What Makes You Think Girls Are Trying To Compete...
Please, spend 5 minutes in my Chuck Taylors and you will totally understand unless you go insane from the experience.
Honestly, the more popular my friends get, the nastier the comments/rumors get about me. But I’m not going to change. And I love my friends; I hope they become the famous rockstars I know they can be.

Q: If you didn’t have the contacts you have now, would you still choose this career path (audio engineering)?
A: Absolutely. The music industry has been calling to me since I was a crappy 18 year old college disc jockey. No matter what else I’ve done in my life career-wise, it’s always been in the background, calling my name. I’m part of it, whether I like it or not....

And here’s our new music video for “Harlem”! Watch David dance his way around the city to a house party up in Harlem where we get crrrraazy…it’s all up on VEVO!
Get “Harlem” on iTunes.
Seeing you smile at me makes my heart flutter. Jeg elsker dig.
Listening to you sing always makes me smile.
Groupie Trash
It’s always baffling how so very many women can hate my guts without even knowing me. Believe me, there are plenty of people who know me and hate me, and that’s okay. You don’t live as long as I have without making a few enemies.
But over a band? Please, they are nice to everybody, including you (I know this because I was there and I saw it). And getting people to friend me on...
“Are you just some kind of Superfan?”
– So the question that kept getting asked of me backstage in Rochester was, “Are you just some kind of Superfan?”
Those of you who know me know that this type of question/categorizing totally irritates the shit out of me. That and the “groupie” question.
Can’t a girl be...
Vegan
It’s been relatively easy transitioning to a vegan diet. I’ve already lost a little weight and dropped a jeans size without feeling deprived. I just have had to make adjustments and choices. And a little reading about what went into that food I was eating sure helped a lot. I don’t crave ice cream, that’s for sure!
It’s not a diet for everyone; I also didn’t do...

Gemini men: they make you feel great as long as they have a use for you, but when they are finished, the crumple you up and toss you aside like a used paper cup.
Why do I keep letting this happen? I have no idea.

Go go hey go download “Harlem” on iTunes!!!
Get this song!!!
Being a Woman
I’d like to thank Nick and Mike, the sound engineers for Hoobastank, for being very cool.
I, myself, am studying Audio Engineering, a field that is male-dominated. But you know what? The men I have met that do this work are far more accepting and welcoming of me than the women I’ve tried to meet. Maybe the ladies have a bit of a chip on their shoulders?
But anyway, thank you guys for...
Being fabulous can be lonely sometimes. Ah well. The price I will pay.
Class?
Interesting, on this first day of the Spring semester, that my first class would go so wrong. Prof had the flu, and all of our computers needed a Java update to run the lessons. So no lesson! That just means twice as much Wednesday.
My first day vegan is going well; had a soy latte and went shopping for groceries. Felt very healthy with my vegan blueberry muffin and green juice. One day at a...
I dream of you, though it hurts not knowing if you dream of me, too…
I am equally as sarcastic and crazy as you are.
Truly, I love you. :-)
Been a while...
Sorry I’ve been remiss in posting, but life has been rather hectic with work and school.
2013 is upon us, having survived the Mayan Apocalypse, and I have a few concerts lined up already. And a new Nikon to take rad pictures with.
So look to my page for updates of my crazy adventures in rock and roll! Good times ahead, nothing but love. xo

My misery has been great these last few months; no concerts, then injury, and doldrums at work, the night shift. Been a sad few months for old TattooGirl here. Way, way down. Been in a bad funk that I just can’t seem to escape from, medically or otherwise. Even a Rad-tastic Civil Twilight show couldn’t spark me up for long.
But hopefully things will be changing for the better soon. My...
Joke of the day
flyingscotsman:
An Englishman, a Frenchman, a Spaniard and a German are all standing watching a street performer do some excellent juggling. The juggler notices that the four gentlemen have a very poor view, so he stands up on a large wooden box and calls out, “Can you all see me now?”
“Yes.” “Oui.” “Sí.” “Ja.”
So I’m not feeling good on Thursday night and call in to work. Gave them almost 6 hours to replace me, right? Oh no, I get the nasty bitch-out that I totally don’t deserve. Which pisses me off, but since I’m not feeling good I just hang up the phone and go back to sleep.
So:
Yesterday (Saturday), I call work to verify that it is my day off, and Ms Nasty Bitch tells me yes, they...
Concert Season is finally getting off the ground! June is booked with 4 shows in 3 cities. Starting with Civil Twilight in OKC on the 6th, then up to Des Moines for Foxy Shazam on the 17th. Hopefully they will have special guests! Then back to OKC for another evening with Foxy Shazam on the 27th. Finally it’s Civil Twilight in Chicago on the 30th. It’s a beer festival so it should be...
Even vampires get lonely at 3 am…
Foxy Shazam, "Oh Lord" →
I cannot stop listening to this band. Thank you New Politics for getting me hooked on crack. xo

