A nice little Saturday
It's a beautiful day on this side of the orange curtain. One of those afternoons where it takes your eyes minutes to adjust between the inside and outside light. It feels good to be home, though I do miss the road. I've been hearing amazing reports from the Warped Tour. If you get a chance you've got to go visit Casper at the Jacks booth (help him fight the home sickness). I've been doing so much better these days. I hate to jinx it but you have all been so incredible I thought it important to let you know that my doctors believe I'm in remission. The pneumonia is almost gone and I've had a good amount of energy. I did lose a lot of weight in the hospital, so I've been given carte blanch to eat everything I want for the next few weeks to try and gain as much weight as possible (I'm a lucky man).
There is so much going on it's really hard even get my head together long enough to remember it all, but this month is going to be exciting. We'll be finishing the video for the mixed tape soon, which will be my first animated video. I can’t wait ‘till it’s finished and out for everyone to see. Still though, I reserve most of my excitement for the 23rd of August, to finally have the album out. On another note, I have to say thanks to the crowd over at 91x in San Diego for playing the mixed tape yesterday and for taking the time to say some kind words over the air. Rumor has it that KROQ in LA has played a couple songs off the record throughout these past couple weeks, so thanks to everyone over there for the support. Sorry about the difficulty posting the past couple of days but it looks like everything is sorted out now, so go crazy and we’ll be in touch.
