Soda Sunday Twenty Two

I write this wonderful twenty second blog from the comforts of my home. I never sleep when I first get back, like 5 hrs tops is a good night for me. I'm just too excited to be home.

The tour wrapped up a blast. Roxy homecoming show as awesome, and my entire evening was made when a security guard approached me after the set to tell me it was the best show he'd seen in his entire 5 years working there. I'm not sure I believe it 100% but it was certainly a nice comment.

Time sure flies when you're having fun, and if there's one thing I've learned on this tour its to try to enjoy each day at a time. I stress out all the time over whats gonna happen, how to handle it best, worry, bla bla.....and although the psychosis drives some of my artistry(and certainly many of my 4am blackberry messages to my manager) I'm not sure that its healthy. I'm gonna TRY, (and I'm sure I won't be perfect) but yes I'll try to live a hint more in the moment for now. We're all so fucking lucky that no matter what you gotta pinch yourself and smile that we're even here in the first place.

speaking of which iGetTo.com is coming this week! It's gonna be a place to go list your "i get to:"s and have them either appear anonymously or directly integrate to your twitter. (there's more info on the site so I won't get into it now) but its not about trying to do anything other than make people feel better. no ambitions of money, power, or world domination and that is a somewhat refreshing change for me. that being said, I'm still driving full force ahead on the other areas of my life and don't you worry, we're on course still!

I mean, United States Of Evan has a great ring to it right?

the uStream yesterday was kinda off the kicker. We broke our record and at one point had over 600 people watching live. Now while I'm sure for 50 Cent or someone that would be weak but for us, I couldn't possibly be any more proud of how far we've come. Our family has grown exponentially and with it our strength, reach and the amount of cool shit we've done has gone with it!

Tomorrow I'll throw the newly tweaked vocals into best years and start finalizing the track, after that we'll mix em! Waiting on Pumpkin Pie for a little mix action and then we can give the album the final thumbs up, fix the artwork, track listings etc and get this thing back on the schedule for release. I've been getting a TON of e-mails, @replies, and forum messages asking about release dates and I'd be letting down my reputation if I said anything other than "don't worry, it'll be soon"

New car smell is one of the best things in the planet, so is nag champa, (and super hit for that matter).

Peets New Guinea roast, Cody washer machine sounds, a warm and spacious shower, giant desk and oatmeal, life is great at the moment. these little things make me feel like a billionaire. I feel bad for Warren Buffet, he's down 10 billion from last year, I'm sure he'll be ok though.

I wonder if I'll ever make the forbes 400. Its like one of those strange things you always think about. Like, I've always wondered if I'll catch a fowl ball at a baseball game but that never happens either. something tells me I've got a much better chance of hitting the forbes list then catching the baseball, but that's just me.

Sushi tonight!
love you all.
Studio all week so I can get you guys this album asap!
