i'll be back home in just a few days. i couldnt be more excited.

i havent worked a ten hour shift in a long time. it was strangly gratifying. the people watching at the mall of georgia is amazing....some of the strangest types go through that place.
as i was trying to take my mind off of eating (fasting was/is a bitch), i read on the road. it was really great to get back to it, but it left me kind of uneasy. i need a road trip. i want to stop thinking about business, money, etc.....its starting to eat me up. cycles dont sit well with me. everything im doing is starting to feel like one giant instant replay. i want to go and hang out in new york. i want to fly to rio....something. i think what i need is to win the lottery and then blow all of it
i think i would buy a rollercoaster
as i was driving an oversized purple van home i had a nice thought. living here has been one of the most humbling experiences i think i could have. i have to swallow down every last bit of pride everytime i ask someone to sleep on their couch. i dont hate doing it, sometimes its really fun....it makes me feel like a nomad.......every once in a while it makes me feel like im sal paradise. most times however, i feel terrible about it. im definitely someone who wants to be respected, and its hard to feel that when your well-being constantly depends on others. who needs respect though? it really doesnt go that far......anyways, i feel like the whole experience has toughened me up some....its taught me some good lessons. i dont know how long i can keep doing it, but its all well worth it when you are where God wants you to be. to put it plainly, sometimes it sucks to do what God wants you to do.....but there is a light at the end of this somewhere. its coming soon....

She wore faded jeans and soft black leather
She had eyes so blue they looked like weather
When she needed me I wasn't around
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out
There were times apart, there were times together
I was pledged to her for worse or better
When it mattered most I let her down
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out
It'll all work out eventually
Better off with him than here with me
It'll all work out eventually
Maybe better off with him than here with me
Now the wind is high and the rain is heavy
And the water's rising in the levee
Still I think of her when the sun goes down
It never goes away, but it all works out

back to staying up until i pass out...im fine...im fine...
i think i miss all my michigan friends more than i let on. it hits me the hardest when im out with a big group. i cant small talk worth shit. thats why i need friends like the ones from back home. holy shit i miss you clint, bone, luke, nate, truck, scooch, randy, and everyone!!!! i really do love all of you and i cant wait to spend december in michigan......snow! i actually miss snow, what the hell?
i swear to god if i ever make enough money, im going to employ my friends from back home to come hang out with me. i mean, if i got payed fifty thousand a year i'd hang out with me. im not too sure how we'd work out benefits though...chances are good i'll have a rollercoaster in my backyard too.
i saw mase at fellini's the other night. he parks like an ass
our cd's came today in the mail. that feeling never gets old. i felt like a proud father. fuckin terrible metaphor, i know. its the best i can do on only a couple hours of sleep.
lots of really cool opportunities are coming our way, if even one of them works out it'll feel like christmas a few months early......

