I got carded for smokes

I actually got carded for smokes tonight. Can you believe it? I laughed my ass off. I'm a huge, balding, 31 year old man and this guy actually thought i was under 18. Come on. Ok now on another note, the cd is turning out awesome. I went to the studio tonight to get a rough mix of "Gone Mad" and oh my god it made my peter tingle. It is the best thing we have put down to date. Ok enough for now, Secrest out

Good Times

We had a great weekend. All weekend in the falls, plus we spent the night on friday so u know i got all sorts of f'ed up. We ended up at denny's friday night having conversations that will never be repeated. Met alot of cool people this weekend. Sometimes i really have to sit back and realize how much i love doing what we do. But i really love sleeping and showering with Chris and Oz. Although they made fun of me because i trim my neather-region. LOL peace

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I know i'm thankfull for having the opportunity to be able to create and perform music with 2 of my best friends and brothers. I love you guys keep on rocking the free world. GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Cowboys are still in 1st place

Hahahahaha. My Cowboys won agian sunday. It wasnt the best game we played by any stretch and we still won. I'm a bit worried about the Thanksgiving game though. I think the Broncos are one of the best teams in the NFL and they're coming off a win also. It is a home game which gives us a bit of an advandtange and we are favored in the line.(Betting line) I know i will be screaming and yelling Thursday during the game. All i got to say is, "How bout them Cowboys!!!!!!!"

Great Parenting

I read this article and it made me smile. So many parents nowadays take the ignore it and it'll go away method. This mom is pro-active and it's very refreshing. Teach the kids to be accountable for their actions. I commend you.


Tasha Henderson, right, and her daughter, Coretha, left, pose for a photo outside their home in Edmond, Okla., Friday, Nov. 11, 2005, with the sign Coretha was forced to hold for an hour at a busy intersection so that passing motorists could read it. The 14-year-old freshman already has been forced by her parents to give up basketball and track because of slipping grades, and said she hopes to improve in school so she can play next year.

More Studio Pics

Here's some pics of the boys recording their vocals. The one of Oz looks like he's doing a Mick Jager impersonation. Then we have Chris looking like he is mugging down with the pop filter. Maybe all the time in the studio has finally taking it's toll on us. Oz is turning gay and Chris misses his wife so much that he is now making out with microphones. We go back to the studio tommorow night to finish up vocals. What will happen then. More to come.

Getting along famously

Here's a picture of the boys taking a break and watching a little TV. Chris is just like a cat laying on top on the couch.







You know the new CD is going awesome. When you see Chris and I cuddling then you know it's got to be going great.

The Music is finished

We has a great session bassist come out and lay down the bass tracks. Wow they sound bad ass.



Also, Oz and Crish finished up all the guitar tracks. Tommorow morninf we start on vocals then leave straight from the recording studio to temple to play at bums. Good times.

Remember those who have kept us free

You know I sometimes forget about how we got where we are now. I bitch about the way the government is run. I bitch about some freedoms I feel I should be able to have. But sometimes you have to take a look around and realize this is a pretty cool place to be. I'm in a place where I can chose to play music, any kinda music I want to. I can say whatever I want to. I live in a country where I can be me. How cool is that. But, my point is that we still are allowed to enjoy these freedoms and bitch about the government because of the people that put on the uniform and fight and die for those rights. Everyone knows a Vet. More than likely someone in your family is a vet. My Dad, Grandfather, Numerous uncles all served in the military during war time. These are the people that I suggest you take 2 minutes out of your day and call them and say thanks. This is a day to remember all those soldiers that fought for OUR rights. A lot of them never made it home. It's one day a year. Let's make a conscious effort just to say thanks. Let them know that we remember. Ok enough out of me. One more thing. Remember this, you don't have to agree with the reasons for the wars we have fought. Just remember the soldiers that didn't ask questions and did their job. Much love.


p.s. Keith, thank you my buddy(good game)

Did Chris strangle our engineer

This is a picture of our beloved Chris giving Craig(Engineer)the Vulcan Neck Pinch. At least that is what he told Oz and I when walked in from going to get food for everyone. It looked more like he was massaging Craig's shoulder. I was wondering why we got suck a great deal on studio time this CD. I think we all know the truth. I didn't hear a "good game".

Airline Saftey

I have the solution for the prevention of hijackings, and at the same time getting our airline industry back on its feet.

Since men of the Muslim religion are not allowed to look at naked women we should replace all of our female flight attendants with strippers.

Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing a naked woman, and of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again in hope of seeing a naked woman.

We would have no more hijackings, and the airline industry would have record sales .

Now why didn't Congress think of this?

Studio Stories

This is a very very sad site. I know it looks inocently enough but you don't know what movie Chris is watching. You notice that he can't take his eyes off the tv. Ok i thought Chris lost some street cred because he has 2 little ewok looking balls of fur that he calls dogs.(You know i love you louie, and sasha) But then he bought a Harley and got alot of that Street Cred back. But this was the ultimate. Ok I know your on the edge of your seats to find out what movie he was watching. He was watching "_H_ C_ _ E B_ _R_ M_ V_ _". Now i know that is mean. Should i make you wait till the next blog from the anwser? Maybe just another clue that would be worse. I'm not that kinda guy. It was the Care Bears Movie. He laughed like every 2 minutes and going hey guys you got to come see this. That was the last straw for me. Chris is no longer a man in my book.


I did get kinda frustrated with Oz this weekend. First of all he wasn't playing his guitar parts right so I had to get on him. Then he started talking shit about the Cowboys. You don't talk bad about my Cowboys. So i had to set him straight.

Studio Day 2

Man today was great day in the studio as well. We've got almost all the guitar tracks finished and we were able to finish all the percussion. The percussionist extraordinarine is the great Brandon Rice. He's single ladies email me and I'll hook you up. We get almost a week off and then it's back to the studio Friday. Things are going famously this CD will be the bomb. Of course I am bias so you'll have to decide for yourself. Much Love.

Found my Mojo

here a couple pics from the studio today...man i found my mojo agian...this cd is going to kick ass...our best sooo far...today we got all the drum tracks and half of the acoustic guitar tracks finished...tommorow we finish up the guitar and add percusion....good times........enjoy the pics more update tommorow...

Encouragement needed

You know if you read all of our blogs that things havent been rainbows and butterflies in the land of the shyne lately. All i know is that in the past i have always been the one that tried to keep everyones spirits high when the band was down. i was the one that always looked on the brightside. I soooooo try to be positive. Lately i have been feeling way down. Like Chris said burned out tried frustrated. Maybe the encouragement has been there and i just havent seen it but man i need some. I need someone to tell me this to shall pass. Life is full of pits and valleys. I'm getting sick of these pits. This band has worked sooo hard over the years trying to write good music, put on a great show, promote our asses off, missing out on wedding, funerals, birthdays, family, friends, partys, driving home 3-4 hours after a show to save hotel room money. We just need some love. I need some love. I want to ask a favor of anybody that knows, loves, or at least respects what we do. Come out to the shows and show us some love. We feed of your energy both on stage as well and in pusuit of what we strive to be. Let me know if we still have lots of monkey love out there. Maybe i'll find some love in the studio this weekend. god i hope so.
