I only have 3 songs left to track. Hope it goes well. All the ones I’ve done so far have been good. I’m happy with them, so far. Anyways….
I just rode my bike from the apartment, to the bank. Longest bike ride I’ve ever done. It was good though. Learned how out of shape I was, and saved some gas. But my seat is really hard, and makes every bump exceptionally uncomfortable. Time to get one.
But life is good. Just hanging out, working, kinda. Everything is good. So long.
Well, a lot has happened since the last time I wrote. Where to begin. Let’s start with the easy stuff first.
Cody and Sarah came to visit last weekend. The 70.3 mile Ironman was last sunday, and them, Jim and Amy, BJ, Jeff Eaton and his family, and Melissa all came for it. It was a really good weekend. Especially hanging out with Cody and Sarah. Miss that.
This weekend, Jenna and Cat came here to visit. We went shopping, and shopped, and shopped, and did a bunch of girl thing. But still fun.
Okay, bigger news. I’m employed! I found a job with Manpower Temporary Services. It will be weird, never the same, and maybe a little stressful. But it’s flexible, interesting, and pays well. Simple as that, I hope.
Even bigger news. Starlit Platoon, as of today, is officially not a signed band. That’s right. We were dropped this morning. Now, it was nothing because of what we did, kinda. Record labels, I have found, no matter how big or small, have no conviction of not following up on their promises. They will say that they will do something, and not do it. We were told that we would be contacted soon many times, told about deadlines, and other things of that nature. And when that was confronted by us, we were confronted about saying anything, and dropped. That’s it.
So, Starlit Platoon is now an independent band. Which is a good thing, i guess, since all of the stuff said above was not going to end. It is disheartening, but we will go on, and pray for something that will be a step forward.
Anyways, that is what is going on. If anyone wants to contact me about it, call me. Or contact me through twitter…. @duncangrantz. Thanks.
I just posted a big update, and then posted. But I got disconnected from the internet, and it didn’t post, and erased it. so here’s the shorter version of what I just typed.
Apartment is good. It gets messy really easily. I cleaned the whole thing yesterday, and after dinner, it’s messy again. more cleaning.
Went to watch Corey play an acoustic show Thursday night. He did good. Music was good. Fun times.
Tour has gotten pushed back. Jess doesn’t believe we are actually ever going to go on tour. Maybe she’s right. 5th time tour plans have been announced/changed since march. I guess that’s how it goes.
Tour plans changed means employment search redefined. Yet again. I’m ready for the band to making good money. It would be much easier.
No progress yet on my side projects. Yes, plural. None are extremely serious, but wanted. Corey is probably coming over next week, so we’ll see if anything unfolds.
Anyways, sorry there’s not much explaining. But blame the internet. There was, before it kicked me off. Goodbye, and thanks.
I’m married. It’s good. REALLY good.
We have our apartment and home set up, for the most part. We’re still trying to make sure everything is where we want it. But so far, I like it a lot.
Job wise, Jess is making me look bad. Has a job, and is already being talked about getting promoted. Yet, no one wants to hire Me. Oh well. I’m going to go play downtown with the case open, and hope to make a little money. Every little bit counts, I guess.
Tour starts in less than a month. I’m excited, weird about it. The longest time that I will be away from Jess ever. But it is what I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. We will see how everything goes.
So I’m starting some “side projects”. One, just me. Another with a friend with whom we’ve been trying to do stuff for a long time. And another one that was decided on a whim. We’ll see how far it goes.
Well, that’s it. If anyone wants to come up for a visit. let me know. I’d love visitors. For real, I would.
I’m sitting in the grooms dressing room, listening to the family and guest talking outside, and thinking, again, about how life is going by. I’m all of a sudden 20, and getting married, and i’ve never been more happy/shocked in my life. I’m becoming a husband today, and a lifetime partner for someone. Though I doubt myself, I also have the confidence to go through with this. One thing I’ve learned, engagement isn’t to big of a deal. It’s the wedding that is the big deal. So guys, and girls, be prepared for that.
