I got back off tour three days ago now and i am currently once again adjusting to the comforts of home, its a strange feeling to find yourself adjusting to comforts but its something i constantly find myself doing all the time. Moving on to the subject of tour, we hit the road on the 12th with old friends Casio Kid,Henry Homesweet and new friend Mikey (Shirobon) I knew i would want to enjoy this tour more than any other that had came before it, maybe to prove a point to someone, maybe to prove a point to myself or maybe just so i could wind myself down doing what i love more than anything else in the world. I still cant say which one of those was the catalyst that set the week in motion for me but i think now its all said and done, it doesnt matter.
In a some what shorter version of the rant that i know im fully capable of spewing about the weeks events i shall do my best to highlight what the tour was for me. When we set off it was already so different, due to the recent departure of the band's bassist Clive, we had our good friend Tom on bass to fill in for the tour. It was awsome, just to be back on the road having a laugh with my best friends not worrying so much about all our the hangups back home, the ever shrinking amount of money in our bank accounts or the little shreds of dignity we left in each town as we went along our journey. Dont get me wrong, im not saying we were rocking it like the kids in stand by me, but we were sure as hell trying our best. The shows were busy, the good times were constant and we all made it home in one piece. All in all an amazing week.
Now home Im thankful for the trip, in the grand scale of things, it's opened my eyes to so much, from the things that I dont appreciate enough, too the people that Ive wasted too much of my time on. Its gonna be a busy next few months and im ready to embrace it at full force, for the first time in along time the future exites me as much as it scares the hell out of me. Watch this space.
