First off, if you want to be an extra in the new “I’m Sorry LA” music video This Saturday, email: cgrabow@tsdmgmt.com It will be a party in a tattoo shop in San Pedro, so if you want to be in the video and just party with strangers and us lol, send an email! It’s this Saturday at 5PM till whenever. There’ll be food too!
Kind of ironic, yesterday was that long pointless day, I went to bed hoping it would end, and I never fell asleep! lol. Just a good ole sleepless night. Not the first if you’ve read more of these blogs. I’m all fuzzy, had some people drama ooze on me out of nowhere this morning so I’m trying to wipe that off. The side effects of pretending to be human I guess. People open up to you lol. My cousin Nic posted a video today that really cracked me up. Probably because it’s such a “white” thing that happens in the video. If you don’t know what I mean by “white” thing, go HERE and that site will explain white people. Most white people don’t even understand white people. It’s funny. Anyway, check out the video below. Poor guy.
I got word that the new site might be launching tonight! Very exciting, only because I know how many people are viewing the site daily, and the new site will be a little more interesting.. and informative.
Was invited to a red carpet tonight but I don’t think I’m going to go. It’s already…….. Wed? Is today Thursday? I have no idea what day it is today, but it’s getting close to the weekend, and I still have video stuff to get together still. Who knows though, I may get burnt out and need a break.
Oh yeah extras! If you want to be an extra, send an email to: cgrabow@tsdmgmt.com and he’ll get you the details.
Watch the video now!

This day was pointless. People that were supposed to call me about things didn’t, and people that are supposed to be doing things weren’t. No emails, calls, flares, texts, or mental telepathy. This put me into a bad mood. Not because today was the first day this happened, but because THIS IS how the music business is done. Slow people meet fast people. The band has a direction and vision and blah blah blah, but some dude in a nice black suit is just more concerned about his sports car getting waxed than our free music revolution lol. So I was all mad today and decided to take the dog for a walk. No idea what was going on, but she gets all excited to go for a walk and squeezes a freakin poop out on the rug! Like “boink” there’s a turd. THEN I’m heading down the street and the car wreaks! I look back and BAM, a row of turds like solder ants marching along right on the back seat! She knows better I swear! Get to the park, and as she’s running around turds are cascading from her butt like a water fall of nasty. I can only assume she somehow got backed up like a weeks worth! I was so pissed it was insane. I mean… the car one really made me mad, but the sidewalk one I just kind of gave up. She didn’t seem to mind. I know if I was out in public pooping everywhere I wouldn’t be too happy about it. She got one lap at the park I was done. So mixed with diarrhea dog and slow business people, today can be checked off my list of days when I die. As I’m dying I won’t look back on this day and be like “ooh wait, I want to flash back one more time on this particular day”. Delete.

Speaking of time travel, alternate realities and all that crap, CERN got that new particle collider up and running and I guess they had a successful atom smash or something lol. What I loooove about the whole thing is that it actually has the possibility of created a black hole! The scientists are assuring everyone that IF a black hole is created, it won’t do anything…… because the scientists have monitored tiny black holes billions of miles out in space? I don’t know. Either way, I hope a black hole gets formed a a bunch of things, land, people, get sucked into it! Maybe even a whole country! Humans sometimes mess with things so far out of their understanding and do to their own egos and pride refuse to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe they don’t entirely know what they’re talking about, because everything up to this point has been 100% theories. If I saw a black hole I think I would jump in it. Pop out in the future or something. That would be awesome!
Well you’re all still pegging the site which is cool! Keep spreading denial! With the video shoot coming up, the site launch, and all that other crap, I should have some new news for you. Hmmm exiting lol.
Chad Gerber THE ATOM SMASHER
Seriously, what in the world did we talk about tonight? We had a meeting with the director and camera film guy for hours and my brain feels like potato salad. They were talking about all kinds of gear that made no sense to me. 2012 and I agreed that their voices sounded like trumpets while they talked about gear and film stuff. Between all that we would all goof off and make weird sounds….. actually Tanya made most of the weird sounds. I’ve never heard a girl make such odd sound effects. A sign that we will have way to much fun on the shoot this Saturday.
