well, I had my first real trip to the hospital(as a patient) yesterday...I went in at 7am cuz I'd been up all night w/ my throat so swollen I couldn't even swallow my own saliva...so I went to the E.R.,at Banner Thunderbird, then they had to transport me to Arrowhead because they couldn't figure out what's wrong w/ me...Arrowhead found out that I have an infected Tonsil. I can't eat any food really( I can slide down some pudding and applesauce, but that's about it) and haven't eaten in a few days now...I can take SMALL sips of water, but it still hurts...damn...this is shitty...They gave my Vicodin, which helps me sleep, so thats good, and some antibiotics, which havent really kicked in yet...so I'm sittin at home alone, might as well send me a "get well" greeting... ;)

a lot of shit has happened recently in my life, and it's kinda thrown me through a loop. i've been faced with a lot of shit that's really rackin' my brain...I dunno, I don't really wanna go into specifics, but it's weird, I'm very happy, I see a very bright future, but at the same time have this really dark feeling. I dunno, but everyone should go out and listen to Michael Buble...for real...check it out here... http://www.myspace.com/booblay. Listen to the song "home". it's all i've been into lately...and if any of you grim motherfuckers wanna call me a pussy for listening to something without blast beats, then fuck off...

You know, I've always felt that dreams have many different meanings...Sometimes theyre our subconcious minds' way of dealing w/ our every day problems, sometimes theyre pre-cognitivie...In my case, I had a rather strange dream that I'd like to talk about...Now, I rarely remember my dreams, and this one isn't much of an exception. I only remember bits and pieces, but it was pretty horrific. I had a dream that I was directly in the path of a hurricane. It was amazine how real it felt. I remember being able to see it off in the distance, just spanning the horizon, and I remember not being able to leave where I was, and having to find shelter throughout the whole ordeal...It doesnt seem like it was that scary, but it was horrific. Now, I know this particular dream is only my subconscious trying to piece together my mind. I work at a cable company that services all of the areas in Mississippi, many of which were obliterated by hurricane Katrina, so dealing with that every day I guess finally worked its way into my inner mind... Anyways, nothing too fantastic going on, I just wanted to kinda talk to myself for a little while...

 

btw...everyone in this world should own Miasma by the black dahlia murder...

-Don't try to be the "manager", do not get involved with band business, that is for the band.

-Don't ask his bandmates for relationship advice.

-Do Not complain when your (insert holiday here) date gets cancelled because a show has been scheduled. Holidays are no longer yours. Even Valentines Day!

***-It's NOT mandatory that you are at every show.***

-Do not get jelous when your boyfriend/girlfriend talks to groupies. They are the one's buying the CDs and merch, not you, so let them have their time. And remember...you get to go home with him/her!

-Babies don't make men quit bands....especially if you were a groupie.

-No, the band does not want you to go on tour with them. Like your going to sleep in the back of a van and eat ramen for 4 months straight!?

-Don't make the following introduction: Hi! I'm _____. My boyfriend/girlfriend is in ______.

-Don't follow him/her around at shows like a lost puppy, he/she is taking care of business, find your own crowd.

-Don't go to band practice. And it's normal to have practice more than once a week.

-Do not assume everyone loves your boyfriend's/girlfriends band.

-Don't make out with other band members girlfriends at the bar. Save that for the after party.

-Don't turn yourself into a walking flyer for your boyfriend's/girlfriends band. The shirt is fine, but must you break out the hat, the hoodie, AND the stickers on your ass?

-Do not stand in front of your boyfriend/girlfriend while he is onstage and stare at him like he is the greatest singer in thew world.

-No rumpshaka dances during the show, that is unless your man is in 2 Live Crew.

-Do not change your style based on the type of band you date. Going from preppy to Nu to hardcore shows you are not your own individual.

-If he/she calls while out on the road, don't complain about when he/she is coming home. You're lucky he is using the quarter to call you, instead of buying gas or food.

-Never say anything negative about your man's/girls band that you cannot say to him. It will only come back to bite you in the ass.

-If you're a stripper, keep work on the pole, not at shows. Not everyone wants to know Victoria's Secret.

-Never cause a fight right before your man/woman goes on stage. Relationship problems can be dealt with after the show.

-If they have a show out of town, don't drive just so you and your boy/girl can have "alone time". Because you want to "talk".

-Don't buy your man/woman a new intrument so he and his band mates can match. It's metal core, not fashion core.

-You cannot drink on the band's tab! Buy your own!

-Keep the band seperate from your everyday life. That's your boyfriend's/girlfriend's passion, find your own.

(probably the greatest myspace bulletin I've ever seen, WAY TO GO ADDIE!!!!!)

Well, I cant say that I'm HAPPY to be home, but it's KINDA nice to get back into the rhythm of things.Hell, who am I kidding, I cant wait to get back out. I had the time of my life the past two weeks, thanks to our new homeboys in The Mandrake. We had some GOOD times, some great shows, and because of the successful tour, Rob and myself are now being endorsed by MADISON amplifiers. These are some kick ass amps, words cant describe how I feel about being a part of their family. Anyways. Basically, The Mandrake fucking rule, Kirk, YOU fucking rule, The Gothic theater in Denver RULES, and anyone that in any way supported us or the Mandrake on this tour RULES. By far the best time of my life, and i'm so excited i just might post another blog about it being i'm pressed for time, but in short, thanks to everyone that came out, you made it the best time of my life.
