At first, there was no way that she was going to remove herself from the dashers — but within an hour, she was all about skating away from the boards and learning how to fall correctly, not to mention enjoying it all! If you’ve been following this site, there have been other pictures with Brianna Ice-Skating, but this one’s truly special, for she truly learned her appreciation of it — I think I may need to buy her a pair of more comfortable skates (which I must say, I’d much appreciate too {I really miss my skates, Jeff!}). Without further ado, here’s Bree, ice skating!…

I love to dance. The thing I most love to do is go anywhere with my family. There are a lot of stars that I like. I really wish to be one someday. My favorite two shows are The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and Hanna Montana. I love my family very much, and I am happy I have them. My favorite movie is The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. I love animals, I love my pets, and the thing I most love is my family.

This is how we passed the time when school was closed due to the Valentine’s Day Blizzard of 2007!

Brianna’s doing really great in school — she was recently declared top in her class! Tonight, her school had their annual Christmas concert, and she made me so proud! Watch for yourself!


I almost balled while taping her performance. Afterwards, we rewarded her with a steak dinner! At any rate, look for more holiday-related posts soon. I promise to take more pictures and videos!

Instead of the measly 2.5 hour days at Lakewood Public Schools, we decided that she deserved more opportunity to learn. She’s attending Madison Community School, which is a member of Constellation Community Schools, and has class from 8:30 until 3. Much to our delight (and surprisingly Brianna’s), she’s required to wear a uniform!

NOTE: This entry will be a work in progress for an indefinite period of time. Feel free to revisit it often to see what’s changed.

Before I decided to make Information Technology my carreer of choice, I was a rock star. Well, I was pretty close, anyway. Train of Thought was the last band I was in — Click the triangle below to listen to my last recording:

Download Train%20Of%20Thought%20-%20Deliberately%20%5bEntire%20Album%5d.mp3

The album, entitled “Deliberately”, was recorded in late ‘97/early ‘98, so please be forgiving if it sounds a little out of date ;)

Deliberately CD Cover

TOT was formed in Beaumont, Texas circa ‘94; right about at the time I left the University of Houston where I was a Percussion Major. I was in a band called Sloane, and we opened a few shows for TOT. When TOT’s drummer flaked out and quit right after the band signed a recording contact in ‘95, I was invited to play drums for them in the studio — I guess they thought I didn’t suck, or something. I remember driving from Houston to the audition in Beaumont with my brother, Jeff, and that night, at a hole-in-the-wall diner, I concluded that I would be an idiot not to quit Sloane.

TOT was signed with MIA Records (which later became Cage Records), the brainchild of Shaun Barusch. Some of the bands we played with included Deep Purple, Kings X, and Fates Warning. As you can probably tell, our sound was an eclectic mix of Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Tool, The Police and The Cure, among other influences. Our shows were original in that we weren’t one of those bands that locked into a specific groove or style — our catalog of original music was dynamic, which prevented listener burnout. Some of the covers we played at our longer shows included Small Hours by Metallica, Airbag by Radiohead, Suffragette City by David Bowie, Surrender from Cheap Trick, and Breath from Pearl Jam. Indeed, we were not a boring band to watch/hear.

I definitely do not regret being involved in the music business, for it was a very passionate and fulfilling experience that delivered some of the best memories and experiences of my life.

More to come…
