I Heard From Someone You're Still Pretty...

Well, so far this summer has been pretty terrible. I've been working all the time.

The show on June 26th went smoothly, but the one on the 7th was the worst attended show ever and that makes me very sad because it was awesome. Oh well. Can't change it now. All the shows I have lined up right now are really close to each other. I hope people will show up. :/

I'm leaving for Chicago Tuesday. The next day I'm going to see imadethismistake, redbear., Delay, reddelicious, and a few others. It should be fun. I may go to Mauled By Tigers too. I dunno.

I feel really, really fat and it's terrible. I really need to exercise...I'm just so lazy.

I miss my friends. Even the ones that haven't moved away...I never see any of them anymore.

My car messed up the other day. It's still drivable, but the problem is getting worse and worse. Something with the axle and brakes. It's gonna be expensive to fix, which pretty much shoots my plan of buying a drumset any time soon in the face. Argh. Oh well. I guess it's a good thing I didn't buy it already though, because then I'd be broke and couldn't get my car fixed.

So I think Miles has talked Jon into doing the split release I proposed to them. This makes me very happy. I dunno when it'll be out, but I'm pretty positive I'm gonna spring for nice, professionally pressed CDs with full color inserts. Hopefully I can afford it whenever the time rolls around.

"The Blairsville Sessions" will be out whenever I do the artwork. Who knows when that will be. Certainly not me.

I wish I liked my songs well enough to start playing solo on a regular basis. But I don't. Oh well.

I know I say this every time, but I really need to figure out what I wanna do with my life before too long. I don't even have any ideas on where I wanna go to college.

I wish my Paul Baribeau and Matty Pop Chart CDs would get here already. I got the new foreverdown EP and it's nothing spectacular.

Dave said he's actually gonna bring my recording stuff back next week. I really hope so...I wanna get my demo all recorded and ready to go before school starts. It's gonna be more like an album than a demo as far as length goes, though.

A girl from Seattle named Bella moved near me. We listen to similar music, and she seems to be a little bit like Bethany. We've been planning to hang out for like a week, but things keep coming up and we can't. She's leaving for 2 weeks in Florida tomorrow, but I think we're gonna try to grab lunch or something before she leaves. I hope it works out. She seems like a nice girl who just needs some friends. She graduated highschool at 16 (she's 17 now), so she won't be going to school to make any friends and that's kind of a bummer not having any friends. I should know.

Anyway, I think that's about it. Hope anyone who's reading this is having a good summer. If you want anything from Chicago, let me know by Tuesday afternoon!
