Somebody get an organ to play

Time passes... slowly, quickly, away, by, on... these are all relative terms. Time passes, that much we DO know. But I digress.

I recently experienced something I've never experienced before and quite hopefully never will again. That being the wedding of my younger and only brother Jeremy. I also had the first-time experience of being a best man in a wedding. It was an incredible experience being able to stand next to my brother as he and his wife said their vows and as Pastor Greg Glover delivered a message of profound biblical proportions. I may have cried a bit. It cut me deep!

The reception held at the dolphin pavilion at the Indianapolis Zoo was really quite nice. We got to check out the dolphins and bust some fat moves to the phat beats of all your favorite dance party hits! I will tell you that you've never experienced anything quite like a Rockey wedding reception. Needless to say, all were exhausted by the end of the evening. Plus, my retarded tux jacket somehow mysteriously disappeared. I'm looking at a $130 fee on top of the $150 rental fee unless it turns up. I'm currently taking donations.

Recording has FINALLY started on the new album! Tracks for two songs are currently being laid down in the Mustard Room with more on the way. I'm so excited to being getting these songs on record and sharing them with others. I'll have some audio clips available soon.

Keep cool my babies!

  1. a new j-rock album, HAZAA!!! dude, i miss ya majorly. It feels like 13452345234624352346423 years since i saw you last and that is a long time. Glad to hear your best man-ing went well, and if you perhaps slip the cashier a Senor Washington dollar you prolly won't have to pay the fee.Keep it flowin' as always and hopefully i see ya soon, if not here's to Joel and Kyle in 2008! (that's right we should tell the world (or atleast america (triple parenthesis...that tompkins is suuuuch a renegade))about our run for the presidency...oh and tell ourselves while we're at it)

  3. jr... how i miss you and your lovely wife! How i miss CGPC and all its ups and downs! How i miss the many fiscal debates i've shared with you, miranda, chris, and amy! oh the good times... lol. I hope that the Lord is keeping you well, and (dinner jacket aside) in good humours. Very exciting a/b your new album... i must say that is pretty hard core, and i look forward to listening to the phat beats quite soon. i fear i must leave betimes, due to an impending exam tomorrow in my hardest class...yikes! But i hope to get the chance to catch up with you soon.

He does?Just wondering but what are you doing with Pho's toe?I like the newest photo on themustard room of you me and kip, it captures the moment I think.I really like taking pictures these days. It is fun!And that Baja Blast turned an arby's-running-out-of-roast-beef-and-making-customers-very-angry-which-in-turn-made-me-very-angry night, into a tropical-storm-in-my-mouth-exciting night.
