Much Needed Update!

first off, i want to apologize for being m.i.a. as of recent. trying to stay busy.

with that being said, lets start off with an update on ...You're Welcome. obviously, its not done yet. i got to a point where i was stressing out over it, rushing to get things done and not being satisfied with it. josh saw i was getting a bit flustered with it so he suggested a break just so i can come back to it with more focus. so...i took some time away from the project to give my ears a rest from listening to the same songs for hours a day. however, i feel refreshed, and im still looking forward to releasing it soon! not a lot left to do, found a new bit of excitement for it! and as a treat, here's the official tracklisting (take note that there are going to be interludes, features, and other special fun shit that is not listed below. i mean, i do like surprises...somethings lol):

1. Something Better
2. Friday Night
3. Made It
4. Ready & Willing
5. Fuck Y'all
6. You're Welcome

but while i was on leave from ...You're Welcome, i stayed busy in the studio. josh and i started working on old music from our Avince days, 8 older ones, 8 newer ones, and 2 BRAND NEW tracks. currently using the word "ANCORA" which means "again" or "still" in Italian (self-explanatory). been really productive on that, and to be honest, i really miss playing guitar for hours a day, writing new melodies and riffs, fucking around with drum fills, etc. it reminds me of freshman year in college when josh would come to me with a guitar idea, and by the time he got back to the dorm room from class or work i had a whole song put together (a song called "English" for example). good times. not really sure where this project is gonna take us as far as the band is concerned. guess thats just a bridge we'll all cross when we get to it. all i know is i really love this shit!

with all the productive stuff being said, now on to the wonderful life and times of Rex. like i said before, havent been on here much so i havent vented recently (at least not on here). shit's been a lot different recently...and not completely in a bad way. i do enjoy that ive gotten back to the point where i just dont give a shit anymore, but i think ive grown up a little. ive realzed that sometimes i really do give a shit...and thats when shit gets interesting. not used to it quite yet so i dont really know how to respond. i end up sabotaging myself in some way, but im sure i'll come to terms with it sooner than later. not a fan of pissing myself off haha

onward. so i said this before a long time ago and i really think im proving myself right: i feel like i subconsciously put myself in situations that inspire me creatively. now, at first glance, you might not think thats a bad thing, and im still not sure. but i have a (potentially) bad habit of doing that. i put myself in these "interesting" places and think to myself later, "aww man, this shit would make a good song!" i cant see where thats a great business model haha! i feel like im gonna put myself in a potentially hazardous situation and im not gonna know how to react! im just gonna start writing verses and searching for a guitar or something lol! and it kinda ties into me accepting the fact that i do give shits sometimes.

and just a couple sidenotes:
1. beware of those who can dish it out but cant take it. they're everywhere! closer than you think...and it gets really fucking old. just sayin ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
2. assumptions get you nowhere. cant make decisions based off of what you THINK! KNOW beforehand. otherwise, you could fuck up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ah, that was a bit refreshing! i need to do this more often. i mean, that is what i made this thing for, right? ok, now im off to enjoy my night. peace bitches!

...you're welcome.
