yeah, I'm kinda wretched now, thanks for your good thoughts!

I can't walk normally, I am always in pain etc, though I am now back home after 5 days in the hospital, so I think I'll be fine.
I'll just have to make sure I adjust my life to new challenges, lol, like not being able to bend over. Though this is a good thing, right?
lol


anyway,
how have all of you been, my loved ones?

[bright lights, big city]

good to hear buddy. does this mean you can't perform or anything, because of the appendix? since you can't bend? my old man had surgery around that region a couple weeks ago and still can't lift any weights, do sit-ups, or really much of anything.

[lostpilot]

yeah, exactly. today it took me 15 minutes to put on my shoes.
lol, seriously. VERY frustrating

i was just checking your facebook profile and i have to ask you a question. Is Kaleidoskopijus really part of your name?

[lostpilot]

no.
it's pretty much like 'Darius Kaleidoscope Gerulis'.
Just a random thing I did a couple of months ago and it just became that way.

I am Darius Gerulis. By the way, my surname, in lithuanian, means "a good man". literally, lol. Some people use "Gerulis" for, like, they see a really really good movie, and they then compliment the movie by "Gerulis". How awesome am I NAO?

Darius, My names Eric Stapars.  My dads family is originally from Riga, Latvia.  My pops moved to the states when he was very young, but he still speaks fluent Latvian and German.  Im sure you've been to Latvia b4.  I hear the country is really struggling......

Oh you're awesome allright. Kaleidoskopijus would be a Gerulis name though (can i say that?).

you could have just told me the surname, I'd say you're somehow from Latvia. It has a very latvian sound to it.
Yes, I have been to Latvia, Riga, I usually take my flights from there, or take my connecting flights there etc etc. In my head it's a better country than Lithuania, but those both are in a really bad shape now.

Yes, Lithuania is strugling a lot now. Our politicians are total dumbasses with no sense of direction of what they are doing. Random laws, random shit going on. The media is crazy about any kind of glowing scandals, people are generally very angry, disappointed with everything and very very ignorant in many ways (I'm talking about racism and homophobia here, and generally lithuanians lack the information about better things in the universe).

Yes, we do have the highest suicide rate in the world. No wonder. This place is dark.
I can't wait to escape, but I will always keep my "heritage" as a lithuanian person. i'm not even sure why anymore

cheers!

well, in some way yes. some versions in lithuanian:
"ble, Kaleidoskopijus tai žiauriai geruuuuuuuuuuulis "

translation
"fuck, Kaleidoskopijus is really awesome "

[Crazylegs]

I like how the smiley is the same in both lithuanian and english.

[lostpilot]

yes, there is a close resemblance in smiling in lithuanian and english, lol

if to speak truthfully, lithuanian is considered to be one of the most difficult languages over the world. It's insane with all the variations, words etc etc. And I have mastered this language quite good! I often notice I am a languages person

How are you recovering darius?? what are the plans for the next month? get better soon bro.

How are you recovering darius?? what are the plans for the next month? get better soon bro.

Well, I am slowly getting better, but VERY slowly. I think I won't be able to walk normally for a couple of weeks, including any other dynamic movement like bending etc etc etc. The plans, well, are very down to earth - I have to write a paper for the university, a lot of projects and works. Then we will play  a couple of shows with this swedish (?) band Locomotora in Kaunas and Vilnius with slowattack, and we will be recording our album sometime on May.

Then on May 10 I will release Constellations (I have to finish the illustrations, baaaaaah!) and will slowly begin 'Dreams IV'. But slowly, I don't want to rush things. We could think about a release date in summer, july/august probably.

Thanks for your concern, dear dudes and dudettes:)

[bright lights, big city]

well personally, i can't wait to hear Constellations!

[lostpilot]

but be ready.
I mean, it's different.. generally as an album it is less.. coherent? but I put my heart in it.
Today I finished the fucking epic finale.
That was unexpected. There are now two different endings to the album, haha.
The physical copy will contain the more epic one

[lostpilot]

thanks a ton!

Sick signature, man.

Where's that from ?

John Baizley.

Google it up - some GREAT artworks

[lostpilot]

you inbox is again full;



"the Reimagined Sleep Soundtrack"

new ambient:)

wow, really anxious to hear it! you never fail to deliver man. A few days ago I fall asleep while listening to Dreams III. It was one of the most beautiful naps I ever took. I must admit it kinda got scary, when you listen to a song while sleeping in your mp3 you can hear the real deepness and soul in the song. A few songs proved to be deeper than I previously thought.
