Rebel Without a Pause

[NOTE : The follow contains text which as of 02/06 remained inconclusive and dishonest.]

Tonite marks the first of a whole new year. Yay. I haven't posted as much on this blog recently, and much of the reason has to do with me not exactly liking the direction of the blog, if any.

Starting next week, blogging away in LA will literally be typed as bloggingawayinLA.blogspot.com
I will be updating it on a semi-daily basis, and will talk about my home away from home whom I call home: sweet lady Los Angeles. I will also venture into podcasting panel discussions in the future. I would also like to showcase more LA-based bands, past and present.

As for are-oh-vee.blogspot.com , this blog will be focusing more on bands featured on the long-running-yet-canceled-in-2001 music video showcase that was Are-Oh-Vee. I will be digging deep into my VHS video vault of this show (12 tapes full, including Punk-O-Rama, Launch Countdown, and BPM) and possibly try to post uploaded moments/videos of the series. I will also venture into the world of my other daily interests: comic books, film, television, and even pro wrestling. Woooo!


Thanks to everyone who supported me, and I'm sorry to the many I haven't gotten back to. I know I suck.

Starting the year with a bang: a song that is quite unorthodox at first, yet suiting. Still relavant 18 years later. Christ, I feel old.

So long and thanks for all the fish!