Other than gear, meetings, and trying to get all the extras and details handled for this weekend, I heard the new launch of www.thesuicidedenial.com might happen Thursday night or something. The main page is more interactive and 24/7…ish. You’ll love it. Trust me.
I’m pretty sure Dixie is pissed at me for not having enough time to take her to the park or beach or something, so tomorrow I need to do that at some point. Then she’ll stop glaring at me.
Keep Spreading Denial! We need a push coming up with all this video stuff, these companies we’re working with, and the whole tour thing! Good work. Take a break. Eat a sandwich and get back to playing Wii.
Oh yeah, did another HIIT session tonight at the gym. Love it! Do it!
ok Bye

Yeah so I was going to do this whole blog on paranormal videos and weird things on YouTube and all that, but I again couldn’t come up with anything that looked legit. I mean I found some that have a lot of back story that makes the video more believable, but without giving you a 25 page back story on the videos, they would just look fake. I did find a new one that was interesting which I’ll post below. If you’re from North America you might be surprised to know that a lot of other countries around the world have paranormal footage that makes their news. No joke. Witches, UFOs, Aliens, etc. I’m not saying everything is REAL and all that, but the footage is pretty incredible. Just google Flying Humanoids. Creepy. In fact a friend of mine (I won’t name him) is from Guatemala, and has told me stories of things seen in his village, things that are common knowledge to them, that are impossible. However, since he’s my friend and I’ve done a lot of research on the stuff he told me about, I can’t help but believe him. He was afraid of telling me any of it because he figured I would just make fun of him. So take a second sometime and just research the weird crap that goes on outside the US. Doesn’t it seem like more and more people are “seeing things” anymore? Somethings up. Used to be nobody saw anything.
Tonight was a lot of fun. Went to the symphony with some friends and 2012. Of course half way through 2012 started showing me funny pictures and I kept saying dirty things in his ear trying to make him laugh lol. At one point my friend Justin got in trouble from some snobbish lady who didn’t like that he was texting on his phone, and the light was “distracting” her lol. We survived the symphony, the music was incredible and mesmerizing, then we headed to Diddy Reese in Westwood where I used to live. A bunch of us hung out, talked a little bit about the video shoot, and found out that one of our friends Jenna is leaving for a while which was kind of sad. She’ll be back though.
Tomorrow the chaos begins this week. We’ve got some meetings tomorrow, one with Tanya our director and the camera dude. Need to go over all the stuff for the weekend, then I think we have events thrown into the mix we might be needing to attend this week which should be interested… and then of course we have our friend’s going away party to squeeze in as well! Never mind the fact that the video itself is going to be insanity all week. Should be some fun sleepless days (I don’t do days usually).
Man I did this HIIT workout thing today and it murdered me. I usually have enough energy to power a country, but today brought it down to about… average I guess. Just took a crazy training program to do it. I loved it though. Make working out fun again!
I’m going to go watch Princes Bride. I love that movie.
PS This is the pic 2012 was showing me during the symphony lol
I’ve been researching a lot on time travel and real human mutations the past couple days. If you’ve ever thought this is all scifi, I recommend you start googling. There’s some really interesting stuff out there. Some I’ve seen in the news in the past, and others I had no idea about. One of the weird ones is a German baby that was born with a genetic mutation where his body is unnaturally strong and he came out… ripped lol. I remember the story a while back, and they won’t release the kids name cause of crazies, but in the pic it looks like a stalky dudes body lol. There’s some other sideshow type stuff out there too, but it’s totally worth looking into! As far as time travel, that will make your head hurt. Still fun to read up on though.
I’m not really looking forward to finding extras this week. I think we need to find a makeup person this week too. Someone that can give us black eyes and make us look beat up. The video shoots down in San Pedro on April 3rd, so I’m hoping don’t bail because of the distance. San Pedro is really cool. I love San Pedro. In fact if you don’t live here you’ve probably seen it in movies and dumb crime dramas a lot. Any time they’re unloading docks with huge barges and cranes and stuff, it’s probably Pedro.
