THE SOAPBOX
A chance for me to vent on whatever subject comes up!!
May 26th 2006
I could bitch and moan about all kinds of things
Especially the b.s. of trying to buy a house
But I ain't gonna do that
I will make a statement to the person or person's in Amsterdam Holland
who broke into our tour bus last November during the bands tour of Europe
YES I know you are surfing this website a lot
YES I know you recently tried to access my Paypal account
I know that you took a laptop, several digital camera's, video Camera's
$500 American cash and every bit of ID I had
Speaking of ID
you might think real hard about getting rid of my Dept Of Defense ID
The USA Gov't will cook your ass if your caught with it
If you haven't figured it out from the things you stole
I am a Global Computer Network Security Expert
Everytime you access my site and or try to get into paypal
I know where it's coming from
So I ain't just some long haired dope smoking hippie-wanna-be rockstar
I'll get to the point
The things you stole have all been replaced
Later that night we all got drunk together and bonded in a way we had never before
Your theivery caused that
For that I thank you
What you took of value was our pictures
There was two weeks worth of tour pictures on that laptop
Memories are always there but the pictures remind you of the memory
If there is anything of value you took, it's that
We all visited my grandfathers grave
I'm sure you've seen the picture on the other pages of this website
That's a still shot from a video camera that you didn't steal because you didn't find it
The photo's are not replaceable
So if it was your intent to cause emotional pain you were successful
I want to thank you for not taking my guitar
The one that was in the case in the back top bunk
IF you had, you'd might as well have taken my leg or heart
So Thanx for leaving it behind
Since your a thief I doubt you beleive in God or Karma
I beleive your stealing on my things is KARMA for my wrong doings of the past
So I hold no grudge
As you can tell it does still piss me off a bit
I only wish you would send me a CD with all of the pictures that I miss
I figure you ran around the corner a block or so away and sold our items to that 'We buy electronics' store
So most likely the photo's are gone
You were my KARMA so beware
someone will deliver yours in time
Maybe while your eating lunch a block away

I really need to get a digital camera
I was hangin out on the tour bus last night with Comedian Ron White and Alex Reymundo
If you don't know, Ron was on The Blue Collar Comedy Tour
He's the one that does "They Call Me Tater Salad"
www.tatersalad.com
They had just finished a show in Riverside California
The show was funny
Alex is one of the Latin Kings Of Comedy
www.alexreymundo.com
Hangin' with them afterwards in the bus and the hotel bar
well......that was just a hoot !!!

Yes I know I used the TH on the above date
I just wanted to make you think for a second
;-) "Made ya look" :)
I was talking with a friend recently who made what I found
to be a rather disturbing statement
It told me he was actually living his life, in such a manner
He said " I can't wait till I retire, so I can live the life I want to live "
That really blew me away
March 6th 2006
I just love junk e-mails
Hell I know I must need a bigger dick, "Manhood" as they call it
I get at least five e-mails a day telling me so
Dadgum !! So it "must" be true
Ya know I ain't never " Cybered " so how the fuck do they know ??

REPORT ON THE HBO-COMEDY CENTRAL TRIP
It was totally badass
It was such a joy to be around positive professional people
It was all top-notch level
There was a 35-member crew
Each having multiple years of experience and were very blown away when they heard me play
Most importantly they were happy to tell me what they thought, as I praised their abilities as well
It made for such a wonderfully warm work environment
They did all the Limo's and red carpet
no kiddin' red carpet, photographers, fans clapping and taking pictures
Being introduced as Phantom-X guitarist Eric Knudson, as I got out of the limo
Chefs from The local Brazilian restaurant were preparing dinner for us
Wardrobe staff, make-up staff,.....I mean they were all people who shoot full length feature films
It was the size of the Bass Hall and was sold out for all four shows
I had my own dressing room with a star and my name on the door with the word "TALENT" underneath it
It was overwelming, but I ate up every damn minute of it
I have no idea when it will air or be out on DVD at Blockbuster yet
Both will happen
I think the working title will be Alex Reymundo "Hick-Spanics"
When I find out for sure I will post it on this site
February 12th 2006
That last post was pretty rigid huh?
It "IS" called The SOAPBOX
Guess I got up on it?
I just hate to see people I care about doing harm to themselves
January 24th 2006
Terry's mother has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer
She was given two months to live
After 40 years of smoking this is the result
Everyone should already know that you are not smoking the cigarette;
IT'S SMOKING YOU
The smoke your exhaling is Tabacco mixed with years off your life going right out of your body
It's really mind boggling how smokers can justify their habit with " Well I'm down to 4 a day"
OR some other silly bullshit thinking that a non smoker is going to buy it
We all die from the choices we make while we are alive
If that's how you wish to check out, go for it
But don't boo hoo to others about your bad choices
or try to bargain with God when the time comes
You made your choice
Not much compassion in this post huh??
