Last week, Blink 182 announced that the band was on permanent hiatus. I went to their concert when I was a freshman in college back 1997. (Wow…that’s almost eight years ago.) A couple years after that Blink became super-popular as pop music took hold. Since then they’ve been touring, recording, and touring more. When you have the spotlight, you have to work to keep it.

The press release explained that the guys in the band wanted to spend time with their families and enjoy the fruits of their hard work. I can understand how they feel.

After five years of being on the road almost every weekend, just sitting in my home is the greatest treat in the world. I can enjoy my friends, my girlfriend, my house, my cars, my church, and my backyard. I love it!
