Some say we’re bums, that we’re vagabonds. Some say we’re “living the dream”, that we’ve got everything we‘ll ever need at our fingertips.  I choose to agree with the latter, but even so, it’s all just a matter of perception.  If it’s true, that perception can manipulate the way everythingappears, to either make it more or less appealing to an individual, then why not view the phrase, “living the dream” and actually apply it, cause if you really look at it, despite the hardships of life and just trying to breathe at times, everyone is living this dream

.                        This is Real Life.

good bye chicago. i had fun hangin and that Fearless radio interview rocked, but now its time to get movin. we have other places to go and people to see.

You could probably unravel the dollars and use them to buy a chai tea latte :p

Just finished making this, lol.  oh thrice…you have my heart.  You too Bob.  :)

What a beautiful day.  Such perfect weather to sit inside and blog about how nice it is out there, lol.  I am still not too sure why I’m inside, perhaps it’s the lack of gasoline in my Jeep’s Sahara reminiscent tank, or a subconscious intuition that’s beckoning for my safety thus rendering my conscious ill motivated enough to even want to leave my dining room.  Whatever the case, after this cup of coffee and a few quick photo edits, i just might end up getting around to facing that mountain of clean laundry I have been so reluctant to put away.  Although I tend to procrastinate, I feel it gives me a sense of calming, considering as much as I’d like to think I have complete control of how much I get accomplished in a day, I don’t. I mean…unless it’s uber important, lol.  

   Learning how to reinvent the subtleties in life is an essential skill to acquire.  Patience plays a big part in this, being that said patience will help you gain perspective over time and slow your roll, you don’t want things to pass you by, but by all means DON’T JUMP THE GUN.  If there’s one thing that is sure to keep you blinded by ignorance is rushing into things without inhibition.  Some would call this Faith, others, Suicide.  Whatever the word, one thing is for certain…Chill the fuck out.  Life’s here, now.  Be in it.  Don’t worry, Don’t rush, but don’t hesitate to act when you know you’ve got to.  

    The amount of sunlight entering the window across the table from me is slowly dwindling from being blocked by a cloud and an adjacent tree.  Just another reminder to me that time hasn’t stopped, sigh, not even for this blog.  

C’est la vie

I love my friends.

I’m sure you love yours, as well. Hold onto them dearly, you only get so many in a lifetime and sometimes the stupidest, most

insignificant and retarded things will bring down what took a long time to achieve. I’m at a local pub called Odin’s Den with two of my best friends, Blake and Greg…sharing a yuengling, about to devour a pile of wings, this moment is surreal. It comes and goes so fast you need to be aware when they’re about. Like…this one’s here and I’m on tumblr…Wtf?! I gotta go, lol.

Don’t worry, don’t hurry and don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers.

“You can’t second guess. 

               Once you’ve jumped,

  unless                             you have wings, 

    there’s no turnin’ back.”

…I’ve come to talk to you again.

Today, well, yesterday was day 2 at the studio with Brooks.

I enjoy working

with that guy, since we’ve already gone through the whole process once before with the  previous album;

(Another Knight Alone)

our own sense of workflow has been established, making these musical excretions that much easier to squirt out.

The single that’s in the making is going to rock your socks off!

(BTW, if you own these…you fucking rule.) I have been riding steady on this energy kick I’ve had since an hour after returning home from the studio around midnight (why didn’t I just say 1? lol)… 

WE WE’RE THERE 13 HOURS TODAY!

Why am I not tired?! It’s probably because I’m sitting here on

Tumblr instead of lying in my bed attempting this much anticipated flight to dreamland, but I hate turbulence, layovers and tray tables & I’m a sucker for this Coffee-Couch-Computer Combo I’ve got going on here.  

     I’m not sure how productive I’ve been in these late hours though, let’s take a look:

• Theological Conversation with Beans 
• French Toast Sticks + Tots with Beans
• Watched (two) episodes of    Life.

  • Oprah’s voice

  , though, is

  •  

  very soothing and was 

about to knock me out

.                            Now I’m on Tumblr…

                                         …Once again.

                         WHAT NEXT!?

• Bed

sounds great.
Farewell,

…is lying here on the floor in the studio while Matt tracks his drums. The rhythmic pattern of the click track puts me to sleep. Being that I didn’t sleep at all last night, this is where I find rest…between recording sessions. As soon as he finishes up I believe Tim is gonna have his debut tracking experience with us, I’m sure he’s pretty excited, then onto guitars and vocals. Resting is pretty essential in said vocal tracking. I’m going to go back to sleep, catch y’all on the flip side!
