| Yep |
Yeah, well, I guess it's pretty safe to say that it's all a whole bunch o' nothing. I've done nothing but "teach". I use the quotation marks because, really, can you call it teaching when you talk and talk and no one listens...kinda like here, eh? Anyway, I suck donkey balls as a musician, really. It's not that I couldn't get any better, I just don't practice. I don't have it as a priority and so it doesn't get done. I play a bunch of open chords and maybe a few barre chords. I'm pretty happy when I learn a new chord shape. But really, I think my priorities are more along the lines of teaching, working out (trying to stop being so damned fat), and de-stressing (without using my brain, which guitar-playing requires). I do enjoy going to shows, though. Weenie Roast is coming up; hopefully I can go. |
| Band Names |
Yeah, so we've been like doing nothing for a while. I got back into school and have a good relationship going and all, so there's that stuff distracting me from writing. And I was in Australia for a while so I'm still living off the glow of that for now. Anyway, I was listening to my friend Jordan Munoz's songs on my computer at school when one of my students asked me what I was listening to. I said, "Your mom." Childish, yes. But the kid thought it was really a band. I thought, "Hey that would be a pretty cool name." Just imagine, "Your Mom sucks...hard." "I saw Your Mom last night." "Your Mom rocks my socks off." "Coming on stage next--Your Mom." Yep, sounds like a cool gimmick to me. I checked on Google to see if it was a band name already. The closest thing I could find was a band named "Say Hi To Your Mom". I think I may be on to something.
Anyway, listen to Jordan's music if you like that college alternative type of stuff. It's pretty decent sounding stuff, actually. Jordan used to live down the street from me. We used to play baseball all the time. Now he's a rockin' musician and I'm a teacher with lame-o website that no one reads. Oh, and I play terrible music, too. So, yeah, give him a listen. He's got samples on his website and I'd pick up the EP if I were you. I think he'll be going places and you can say you were in on it from the beginning.

| Type your title here. |
 Ok, so yeah, I was telling you about how we had a new name and how things change...down in that paragraph down there...see it? Okay, well, things have changed again. plickfu wasn't exactly thrilled with the last name anymore. So, we decided on a new name which will be our working title for now, could change later on...We are: OSVALDO. It's from an inside joke, that we'll have to explain time and again if we ever make it under that name. Okay, so yeah, that pic is us playing our latest (lamest) hit, "Stupid Punk!" Yes, I'm actually singing for that one!

| Summary: Disillusion |
We've got a name...for now. Things change constantly, though so we'll see. Then again, the name is pretty reflective of how things always change. Also, plickfu and I were talking about things getting all mucked up in life one day and how we kind of band together when this happens...we're best friends, what else would we do? Many things in our personal lives have been changing and our music has been rather representative of such things (obviously, you can see it in our lyrics). You can hear it in our playing, if you've been lucky enough to catch us practicing in my living room. So, here we are, Summary Disillusion. We got the name from a legal form: a summary of dissolution. What is a summary of dissolution?
A summary dissolution is a more simple way of getting a marriage dissolved in California. (definition stolen from some divorce website). There are a bunch of other things you need in order to qualify for this thing...stuff like married less than five years and no kids and junk like that. Anyway, I kept screwing up the name and kept calling it a "Summary of Disillusionment" (which I think is better anyway). plickfu said, "Hey, that'd be a cool band name." Then, we shortened it. Now we're back at square one again...but at least we have a name.
Hello, I'm flocat and I present to you:
Summary Disillusion |
| What on earth are you doing here? |
 Hi. I'm flocat. How are you? Excellent. Anyway, that's me over there. Aren't I just making the greatest face ever? I play. I was the singer/songwriter for the greatest imaginary band that almost was: THE POPPYCOCKS! Just like that, in all caps and with the exclamation point. But, stuff sort of fizzled. Recently, however, I've musically reconciled with the guy that is my best friend music or no. He had been the drummer and the guy with the idea of the band to begin with. Well, when we didn't work it out the first time, we just sort of dedicated ourselves to being stupid as usual. Just the other day (4/26/03), we worked on our first demo. And know what? It wasn't not bad! We also came up with some little diddies when we jammed.
But, what's the deal with the website? Well, I'm lonely and have nothing to do when I get home from my dayjob except for stuff relating to my dayjob. So, this is my new stuff to work on. Plus, who knows, we may not suck so much one day, and we'll create a real band and we'll need this site for the promotion stuff or something...and then, well, that'll be about it. Wow, look at how I mangled that previous sentence. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have a degree in English. |
| Who's that sexy beast? |
 This here is plickfu. He's the drummer guy I was telling you about above. Well, now, he's not drumming. He's on bass. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention above so I'll mention it here--I'm now on guitars and vocals. I just need to figure out how to do them at the same friggin' time. Anyway, I made sure to have a large pic of plickfu here so that you could see right up into his nose. Look long enough and you may find the hidden gold in his left nostril...it may just be a booger on second thought. He's a funny guy...maybe I should let him write up his bio or something. So far, it's just him and me in the band without a name. Though, we kind of decided on the Cockypop Productions thingie you see down there. Yep.
