So, I got a trial date for my DUI, May 21st. I'm a little nervous. I just hope it doesn't get in the way of summer tour plans with Space Station 5 (www.myspace.com/spacestation5) as we hit up the dirty south in July. So if you know any cool places we should play, let me know.

I still have not had a drink since the day I got arrested, because I realized in jail that I was drinking because I was trying to escape the shitty sad feeling of being at a job I hate, being single when I don't want to be, and having all these different friends trying to pull me in different directions. But now without alcohol, I stopped perpetuating the depression circle, dropped 10 pounds, and realized that some of the people I took for granted were the shit.

Also, my Bass player got me a sweet First Act Electric guitar from Toys R' Us. Awesome gift for no reason, and the guitar plays and sounds GREAT!!! Thanks, Mike.

Theme song of the moment time, kids:

"I Took a Beating"

I took a beating in 2003
At least I improved
My threshold for pain

See my eyes swelled up and poured out blood
He spent six months just cleaning it up
The doctor said he'd stitch up the cut for me
My next beating's in two weeks

I've been taking a beating, in 2004
yeah only two months have passed by
I'm already on the floor

I took a baseball bat straight to the knees
I buckled over in the cold Brooklyn street
The same doctor helped me back to my feet
He said to me "I'll see you in two weeks"

And if I take a beating (beating) in 2005 (beating)
It'll be a miracle (beating)
If I'm still alive (beating)

-I am the Avalanche
