indeed.

i’ve gotten a lot of tweets and messages about this next topic, so i figure i owe it to all of you to shed some light on whats been going on in my life.   After the Australian tour I was staying in LA for a few days and had the opportunity to be offered a new job.  Ever since 9th grade i’ve wanted to live in california.  I love the smell, the weather, the oceans.  When you tour 280 days out of the year though its kind of hard to justify having your own place, especially with the price tag of LA.  
The past two years have been pretty much perfect.  I’ve been around the globe twice, seen about every inch of the americas and developed life long friends along the way.  I owe a lot to All Time Low, they gave me a shot when they didn’t have to, when i didn’t have all the experience just all of the heart.  For that i am grateful to them forever.  I hope from their point of view that I was viewed as a hard worker who took my job seriously and tried to be the best at it.  When you look at it at the end of the day it was a job, was it a sweet job?  Yes, but i believe our friendship goes deeper then that.  I hope to be friends with these boys for the rest of my life, and i would stick up for them any day of the week.  Blood runs deeper then paychecks. 
 I always knew I wasn’t going to be a guitar tech for the rest of my life, its not what i wanted.  While it’s been an amazing opportunity for me its not the end all be all of what i want out of life.  Being 40years old and on the road is not my idea of a perfect life nor one that i would be happy with.   Eventually i’d like to go into the business side of music, maybe management.  This new job gave me that chance early.  I get to work for one of the few people who is barred in it, and for one someone i respect most.  While you may not “get it” i don’t really expect you to, i feel this is deeper then a lot can comprehend.   Don’t hate on either party though, this was my decision, something I had to do for myself.  In the end i hope you can understand that and be happy for me as a person.  Like me for who i am and not for what i do.  

This is me, this is real.
