Nope, I'm not dead or hiding underground. I've been trying to write this text about 4 times in the last two weeks.
I think I've never had so many things on the plate before. If I start to talk about the carrots it's not gonna satisfied anyone, but if I write about the whole menu people are gonna get so full they'll fall asleep.
Besides, after writing about jumping from an airplane and getting my tooth punched off, who the hell cares about carrots.
In the music world there are a lot of opinions and comments about how to present yourself, what to say and how to be. Many times I've heard that you should always try to give out a picture that everything is going just great and smoothly, even when it's not.
I understand the point. Who wants to be portrayed as a sad, grumpy person with a negative energy?
Well, in my case I gotta take the risk coz sugar coding things has never been a skill of mine.
Trying to say I had an awesome day when I actually feel like I just stepped out of a trash can, just doesn't work and will only lead to a very superficial and boring text. However, there are many ways to step out of a trash can, why not do it with style?
The last weeks have been like an insane marathon race. Between band rehearsals I've been trying to check off all the business related things from the to-do list, in order to give myself as much time as possible to focus only on the music before the album release.
There are so many categories as well as people to deal with at the same time, I'd need to put my head in a bucket of ice not to over heat my brain cells.
With other words, it hasn't been an easy ride, but then again, it's not supposed to.
It's like my Kung-Fu master says about my jump kicks. You gotta go down in order to go up.
I rather sweat and bleed a little bit for a total excitement, than look back a few years from now and remember my first album like something simple and smooth.
The more stressful the environment is, the more tools you need to balance yourself and recognize what you need.
A year ago, I still didn't trust that a few hours of rest or other activity between the tasks will make you more productive. Now I'm finally starting to learn. It's like muscles. Without working out, you won't get stronger but without rest your muscles won't grow.
Rock it!

| Rehearsing with the guys is like a big reward after a day of hard work |
 |
| Shooting action fights a couple of hours every once in a while is one of my favorite ways to keep balanced. |

Ps. There are some absolutely awesome news on the way, just need the big guys to confirm some things first ;)
