Its been 1 year since I have posted in this journal. haha.
Lets see. I have graduated college with a degree in music education. but I'm not a teacher. Well, I teach but I am not teaching in a school on a day to day basis.
I worked at Sam Ash for 2 years, and I no longer work there. I was jobless all through the summer, and it was amazing. I played many many shows this summer with 2 regularly gigging bands. Definitely awesome.
http://www.facebook.com/thedownrights and the band called Can't Slow Down.
I am now playing in the Matt Koziol Band, which is a lot of fun. Great dudes, great tunes. Great times. I love being a working musician...its 1 step closer to a dream I cant wait to happen.
Diana and I broke up in April. So, I was living a serious single life for a little while....but now, I am seeing an amazing girl, and I am SO SO SO very happy.
Its odd, I dont feel like I have anything really meaningful to say.
So I can say this.
For the past 5 months, I have been a shell. You may have seen me, you may have hung out, we may have laughed, loved, shared, cried...anything...and to be honest....I just wasn't there. Please don't take it personally, but I just wasn't mentally there. I went through the motions, I did the right things, I said the right things. But I was blank. In a way, I really felt like Dexter Morgan. No emotions, no cares, nothing. I just wanted to float under the radar...and I could never do that. I was always in some sort of position where people were seeing me...So I just kept pretending. So, for that I'm sorry. I really am. I'm not proud of most things I did. I did some really shitty things...I have no excuse. All I can say is that I'm sorry, and I really mean it...
but I really feel like I'm back. This wonderful girl I'm seeing, has really brought be back. She just knows me. She absolutely gets me. And I'm so happy with her. I'm just so happy. Things started really lining up, musically, with my weight, I got a job at Dillon Music...which is effin amazing, and she came a long, and just completed it. So I can honestly say that I am genuinely happy.
And really...Thats all I have to say. I guess I'll see y'all in a year.
