It's amazing the difference a year makes.
Last summer was incredible. This summer is terrible by comparison.
I mean come on, everything was going so well a year ago. Recording with Steve in vineland, barbeques at Ramon's house, playing shows every weekend, had an awesome lady, work started at 4 pm, so i could stay up all night doing whatever i wanted. Watched a different movie every night.
This summer is like the complete opposite. Failed band wasted alot of time (it was a good effort but it didnt pan out). That means no shows, no recording. Ive been working at least 32 hours a week, starting at 8 or 9 or 7 in the morning for almost every shift, which means no more late nights. The lady thing...eh. It even seems like we've already watched all the good movies. There's nothing left.
So what am i doing? I decided i needed change.
I put my two weeks in at my job today. I figure i'll take the rest of the summer off to regroup and find a better job. Ive been taking steps to go all out again with the band, restarting the band that i really loved, with an almost complete lineup already. The songs were so much fun, and I think i can really write alot better this time around. If all goes well we will be back playing shows in a few months, and its that kind of shit that i live for. Im working on patching up some relationships that have fallen apart or have been severely weakened, not just with chicks but all kinds of relationships. And most of all i need to push myself to register for these last two god damn classes i need at camden county, so i can just be done with it.
The one thing that remained good from last summer to this was the haven that is Chris's house, its the one constant that keeps everything together.
We'll see where everything goes, theres not much summer left but theres some things to look forward to.