All American Rejects Guitarist Assaults...
unsignedunleashed:
Q104 Radio is reporting that All American Rejects guitarist Mike Kennerty hit a photographer in the face during the concert last night in Cleveland. Frontman Tyson Ritter also reportedly broke a fan’s iPad as well. To read the statement from Q104, read below:

Douchebags.
That time work called me, asking if I could go in early. My patient at the time, just a little baby, had pulled out his NG tube. Mom and Dad couldn’t get it back in for anything, and they were getting a bit panicky. Could I do it?
Sure (no). I agreed to go in, and as I was driving, I was praying to God for help. Man, you gotta help me out here, I suck at putting in NG’s! Especially on...
Tales From the Chiropractor's
So it would seem my back pain is due in part to weak core muscles, causing one side of my hips to compensate for the other-
My body’s out of alignment. After 41 years of abuse, I believe it. It’s fixable. But I have “homework” from the Doc. I got special exercises to do.
One exercise is isolating and tensing a glute (yep, my bootie), and then lifting my leg off the floor...
Well, the day after and that 5K didn’t kill me. I’m stiff, but I met a chiropractor there who wants to see if we can fix my chronic back issue, so that’s cool.
I finished, so that’s a win. Didn’t lose any weight this week, but that really doesn’t matter. I’m down a jeans size and up a confidence size.
Next 5K is April 28th; The Drum Run. Benefits a...
I’d like to take this moment to thank all of my high school English teachers for instilling in me a crippling fear of writing papers that will stay with me always.
Of course now that I have an important essay to write for a scholarship application, I find myself terrified and avoiding it like the plague.
Yes, thank you all so very much for the emotional baggage. Cheers!
I was in Sephora shopping for makeup the other day, and the well meaning associate gave me a sample of eye cream (yes, we old ladies don’t like the wrinkles to show), telling me how to use it. Not on the undereye area? No, no. On the orbital bone area only….
I can’t take that seriously as her crow’s feet were waaaay more noticeable than mine, and although we were about the...
Ah yes, I remember this concert. Gogol Bordello in St. Louis. I got the crap beat out of me that night. But it was one of those times it was totally worth it. Why? Because I shocked Eugene.
After the show, I hook up with the girl who was next to me and we gather her friends, heading for the back doors. We have to go out and walk all around the building, and there’s a little line starting...

So Hubster’s 41st birthday was a success. I got him a shiny new iPod so he can have good tunes when he runs, and of course a gift card to get any music I don’t already have…:-)
Got him a candy bouquet instead of a cake (he hates cake). It’s got a lot of Almond Joys and Mr Goodbars on it. I’ll try to get a picture of it.
And we got to have dinner together, a rare...
The Wasabi Pea Incident
I have to write this as I was laughing about it just now:
My Hubs is in the hotel industry, and years ago there was a couple who walked into the hotel bar. Slow night, the employees were chatting, whatever.
So the people, a younger couple, sit and order their drinks. The bartender automatically gives them a bowl of Gardettos or whatever the pretzel mix of the night was.
The couple sneered at...
Today I’ve been thinking more about school; my old student loans are out of default and that makes me eligible for money to go back and finish my degree. Of course, I’ma hafta do it soon, because my new loan payments are about the same as my car payments…
So I’ve been somewhat concerned. Taxes to file, FAFSA to file, transcripts from old schools should all be there (but I...
Jet Breaks Up
unsignedunleashed:
Earlier today, Australian rockers, Jet called it quits. It was announced on their website that the band would be discontinuing. Check out what the guys had to say below.
After many successful years of writing, recording and touring we wish to announce our discontinuation as a group. From the many pubs, theatres, stadiums and festivals all across the world it was the fans...
I’m married, so I don’t deal with this myself, but it’s something I observe among you younger folk. Not all of you, but enough for me to think, “If that were me…”
Why is it that when a nice looking and seemingly intelligent young man has a choice between women, he almost always chooses the wrong one? Then he either bitches or gets dumped and then bitches?...
I have been pretty quiet on the blog again. It doesn’t seem like a lot is happening in my life but I sure have been pretty busy lately.
Getting back into my Episcopal faith has been a milestone for me; for the first time I have found a church with a liberal clergy and congregation that welcomes all people. Even the head of the national church is a woman Bishop. It doesn’t matter that...
