2009-05-20T00:09:00.004-10:00

i know not many people actually look at this blog (i don't blame them). i'm terrible went it comes to updating this thing. so, i'm gonna do just that! i'll start by working backwards 'cause there has been alot and i mean alot that has happened in my life since i last posted (almost exactly a year ago..geez). from being a worship leader, surf-instructor, getting married, growing out da hair, chopping the hair, writing new music..to just everyday life. i'll attempt to kick-start this blog (no promises) ha.

love,love

disneyland with jess

2008-05-14T13:13:00.000-10:00

so..i went to disneyland with jess and her family last weekend. it was muy bueno! i had a great time, but obviously i didn't have the discipline to take pics. we went to the california theme park and disneyland in 2 days...very, very tiring by the way. i used to be a 6 flags fan, but now i have to say disneyland is the best. i say this in terms of overall experience..you know that emo tug at your heart when you're watching fireworks, mickey waving at you, cotton candy...no?..by myself here? uhhmm, anyway i love drinking beer and pumping iron.....

six flags & birthday cake

2008-03-31T22:28:00.000-10:00

Easter BBQ in Costa Mesa

2008-03-23T21:15:00.012-10:00

so, the day before easter i was fortunate to hang with my maui homie Kyle Spencer and his friends and family! it was so nice to see them..i felt like i was in maui for just a little while! from portuguese horse-shoes, ping pong, watermelon baskets to just having a jam session with the green brothers...the day was most memorable.

pxsx- thank you jesus for rising again.

2008-03-11T18:06:00.000-10:00

some pics of my room that's fully furnished by IKEA! people in hawaii would have a blast there! they actually have a cafe and sell food in a furniture place?!? who would of thought? believe me, i could have been in that place all day. anyway, jess makes the best salads, food, deserts...basically everything! we just made a red velvet cake..me likey!

Sunday @ Tommy's

2008-03-09T20:48:00.000-10:00

i went to a church with tyler and his bandmate phil called "REALITY" where most of the congregation was young hipsters. it was kinda wierd at first, but i decided to try and focus on more important things. for the most part i enjoyed the worship and message, the pastor was this young dude with tats which i thought was pretty cool. he was really down to earth, but at the same time passionate about what he was preaching. after church was over there was always the infamous decision on where to eat. of course this process can take hours amidst the small talk and chit chat. we finally agreed upon the famous "ORIGINAL TOMMY'S CHILI HAMBURGER" joint. i wasn't feeling the added grease of chili to my already greazy hamburger, so i declined on chili.

pxsx- i heard that britney spears went to REALITY the following week..true story.

"Cali or bust"

2008-03-07T19:49:00.004-10:00

so i'm here now in the sunshine state. i've been here since march 3 and so far it's been bittersweet. on the good side, i get to go to a lot of cool places that aren't in hawaii like target, chevy's, ikea, chipotle, in n' out burger, the list goes on. being here means that things are a lot more exclusive and for now that's been rad. on the other hand, i miss everyone in hawaii and just hawaii in general. i'm sure i get over it eventually, but to you all who are reading this (you know who you are)...i miss you.

my flight was interesting to say the least. i had a micronesian kid with strong legs behind my seat and a older lady who was a bit comfortable with leaning her chair back in front of me. none the less, i get to L.A. and Tyler C. Burns picks me up in his sahweet family van..haha. the next day i get to the penners house in sunland. Kev and Jess are in a band called chandelle and Kev has a studio called green bean recording that i'm gonna apprentice under. i'm excited and can't wait to get things goin'!

oh yeah, i got all my stuff for my room from IKEA!!! I love that place!

love you guys,

laine

hey! my name is laine and this is a blog for my music/band which i title "sender"...or senderia in spanish..jk.

so, as of today i am just getting ready to move to L.A.! i leave on march 3 so i only have weeks til i'm outta here. i'm scared, excited, nervous, anxious..but i know that this is something i need to do. i'll be staying with my good friends the penners around the burbank area and i hope to learn about sound engineering and help market kev's studio. i'm also expecting to record a full length album and a west coast/hawaii/japan tour in support of it. i know, "big plans" huh? well, if you're reading this...welcome to the beginning of that journey! i hope to document and showcase it all on this blog.

oh btw, don't buy cameras on ebay! i just got scammed by this dude "cromewaves" be sure to say hi!!! i'll post pics and vids when i get my freakin' camera! for now, much love and some pics of me and my dog "chchchchia" enjoy :)
