that? Ok, now let me fess up with you... it isn't ALL that horrible.... right?

Yeah, actually that is REPORTED natural disasters, as in some things just fell through the cracks... probably of the Earth, as it was breaking up during an earthquake. Anyhow, now there are more and more ways to record, report, and inform, so that number is only to be bigger and bigger as media and multimedia capabilities strengthen and reporting agencies pop up into existence. Beyond that, really, yes, natural disasters to seem to be growing in occurance.

Why? Who the fuck knows. Do we know that natural disasters weren't this frequent millions of years ago? We don't really have any conclusive evidence that proves or disproves it, and besides, no one was alive yet. Can't rightly ask a fucking t-rex what happened, so there we go. I will say that in HUMAN records and memory, though calamities of greater magnitude have happened I don't think the frequency of such has ever been as high as it has in the last few decades, and this decade has definitely been pretty crazy.

Now, I would also like to see natural and man-made disasters on a chart like this, basically measuring the loss of human life thanks to natural means and man-made death fests such as wars, terrorist attacks, murders, traffic accidents, and such.

Could be an interesting set of numbers, eh?

Anyhow, where am I going with all of this? You'll see soon enough. One of my damn theories, which I was turning into a book, is slowly looking more and more like reality. I'll explain more at a later date. Until then you can read the full report that I pulled this graph out of right here.

Whoring Out For A Few Bucks

2008-05-19T20:38:00.006-04:00

Yeah, I'm always in the lookout for a few extra bucks, so if you haven't played this game yet, and I'm really going out on a limb by even thinking anyone exists still, I'm selling my copy of the best game ever made, Resident Evil 4, for the Gamecube. Now, seeing as there are millions of Wii owners out there, the good news is that Gamecube games work on the Wii... so if you have a Wii or a Gamecube and don't own Resident Evil 4 yet, here is your chance to help out a starving musician and get one of the best games ever made.

Go here to see the auction and bid your little gaming heart out. The game fucking rocks and there are tons of curses and scary sounding phrases in Spanish, such as:

¡Ahí está!
¡Os voy a romper a pedazos!
¡Mierda!
¡Maldita sea!
¡So cerdo!
¡Basta, hijo de puta!
¡Te voy a matar!

And my favorite: ¡Te voy a hacer picadillo!

Go bid now!

I got to cast who I thought should be "The Avengers", including the Hulk and Iron Man if the current actors dropped out for some reason.

What Would Evil Adam Do?

2008-05-02T15:27:00.004-04:00

I miss making music. Really, I do. I don't mean just recording and writing alone, I mean the full band dynamic. I miss singing. I miss performing. I miss those 3am diner runs after a show to eat breakfast food for dinner. It was fun to play bass and guitar and even drum in some of the other bands I've been a part of, but nothing was as fun as singing in Evil Adam.

I've recorded material with other people for other projects, written with other people as a band for some defunct stuff, and went absolutely apeshit with my cousin Joe in our project Cousin, but nothing has really taken me to the hilt with live performances like Evil Adam did and I'm starting to feel like nothing ever will again. I'm tempted to just try to find my way into a band that is already formed, only filling the lead singer spot, but at the same time I really would just like to have Evil Adam kicking ass like we were back in 2000. We were playing regularly, had a decent sized fan base and even had some industry contacts, even if they turned out to lead nowhere. The creative juices were in constant flow, live shows were fun, interesting, and gratifying, and I just felt like I was able to showcase my creative muscle in a way that didn't make me feel like I was being underused or ignored.

I have a lot of plans for Evil Adam next year, and really, this year is too crazy for me to even try to put much effort, money, and time into getting a live act for Evil Adam back into the grind, but I'm wondering if it really is the best thing for me. Should I just be part of something else, start something new, keep Evil Adam a recording only thing, or what? I know no matter what I do I must be part of something performance oriented. I have lots of interests, goals, and wants but how many of them are really all that attainable? At what point am I just spreading myself too thin or getting my creative hopes up? It sucks to have so many questions for myself and really no answers. I feel like I know exactly what I want to do but I won't let myself do it by wanting to do to many things or things that are just too big for me to handle. Let's take a look, shall we?

1) Evil Adam
a] Recording: write and record BRAND NEW music, finish "The Root of All Evil" and market/sell it, get press for it, whore it on the internet
b] Videos: Get music videos done for "The Root of All Evil" and have contests for fan made stuff
c] Licensing: Get Evil Adam music in films, video games, etc.
d] Website: Get a new Evil Adam site going. I have a new blog and message board, thankfully, but the rest needs to be updated.
e] Merch: T-Shirts from a non-shitty non-expensive company are a must. Anything else is icing on the evil cake.

2) Cousin
a] Recording: Write and record BRAND NEW music with Joe, finish "The Optimus Primo LP" and re-master the tracks that were on "The Bootydust EP" for it.
b] Videos: Same as Evil Adam
c] Licensing: Same as Evil Adam
d] Website: Now that http://www.bootydust.com/ is live I need to expand it, flesh it out, get Joe to post to it more, and all around grow everything around it.
e] Merch: Same as Evil Adam and then some. I think Cousin has the capability of being way more popular than Evil Adam for multiple reasons.

