News 2006

October 9th, 2006 - "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ..." Fucking decorations are already out and we haven't had Halloween or Thanksgiving yet. What the fiddley fuck? Just a little under 2 weeks until the "unofficial" 13 year class reunion. If I was smart, I would've had it this Friday the 13th. I'm not so smart. I went to UofP; not real college. Fuck off. It's my education and if I want to make fun of it, I will. Paid enough damn money for it.

October 6th, 2006 - I have a new fire to finish my degree. Studying has begun. Will keep you posted. 18.5 credits to go.

September 26th, 2006 - Damn work has been keeping me busy.

September 18th, 2006 - I added the rest of the europe pics. Enjoy. EUROPE

September 17th, 2006 - CONFIRMED. I'm going to NAMM 2007 in January. SWEET!!!!

September 4th, 2006 - I added some Europe pics ...just the Belgium leg. Enjoy.

September 3rd, 2006 - It's not really any cooler than it was a week or so ago. The heat is hot. Some rains have helped keep it cool. Still jamming away. That's about it. Another update soon.

August 25th, 2006 - So, the year is flying by. What else is new? We're about to enter September. Maybe it will start cooling off, too. It's fucking hot!

August 19th, 2006 - Holy Shit! A month goes by like that. What a busy month. 1 trip to Europe and one trip to Ohio since the last update. SHIT! I'm way behind. Pictures are being posted soon from both trips. CD Sales have picked up some momentum again as well; noth online and personal.

Musically, I've been working with a vocalist and bass player (sort of ... long story, but hopefully it works out). We wrote some songs and it sounds good. The combination of female leads with male backing vox just sounds cool to me. Good dynamics so far.

July 9th, 2006 - Vive la France! Actually, Itally won the world cup, but France is where I will be in exactly 1 week. I'm going to Europe for my first time. Yes, it is business travel, but it is 8 days in Europe. We will be in Strasbourg, France and then Frankfurt, Germany. Expect pictures on the site in early August. I say August because 2 days after I get back from Europe, I'm going to Ohio for a family reunion. I'll have pictures from that trip as well. Talk to you later, bitches!

July 3rd, 2006 - It's tomorrow and I can't record. It pisses me off, but is a great excuse to be lazy today. I'll watch some movies and chill with the doggies I guess.

July 2nd, 2006 - Won our soccer game, but I fell and sprained my wrist in the process. I now can't record, which is what I planned on doing tomorrow, so that sucks. We'll see if I can actually play tomorrow, but I doubt it.

June 30th, 2006 - Soccer game tomorrow and a 4 day weekend. Things are looking up.

June 16th, 2006 - June is flying by as is 2006. I'll be in Ohio in a little more than a month from now for a reunion and to visit the best amusement park in North America; Cedar Point.

June 8th, 2006 - The wedding went great. We only played one song, but it was a song that we had just written in the previous 2 weeks.

June 4th, 2006 - I'm playing my first gig on Wednesday in over 3 years. I'm playing a wedding, of all things, but it is an opportuinty to get in front of people again and play. This could be the springboard to get me out playing again. Stay tuned. Also, I post a lot on myspace. If you don't have an account, get one and add me as your friend. I actually hooked up with my old best friend from 2nd grade that lives 2000+ miles away through myspace. Haven't talked to him in 15+ years.

June 3rd, 2006 - Our soccer team won the championship our first season out. Click here to see the team pic after the game.

May 31st, 2006 - Indy was cool, though I wish Marco Andretti could've pulled out the last second win. Also, too bad Danica wasn't in the front. Now, will someone PLEASE help me find my weiner?

May 25th , 2006 -seriously, anyone seen my weiner?

May 19th, 2006 - So, anyone seen my weiner?

May 2nd , 2006 - ... and in a flash 2006 was nearing the halfway point. There's no stopping father time now, as he has built up the momentum to propel us all into next year before we know it. Obla di Obla da.

April 28th , 2006 - Here is an update - NO MORE FUCKING CLASSES; Just CLEP now. I am taking this week as mine, and then the remaining will belong to CLEP until there is CLEP no more and a degree in business management bearing the name "Bryan Snyder" is legitimately born unto this world. Stained with the blood, sweat, tears, fallen hair (both brown and gray), and the foul stench of 100 vending machine dinners rearing their ugly heads in the single form of a mega gas-demon born deep within my bowels, I will nurture this certificate by hanging it proudly wherever my work takes me.

April 17th , 2006 - I have been suckin' at keeping the new up to date. Degree almost complete now. More updates soon.

March 27th , 2006 - Wow. March flew by. So is 2006. What the fuck? One class to go and 4 clep tests until I get my degree. It's winding down and I a honestly can't wait. 3 years straight of school will hopefully soon pay off. Well, it will because I will have my degree.

