Gotta share something amazing... Been going through some really tough timed these last couple of months. I have been broken, beat up, hurt and lost. A good friend of mine asked if I was praying. You see Ive been thinking of quiting music, leaving the state and try to start over. I couldnt find any answers. Although I was praying I wasnt asking the right questions. Sunday while working on hotrods with my buddy I prayed and I asked God to please give me a sign on what Im supposed to be doing with my life. Im not one for looking signs and if there was a sign I probably wouldnt notice it if it slapped me in the face. Then last night it happened... I got a call from my amp endorsement (Risson) letting me know my amp was finished with all the new updates and my second cabinet was ready as well. I was not as stoked as you might think because of how down Ive been. I finished work and headed to fullerton. The owner sat with me about an hour explaining the different features of the amp and telling me how proud he was of us. It was getting late so I went to put the amp in the car. I grabbed it by the handles and thats when I saw my sign. On the back of my amp was the sign of the fish. I immediately gasped followed by goosebumps. I covered my mouth pointed at the fish and looked at the owner. He said yup they all have that. Slash has it on his, van halen, Lita ford...I couldnt believe it. I asked for a sign and it could not have been more clear. Ive not been the same sense Matt died, that was really hard on me and watching a good friend that I grew up with pass really made me question what was important and I have completely shattered my life. On top of that certain people have really torn me apart and I wasnt doing well. This entire soul search Ive been doing was to feel like Im good enough and even recently Ive had to go through some things that made me feel like I wasnt good enough. Truth is...I am. I good at many things, as a matter of fact Im extremely talented at anything I put my mind too, but when it comes down to it Im a musician and a damn fine song writer and I do it all because I love to be on stage. So if I prayed for a sign and the Lord appears on my amp in the former of a sign, then I know now with all my heart what I am meant to do. I have every opportunity to do what Ive been trying to do for 15 years. Why was I about to let that all go? Ive been called lots of amazing things but lately the only word to describe my actions would have to be bonehead. Today is the truly the first day of the rest of my life. In an hour I head back to hollywierd for day three of our second album. Im not letting anyone hurt me anymore. God bless...and Thats Whats up!
