First blog on the new backup blogger!
Ok, so it has been several months since I last blogged, and even longer since anyone has been able to read one of my blogs. I have missed my old blogger severely. Sean has been talking with our friend Lee about getting our old website moved to the new server, but things have been slow to happen. In their defense, Sean flipped his car and needed to find a new one (not always an easy task) and Lee is one of the busiest people I know. But the band site will one day be back up, I assure you.
Speaking of band related things, we're playing a show on Wednesday, April 5th with Dearly Departed, Sleeper Set Sail, and Marigold. I'll post the info when I'm not feeling so lazy. Also, the drum & bass tracks for our new album, Blueprints, are complete. I'm hoping to start recording the guitar tracks sometime this week (Sean? Yes? No?). We'll see what happens. When I first said I wanted to write a concept record, I thought, "what the fuck am I getting myself into?!?" But now I'm really excited. Some of the lyrics are still being worked out, and subtle changes will most likely be made to song structures, but the overall concept is solid, and we keep coming up with new ways to tie the album together. Not only will the album have a plot, it will have a overall tone that will weave in and out of the songs like a thread. This will allow the album to loop from the last song back into the first song. I hope everyone likes it.
As for me, well, my life has been crazy for the past several months. If I were to share all the details, I would find myself typing for the next few hours. Since it is almost 4am, I will give the super-fast edited version. For the first time in almost eight years I am single again, I am living at home with my parents and occupying my old room. It doesn't feel like my room anymore, and probably never will again. Most of my possessions are in boxes. With no where to put them, they will remain there until I move out again one day. I have almost completely paid of my credit card, which was out of control. I bought a new computer (a 14" iBook). My first laptop. I'm still excited. I have seen several shows and have tickets to several more. That's always a plus. Though I'm only taking one class, it's exhausting. Well, no one ever said Neoclassical Literature was easy. I took the GRE's finally. That sucked. I need to get my last letter of recommendation for the Master's program. If I don't get in, I'm fucked. To sum it all up: I have no idea what is happening with my life. It's a strange time. Do I feel lost? You bet. I just have to keep telling myself that even the worst days get better.
Other things I'm looking forward to: Nicole & Keith's wedding in May. I'll be going to Tennessee for the first time. It will also be my first vacation in four years (not counting bronchitis). I miss Nicole. She's one of the greatest people I have ever been lucky enough to become friends with.
I can't wait for warm weather to come again. I want to go running. It's funny, I don't even enjoy running, but I feel so accomplished when I finish. And sometimes when I run I want to keep running. I want to run clear across the country. Though I know my knees would hate me for it and most likely buckle under the pressure.
I work a lot these days. It helps me pay off my debt and will help me afford my trip to TN, as well as the gift my brother and I are planning for my mom, but it doesn't allow me to have much of a life. I don't see my friends too often. That's something I need to fix before they all forget me. Though I did hang out with Lou on St. Patrick's Day. We drank at Katie Mc's from 10pm-5am, when the bar closed. I drank so much that I couldn't speak. Drinking such massive quantities is not something I do often, but I figured I should take advantage of not having to drive for once. The 3 1/2 hours of sleep that followed only contributed to the hangover I had to deal with at work the next day. Yeah, I was completely housed.
Ok, it's now after 4am and I should have gone to bed hours ago. I don't sleep enough. I despise sleeping actually. Well, to be honest, I love sleeping. It's going to sleep and waking up that I despise. But that's a topic for another blog.
For those who have made it to the bottom of this blog...
Goodnight!
