Lately, things have been crazy, but not in the least of bad ways. I can honestly say that for once i am for the most part happy with things in my life. I now have many options that I can choose from to pursue whatever it is i may want to do with my life.
I'll be perfectly frank with you here, a lot of my recent entries involved me wishing to move San Diego. Yes, it is a dream of mine to someday live out there but from the looks of things at the moment, i may have to hold off those plans a little longer.
The band was struggling for much of the second half of summer. we had lost our practice space, lost touch with each other, and only showed up and played shows when we needed to. but last week, something out of the blue and amazing happened for us and we're still not sure why it even happened. We gained 2 sponsors, one of which is supporting an entire east coast tour next summer that they invited us on (They are booking the dates, providing us actual tour buses, etc.).
Our sponsors are Freek Energy Drink and Autopsy Magazine. Autopsy are the people supporting the tour and Freek is giving us a bunch of free stuff to sport out at shows and will be promoting us and our tour as well. Also, as if that weren't enough, my booking company is going great. it's a lot of hard work but it's beginning to pay off and i couldn't be more happy with it then i am now.
But the problem now lies that i really was pushing for the San Diego thing by late winter/early spring but i think i was meant to see how far the band can go. it's always been a dream of mine to tour at least once in my life and we got hooked up with a really good one. i can't turn it down. San Diego will always be there for me to go to someday and i really do hope that one day i can live out there but Michigan is the place to be at for now, as much as i truly hate it here. i have to be here, cause i'm beginning to believe that big things are meant to happen for me now and i am not ignoring it.
