Im sitting here in the studio by myself, its 8:36 am, I am wide awake. Our new record is playing in the background and its strange to me to listen to what I’ve made and not cringe and turn it off right away. At this point I understand what it means to be satisfied. Its not about anybody else liking your record, its about you liking your record. As long as you’re happy with it, and it turned out to be exactly what you wanted it to be, then it doesn’t matter if anyone else likes it, because there is nothing like having to defend a piece of your work you hate. I’ve had to do that for 7 albums, and now that this one is done I can’t wait to share it and can’t believe it took this long. Anyway, its early and Im a bit philosophical.

I’ve been driving Greg to work at 5 am for the past 5 days and it feels a bit like I have insomnia, Atlanta traffic is horrid, and he works 45 minutes away without traffic, hense why I am up so early.

I came home about half hour ago from driving him, and our dogs had gotten into the trashcan,ate everything that was edible and left little presents for me to clean up.

So recap: woke up at 4:30am, drove Greg to work, sat in traffic, got home, trash everywhere, cleaned the apartment, got dressed for work, came to the studio, and now making cds. phew.

We finally get the van today, it needed to have the roaders changed and its taking Midas 3 days, but its alright. Im looking forward to being able to stand in the van while moving. Its way more luxurious than anything I thought we would buy. Its still gonna be DIY inside, with wooden lofts, Im painting the walls and drawing on them, but its nice to have space when you’ll be on the road for at least the next 7 months.

Lastly, and very importantly, I want to thank Jeff Carano from Babicz guitars. I received the guitar yesterday after missing the FedEx guy the day before, and my baby came back sparkling clean, with brand new strings on, polished and sounding like heaven. Also in the box, Jeff stuffed a good number of tank tops, t-shirts and sweaters ( which I am SO excited about) and I am wearing one of their tanks right now.Thank you Jeff, you have, no joke, secured my future on the road for the next 7 months.