so in almost three months i will be moving to atlanta. well, not actually atlanta, but in that area. im extremely anxious to move and to get to work. i figured the closer the date got the more doubts i'd have, but oddly its been the opposite. at first i committed and i got really sad at the idea that i wouldnt be able to come home whenever i pleased. however, since ive committed ive realized how much i really need to move on and get away. i need to get away and so that if i fail im not able to fall back on loved ones so much and hopefully that will make success that much more exciting. i wont be able to rely on my family to bail me out. crazy huh? point is, i think me moving will make me work harder and appreciate my life more. im moving to play music full time, and i really feel like something big is going to happen. maybe its spiritually? artistically? financially? who knows. i do know that im in a situation that i would normally either not do, or be seriously reconsidering. for some reason i have such a calm feeling about it all. i know this is what im meant to do. its pretty nice to finally feel that again. plus its only like an eight hour drive to see the red sox during spring training.
its the weirdest feeling to have to stay up until you're about to pass out every night. its the only way i can fall asleep now. it'll be great to stop working two jobs. especially with strange hours. im fine....im fine...
one of the few bad things about moving is the 10 hour drive alone it will take to get there. im really bad at staying awake at the wheel for whatever reason. i cant concentrate on driving. it'll be better when i come back in may and april comes with me, but that first drive is going to be killer.
i rented a bunch of movies last week and thought i'd quickly share some recommendations/thoughts...
so go watch:
-school of rock : makes me want to watch spinal tap for whatever reason.
-tales from the crypt: season one
-fire in the sky : april told me it was good, i didnt believe her....needless to say she keeps reminding me that she was right
we also watched rize, which is a documentary done by david la chapelle on the krump/clowning dance scene. the actual dancing was amazing. they actually noted in the beginning that they didnt speed the film up just so you know its real. trust me, it looks sped up, the dancing is that insane. i thought they kinda missed some social and political dots they could have connected to really make the documentary really great. kinda like what hoop dreams does. seriously though, the dancing is crazy. plus, they are dressed up as clowns when they do it, and thats sweet.
oh my gosh, i want to blow my head off everytime i hear that avenged sevenfold song.
how do bands like them and hawthorne heights get exposure/signed/noticed/anything.
there are lots of bands i dont like but i can say that they are good at what they do, but neither of those bands are anywhere close to that. if those bands came around in the 90's there is no way they would have been popular. which brings me to my biggest point: the early 90's were sweet.
the singer from relient k is a really good songwriter i think, and i dont care who knows it. see....thats one of those bands i dont really like but i can admit they are great at what they do. im really only a hypocrite about half of the time. maybe less.

its official, bono is most charismatic lead singer ever. no doubt about it if you ask me.
it was a really great night, and it was pretty much everything i wanted and expected a u2 concert to be.
gavin rossdale's new band opened and they played "machine head" which i thought was really funny/cool, but it was really unexpected because i thought damian marley was opening. his new band kinda sucks though, not that i really had high hopes.
thank you alex, seeing u2 isnt something i'll forget anytime soon.

i recently got hired at the local grocery store to do night stocking, and so far the job is pretty nice. i like the hours, though im always tired, and its kinda peaceful working late at night with nobody to bother you. so im working two jobs now, and im hoping that i can save money faster. there are a lot of things i need to get before the move to atlanta.
i bought the new sigur ros a couple of days ago and i listened to it on my headphones tonight at work, i must say that its very very good. i think records like those really need to be listened to on headphones so that you can pick up on all the little idiosyncrasies. i like this one even better than their last, which for me is huge cause i really enjoy the last one.
basically all i do is hang out with april, work, play piano, and play mvp baseball a lot. i love it though, especially playing as the red sox on mvp baseball.
that call the other night in the 9th of the white sox/angels game was bullshit and i hope the white sox lose.

the sox and braves lost today.
at least the angels won.

so today i did it, i finally met eddie vedder.
well, if you can meet someone without actually saying anything....
sean and i left from lansing around one thirty and drove to london ontario to see pearl jam, and we got there pretty early and didnt have much to do. we walked around the market some and got a bite to eat. after we ate, we walked back to the venue and when we walked around back we noticed some fans, about fifty or so gathered. while we were walking by they all the sudden got really loud and started talking really fast. thats when i see eddie vedder walk out of the back door by the buses. obviously im thinking "holy shit that cant actually be him". so he came out to talk to the fans before the show and stayed for about a half hour, he was extremely nice to everyone and signed a bunch of stuff. true to what i always knew i'd do, i couldnt say anything, i basically just kept thinking the same thing over and over....."i cant believe eddie vedder is like two feet in front of me.....i must have had a stupid grin on my face the whole time. anyone that knows me knows how badly ive wanted the opportunity to meet him, and for me this was enough. i didnt really need to say anything. so needless to say the day was unbelievable.
they played for about three hours and covered every album well, it was the best ive ever seen them. i need to get into another touring band right now.
its really hard to even describe how great my day was

i just got done watching sin city and im glad to say it was very cool.
went to two red sox/tigers games the last two days and they were both great. although detroit sports fans are quite possibly the worst fans. i got really burnt today, i think its even worse than cornerstone. i swear i'll never tan as long as i live, and i'll probably end up getting skin cancer.
my mom has a crush on johnny damon, april has a crush on jason varitek.......if i hadnt just watched jessica alba in sin city i'd feel pretty left out.