March various , 2006 - I lost track of the days, but saw some cool shows. I saw Trap and Chevelle open for Nickleback. Good rock-n-roll show. Then 1 week later I was back in Phoenix watching Bon Jovi. I don't really give a fuck what people think. It was a great concert. That band has good musicians and they were tight as fuck. Plus, JBJ ended up performing Blaze of Glory about 5 feet from us. He had a surrise appearance in the audience and it just so happened to be right next to us. Talk about luck.

March 2nd , 2006 - I just passed my first CLEP test. It cost $70 and gained me 6 credits. I now only need 24 credits of testing and 6 credits of classes. I finish my coursework on April 27th. I hope to have 12 more credits applied by then (2 tests). This is great news!

February 26th, 2006 - A little thing called myspace is the reason for the lack of updates. I have 2 profiles. So, the newness of myspace along with nothing else is the reason for this. Actually, I need no reason because it's my site. Hello to all of my friends coming back or visiting for the first time.

February 17th, 2006 - Today is national blow it out your ass day.

February 12th, 2006 - WARNING. It's late, I'm tired, and there is going to be some serious random shit going on here. So, one month is already in the books of 2006. Hell, half of the second month is in the books. Valentine's Day is coming up. Who cares. What a bullshit holiday. Bitter? Nope. I just like to call bullshit when I see it. There's nothing wrong with dedicating a day to spend with your loved one(s), but the commercialization that has put pressure on couples to get each other something materialistic is the part I hate. At what point did spending quality time together not qualify as a good enough and just buying and having a stranger deliver flowers and chocolates become the norm? I don't get it. Our society is moving along quite rapidly now. If you stop and smell the roses, something will definately pass you by. I say let it go by. Who cares. All I know is that I'm anxious to see how the work demands change in the next 5-10 years. Quality of life needs to be the focus. The problem now is that that is confused with wage to improve the materialistic possessions that falsely improve quality of life. The more you have, the less you have. Something like that, anyway. Maybe I'm getting older ... no, I am getting older. Although, I haven't quite reached the creepy, old guy status yet. I can't wait for that. Something else to look forward to.

Speaking of old, I just realized this weekend that I've now been out of high school for as many years as I was in school (K-12). How the fuck did that happen? Time has definately picked up its pace, or so it seems. I better pick up the pace on playing with myself.

January 30th, 2006 - Hello to all the crackers of the world. Crackers come in different colors, sizes, and shapes. Whether you're a saltine (like me), a wheat thin (like my Egyptian brother Karim), or pretzeled (like my brother from India, Nags) we're all a bunch of crackers. I'll give a break down of the cracker types soon and you can classify you and your friends into whatever catagory you want. Just remember that in the end, we're all a big chex party mix.

January 29th, 2006 -More pics up on the NAMM06 page. Thanks for sending them to me, Joe.

January 28th, 2006 -One week until the Superbowl. Then, football season is over for too long. Rumors are the Vikings are going to trade Daunte Culpepper away for draft picks and whatever else they can get. That would mean Brad Johnson would be the starting quarterback. Talk about coming full circle. So, time will tell.

January 26th, 2006 -My best friend, Joe, doing a piece on the AK-47 that will air in the US On the Discovery Channel soon.

January 24th, 2006 - NAMM was awesome. Look at the first wave of pics here.

January 18th, 2006 - Colorado was a blast. See the pictures and storyline here. I'm off to NAMM in Anaheim tomorrow morning with Jim again. This year we're bringing Doug and Joe. Should be fun. I'll be back on Sunday. Keep an eye out for some more pics. This is my last trip before I graduate in June.

January 11th, 2006 - Getting ready to go to Colorado for some snowmobiling. Should be a blast.

January 6th, 2006 - Go to the Fiesta Bowl to see the pictures and a story from the game day.

January 6th, 2006 - Getting close to vacation time. Going to go snowmobiling in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and then I'm off to my second year at NAMM in Anaheim. It's going to be a busy month.

January 2nd, 2006 - Fiesta Bowl. Yes, I went to the game. Go to the pics and see. I got my hands on two tickets and went with my brother to the game. Ohio State vs. Notre Dame. Being from Ohio, I had to go for OSU, but in all reality I didn't care who won. It was a good game. We started off at the Biltmore Resort in Phoenix. That place was awesome. The architecture was done by Frank Lloyd Wright. We ate great food and drank whatever we wanted (for free). From there, we loaded onto a bus headed for Sun Devil stadium. We actually had a police escort to and from the game. Living like a king, baby! Our seats weren't bad (they were free, no complaints here).

January 1st, 2006 - HAPPY NEW YEAR. 2005 is already in the history books. What the fuck? Where did it go? Here's a recap of 2005. One thing that I didn't mention, but it pretty much goes without saying, is that I played with myself. A lot!! Here's what else happened.
