Ahh booking a tour. 101 THings are getting closer and my excitement level is building.
Now that the band has a record deal and national distribution and a new album coming in Feb.
So after 10 fucking years of playing in SHIT bands, and learning the hard way, how to fuckin do anything in music, I'm going to be hitting the road with MY OWN...

My lame ass band members. I want to kill them sometimes. I post our bio up on our myspace. Line by line I craft one that's all killer and no filler. So what does my idiot guitarist do? He logs on, and erases lines, rearranges things to make no sense.
He erases facts and in exchange puts stupid pronouns and emotional statements that personally don't...

awww that sucks. Tell him that someone with brains is required to do the myspace thing.
Dude I'm booking a tour. I wanna kill myself and at the same time pat myself on the back. It's like this weird alternate universe where the tour becomes your pet. You must love it, and pet it, and feed it. Lots of phone calls, emails, more phone calls, hunting and pecking. I'm no booking agent, but I play one in the movies apparently. I...

I'm taking the new year as a sign to change some of my ways. First, I'm a creature of habit. These bad habits are easy to sink into. Things like TV, internet games, and social networking websites are literally sucking out my blood.

Life is too short for moderating everything! 
A hard choice indeed but when it comes to your life, only you can make the best decisions for yourself. The people you leave behind should understand if you tell them the reasoning behind your decision... I was just involved in a conversation very similar to this earlier....

With the year ending my mood of damnation has elevated to it's highest level. Yes folks, I am truly in a position in life where I do not know what to do. They say you can't have things both ways at times, and my current life is full of pairs of opposites tugging me one way or another. I'm not sure what my priorities are....

I also wish I knew. Sounds like we need some time to contemplate. A road trip together

You are not alone in feeling this way, I have felt that tug as well. Sometimes keeping your feet planted for a short while will give you the opportunity to quiet your mind and sort out your thoughts. Perhaps writing about your situation? I could see you turning this into something very interesting.
As for your question... only you can answer that. You are in a transitional period and it is completely normal to be confused about what steps to take next.

It's now been 20 years since the Berlin Wall came down. I was fortunate to visit this location of the earth a few weeks ago...(this was written on my phone during the tour, so pardon the typographical and grammatical errors)
Berlin Germany. Lost for hours. standing on history.
We do a three hour burn to the capital city. I nap the whole way there. We...

livin' the life of a true rockstar eh? lol.
it sounds like quite the experience, though I can only imagine what you must have felt while standing at the SS Headquarters. It's amazing when you go to places that are so steeped in history that you can literally feel the weight of what went on there and it makes you feel awkward and perhaps uncomfortable for a myriad of reasons...

Well children I am back from yet another excursion on the road with musicians. We did a gig in Boston, Mass, which are always phenomenal. then drove straight through 28 hours to Mobile Alabama. There we had a little cabin in some guys backyard all to ourselves. Kinda odd it was decked out in anime video collections, midevil weaponry, and randomness. Apparently the place belonged...

Short tour cuz why not
Life is bullshit right now. At a time when I'm getting many positive things done with my art and music, what little family I have and friendships are crashing into oblivion. If the two were related, it would make more sense. I suppose I would be lying to myself is I said I wasn't responsible for what's happening around me. I also understand that nobody...

Believe me, I have been there. There is some small comfort in knowing that what you have been through before will prepare you for the times to come. I hate calling myself a victim or a survivor in any instance and prefer the term of 'warrior' - it fits me better I think...

I'm happy you're able to find strength from within. I am in a similar situation, accept its not with friends...its with my career. My family has been long gone from me for a while, except for my mother.
At any rate, is Coby your son or just a relative? If he's your son, congrats, I have one of those as well. His photo is in my attachments folder.

I haven't been blogging as much these days due to every time I get on the computer I end up hammering away at my novel. Hopefully a first draft will be here before the deadline I set which is Christmas. Writing a book is just a series of deadlines and milestones. It's easy to procrastinate and get writer's block. That's what separates the men from...

Amsterdam (tour diary exerpt)
With the exception of the midmorning cleanup crews everything moves a little bit slower in Amsterdam compared to previous european cities we had ventured into. The city would be kidding itself if it didn't realize the impact that legalized marijuana has on the economy. Not to judge, but the city is covered with bloodshot eyed tourists. Thousands of tourists from all...

Amsterdam in the summer sucks
I went there in December, sure you couldn't walk around in shorts and a t-shirt, but there were NO crowds anywhere. And even the really popular coffee shops (like Barney's) had sitting room inside, which was nice. The only line we encountered the whole time (and this was a weekend!) was at the Anne Frank House.
I totally fell in love with the city, but I imagine being there in the summer would make me want to rip my head off.
One tip to other potential travelers to Amsterdam: get lunch in the University of Amsterdam cafeteria. It's fast and cheap

Dear CT MUSICIANS that call me a SELLOUT...(explicit)
Dont call me a fuckin sellout when you haven't even left your hometown. This isn't for money. This is my life. Life means more to me than money. No amount of money will make me happy. Gambling taught me that.
All of my life I have felt like the outsider. It is as...
