More Questions and Some Thoughts.
Got another question in that I kinda liked.
"I know there is alot to give up being in a band.Steady home life,having to constantly be recording and touring. Do you enjoy what you do?" - Misty
There is a TON to give up doing what I do. The steady home life was something that was probably the hardest to see go. I mean, think about how easy it is to get caught up in routine job stuff and the safety of a deskjob? However I started to learn quickly that being a normal person guy wasn't the life for me when I discovered that I am rather eccentric and far from normal in many ways. Many of the sacrifices that were made took an emotional toll on me. For instance, I was in a relationship that failed because of the instability of my lifestyle. Then there was a second one that had potential that ended up falling apart for the same reason. I also traded in my awesome F-150 for our touring van, so... yeah. Lots. Various life lessons and several self-intropective moments took place as each big event, positive or negative, occoured.
And yes, I do enjoy it. It can be very stressful at times but we're all working together and want the same thing, so having my best friends in the same band makes things flow very smoothly.
Urggh, I'm beat. Still on the road and not a ton of energy to put into blogging. I get home in roughly a week and a half so... I'll be around more then. Exciting.

Alright, this question was in the queue for a while now. Touring will do that to you.
"If you never started Psychostick what do you think you'd be doing right now?" - Jen
Well Jen, sometimes it's fun to speculate, so I shall. I'd probably be doing web development still, bouncing from company to company and possibly entering contractual work. Sound like fun? Naawh. I love webdev, but I don't really enjoy it when I'm building for someone else other than... me. I'd also be playing lots of video games and probably be way overweight. Har har! Well, not too overweight. Just a little.
There's also a small possibility that I'd be married, but that one is quite a stretch in the speculatory department of the alternate Rawrb reality. I'll spare you the details behind that because 1) it's highly personal and 2) it's a long story.
The past few weeks have been so chocked full of stuff that I've entered an information overload. The music industry, as unholy as it can be, can also reap a ton of rewards. It's a survival of the fittest industry. Without going into detail, many people seem to thing that all you do is play shows and wait for opportunities to fall in your lap. Not the case.
Meh, I'm not sure where to begin with what I have to say here. I'll probably do a major recap after this tour is over in July. Don't wait up!
