Living a transient existence is a rough existence. Always tired, never satisfied, never complete. Always feeling like I'm searching for something thats just around the corner, never feeling like the corner gets any closer though.

I *finally* got flash player to output with JACK today without using pulseaudio.
On debian, you must change your /home/username/.asoundrc to the following:
pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "jack" } }
pcm.jack { type jack playback_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:playback_1 1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 } capture_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:capture_1 1 alsa_pcm:capture_2 } }
ctl.mixer0 { type hw card 1 }
apt-get install libasound2-plugins
Now your alsa apps should run through jack by default

Apparently google chrome for linux and my rich text editor aren't friends. Whatever. I have been busy with life and living lately, and thus I haven't kept up on my site. I ended up quitting LTC, the band I had with Matt and the Scalises for obvious reasons. Shit, my world has been pretty upside down lately. Jason recently left to join the army, so It's been weird with him gone. All of my musical projects have been in a sort of stagnation again, but it happens. I'm hoping the project with Marcos picks up a little more, because thats what I'd like to do honestly. Playing games of magic has been more unpossible, because of a very unexpected falling out. I reboot my computer into Windows yesterday to play a game called "Lucidity" by LucasArts. The graphics and sound are fantastic, and the gameplay is fun. It was $10, so the price was right. I can't play it on any other computer I own, because apparently even games that aren't that graphic intensive are outpacing my hardware. What a pain in the ass. I wish more games were made for Linux. I need to focus on recording more.

This weekend, I stayed up late every night, hanging out with friends, or family. I saw my late friend Christian's sister, Molly, in a very unexpected one day visit. It was nice to see her, although I felt like I didn't actually catch up as much as I would have liked. I went to a really cool show the next night at Merriweather called "Bugs on Broadway" with Isis. It had about an hour and a half of Looney Tunes cartoons, with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra doing the score for most of it. One of the reasons I love old cartoons is the expressive nature of the score, since it was done with a full symphony. Cartoons today just don't have that kind of mastery involved. It's an art that has been really lost for the most part. I have a show coming up with my band, although it's some kind of private party, at a public place, where I'm playing with my band, but not getting paid. Wait, what? I'm kind of annoyed to say the least. I'd love to play some real shows for once, or have people come out to see me play.
I feel like I am at a serious crossroad in my life. Something huge is going to happen. I know it seems like everything is the same, like I am churning through the same endless bullshit I do everyday, but something... something seems different to me. Like the smell, and calm breeze, just before a snowfall. Like the receding of the tides before a tsunami, I think it won't be long now before things are going to change significantly for me.
