The problem with this is that in business there is no real true friendship....just business relationships that should be strictly dedicated to making the business operate correctly. In a real business you make decision based upon facts...These guys had no facts about the decision they made, nor did they have the guts to talk to me about certain things that they felt they did not like. This is not how business is ran in the real world. Real businesses make decision models in order to make the business operate within standard guidelines.

I'm sad to say that my big opporutunity to make it in the music industry has slowly faded and died out. I have lost more than these guys could ever imagine. I quit my band Lost Dog to be with these guys, I took off work to go to the studio for these guys with 2 day notices, I would go to work for 9-10 hours a day come home and practice for 3 horus straight, I took all my freetime & dedicated it to this project, I spent countless hours of my time in the studio trying to make parts perfect for this project....all for what? What will I have to show for all of this? NOTHING!

I have nothing at all to show for the work that I have done for these guys and this project. These guys have personally damaged my lifely livelihood and my character. These is nothing that they can do to give back the time, energy, and money that I have lost. On the other hand, I will be looking for compensation for the time, money, sacrifices, & energy that I put into this project.

To all the people that know me. You all know that I am one of the hardest worker when it comes to life. I work countless hours and spend countless amounts of time working on the progression in my life. I am a role model and I'm a great ambassador for the music industry. I am a hardworking american citizen with a dream of becoming a professional musician one day. This dream was almost vangished after what happened last night. I was on the verge of dropping everything and telling myself that this isn't for me.....But after thinking about it for the past 16+ hours I have convinced myself I am not finished. I have worked too hard and have developed too good of a hear for music to just QUIT.

A wise man once told me there are 3 types of people in this world:

People who make things happen
People who watch things happen
People who wonder what happened

The guys I was dealing with are wondering what is happening around them. They have no clue what is out there. They are stuck in their own selfish world & always have their hands out looking for something free...they are no even in the american system that makes this country run.

I was not working with great musicians nor men. I was working with kids who think they no...but have no idea. I was working with mediocore musicians who songs sucked before they met up with the producer who changed their life.

I was working with a great management company and an excellent producer. I like these guys alot and have learned alot for these guys. I have no hard feelings toward these guys as they have really helped me out and given me a great opportunity. This was not their decision...it was the bands decision.

My conclusion:
I have alot of anger built up inside of me right now for the way I was treated. I do not wish this upon anybody. I have never been treated like this in my whole life by anyone and I feel for people who have been let down the way I was let down last night. I will become the musician that I want to be...not by someone giving it to me...but by making it happen myself with the help of people who are successful in the music industry....I HAVE A DREAM TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN!

Other then that life is good. I just got back on my boxing workout. I did 20 minutes yesterday and 20 minutes today....my whole body is aching but it's well worth shedding off the extra pounds. I've been eating horrible and not spending too much time with music. I have to get back down to 190-195. It should only take a good 3-4 months.

Other then that life is good!

basically the blog will go on about how I suck at design because the clients here at my work seem to have brilliant design ideas and think my designs suck.

Saturday Night

So Saturday night comes around...I'm all excited about my date I have lined up. So me and this girl I met at the sevendust concert are supposed to go on a date last night...well I should have known I'D GET STOOD UP FOR THE 1,000 CONSECUTIVE TIME. I need to check the guiness book of records to see if I'm in the running for most consecutive stand ups in a row. I bet I could have the record no doubt. These fucking girls around this town are so fucking scandulous it's not even funny. They PISS ME THE FUCK OFF! So here I am back to practicing celibacy until the next one comes around.

So back on topic.

So I'm like "wtf going on here..." I check my phone she leaves me a text message "Hey I'm stuck in the Cape...Sorry" well this is the funny part...because this girl thinks I was fuckin born yesterday or something. She already told me she was at work and would call when she got out....well she never called...she texted and gave me some bullshit line about how she's stuck. So I call her she picks up...I hear music in the background...blah blah blah....A new born infant would know she was at a club. So I'm like

Me: "so you never called me after work...and now your stuck in cape...whats the deal"
Abby: "Ugh...I don't have a ride...I'm stuck in the cape"
Me: "I already know that, but what I'm asking is what's the deal, what happened to us going out?"
Abby: "Nothing...I'm at....I'm at my girlfriends house and she picked me up from work and I don't have a car"
Me: "oh that's funny because you drove to work yourself and then your friend picks you up...now you're at her house with blazing loud music...You must think I was born yesterday.."
Abby: "Oh no baby I want to hang out tonight..I'm just stuck in the cape."
Me: Hangs ups the phone gets fucked up for the rest of the night wondering if there are any real women even living in existence.