Well it could be that I've survived Cancer 12 years now
I've been given a second chance with my life (no it wasn't smoking)
I HOPE I offended you
I HOPE I pissed you off
I HOPE that you think about what you just read for a few days
Maybe it will make you think about your habit
Maybe you don't want to exhale your life away
MAYBE you care enough for those who love you
not to put them thru the anguish of watching you die
from something you had control over
Saturday January 7th 2006
I hope the holidays went well for everyone
I was able to work quite diligently on a DVD
to give my Grandmother and family for Christmas
You see my Grandfather was killed in WWII on Christmas day in 1944
During our tour of Europe I made a visit to his grave
I was able to make a DVD of this visit that also included letters
he and my Grandmother had written to eachother during the war
It turned out to be a great gift that was well received by everyone
The New Years gig went well, was fun...and I think we all played it safe with a driver or a cab
There is several things in the works
One of which is to tune into 93.3 The Bone and listen for radio spots advertising our next show
Also we are the "Bone Band Of The Week" on 93.3
DJ Debbie Sexxton and taken a liking to the song "Enchanted"
OK I SUCK. I'LL Try to update shit quicker
It's been tough adjusting back !! DADGUM !!!!
Wednesday Dec 15th
It's been rather tough adapting back to my normal home life
Let's see where do I start back with the road stories
After Prague we went up to Munich and played a cool show
Then the "Fun" started
We entered into Hungary and made our way to Budapest
This was on Thanksgiving day back here in the States
Of course it's not in Budapest
They served us Chili as well as a chicken and rice dish
I was amazed because I actually started to perspire on my face from the chili being spicy
It was a very welcomed sweat since this was the first good spicy food we had been served
The gig went well, although there was some Soap Opera tension going on before the show
It had carried over from Munich
At times tensions were high
I mean hell it was cold, poeple were sick, we had been out of propane to heat our camper since Amsterdam
No one would trade the bottles out since they were from Italy
and many other things
Saturday Dec 3rd HOME
Well after we got off that ship there was never any access to the internet until I got back to London on the way home
So here's a recap of what went down
We drove into Berlin and went to see all the German Hitler stuff
We got some very odd reactions from people when we said HITLER
It's very apparent they don't dig that part of their countries history
In fact a old German cop spit on the ground and stamped it out with his foot, like putting out a cigarette
and said "Fuck Hitler" that was a bit nerve racking especially since we were standing in front of several Embassy buildings
We did find the bunker where he killed hisself as well as the other stuff like the Bradenburg gate
It was damn cold and icey out
We made our way into the Czech Republic to HELLS BELLS
Thats where Sacha Gervasi and his video crew were waiting on us
I stepped off the bus and from then until we left Greece
pretty much had a video camera in my face the whole time
They got some REALLY interesting footage
including Anvil's LIPS and G5 yelling and grabbing the club owner about getting paid
Seems the dude thought he wasn't going to pay them since we were late arriving
I had another few shots of Absynth there too !! haha
Tuesday 29th London England
Its been a freaking whirlwind that you wouldnt beleive if I told ya
Ok well maybe ya would
A screen writer and video team who normally works with Tom Hanks and Steven Speilberg
meet Anvil and Phantom X in Prague and has been shooting
footage of us up to last night when we played Greece
I havent had net access since Germany due to the
countries we played. I never found access !!
Anyhow I'm going to fly home tommorrow and then I will write up the rest of the SAGA and post it
You can bet it will be AFTER I go eat TEX MEX though !!! LOL
Wednesday 23 Munich Germany
Well one of the most enjoyable breaks during the tour was traveling from Sweden into
Germany across the Baltic Sea in a Luxury Cruise Ship !!
We drove our tour bus right into the belly of the ship then went up stairs
It was a 10 level ship with everything
Movie Theater, Eating joints, etc.
But when I found the Jacuzzi, Sauna and showers I was styling most major !!
I looked around while I was in the Jacuzzi and said "Yup I am on tour !!"
