Well, I finally have a computer of my own, as an early christmas present, my mother and Jim rebuilt an old computer and bought me a brand new monitor and speakers for it. That was very nice of them. So now I'll be online all the time and updating this Journal alot more often.

January 15th I go on my first real tour with my band until march 9th I beleive. I know that I am very comfortable with every day life in Stoughton, seeing Julia every day, seeing all the familiar sights that i'm used to seeing on a daily basis. But I also know that I want to be in a band and play all over the world, and hopefully someday have my music be heard by the masses and be free of financial problems because of it. 

I wish I could just let go of things.

This is going to be very hard to cope with.

I've been waking up around 5 PM and staying up until 6 or 7 AM, still not working, I put alot of burden on her and I really should get a job...
I wake her up every morning with a warm cup of Peppermint Hot Cocoa hoping it will make her day a little bit more cheery.

I have band practice tomorow and then hopefully I will get a good workout at the gym (which by the way is very difficult to afford with zero income)

I NEED to go to Al's house more often, I just sit at my apartment all the time and do nothing, I feel bad, I should go there this weekend, besides, Mrs. Aveni relayed a message to Julia that there is alot of money's worth of cans she wants me to take away, I sure hope they're still there, cus I need to pay off that gym membership, and who knows maybe there will be a few bucks left over so I can get the manicure I desperately need...

Well it's 5 AM, I can almost PROMISE you there will be another entry tomorow night, and the next, and so on. I also need to find out the correct spelling for the word tomorow.

It's finally happening.

September 15th Energy heads into The Outpost to record our 8 song Ep for Rock Vegas Records until September 18th.

So many great bands have recorded there before us:

Dropkick Murphys
Unseen
Blood For Blood
Lars From Rancid has done vocal tracks there
Earth Crisis
Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Circle Jerks
American Nightmare
Reach The Sky
Slapshot
Darkbuster

the list goes on

ever since i was a little kid first getting into bands like Operation Ivy and The Misfits, i've dreamt about being there while some huge record is being made, (knowing i would never record there myself).

i'd walk by there all the time looking down the driveway hoping to see someone in a cool band walking around outside, and maybe just maybe they'd let me in and watch.
Yesterday I handed Jim Seigel a rough basement recording of our 8 songs we're going to record with him and talked with him for a bit about stuff, he showed me around the studio in and out of all the booths and he gave me the recording dates.
It was surreal, i still can't really beleive i'm recording there. i know it seems that i make things out to be way more big of a deal than they are, but this is really important to me. that was always a seemingly improbable personal goal of mine, to one day record at the outpost. and it's finally happening. i can't wait for whichever day it is between sept 15 adn 18th that i get to call up all my friends across the street at al's house and have them come over and do gang vocals in the best recording studio in the world for MY band. i hate to sound cheesy but...This is truly a dream come true.
