ON THE BEACH
It’s been a while since I posted a blog on here. I keep forgetting how much I like this form of social media. It is nice to just sit with my thoughts, get them down and hit send without knowing who is going to read it. I used to do this from a T-Mobile Sidekick in the back of the van every night. I wonder if I could find that blog if I looked hard enough? Hmmmmm.
I have been doing these littler offerings for you and each one is turning out to be so special to me. I sit at my desk, looking out the window at the lake behind my house, and I draw… its simple and child-like and it makes me feel great. I listen to tunes or a podcast or old, creepy radio shows like “lights Out!” Or certain episodes of “Coast to Coast” and I get in a zone that I really needed right now. It is helping the way that I feel everyday and thats not an easy thing to find. Thank you so much for this special gift.
On a day that should be spent driving to a venue, unloading our gear, setting up merch, waiting around for doors, searching for food, watching loud rock groups, playing a show, packing up gear, loading the trailer, having one last beer, one last story, one last toke, one last goodbye, then a drive through the night to do it all again. Now, I sit, I draw, and i think… I about the next time I can be back with you again. Back on stage… Making you dance, making you laugh, because I need it maybe more than anyone.
Today my lady, her aunt and grandfather and I went to the beach. He hasn’t been in 40 years. They drove down from about 2 hours away for lunch. We walked out on the pier. I cants stress to you how much I need the beach in my life. I need that salt air in my lungs. If you have a place like that that you love to go outdoors please visit it soon. Stay there for as long as you can and have a silent moment for yourself.
Thank you all, again, for your support in all of this… I love you all dearly.
A trip to the pier.