So that's pretty much it...another bites the dust. These girls now-a-days are fuckin scandulous...I can't stand em to be honest. They think they are so slick, and so smart, and just so good looking. YOU AREN'T FUCK! I should have known but hey what can I do? cry about it? FUCK YEA SONNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what the good old internet is for. So I'm back at square 1...on the prowl for my future wife.

this is just a bitch journal really....because I'm a big bitch myself I like to bitch about things people bitch about here on these forums. Confused? I hope so!

So I'm browsing the forums while waiting for work to come in here at the office. I see multiple forums about how people want to lose weight. They want advice on what they should do. I give advice and nobody listens. They think that fat just falls off of their body by being on some BONK ASS DIET.

NEWS FLASH!!!!!!

THAT ISN'T HOW IT FUCKING WORKS DUMBASSES!

I've broken down steps on how to lose pounds.

Step 1: Stop eating stupid shit like hot pockets, ramen noodles, candy, chocolate (i know ladies you need for that special time of the month), fast food, hamburger meat, chips...ect I could keep on listing but you get the idea.

Step 2: Invest in some good food like Chicken Breast (yea I like breasts so what?), Lean Beef (not that garbage ass 50 / 50 shit), fruits, vegetables(carrots are great snacks...makes you shit orange though), SOUP! List can go on you get my drift.

Step 3: WORK THE FUCK OUT! When i say that I don't mean "oh im going to the gym to work out" and you don't work out. You start aching and you think you got a good workout in so you go home. That's not a good workout. If you're looking to lose weight...you need to be doing a fully body aerobic excersive...something that is getting your heart rate up and keeping it up. You need to do atleast 30 minutes in order to shed weight. A good workout that I do is boxing and kickboxing. I do 5, 5 minute rounds of punching bag workout and then I do 3, 3 minute rounds of kicks. I guarantee you that if you do a boxing workout you will lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks. If you dont...you're not working out hard enough.

Step 4: Get your fat fuckin ass off the computer. I'm on the computer 5 days a week for 8 hours a day...yea I could be obiest, but instead I work my ass off when I get home and I stay off of the computer when I get off of work. I find myself being very active on the weekends. You should do the same thing if you're trying to lose weight. You're body will burn 1 calorie and hour if you're on the computer. 1 A FUCKING HOUR!! THAT'S BONK AS FUCK! I don't see you losing weight if you're only burning 1 calorie an hour. So get your fat fuckin ass of the computer ad go outside and do something.

Step 5: Don't just workout for a week and think you're going to look like Jessica Alba or Brad Pit. That doesn't happen! So I know people get discouraged because they say "oh i'm not losing weight...i've been at the gym for a month and i don't see results." THATS BECAUSE YOU SEE YOURSELF EVERYDAY! I suggest that you don't look at your self at all in the mirror when you start your diet and workout. I know you girls need to look all pretty and all that...but try to do your makeup and that's it. Don't stand in front of the mirror trying to rub one out thinking about how you're not losing weight. Just keep on working out and you will see results.

Step 6: If you've made it to step 6 then I am proud of you. Step 6 means that you have seen results and now you can reward yourself with a clark bar or something. Here's the thing okay? Just because you start looking good doesn't mean you stop working out. That's the biggest mistake I see with people who workout. They workout for a good 3 months....see results and then stop working out and a month later they are back where they started out at. You need to be consistent with your workout. All you have to do is workout 3 times a week and you'll stay where you are at. Remember a scale is only showing you how much you weigh....not how much body fat you have. So don't even bother weighing yourself until 3 months after you started working out.

There you go...the bitching is over. Now go to KFC and order a 12 piece bucket of chicken fat and get to work.

AND YOU MOTHER FUCKERS NEED TO START COMMENTING ON MY ARTWORK MORE! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!!!!!!

It's going to be about people on the forum's here creating threads about how they want to lose weight. I'm tired of reading their shit.

