Days have passed... They fade so quickly into a blurry but selective memory.
All the time seems to disappear into meaningless repetitive tasks intertwined with brilliant highlights of laughter, music, and emotion.
Its Monday, that means we are in Connecticut...a lush and beautiful drive of brilliantly colored trees from New Hampshire, while we all daydream of the California sun. No... Its Tuesday, 6AM and we are broken down on the side of the road somewhere in Pennsylvania. I walked by Scots bed and he moaned, do I have to go check my drums, David? I just didnt have the heart to tell him it was morning and we were still dead on the road, and it is pouring rain in LA. My sister called me tonight, and told me she is going to have a baby. I am so happy for her and Mike, it is the best news I have heard in a very long time. She was so giddy with excitement, it makes me smile just thinking about it.
Ummm... Yeah, that was last week.
Since then the adventure has taken us through Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, and North Carolina. JAXX stands out as the most amazing show of the tour, just pure fire and rock and roll hedonism. Yes. I have pictures, and a day off to process them... I should have time to do it as well, because no one can take website time away from me... We made a new Brides website today, it took a few hours to get it together, but there have been so many bumouts on the old site, it just needed to happen. The band sat for a few hours and cranked out pictures, text, music, code... It is up, although it needs a lot of work, we managed to get something up... http://www.19sixsix.com, or http://www.bridesofdestruction.com it was another completely unexpected task to pile up on all the rest, but everyone seems very happy to be making it... so... I guess we can try to focus on creating a website that willingly shares with anyone that seeks it out.
7:00AM now... Still driving to Charlotte, we left Jacksonville at 3:00AM. I had to hold the bus brakes down while the driver went to pump the gas... I guess there is something wrong with the brakes, disturbing. We got in a huge fight about money, again.
almost Midnight now
worked on the website all day... and had a shower.
thats it.
put some cool clips up...

Mood: contemplative
Music: Love Will Tear Us Apart
I had to call London today to give him his homework... and I realized with a sudden pang that I miss his crazy ass.
There have been times lately I am convinced this is the time to do everything and get nothing in order to pay for all the time I had everything and did nothing... I dont know if that makes much sense, but that really is how things seem to be playing out. We have been on the road since the very end of September... Six weeks of day and night debauchery... not really... more like six weeks of shoddy green rooms, endless networking, and relentless hype... I am staring at the pile of demo CD's and receipts lumped on the floor wondering how I will find the focus to divide all that crap up, categorize it, type it all in. success often means the compromising what was your moral center, trading morality and decency for a paycheck that you always intend on using to do something "good" with, but it never works out that way. Instead, you end up with a whole bunch of stuff that you don't really want and certainly don't need and wonder what happened to all the money that seemed so important long ago. I think I learned on this tour with The Brides, watched and learned. We all had a lot of lessons to teach each other, and I watched our human drama play out with the roller coaster emotions that had even me laughing and tearing up... I guess there will be more later, but there is bathing to be done... scrape off the weeks of stuff and prepare for Europe... and try to process some of those lessons of love with the music ringing in my ears...