3] Other Music Projects
a] I've already agreed to writing a bunch of new music with John D. and Jay Curcio for an indie wrestling company but we need a place to do it and equipment to record it to. Otherwise we can't fucking start this goddamn project soon enough!
b] I want to make custom music for movies and video games that also fall outside of Evil Adam and Cousin. Any takers?

4) Movies/Video
a] I want to get some movie scripts done, finalized, and filmed. I have so many ideas, I just have to get them done!
b] I want to direct. I've watched enough shit to have a decent eye for visual media in motion, I just need the time and capability of such.
c] I know I can edit video, I've done it before. Do I really want to do all of this for my own stuff though?
d] I would love to help create and direct music videos for the bands that I also am friends with. That is a lot of you guys out there!
e] I want to act again. I was pretty good at it and it was a lot of fun.

5) Books/Stories
a] I started writing a novel years ago, and the idea grew out of control and too big for me to finish. I need to reign it in and finish it.
b] I eventually want to make a collection of short stories, prose, lyrics, poetry, and other random shit I have written over the years and just get it published. I don't care if anyone buys it as long as I can own a copy that is binded, has a real fucking book cover, and exists.
c] I have about 20 short stories that aren't short enough and thus aren't finished. They might develop into bigger stories/books but I just don't have the drive in me to get them done yet. What will it take?
d] My brain never stops coming up with ideas for things and really my first thought is that I need to become a comic book writer. 4 color art is probably the best format to take my long-winded, episodic, narrative style to, however I don't know anyone that would draw them for me. I can't draw. I want to write comics. Help, please?

6) Video Games
a] This is probably the most difficult thing to get done but I would love to design video games, but only in the realm of game play mechanics and story. I can't program and I can't draw. Yeah, sucks to be me, eh?

So there you have it. What am I to do? Anyone out there have any ideas or avenues for me to get some of this done? Anyone want to team up on some of these or know someone who can help?

Aye, either way, my brain is never idle but my hands always seem to be. I'm in a great relationship that will be 100% official in October and I feel like I have nothing to offer my future wife except love. Sure, that is the most important thing but I wish I could make her proud as well, and hell, I'd love to be proud of myself.

I love this woman...

2008-05-01T15:41:00.003-04:00

That's right, she's mine!

Here she is running around Six Flags in a Wonder Woman cape...

flying times at 6 flags

October 25th 2008 she is officially mine! The Once Rosa Ferrer and future Rosa Rosa!

You're not reading this just because of a game...

2008-04-29T16:10:00.002-04:00

Well I'm guessing you've killed a lot of people, screwed a few whores, and probably fucked around with cab drivers. You've listened to reggae, pistol whipped some Rasta Jamaicans and watched some TV.

Yes, Grand Theft Auto IV is out and the entertainment world will be feeling the blow soon enough. Will Iron Man feel the heat at the box office because of it?

Who knows, all I know is you definitely aren't reading this because you are playing the game on the PS3 or XBox 360... but if you are reading this, look for me on the Playstation 3 with my PSN Name - Evil69

Happy killing!

Sean Bell Verdict and Bad Ad Timing

2008-04-25T10:02:00.004-04:00

First of all, I call bullshit on the Sean Bell case verdict. I know the police are supposed to shoot to maim, not shoot to kill at first so tell me how 50 shots is ok? The whole fucking thing is just a disgusting mess and sets a precedent as to what we can expect in the future... now on a lighter note:

I went to CNN.com to check out the news on the trial and lo and behold I witness quite possibly the worst advertising timing I have ever seen. Look to the right of the article at the ad that was displayed when I went there. I had to laugh my ass off but still it's just wrong! It wouldn't have been as bad if the kid in the picture was white and had his mouth closed.

Red Lights Over Phoenix Return

2008-04-22T12:16:00.002-04:00

First the video:

Now, this isn't the first time these have been seen. In 1997 people saw these not far from there and they said "Oh, those were flares" which is damn hilarious. In fact, one of the guys in this video mentions that. Now you can find different videos of this all over youtube, and really, we can be thankful that technology has embraced the information age the way that it has.

Do I believe in god? No. Do I think we'd be foolish to dismiss life on other planets? Yes. Do I think that this could easily be government testing? Yes.

Who knows what the fuck it is, but I know for one thing, it ain't going to be easily divulged.

Let's see what excuse they cook up next!

Atheists Have No Produce Related Nightmares

2008-04-15T13:23:00.006-04:00

Growing Pains was an ok 80s show, but then Kirk Cameron had to loose his nut and went Crazy Christian on the world. At one point he had a website, which is still up but has been changed, that pretty much did nothing but tell you that you are GOING TO HELL! I saw the site, laughed my ass off, sent it around to folks who also thought it was funny, including many who were Christian themselves, and then came across this awesome clip a few years later.

Ok, now that you've watched that you probably already can think of a thousand things that don't make sense with it, right? Don't worry, you're not the only one, but I think this guy says what we all have to say best:

Now that is just classic... however, they try again with peanut butter! Different folks have different strokes, but this makes even less sense than the fucking banana! Peanut butter? Yeah, check it out:

And thankfully Family Guy provides us with a clip that doesn't even have to directly argue with the peanut butter mess of a clip:

Ah, yes, this world is a fucking funny place and we are all part of the crazyness that comes with it!