I need to get some work done before the symphony today. Goodbye
Seriously I don’t know what’s going on but it sounds like WWIII outside right now! The ghetto birds (helicopters before you ask) are swooping all over. Oh……. now they’re gone. That was pretty exciting for a moment lol. Reminded me of the good ole days when I lived in the ghetto myself. Gangs getting busted on the steps outside, gun shots, neighbors beating each other…… just another reason I continue to erase my memory of the old life lol.
Today was pretty uneventful. Went through pics to give to our creative director for the new site going up and wherever else they may land. Went down to the beach, picked up Cory and we went to a bbq/dinner thing where I met a dog with brain damage. It walked in circles, but only clockwise.
Going to the LA Symphony tomorrow and I’m happy about that. I love classical music. I actually got my start playing classical guitar when I was 8. Who knew that all that finger picking would come in handy for simple rock songs lol. If you’re ever going to start playing guitar, start with classical. Then you can play anything pretty easy.
Monday starts and I’m already stressed about it. For dumb reasons, but still stressed. We have meetings for tour stuff, meetings for CD stuff, meetings for the music video, prepping for the music video (it starts shooting on the 3rd) and rounding up the right looking extras. I’m more stressed cause something should go wrong, but I want to head it off beforehand lol.
Take a look at the pic below, YES, NO?

I don’t know what it is but I wake up every morning expecting some kind of adventure to be staring me in the face. Then when it’s not, I get all bummed out lol. I find it really annoying and odd. I want to wake up and have like a Viking at the foot of my bed asking me to join his crew and invade a small country or something. Or maybe a well dressed assassin waiting for me to join him in training. Once I realize none of these adventures are waiting for me when I wake up, I either want to go back to bed, or try to convince myself that eating cheerios is an adventure too. Which it’s not really.
“Cyrus, boyfriend make red carpet debut” - current Yahoo “News” headline. Thought it was just that important for all of you to note! Wars and Miley Cyrus.
Know what I’ve always wanted to do? Take a paintball gun to a crowd of people. Everyone’s always telling everyone to follow your dreams, and do what makes you happy… well unloading a 100,000 paintballs into an unsuspecting crowd would make me happy lol. Of course all the paint would be red so that others would think it was real blood, then mass panic. As I type this I choose to ignore the possibilities of people actually getting hurt or trampled, and or hit in the eye. The mass panic part just sounds adventurous. Maybe the Viking and Assassin will join me… for cheerios.
What a day lovers. 2012 had his thing go up at Modern Drummer and lots of fans seemed to love that whole deal so that’s cool. Nothing like skipping right along as you’re all spreading denial, the TSD team is meeting with all kinds of people, and we’re hitting up events, getting ready for tour, and acting like idiots. Which we do very well. Also our new website is going up here soon too. It’s going to be more 24/7 interactive and all that. Should be a good ole time for the whole family. Bring Grandma too if you like. Just don’t try explaining to her that the band’s name is The Suicide Denial. From experience, they just don’t get it.
Had Olive Garden tonight. Kind of weird having Olive Garden here in Los Angeles but really good and fun none the less. Usually if you want Italian you just go to Little Italy to get it. Not a national chain based in Atlanta that ships it’s food in from Kansas lol. Seriously good though. I can’t get enough of those bread sticks! Just thought I would share.
So movie ticket prices are going up yet again. Great. What’s the deal? Recession hits, everyone needs a cheap get a way cause vacation is too much, so we flock to the theaters. The big companies get all excited about the huge profit then go “hey, we can milk more out of these idiots”, then jack the price up. Worst part about it is, we then go anyway! Mark my words alien weirdos, the big movies companies will be freaking out about a jump in piracy not long after. They won’t be able to wrap their money loaded minds around people wanting to “steal” movies off the web. Starve a man and he will steal. Even if it’s entertainment lol. Just blows me away. The second they get a profit from us when times are bad, time to tighten up the noose. I mean, it’s only a few bucks, but it’s like boiling a frog. You don’t jack the heat up all the way right away, you just turn it up slowly until they’re paying $20 for a stupid movie that will land on DVD in a month!
Pirate our album, it will lead to the end of all this madness. I promise.