It should be a good journal that basically boycotts people talking about working out and not putting in the time to lose weight.

if not by the end of the day...sometime by the end of the week.

GFY!!!!

band had a gig last Saturday at the lehigh spring festival...we did good. We'll be playing may 18th for our next gig.

Everyone enjoy...i'll try and get some good pics of the band up.

]]> ~xstortionist http://xstortionist.deviantart.com/journal/17238474/ http://xstortionist.deviantart.com/journal/17238474/ Sat, 08 Mar 2008 10:45:51 PST
So I've been doing alot of working here lately. I've had some time to throw together some wallpapers for brock lesnar and joe satriani. You can check them out in my portfolio.

Other then work I've been playing in the band 2 times week now. We have a gig at the Lehigh Spring Festival April 5th which is my birthday. I'll be 22! So wish me a happy birthday! Other then that We'll be playing at a bar called rockstars in May and We are lined for doing studio recording in the summer.

Other then that I've been religious with my workout routines. I'm down to 205-210(flux) lbs right now. I was at 235 about a year ago. I feel really good about my progress. I feel and look like I'm back in high school again. I am still doing my boxing routine where I box for 30 minutes and now I'm doing a kicking excersises to help me kicking. I'm stuck at a weight where It's hard to lose fat / water weight. I can only see myself getting super ripped if I dehydrate myself like all those muscle bound freaks on the commercials on TV. I've found out that alot of MMA Fighters that cut weight before fight usually end up being 10-20 pounds over weight a week before their fights. They dehyrate themselves to lose the weight which makes them look ripped. It's not natural and I'm out of that mindset.

Well hope everyone has a great weekend.

Later

Other than that I've been working out constantly these past few months....I'm not up to 4 times a week with 45 minute boxing workout and 15 minute freeweight workout. I've lost 20 pounds...i was weighing 235 before and now I weight 215. I think I can get down to 205 if i really push it...and then i'd be considered a light heavywieght which is a good thing.

Other than that i've just been chilling and by the way Kimbo Slice won this weekend against Bo Cantrell. He won in 19 seconds of the first round with a TKO...the guy was so scared that when he got hit he immedietaly hit the mat and started tapping out...it was so funny.

well everyone have a great week hope everyone is doing well.

peace!

I have to say I was a little dissapointed with the venue considering that like 6 of the 9 fights were won by decision. We will see what happens next month with Anderson Silva Fighting.

lets hope FEDOR will live up to his name...other than that UFC 75 was packed with alot of great fights, but one huge dissapointing fight for me...cro cop get ur head in the game.

Now the next favorite fight of mine was GSP (George St. Pierre) vs. Josh Koscheck. GSP was coming out of a horrible first round knock out delivered by Matt Serra. With nothing to lose GSP came into this fight with all attention to defeate his trash talking oppenent Josh Koscheck. First round was a feel your oppenent type of round. With Koscheck feeling out GSP with a couple of jabs and a over the head Haymaker to check GSP. His first round strategy didn't work...GSP gave Koscheck a taste of his own medicine by wrestling the all-american wrestler to the matt and perform a beautiful ground and pound strategy. Round 2 was def. given to Pierre and come Round 3 both fighter were already winded and GSP strategy was to run the clock out and win by Decision which is what he did. GSP is reborn and is hungry to regain the welterweight title back. Matt Serra you can run but not hide!

Next Venue for UFC is Sept. 8th which is title Champion Vs. Champion. I am very excited to watch the upcoming card fights reason 1 being Mirko Cro Cop is fighting Chieck Kongo... and to top that off Light-heavy weight Champion Rampage Jackson is fighting PrideFC's welterweight and middle weight title holder Dan Henderson. I'm a fan of both of these fighters..but I think Dan will defeate his oppenent if he takes the fight to the ground..otherwise Rampage will just drop bomb on him in probably knock him out or TKO him. We will see what happens. I do know that Rampage has been training with Randy Coutures Team which is where Dan Henderson learned most of his ground game techniques. We will see what happens.

Below are the UFC Fight Card Winners and Losers. Enjoy

Prelim Card:

-Clay Guida def. Marcus Aurelio via Split Decision (30-27, 29-28, 30-27) after 3 Rounds.

