I watched Iron Giant tonight. That was a good movie…but definitely a different vibe. I’d say I am feeling emotionally weird right now. I can’t get self-consumed. That’s not good.“Remember, even if it is vacation, traveling is always work.”

I have this weekend off, and I need every second of it. Ugh…then I need to do more work: laundry, get a lawn mower then mow the lawn, get a refrigerator. Then I can start making this house a sanctuary, a place to rest when I am not out trying to save the world.

Matt Maher said that I need to let people love me more. He said I had a very private side.

I am glad I travel every weekend. I want to fight a good fight, and if I was just lounging around entertaining myself every weekend, I’d feel like a waste of talent. These laps around the country will eventually stop. When they do, I’ll be at peace…relief. At times I’ll miss the adrenaline of stepping behind the mic in front of a bunch of soon-to-be-friends.

It’s like in college in the last week of a semester. Come Friday afternoon, it’ll all be over. Saturday morning you’ll sleep in. You have a choice, you wake up that Saturday knowing you gave it all you got, or will you wake up knowing you could’ve given more.

When my life is through, I will be going down throwing fists. I know I write about this a lot, but I have to. It’s an attitude that keeps me going. The challenges never stop, so the attitude has to stay strong.
