"Once the stone you're crawling under
Is lifted from your shoulders -
Once the cloud that's raining over your head
Disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years."
I don't know - felt appropriate. The concert last night was amazing. . . Dream Theater only played for an hour but they were so incredible and the show they put on was just mind boggling. And then YES came on - I want to get to know their stuff more, I think I would have been more excited. But I saw two of the most incredible keyboardists last night - Jordan Ruddess and the guy from YES. Oh man. . it was fucking nuts.
So kids. . . I don't know exactly what to say - this is it. . . I guess. I couldn't sleep - and I'm sick as it is. I'm finishing packing in about two and a half hours and then I'm heading out of here. It's weird. It's very weird.
I didn't get to see Steve or Andrew before I left - and I didn't get to see Dave before he left. . . sucks - but I know I'll be seeing them soon. . . well - hopefully.
What really upsets me is that I haven't seen Greeney since Cornerstone a couple weeks ago and I haven't seen Branning since saying goodbye to Joe - well. . . I'm taking that picture of us up with me kids. . . if that's any consolation. . . I'm sure it's not. I'm sorry. . . . . I love you kids and I'll see you soon
I want to put more of a goodbye in here but I just can't bring myself to do it. . . I've said so many goodbyes already and the idea of saying goodbye to the rest of you as a group forum just doesn't appeal to me. . . the idea of not saying goodbye to the rest of you doesn't appeal to me either. . . but then here it is. . .
Goodbye.
I'll be around.
October 15, see me at Cornerstone. . . I'll be playing 8 to 11 - - - and don't worry folks. . . I'll see the shows.
Good luck to all of you this year. To you seniors - live it up. Don't get caught up in the drama - that will KILL your senior year. . . don't get caught up in the academics - live through the first semester and then all you really need is to pass. . . just go out - have a good time. . . and FUCK curfew :-)
For you underclassmen - enjoy it while you can. . . . i didn't - and now it's gone.
That's all for New Jersey. . .
That's all for now. . .