After we got off the ship we drove down into Berlin
We stopped to check out
The Brandenburg Gate, The Wall, and after several times of asking we finally found Hitlers Bunker where he shot hisself
Germans responded very odd when we said the word HITLER
It appears they are not happy with their history
One guy referred to it as "The place of Horror"
An old cop spit on the ground and step on his spit moving his foot as if to be
putting a cigarette out when he heard the word HITLER
It was very odd but cool, even the gift I brought home from there
Quite an Original
We got to our show last night in Prague Chec Republic late, due to
the highway being shut down
The building it was in was a very spooky underground tunnel system type place
Being they have only been communism free for 15 years it makes
me wonder what went on there
They had Absyinth there as well, so I drank more !!
Germany also has what they all MEAD which is illegal in the States as well
Its a honey wine, and yes I drank it during the Keep It True Festival
Gotta get ready for tonights gig here in Munich
Hope all is well back home with everyone
Sunday 20th Motala Sweden
Well we have now played twice in Sweden
They are very into heavy metal over here and both gigs were a blast
Its spooky driving up here on icey roads and yes its very cold
A local guy took us to check out some silver mines
not knowing that Glenn would jump the fence and go exploring down into the mine !! haha
He returned to the gig telling everyone we are crazy Americans
The Swedish men are the large Viking types just like me
Now we head South and drive our Buses onto a Ferry to cross the ocean back into Germany
then drive into the Chec Republic to play in Prague
We are all making due with our losses and are shooting as much video as we can
CD sales and shirts are going very well
and, Like Sterling said Get ready dude they are gonna treat you like rockstars
He was right....and its been neat !!
Oh yeah I forgot we stopped in Hamburg Germany on the way here
We went to a bar and watch an Irish guy playing acoustically in a bar called Thomas Reads
He was very good and so was the Absynth we drank
Its illegal in the States so we HAD to drink it !!
Big hugs to all back home and thanx for the e-mails about the theft
Ill get on again when I can
Im currently standing at the counter in a hotel using their pc !! haha
Tuesday 15th Amsterdam
As you know I am out on tour with Phantom-X in Europe
Our camper-bus was broken into while we were eating lunch
We had a lot stolen yesterday including the laptop that had ALL of the pictures I have taken of the whole tour
They got the laptop, a video cam, 2 digital camera's and all of my personals
like my wallet with all of my ID's including my passport and about $500
We've made a police report and realize getting the stuff back will not happen
keep us in your thoughts and prayers for the remainder of the tour if you will
I gotta get over to the Embassy today to get a new passport so that I can return home
Monday 14th Amsterdam
Amsterdam huh ? What happens on the road, STAYS on the road!! haha
Since Paris is burning we cancelled the gig
so we have some days off to hang out
We decided Amsterdam was the place to do it
The guys in ANVIL are quite at home here LOL
The next day or two we shall hunt for a laundry mat since they seem not to exist here
and we are going to try to go visit some old Castles around the area
Here is a photo from our show in Aalst Belgium
I've got tons of photos from the whole tour

like my wallet with all of my ID's including my passport and about $500
We've made a police report and realize getting the stuff back will not happen
keep us in your thoughts and prayers for the remainder of the tour if you will
I gotta get over to the Embassy today to get a new passport so that I can return home
Monday 14th Amsterdam
Amsterdam huh ? What happens on the road, STAYS on the road!! haha
Since Paris is burning we cancelled the gig
so we have some days off to hang out
We decided Amsterdam was the place to do it
The guys in ANVIL are quite at home here LOL
The next day or two we shall hunt for a laundry mat since they seem not to exist here
and we are going to try to go visit some old Castles around the area
Here is a photo from our show in Aalst Belgium
I've got tons of photos from the whole tour
Sunday 20th Motala Sweden
Well we have now played twice in Sweden
They are very into heavy metal over here and both gigs were a blast
Its spooky driving up here on icey roads and yes its very cold
A local guy took us to check out some silver mines
not knowing that Glenn would jump the fence and go exploring down into the mine !! haha
He returned to the gig telling everyone we are crazy Americans
The Swedish men are the large Viking types just like me
Now we head South and drive our Buses onto a Ferry to cross the ocean back into Germany
then drive into the Chec Republic to play in Prague
We are all making due with our losses and are shooting as much video as we can
CD sales and shirts are going very well
and, Like Sterling said Get ready dude they are gonna treat you like rockstars
He was right....and its been neat !!
Oh yeah I forgot we stopped in Hamburg Germany on the way here
We went to a bar and watch an Irish guy playing acoustically in a bar called Thomas Reads
He was very good and so was the Absynth we drank
Its illegal in the States so we HAD to drink it !!
Big hugs to all back home and thanx for the e-mails about the theft
Ill get on again when I can
Im currently standing at the counter in a hotel using their pc !! haha
