What a huge double whammy of Love...

Wow...    great great news...

   I'm like a bee in a florist shop right now,  i'm spinning around in the air and i don't know which way to fly at the moment... i'm kinda burned out, but not bummed out... so much has just been going on between composing bass for the album, to doing vocal rehearsals for J.E.L.L.i. live, connecting with fans,  to seeing a J.E.L.L.i. fan club spring up,  and then reading the most wonderful review of my EP on a Music Blog site...    at the moment i'm a little overwhelmed (in the best possible way...)  

   The Music Blog that reviewed me is called Heavier ~ Than ~ Air , and there is a lot of great music to read about on this blog. The words written about my EP were absolutely beautiful, I'm so grateful for the wonderful things said about my music...    You can read the review here: 

Unsigned Uncovered: J.E.L.L.i.

and if that wasn't enough to set me walking on clouds all day,  I then found out that a J.E.L.L.i. fan club has sprung up!! My German J.E.L.L.i. spreader Natascha from Hamburg created it...  Anyone can join!!! Become a J.E.L.L.i. Bean!! especially if you know me personally because then you can tell embarrassing stories about me to all my fans  =P    I will definitely be posting some exclusive stuff on this fan club page...  poems that i've written throughout my life, pictures i've drawn, behind the scenes pictures and videos and maybe even sneak peeks of the upcoming album...  check it out!

The First Official J.E.L.L.i. Fan Club


     Oh by the way...  I'm sure i blogged about this before,  but just in case...    I'm recording a full length album right now called "Jump Into The Fuzz" and it will be released by me sometime this year...   the songs already on the J.E.L.L.i. EP will be on this album,  but played with real drums instead of digital drums, and also some new twists and turns...  harmonies for "Jenn" ?   and I believe "Starlight" will undergo a blooming transformation...    hehe    you'll hear...         

               Love to one and all, it's 3:51 a.m.  need to get to sleep so I can wake up and get back into Sunshine Studio and pump out those bass lines!!   

                           Infinite love to you all...

P.S.   I feel like i'm forgetting something...  I'm sure i'll remember soon... =)

It's all too much.. for me to take.. the love that's shining all around you...

WOAH! I need to breathe... okay...

There's so much going on... I keep getting offers from various booking agencies to play live, but I can't do it yet, because J.E.L.L.i. live has not been rehearsed or even thought through thoroughly yet.. I'm upset, because I HATE turning down opportunities.. but what can I do? I'm just not ready... I will be for the summer, but not yet..

My friend Krissy interns for indimusictv.com she says that if I make a music video, she can hand it off to them for me.. I got three different offers to record music videos for this summer, but i'm so pre-occupied with recording, rehearsing and promoting that I have spent less than the time it takes to eat a cookie thinking about concepts for my music videos.. (hehe subliminal preparation.. don't worry about this parenthesis...)

Not to mention J.E.L.L.i. is in the beginning baby stages of its business and income from "The J.E.L.L.i. EP" won't cover the cost of making a video.. hehe unless YOU BUY IT!! =D (if you already did, thank you... if you already didn't... well =( Please?

I've also submitted "The J.E.L.L.i EP" to dozens of online music blogs and am awaiting replies... I already got one reply and they said they'll be writing a review about it sometime this week!! I'll be sure to post that.. but the hard thing about submitting stuff to music blogs is that you just gotta keep sending and sending and sending and submitting and submitting and submitting until you finally get a reply... and that's just the way those things go...

I have also decided that i'm not going to go on the internet until the evening of every day... Because when I log on in the morning, i have a barrage of e-mail myspace facebook twiiter smashingpumpkins.com messages, and don't get me wrong, i LOVE talking to fans, i LIVE for connecting with people and enjoying them... but three hours fly by before I even know it.. and that time needs to be spent RECORDING BASS!! I only have like 8 more songs to record and then i'm DONE with bass for all 25 songs!! I'm SOOOO FRIGGIN CLOSE!!! So going on the internet will be a luxury reserved for when all my recording and rehearsing is done for the day... it just has to be that way... ...don't know what else to say... i'm just going to rhyme myself away.... here is where I cannot stay... J.E.L.L.i. is an all-you-can-eat musical buffet, good day.. ;)

Oh Yeah!! and "Aussie" Dave Kirwan (the late great K-ROCK JOCK)
wants to use my music in a documentary that he's shooting... Nice!

Las orejas gigantes como pequeños helados. Sólo tengo una biblioteca en mi pueblo. Caminé aquí para escribir a su sitio web. Gracias por la música!

That translates into this:

"The giant ears like little ice cream. I just have a small library in my village. I walked here to write to your website. Thanks for the music!

I could cry... =*) ¡de nada! You don't have a computer, so you took the time out to walk to your library to talk to me... Pancho, if you are reading this... I swear on my soul when J.E.L.L.i. is famous and i'm making a lot of money, I will buy you a brand new computer, the fastest and best computer that money can buy!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL SO ****ING MUCH!!

I feel so toasty warm...

This will be a bit random,   I don't want to think, I just want to write: 

Life always seems to be changing...  it's because we are always growing...     When I grow,  my life has a "refreshed" feeling that follows that growth..     I love this thing called the internet,   it has the power to keep us connected to people,  no matter how far away they are...  old friends can come back into my life,  I can see into another's world with the click of a "play" button on youtube...  so many worlds to see, so little time...  so many people I wish to experience in my life, so many faces to see, lips to kiss, hands to shake and hugs to hold...   I want everyone...  everyone..   but there's not enough time in my life for everyone...   I miss the people I've left behind,   I can't wait to meet the people on their way to me...   my life is always changing, because i'm constantly growing...    If i wasn't growing,  my life would feel stagnant..       My life is anything but stagnant..   
        There will be time for love,  there will be time for work, there will be time to appreciate the beauty of simple things like a flower on a restaurant table,  put there to make your life just a little more pleasant...  the beauty of the first time you meet a new person, and the limitless possibilities you think about when you look into their eyes...  the beauty of walking outside and smelling the air, feeling the wind, and opening your eyes to the reality that you are alive,  you are here, in this world,  in a body that people have come to call:  "________"   (fill in your name there..)     You are a member of this club,  you are an actor in this worldwide play, a star in your own life... you are a human. The most complex, amazing and power creature created by the creator of all creations.  We are all connected...  I hope you make a cameo into my story..  I'd love to meet you..  every last one of you..

                            A time to breathe and enjoy yourself,

                            With true universal love,
