Spinning and spinning..
I don't know why but I haven't been able to get to sleep tonight. I spent the entire time tossing and turning, Hey, who knew drugs were bad for you? Eventually I just gave up and came back to update a little. The only problem was, once I got here I realized that I had nothing to update about. I surfed around a bit on our message boards and found a fan had left a rather long line of questions and answered them below.
Eleven more days until my break is over. It'll be nice getting back to some routine, as much as I hate to admit it. Having all the free time in the world to do what you want leaves you with a lot of free time to do nothing, and that can get boring every now and then. After that we'll be recording our next album which is always fun, god did I mention I was tired?
