This tour has been hella crazy. A show a night in a new town every night...we barely make time to practice let alone sleep or eat or think...but the ends justify the means or something. Anyway today I took a little time on the flight to do some thinking.
This whole idea and concept of self has really mulling around in my brain. Last night it was really brought to a head with a conversation I had with a young woman about the consequences of being yourself to people. I thought it sounded insane and crazy at first but the more I tinkered around with the idea the more I seemed to take away from it and apply it to my own life. So I am putting a disclaimer up right here and now...this is not a lecture...this is a personal revelation.
We create our self early in life we start to really mold and shape it...only the mold and shape seems to be mini replicas of our parents and once we figure that out we rebel because we want to be unique. Then with this new emerging self we sometimes like it and keep it and then other times we grow out of it and have to move on to a new self. If this later case happens...how much harder is it to create this new overhaul?
I talked to a few friends who had been through rehab only because I imagined it would be a similar situation of self overhauling. To cast aside the familiar for the new to try and make a stand and saying to your friends and the world...I know you knew me one way and seemed to love me....but this is the real me...love me now.
I admire the strength it takes to make those kinda changes in one's life. I try to live my life in the boldness of who I am, but then again who I am hasn't really changed too much over the years. My personality fits me and my life style well. I'm not a big philosopher and I tend to over think things (as you can see from the above update), but I do believe that there is a life and a path that is right for everyone and on that path they find their happiness, and meaning and purpose, and they find other who are like them and who love them...it's not always easy, but I believe it's always there.

Getting ready for a tour is always nerve wrecking to me because of the damn wait. Once you decide on your dates and have paracticed until you feel like you can't pratice anymore all you have left is to wait and it's torture. I guess it's really a good kinda torture though because it's been forever since we have a chance to tour and I am really excited about seeing the fans and all again. This tour is gonna be epic...I can just feel it. Having been with the band since her creation in 1996 I have been truely blessed to work with a great group of guys and we have all become a second little family.
However speaking of family, I think I am going to leave the bright sunny beaches of LA and head out to New York to visit my adorable little Sis, Ami, before heading out on tour. Yeah she finally moved out of La and heade to the big city of New York...it's time I check out her pad. You know a big brother has to make sure it's all safe and secure...or something.
Anyway I gotta run and look into some plan tickets.
So to sum up, waiting for tour sucks, band is awesome, and my lil sis is a goob.
