The Elated Sob Story

All in all, I'm just a lil brat.

About Me


WELCOME to, The Elated Sob Story. The Happy-Sad Story.
This is about the sadness that awakens your heart in the middle of the night. It’s about those delectable moments with lovers you hope will never fade. It’s about the time your teacher gave you a failing grade. It brings out those memories that are heightened by your sense of smell. It touches every nerve you’ve tried to kill with a bottle of booze or pills. It's as honest as a 2-year-old, yet as corrupt as a politician. It’s about sitting on a dock with a great friend as you talk your soul into the pond. It’s the refreshing taste of an ice-cold cola on a hot summer’s day. It's the dying of the leaves in the fall. It’s the flowers that bloom their brightest colors in the spring. It’s those cold winter nights that chill you to the bone.
The Elated Sob Story is about as lo-fi as one could get. It was started in Star's tiny bedroom back in 2005. The music is done on a cheap recorder in a bedroom, away from those who might hear the softness of her voice that she hasn’t quite learned how to use yet. She's always looking for people with similar musical interest to work with in helping her be able to do shows in the Southern CA areas. In time, there are many hopes of a full band to be formed under the T.E.S.S. name.
Words from Star:
I love the sounds of male and female vocals harmonizing, clarinets, xylophones, pianos, drums, standup basses, cellos, ukuleles, sleigh bells, violins, organs, tambourines, various guitar pedals, korg’s, hallow body electrics, drum & bass, trumpets, handclaps, electronica, and so much more.
Don't be shy, go ahead and add me. I'm not like most people on myspace. I actually like to converse with my friends and enjoy the comments. So if ya leave a one, I'll actually RESPOND to it. :O)
I really like to illustrate my life through my blogs, so please subscribe to them to stay in better touch.

Results from last nights shots & brew ha-ha.

Last night's visit to the pub for shots and a pint really helped to better assist with my joke writing and was a success! An unsuspecting gentleman set himself up to be a guinea pig for a new joke. It...

no heart, no life.

The heart comes equipped with an abundant amount of emotions. So many more than the brain can comprehend. At least with your brain you can teach it tricks like a dog and in time it can learn how to be...
