It's 4 O'clock in the Freakin' Morning
Actually it's 5 in the morning according to my laptop clock. I'm pretty sure the clock is set to central time and we are in the eastern time zone. Brandon and I have taken the brunt of the late night driving shift as we make our way from New York to Nashville. Needless to say it's a very long drive. If I can sleep I'll wake up about the time we need to load in for the show tomorrow. This is our life, and it's a love/hate relationship.
It seems to me that every good piece of writing includes at least one quote so I'll use this one: "People say that what we are all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think this is what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an experience of being alive." - Joseph Campbell from "The Power of Myth." I suppose that is why we do what we do. I've always been a believer that as humans we shouldn't just walk through the proverbial garden, but instead we should take time to savor the scent of the roses.
As curious as it may seem, I often feel like I'm unsure of the direction my life will take. Being a part of Quietdrive is a blessing, but there are days and weeks and even months that I wonder where all of this will end up. It's not a dubious pondering, but rather a investigative uncertainty. We live during a time where so many things are changing and the music industry is not spared. Our whole world is on the verge of metamorphosis. You can't help but wonder what's next.
On a narcissistic level my personal life is also going through some major renovation. I'm not going to go into detail because I do value my own privacy on a certain level, but you will all know what I mean soon enough. Ultimately I'm just grateful that I have so many people to travel these hi-ways and bi-ways with. After all, what fun is questioning the meaning of the trip if you don't have someone to share the journey with?

Well it's now 4 O'clock in the freakin morning MY time, so it seemed fitting to comment at this time.
Though I probably don't have as much reason to yet, I also question a lot about where I'm going with what I do. If I dwell on it too much, I get scared....so I try to throw caution to the wind and just live live live life as well and as much in a fun way as I can =]
Wow Droo there was some pretty big words in that....hows your brain doing?
As a senior in college, pursuing a degree and career in the television broadcasting industry I can relate. There are so many moments, days, weeks and months where I ask myself... "what the hell are you doing". I have a boatload of student loans just to get this piece of paper that says I spent 4 years in college. Then I have to try and get a job in a cut throat industry where you usually have to fit this pre-determined mold of little, blonde bombshell. In which I do not fit into. But then I just realize that I'm not going into this for money, though it would be nice to have. And I'm not doing this for fame, which again could be kinda cool... But I'm attempting to break into something that I love. Something that will excite me to get up in the morning and go to work, at least I hope. And that should be enough right???
Droo you are amazing at what you do and have thousands, if not millions of people out there that love, respect and admire you. So I guess what I'm trying to say is I think you're doing what you were put here to do. And you're doing a damn good job!
everyone needs a bit of egocentricity in their lives. its not a bad thing!
life gives you hell. bring on the fire!
its just a part of being human. wondering what life will hold in the future.
i'm only 19 and i'm already graduated from college (dont worry i'm not some genius, just went to culinary school that only lasted 18 months). and now i'm faced with the real world and sometimes i feel like i'm just a kid and where did my childhood go and since when am i an ADULT? needless to say, it gives a girl a lot to think about.
guess its time to hit the pavement and be the chef i've been trained to be.
if you guys ever need a chef...i'd love to be that girl!! i'm killer at cooking meals in a dorm. had to for the whole year i was in school, so i'm pretty sure i could do the same on the road. just need a george forman grill and a rice cooker and a microwave. lol :D
just dont let the oblivion of the future get you down. enjoy life for what you have right now and know that we all love the work you do and wouldnt consider our lives complete without the wonderful gift of music you provide us with!
It just so happened that you posted this on 11/11. I kinda hope you made a wish then, because, well...making wishes and believing they can come true can help solve a lot of problems...
The funny thing is, I am totally commenting this wayyyy too late for it to even matter. But heyy, wishes can come true. You guys ARE coming to Milwaukee in 13 days, and I DO get to see you, and hang out [hopefully]. I hope everything personal life-wise gets solved for you. Like you said, at least you have four of your best firends with you constantly on this crazy little journey we call life =)
See you soon <3
