The Killers have finally won me over. Their cover of "Romeo and Juliet" by Dire Straits hooked me. There's something about his vocal delivery that is very endearing to me. I'm speaking in typeset to you this new afternoon from a couch in Noel's lovely virginia estate. I can see through the window for miles as the workers mind the tobacco fields. We return to 
the studio today for my second day of recording vocalizations. Recording has taken a good amount of time this turn around, it's gonna cost us a pretty penny. It's ok though, as long you're pleased we are pleased. There's a three week turnaround once we hand over the mastered version of the EP to our executive producers until it becomes readily available to the public, so i think we're not going to have this bad boy out until January. So much for giving our christmas present this year. Unless we post one or both of the songs on the myspace once they are mastered, you know sweet cheeks?

In fact, if i had time to stop and smell the poinsettas i would probably realize that it's in full swing. It makes me think of the people i've known and the people i've ceased to know. I don't like where my head is going with this i need to change the subject...
I keep thinking about where i was in previous years around this time. My life has been full of examples of me not being where i want to be, rather where i've just ended up due to the circumstances of my life. I keep thinking about how simple my life was before all of the things in my life came to be a daily part of me. I get lost in it for a while, but then i realize that a simple, or easy, life is not always one worth living. I'm surrounded by people i care about and people that care about me. I've got an amazing woman in my life and i'm in a band filled with the most genuine guys i've ever met. I guess i'm a few weeks early in thinking about the year passed, but whatever. Sometimes i get overwhelmed by everything going on and the work it takes to make it possible, but when it comes down to it, i don't know where i would be without this band. So thank you bandmates. Did that make any sense?
We have to leave in about 45 minutes, i should probably shower.

Answering your question: Yes. That paragraph on you being where you are and how you got there is basically a big part of my life that I could never put into words and makes sense in all aspects. I literally heard your music an hour ago..and looking at everything from this blog to your influences to well..your amazing music in general, I have a feeling that I'm going to be a tad of a megafan. :]
