2004-08-26 - 7:13 p.m. - and just like that 10am came and went and it looks like everything is going to be fine. better than fine. i remember one year ago, i had just moved back into my parent's house because i had run out of money. i was painting my old bedroom walls a beautiful shade of green and listening to the new amsterdams, trying to figure out what the hell to do with my life. i had no idea how i was going to pay my bills that month and i had forgotten what it felt like to own something new or do something nice for myself. i was in the midst of booking the fall tour for my band: 16 hours a day on my computer and my phone, usually not changing out of my pajamas or eating. my mom finally realized that dropping out of college and quitting my job to book and manage my band full-time was the most rational thing i could have done, but i was totally depressed and felt like all the work i was doing was being wasted on people who would never deserve the things i had the potential to give them. fast forward one year. just one year. |
