  What's up everyone!?
  I just wanted to drop a quick line to wish everyone a happy holiday season. May your santa bring you all the gadgets your hearts desire!!! Things are going very well right now...busy but good. I'm finishing up finals in school trying to complete my Degree in Business and Multi-Media. I gotta get a real job some day huh?

  Anyway, besides that I'm trying to record and write every free second I get. I've been commuting back and forth to L.A. a ton this last month or so doing the same. On top of that I'm getting ready for a few Christmas shows in the next few weeks in Salt Lake and Saint George. So if you're in the area, come check it out. It's called "Joy to the World".

  Well, take care of yourselves, drink plenty of egg nog, and do me a favor...everyone send Alex a bag of coal. He did that to me one year...I'm still trying to get over it.
  Merry Christmas everyone!!!
