I've been writing

I can't help but feel a little lonely. Lately, things don't matter quite like they used to. There are a few things, though, that do.

I went on a five mile night bike ride with my friend last week. We rode from Plainfield to Avon. It was grueling, but it was completely worth it. Yesterday (Saturday) friend Dylan and I went woods-walking for six hours. we pretty much covered half of Avon, it was amazing. We climbed this tree and smoked a cigarette on one of it's huge branches. Our friend joined us on the latter half of the walk. it was a really good time.

Spring Break is next week, I'm pretty excited. I'm hoping to be working by then. All my guitars are broken. I don't know what to do with myself.

It's been over a month since I last abused painkillers. I'm feeling so much better about this time. I'm also cutting back on smoking.

National Record Store day is April 17th. I cannot wait to play. If you live around Broadripple, IN get your ass over there early. It's gonna be a great day. My birthday is two days prior and I can't wait for that either.

well...
Nevermind my useless ramblings, I'll get to feeling better, just a little spring fever.

Ah!! Like Music in My Ears

I graduate in a few short months and I'm bored with it already. I passed on a full university and decided Ivy Tech would be better for me. I'm moving to Bloomington in the fall and I'm really really excited about that.

My friend Eli and I are planning a self-sustained tour this summer. We've mapped out 17 cities in the states that surround Indiana. I can't wait for this, to get outta here for a few weeks, come back buckle down, get some work done and keep playing shows. That's what i really wanna do, is play music and travel and look out and see people coming to listen to my music and liking it. That'd be the most amazing thing in the world.

I was smoking with my friend a couple nights ago. We'd gone out for a roadie, he'd just bought a sack of Purple Trainwreck, and at 12:45 it was a perfect night for a drive. The snow on the ground was bright white and soft, the sky a soft purplish, and the lack of wind made the 29 degrees, feel like 40. We passed the joint back and forth, talking and laughing, comparing our favorite guitars and on and on.

I kicked back in my seat and he turned the radio up louder. Dave pummeled me into my seat. "Don't drink the water, there's blood in the water!!" My skin prickled. I was pretty high, boarder line stoned at this point. He put on Bitches Brew and i went insane inside my mind, i lost myself in the trumpet. I started thinking about playing music, friendships, growing up and all the worrysome things seventeen year olds think about. The New Year begins in 6 days. I have a feeling it'll be a good year. Merry Christmas.
