A photo of my friend Mike Carden as a young little bastard.
This photo captures the essence of the man, the myth, the maniac.
I first met Mike at our the very first band practice of “The Academy” on March 4th, 2003.
I had been a fan of his former band “Jodie” so I was very nervous about meeting such an established rocker.
I came down in the basement and found him wearing a blue Chicago Bears beanie that was just barely resting on his 18 year old head.
I was a very inexperienced musician and when I had to have Mike tune my bass for me because I didn’t know how.
I thought for sure that I would not be asked back for the next practice.
However, I was I felt great relief when Mike Carden began speaking and had frequent pubescent voice cracks. I felt that since I was 15 and didn’t have voice cracks that I had some sort of leverage over him.
This gentle beast was destined to be my brother.
It is amazing to think of where our lives have taken us.I am forever grateful for these friends I have.I really don’t know what, where or who I would be without them.
I really wish I could have known Mike Carden at the time this photo was taken, I know we would have caused much mischief together.We probably would have ding dong ditched your house somewhere along the way.
More embarrassing photos of all the band members coming…

Una foto de mi amigo Mike Carden como un pequeño bastardo.
Esta foto captura la ecencia del hombre, el mito, el maniaco.
La primera vez que conoci a Mike fue en nuestra primer practica de banda de “The Academy” en 4 de Marzo del 2003.
He sido fan de su banda inicial “Jodie” asi que estaba muy nervioso de conocer a tan establecido rockero.
Baje a la base y lo encontre vistiendo un Chicago Bears azul muy energetico que apenas descanzaba en su cabeza de 18 años.
Era un musico bastante inexperto y Mike tuvo que sintonizar my bajo por mi porque que no sabia como hacerlo.
Habia pensado por seguro que no me llamarian de nuevo para la proxima practica.
Como sea, senti un gran alivio cuando Mike Carden empezo a hablar y tenia frecuentes grietas de voz pubescentes. Pensé que desde que tenía 15 y no tenia grietas de voz que tenian algun tipo de influencia sobre el.
Esta bestia gentil estaba destinada para ser mi hermano.
Es increible pensar lo que nuestras vidas nos tomaron.Estoy tan agradecido por estos amigos que tengo.No se como, donde o quien seria sin ellos.
Deseo haber conocido a Mike Carden al tiempo que esta foto fue tomada. Se que hubieramos causado muchas travesuras juntos.Podriamos haber atrincherado a tu casa con Ding Dongs alguna vez a lo largo del viaje.
Ya vienen mas fotos embarazosas de los miembros de la banda…
