busy weekend... went camping with the fam. the kids cried a bit too much. you know, i desire to have my own kids down the road... but shit, if they're gonna be all pussified like my sister's, i might second guess my plans. seriously, my 10 year old nephew cried for an hour after his 6 year old sister broke his stick that he had found. a fucking stick!!! when i was 10 i was in the 5th grade and interested in girls and sports and music and movies... i don't think i was too far ahead of the curve either. what's the deal with kids today? you can cry when your leg gets broken... not a piece of frickin wood.
other than the crying situation, the woods were completely relaxing... as they always are. however, i couldn't get my mind off emily. yes, i know... who cares. i just spent a lot of time trying to pinpoint what it is about her that keeps me on the edge of my seat... the results are still inconclusive.
i played my typical songs around the campfire... made my mom cry with one that i wrote. so i guess that's a compliment. even if it was just my mom....
halloween party saturday. if that's what you wanna call it anyway. there's something missing from the parties this year. maybe it's just me and i'm too old. well i guess that's why i'm graduating in december and getting out of here. i'm moving to indy at the end of december... i'll be living with my dad's house by castleton for 6 months to save up money to start my life...
speaking of, i finished recording jackson pain yesterday. we spent another 15 hours in the studio getting all the initial tracks finalized. all together we've spent about 40 hours recording 5 songs. i was excited about the entire process before. but the session yesterday gave an entire new meaning to excitement. i consider this experience one of the greatest blessings in my life. i thought to myself last night how much fun i had throughout the day and how it didn't even seem like work. then i thought of how great it will be to actually call that just another day at the office.... while getting paid for it. now to the hundred hours of editing and mastering!!
jake's (one of my nephews; not the crying over a stick one) bonfire is this saturday. emily is coming with me. my family will all be there. let's just say i'm kind of looking forward to it....
