It sucks that you can watch 162 games over a 6 month period and then all of a sudden, in 3 days its over.

And she said that I was the brightest little firefly in her jar... [04 Jul 2006|11:09pm]
[ music | copeland ]

Home for a week before full US tour with Set Your Goals, Warped Tour, and Gorilla Biscuits. Set Your Goals should be amazing because I totally love that band and the tour is going to California. Warped Tour should be awesome but I'm expecting to be sweaty when we check in early in the morning. I never thought I would ever share the stage with GB but this summer it is going to happen and it is going to in a foreign country...

This week is going to be crazy because two of my best friends are getting married. Woooo. I cant wait. At least for the week I am home, I will be busy so I dont drive myself crazy.

[ mood | wishing things were different ]

In Canada now on our way from Petersburough to Montreal. We slept in the van last night at Flying J because there was literally nothing anywhere. We are coming home tonight before the last week of east coast shows. The shows have been shitty but I am bummed as fuck to be coming home to nothing.

Right now I am so psyched to be in a band. I heard some mixes last night and I got so excited. I cant wait for this record to get out there and just see what happens. I think the songs are awesome, the production is amazing and I'm curious how people will take to it this summer. We have some BIG tour plans this summer. It will be announced when it becomes more definite and not so speculative. I dont know who reads this thing....sheeeeesh.

I have to wear this dumb thing on my wrist now because I think I have carpal tunnel or some shit. It looks really goofy so I "forget" to wear it alot. I think it just hurts alot because its been so cold outside so once it warms up it will be smooth sailing.

I cant wait for summer and warm weather. I am so over this winter bull shit although playing in the snow is pretty amazing.

Today I start getting guitar sounds and doing guitar tracks! I am psyched but nervous at the same time.

It was awesome yesterday to finally have a day off after over a week straight of 10 hour days in the studio. I got to spend the majority of the day with my beautiful babyyyyyyyyy.

[ music | third eye blind ]

The last couple weeks have been pretty hectic but everything has been awesome. I have been super busy helping Jackie move into her new place and trying to finish up the record. We start pre pro in 2 days and still need to try to finish up at least 2 songs. Ah I am so psyched to finally have a record that documents what I have done musically for the last 2 years.

Tour was awesome. I saw loads of fun people and had an amazing time hanging out with MLIW, WH, MPB, and TIH. Being home is good though minus working 10 hour days.

It feels so good to get warm in bed with someone you care about. I'm in love and couldnt be happier about it.