So after watching the movie the boss takes us to dwyers (irish pub) for drinks and socializing. While I'm in the mix of getting drunk and making everyone laugh my boss goes "derek how much money will it take for you to let my wife give u an extreme make over which consists of a short hair cut, facial hair trimming, and new set of clothes." I hesitated and before I could even get a word out my boss' wife Carry says "$500 dollars." My eyes get big and I immediately say "YES I'LL DO IT!". So within the next month I will be going from Long hair to short Hair...I am a little excited because the long hair is getting on my nervous and I'm really excited about getting the $500. So after that we continue to drink and get flistered and cut up the club. after about 2:00am i decide to go home after partying . So all and all I had a great weekend. I hope everyone had a safe weekend.!

also I got the raise I was hoping for...thats for everyone who was asking.

Only bad thing is that I didn't workout all weekend or work with my punching bag, speed bag, and DEB Bag. It actually was a good thing because I keep on injuring my right hand/wrist because of my improper techniques. I'm supposed to have an old boxing trainer come over sometimet his week so he can show me some basics and then I'll be moving onto YMCA to get in with a real trainer.

everyone have a great week!

Other then all I just got good news that Cro Cop will be figthing Cheick at UFC 75 in September. I can't wait to watch the fight...if cro cop wins he will probably fight arlwski for a title shot against Couture or Ganzaga (rematch I've been waiting for). So all in all I'm happy that Cro Cop will be fighting another known striker.

Grandma is recovering well...She gets out of hospital this Saturday and I'll be visiting her this weekend sometime. Also Saturday I have a graduation to go to for a good friend of mine. I'm very happy to see she passed her graphic design classes/college and she is currently working in the field too. So this weekend should be good.

I just bought a DEB (Double End Bag) and a Speed Bag Kit for my MMA training that i've been putting myself throuhg these past weeks. I'm looking to better my skills and acquire technique at the same time. I'm currently looking into a local YMCA to see if they have any boxing trainers or any boxing classes that I'll be able to benefit from.

Other then all that I'm doing pretty good and having a great time with the stuff that I'm doing.

everyone have a great week.

As some ofu know Cro Cop lost his last match in UFC against Gonzaga in the first round with a taste of his own medicine (kick to the head Flash Knockout). Since his lose Cro Cop bought a cage and put it in his basement to train. He told media in Croatia that he has been training 4 hours a day and was not going to take a summer vacation. Which to me means he is ready to take a UFC belt.

Lets see if Cro Cop can Get the Heavy weight belt by the end of the year.

My life is beginning to suck again, and I just feel depressed and worthless more and more everyday....what am i to do?

I guess go see the dr. and have them give me some medicine that will probably ruin my life even more. I just can't seem to stay happy...one day i'm happy and the next day i'm sad and I feel depressed. I don't know what's wrong with me anymore. I am scared that I'll be this way forever. I'm scared to get help too. I wish I wasn't such an idiot in alot of area's in my life right now.

one day....just one day I won't feel this way.

also...just had a good friend die too...so i guess there's another one

I went out last night and bought some supplement drink because I can't eat. It's really pasty though and I need a blender to thin it out. I will just have to deal with it. It's called MET-RX and it's for muscle gain. I'm going to start drinking it for my lunch and see how the results are after a month. If i see a difference I will keep using it...if not I will just stop it and go back to my tuna (im bout sick of fish though).

well I hope I stay in a good mood...I have some ideas for my next deviation. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I feel better and full of joy
I am full of energy like a little boy
Alot has happened in the past few days
I have started to relax in this giant size maze

I think Im going to just quit
I'll be healther and be more fit
Even though it makes me feel great
It's an addiction and one day it might be too late
to conclude this poorly written note
I'm thinking about someone special who will get my #1 Vote

Today was a good day and I hope I can keep the rest of my week like this. I think I will because I am just thinking about the weekend.

thoughts streaming a million miles a second
but for one minute I can feel free
Free of all the thought in which I can't comprehend
I dont know how I feel right now
I don't know what the truth is
I don't know why I must ask these questions
Why can't I recieve a simple answer?
Why can't I accept the truth?
Why must I beat myself up?
Accept what has been offered
Accept what has been givin
Do Not Accept the same more than once.
Time is the only factor of what my perception is
Can I live much longer with the time of emptyness that I have begun to fear?

Time will Only Tell.
