I’ll just say that man is writing tough sometimes…  One thing i have realized over the years of being in a band is that writer’s block is a REALLY easy thing to get.  Authority has this problem but the nice part is, that when your in a band that every member of the band writes music it’s a rare occasion that you run into all members have writers block at the same time so that’s nice

Blue Collar Prophet on the other hand is all me… and when i get writers block i really feel like someone is handing me a puzzle with nothing but mismatched pieces in it.  Yesterday i pulled up my software to start a new track,  ya know start fresh and stay positive!  YA ummmm NO… HAHAH!  i was sitting there playing with my keyboard for like 45 minutes before i just said FUCK IT!  its a little bit frustrating when all you want to do is get something out but your head is blocking that from happening…
One thing I’m happy to report about though is ALL my paperwork with both my distribution company and my publishing company is done now!  This means that in a month or so I’ll be releasing my first “solo album”.  actually i’de like to get into that a little for a second.
My solo album is called 240, (don’t ask me why i just liked the ring that set of #’s had to it so i went with it).  240, (the more I’ve listened to the 7 tracks on it), i think really is more of a compilation than an album.  Over the years of writing music I never payed attention to what “style” I was writing ya know, I just wrote the songs that i wanted to write or was inspired to write at that time.  Now when i decided to move forward with releasing those songs I’ve realized that they don’t sound AT ALL the same hahah!  but hey whatever!  I like all 7 tracks and hope that all of you will like them as well.  This time around I’m actually focused on writing a hip-hop based record so we’ll see how that goes

I think that the Authority Zero stuff is coming along nicely.  I will say its a little weird cause this is the first time we’ve done a record with out the original line up in the band but i think the new guys are doing great and have great input and ideas for us to run with.  who knows maybe a fresh set of ideas from fresh people with give this record the kick start it needs!   I’ve been thinking about the album art for this record allot lately. I hate it though cause we are still early in the writing process and so its hard for me to judge where the album is going and therefore what type of style i should go for.  I think maybe when i have some free time I’ll just start throwing some stuff together and see if anything jumps out at me.  never hurts to get a head start anyway

OK well that’s all for today, i’m out the door to a meeting!
CHEERS!

Your world was blown right apart on a night of sickening death.
You went running for your life and never went home again.
I spend sleepless nights as my head swims worrying about you.
You work the night shift so you won’t be alone.
I am adept at cold. You have travelled so far from home.
Sorrow has followed every [...]

Yesterday was really really rad!  We were in Cincinnati Ohio.  The show went OFF!  Cincinnati really knows how to bring the power to the shows and people really get rowdy around there!  Before the show D.j.
