स्तोर्म्स एंड stormdrains

It seems the closer I get to releasing some new stuff, the more busy and busy my personal life gets. Thats ok, but there is some storms a brewing. Right now, I just went through a move. I moved in with a couple buddies in this house in a really good neighborhood. We had not signed a lease contract yet, and the landlord had said we can move in and everything is good. We then would sign a lease agreement and be there a while. Well, not so much. The landlord then, after we all move in, spend A LOT of money on washer and dryers, rug cleaning, nic nacks and repairs. Goes against her word and backs out of it completly and decides to pull a power trip and tell us to leave by the 15th basically of July. Now there must be rights for us renters, right? So I go and look at California renters rights. It talks about verbal agreements and how they are binding to a point. well I figured since we both agreed on such terms then the landlord could not try and pull this type of thing. But, I wanted more. So I asked my mom to talk to her lawyer, as she was the last one to rent the place. Because technically then my mom would still be renting there as she just moved out since she did not provide written notice of leaving premises. Well after she talked with her lawyer, things changed. The lawyer basically said in this case we have no rights, and that as bad as this situation is we would have to leave. Apparently in Real Estate, if this were to go to court, verbal agreements are never usually recognized. On top of that, since my mom has already left the premises then she is technically gone and subletting to us, which is illegal per her last rental agreement. Ah yes, the storms, I am glad Jesus is in my boat, so I am not as stressed as one might think. It's just the core of it is this woman is being hideous and showing a lack of character beyond beleif. It is sorta sad to me. I also feel somewhat responsible to my buddies, and feel a bit of heartache that I allowed a crappy situation to come to fruition instead of having the cohones to get a contract signed now! Trusting this ladies word was a huge mistake, as she lied about a lot and then admitted, "ohhhh well now i remember, but I still want you out...". She was generous to give us an extra week. ehem.

Anyway this is a 'life lesson', and I cannot harbor any anger towards this woman. She obviously has something ill in her heart that more anger from another person will only fuel more. So right now me and my buddies are searching for another house in our area, and praying. I feel confident that we will be fine, we have IAM on our side. Just the whole thing compounded makes me a bit sad, betrayed and more. At least this is chisseling my charecter and my faith.

On the music front: Finished about 2 1/2 of the 4 songs for the James Bond Themed album/small EP. Started to sample a sega gamegear and games for another themed album. Also finished up an remix for Absorption, but no internet outside of work to post it up to him. So trudging slowly, like in a vat of drying glue, with a felt suit on =)
