Never Shop When You Are Hungry
i miss the Dutch Dudes, And what bums me out moreso is I have no idea when I'll see those dudes again. Hopefully these two European tours come together next year
Home from tour till November 29th. I start working again here in a couple days which is really exciting...since I am bored as shit right now. Luckily I have been sick, which gives me something to think about.
I hate being that guy and over romanticize touring and make it sound like this bigger than life experience, because it really isn't. The monotony of the day would almost be painful if it wasn't for the little quirks and little interesting things that happen through the day that make it all worth while. But having said that, every day on tour you have a goal and something to work for every day...for instance every day for three months, as soon as I woke up, I would pack my things and get ready to head towards the next place, because the only thing we had to achieve every day was to get to where we are suppose to be, set up, and play. It's not much, but its something to look forward to and something that i really love looking forward to. What am I doing at home? Waking up and preparing to go sit in smokey bars? Counting days to till I get to wake up at 7am to clean up dog shit?
I am not trying to be that guy, because I love my friends and my family and my dog and my job, but, I cannot wait till February when I can start doing the one thing I have been working my whole life for again. I feel like i spent this year testing the waters trying to figure out if touring is something i really wanted to do, and I think its pretty obvious that the answer is a resounding yes.
A friend told me about something a mutual friend said about me, and it was something to the effect of I could be doing anything I wanted with my life, but all I want to do is play music. And I'm pretty happy with that.
since I am living on my parents dollar as far as food goes right now, I'm giving this vegan thing another run.

IZ broke down in ATL on Tuesday and can't be looked at until Monday,
so we are taking my van to Philly. It's not as bad as it would seem,
and we have been making enough tonget us gas to the next place.

I need to shave and forgot to bring socks for this last leg.
If tour has to be over, I am excited to come back to Atlanta, but I
don't want tour to be wrapping up soon.
