Out of Disk Space, HAR HAR

Taking a break from the recording. We're on the last song (New Years Irresolution or something like that). It's BRUTAL. The vocals are turning out way better since yesterday where I got past my stupid allergy crap. My voice was giving out much quicker than it should have during the recordings, which didn't make any sense because I had just finished our 3rd tour from playing a 30 to 45 minute show almost every night.

Then I went all out on Silent Night (which is anything but silent). After that I felt like recording all of Jolly Old Sadist, which I did. Turned out to be way better than we expected! So we're on the last song. Yay.

Artwork, ugh. We're going back and forth between some stuff. Should be interesting to say the least.

Anyway, thanks to you guys for your support lately. I understand so much more about what it's like to "be like water," so to speak.

It's about being prepared for change. Something you set your heart on can, and will, change in some form or fashion. It's so unhealthy to allow yourself to become attached to something... or someone. That doesn't mean to give up hope, it just means that change is always coming. I realized that and what happened to me happened for the BETTER. This insight came from it, for starters. I desperately needed to go through this. Now I know, and from now on I will do my best to be braced for change; sometimes adapting to it, sometimes changing my path for what's best for me.

My old boss told me, "There are two things that are constant. Death and Change. Taxes you can get around."

My addition to that is, "What determines success, happiness, and freedom depends entirely on how you deal with change."

Change is coming. It doesn't care if you want it to or not. Are you ready for it?

Sorry about that.

Sorry about my ridiculously emo blogs lately. I think I broke a record for the worlds fastest and most intense depression! I was hit by 12 tons of bricks yesterday, and I got it all out. I think what helped the most was my awesome and amazing friends being the shoulder I needed. Thank you Chris and Jarsh. I also think that being a generally positive minded person helped tremendously. I was also forced to really, truly, and utterly let go of many things that weren't helping me. Sure it hurts now, but I can't help but learn my lessons and grow stronger as a person. I also learned how to draw the line. Strike three, ya know? Turns out that after all this stuff, I was forced to think a bit more about the future. We don't all wanna tour forever. We want to do other stuff too; just right now Psychostick needs tons of attention and push. It's still a growing boy that needs nourishment and dumb. I think in a few years, we're gonna want to take time for ourselves and do other projects, get married, have kids, blah blah blah. Of course, Psychostick will still be around, for those of you who think that we'll hang that up. We'll keep writing songs and tour every so often. Yeah buddy. I guess getting older makes ya think a bit more about the future. I'll be 27 this August. I still feel more like 21 or 22 in many ways. So yeah, enough about that crap. Thanks all who put up with my not-so-regular-Rawrbness. Gotta go work on album art, which has hardly received my much needed attention since my dramafest. You guys so aren't ready for this EP. :) %BLOG-IMAGES%
