Working Man's Blues

Man you better rethink your life when you think its a good idea to have a baby, then get married the very next month, then three months later buy a house lol. I already have the second job, plus I do some farm work on the side. I had a mowing business on the side as well during the summer, but of course that season is over now.
A funny thing at my second job today though. My second job is Jiffy Lube, its an oil change and lube center. We were replacing a car battery, and it was one of the battery that had the battery tie down at the bottom, with the bolt. Well my co worker that hates me yelled at me because he was loosening the bolt and I started jerking on the battery so you didn't have to take the bolt the whole way out. Well, the dickhead didn't want to do it my way, so I let him do it his way.
So after he took the bolt the whole way out, changed the battery and attached the terminal wires, he then started working on that damn bolt he took out which I thougt it would be easier to slide the battery out without the hassle of rethreading that bolt in. So I let him work on it for about 15 minutes then said..."Well, if you would have done it my way it would have been done 10 minutes ago. He threw the tools at me and said, "If you think you know more about cars then I do then you can put the damn battery in the car and he pushed me and walked away.
So I got to work. Tore the battery back out, threaded the tie down, slide the battery back in, and tighened the bolt and was done in 5 minutes. The dude didn't talk to me the rest of the day lol.

Another Sleepless Night

Man, I really wish I knew how to get a 3 week old baby to stay asleep at night! Me and my wife have been up every night since his birth. He sleeps only 2 hours at a time it seems like, and he only goes to sleep when someone is holding him. If we put him down carefully sometimes he will sleep awhile, but usually he wakes up after about 15 minutes until you pick him up again!
Other than that, I've been working, writing, and playing guitar when I can. Can't wait till fall gets here! I'm tired of summer, and I'm tired of my on the side mowing jobs. I plan on plowing snow in the winter. Hopefully next summer I will have enough money to get a pa system and do some gigs for extra cash. It beats having a 2nd job!

Almost a Year!

Wow, I've been away from updating my blog, and site for almost a year now. I haven't really been doing anything with music till recently, I've been busy!
First of all, as of June 19th, 2009 I got married to my girlfriend of 3 years, Robin. Then on July 15th, 2009, we had our first baby. His name is Aidan Michael Royer, and as of today he is in the hospital for a infection. Robin's staying with him while I stay at home and protect the fort lol.
Anyways, my life has been crazy, and just when I think everything is going to settle down, something else happens. I guess I will just have to wait until I'm old and can't do shit lol.
Tonight is about the only time I really had to myself, so I think after I'm done with this blog I'm going to go and update the website.

In the Studio

Well, its not really a studio. Its my room but oh well close enough. I've got three new songs written for my new cd which won't be out for awhile. I'm going to do a better job on this album, since I know how to use the equipment alittle better. So far I have the drum track of one of the songs recorded, and am currently trying to get a good rhythm guitar track recorded. Since this is my first time playing with drums, its taking me alittle longer. Then later on after I add the vocals I'm going to try some lead guitar with my Tele, then see if I can add a harmonica in there somewhere. My main goal is to try to make my music sound different from each other, and get some different instruments in there. I plan on learning the mandolin next year, and then maybe the piano. Lol, I've got a long list of stuff I'd like to get done, but first I have to get my real life issues out of the way. I am in the process of switching careers, buying a house, and getting married on July 19, 2010!

Updated!

As you can see I added some cool new things to my blog! I added a few links, and put some of my youtube videos on there for you all to see! I'm not too sure about the banner, I might have to do alittle work on that, or just change the layout.

Its Done

Its done..No this is not an April Fools joke the cd is done! I am finished recording and as soon as I come up with the money, its going off for copyright. So look for a summer release.. things aren't going too well at work. I'm going job searching tomorrow. I got laid off again! But the cd is done, and as soon as it is copyrighted, I will be sending some off to cd baby for sales. I'll update you all on the progress. For now, take care!

Its March...

Actually its the end of March but oh well. I've been recording, and re-recording, and jamming, and working. Also, I've been actually writing again. I got a great idea for a song, but I refuse to finish it until I'm done with the cd. I have 12 songs recorded out of 12 songs. I need to re-record 3 of them.
Thats about it for this month! Damn time flies fast doesn't it? I expect the cd to be released this summer, so be looking for it! I wanted a summer release anyways!
