The Apocalypse Suite
Hey guys, long time no blog. Sorry about that — life kinda intervened and things went completely loco. However, my music and my dreams for a future band are still on my mind every day as I try to find some inspiration for what I’m doing.
The good thing is, I found something!
I’ve been getting back into collecting comic books lately, seeing as I now write at least three comics...

Spring Break Report (and a lot of emo bullshit)
Ahh, the end of spring break. It’s very bittersweet (much like the cookies I just made; mmm). Not nearly long enough, but way too long in other senses. Ach.
It’s been kind of a bummer week, honestly. So many of my good friends were so freakin’ depressed it wasn’t even funny — it was like walking around during a funeral. Vacations aren’t supposed to be shit!...
Kingdom Come
Kingdom Come — by Jesse J. Cullen
With the world at large/And the kids all around/Is somebody out there/Is somebody watching
Roger that Houston/An angel’s around/But he’s all alone/Will somebody help him/Just lift up a finger
It’s warm tonight all’s out tonight/Will somebody help us/The light’s out tonight God’s out tonight/Is somebody coming?

Bad Moon Rising
It’s a good night tonight.
Good, that is, if you’re in the mood for your blood to warm up, to get your heart beating a little too easy in your chest. Half fear, half excitement with just a dash of adventure mixed in. I don’t know what it is about nights like tonight, but they just call out to the innermost depths of everyone.
It started when I came home from work, the whole...

Chance et moi avons un appartement! C’est très bon, mais c’est un peu cher. :(
…okay, I’m bored with speaking French in this right now. Maybe when I’m better at it…and have more practice. Who knows. Anyhoo, we did find a great place which we’ll be moving into some time in August, hopefully with Michael in tow (if we can convince him). That’d make...

If I could get away with naming the band The Umbrella Academy, I would.
Damn you Gerard Way. I love you so.

Stuff From My Notebook (all scraps)
I know I just updated this thing, but I found some loose-leaf papers with some writing I’ve been doing and wanted to transcribe them before they got lost to the aether (which they invariably do). I think I might be on to something with that last rough draft too.

So Long, and Thanks for the Enthusiasm
Erin came to me today and politely told me that he would like to withdraw from the band on terms of musical and creative differences. This came as a little bit of a blow, but to be honest, I really wasn’t surprised. I’d been afraid of this for a long time, but I’d sort of hoped that he would overlook that and stick around. After all, he and I had been the only members of the...

Oh my god. I know for a fact that Chance and Michael will go for these. I hear “Beards Going Nowhere” in my head now.
Introductions and Other Introductory Inductions
Hey guys,
Jesse here, hanging out with Chance in old Columbia relaxing, writing, talking video games, and bracing ourselves for the no-doubt rough school week ahead. We figured that anyone even remotely interested in the band or band project would want to know what’s up, so I thought I’d write you all a letter and see what was what.
Right now, the band is…well, I don’t...
