3:11a - Erf...  
'Erf' is my new word for you people who aren't in the know. I've been up all night because my coughing fits haven't given up on me, and hell if John is going to give me any more meds tonight. I think he's been sleeping soundly for...three hours now...ever since the hotel manager called and told me to turn down the Adema that I had blasting against the wall that connects to John's room. They always know how to spoil our fun, don't they?

Oh yeah...I've kidnapped Tarja T. for the time being, or until John decides to let me out of my 'prison.' He can't keep me in here forever, and I'll be damned if being locked up in a little hotel room is going to make me feel better. Having someone to talk to is nice though. At least she doesn't scream at me like the rest of the guys ;D

Mark McGrath, sorry for running off earlier. As I said, I really fucking hate the connection on this laptop, and it's a miracle that it's letting me even post at this point. However, how do you expect me to even argue between Adema and Korn? I mean, isn't that a total lost cause to even try to start? Oh well, maybe I'll think more on it and come up with a decent answer...

Philosophy thought of the night: Egoism = Self Love vs. Pleasure. It is said that service is not conducive to Self Love, however, there is a difference between Self Love and the showing of hate (or love for that matter) to other people. Benevolence towards others is listed under Pleasure, along with everything that is not considered the means to an end. Happiness is considered the ultimate end, and the only thought out and well planned principle that can be applied under Self Love.

(I'll get back to you all when I figure out what the hell I was trying to say with that...)

Oh yes, and *love* my new icons. You know it's bad when you're getting tired of your own icons...

GUTEN erm... MORGEN! heh...

I should have told him no...Dammit...Mark McGrath, there has yet to be a word invented to describe this situation...You fucker, I can't believe I actually gave you that address...Next time I'll know better...

12:26a - Heh...  
I don't know what in the world posessed me today, but I did throw a fit over DazWolf's new icon. It's just too cool, don't ask me why. So I talked to him, and he agreed to make me a new icon. The one really weird thing is if he sits down to draw an icon, it usually comes out 'furry,' or they've got animals in them. He told me that I seemed like a 'horse person' to him, so this new icon is what came out of that conversation. It's only me because he pulled all the colors on it out of the pic that I use as my default icon, but I love it anyway. Yadda yadda yadda...

PS: I am the *only* one who is allowed to pick on Wolf!

4:40p - My pimpage for the day...  
I was reading through my old interviews, and well, I decided I should be talking about this guy a hell of a lot more then I actually do. I know he's a pain in the ass, but he's a musical genius too...

November 7, 2002: Phone Interview (before my cell went dead...heh)

Butch Walker and I have been friends since before either band (refering to SR-71 and Marvelous 3)had a record deal. We met up as two unsigned acts playing the circuit trying to get a deal. We hit it off instantly and we've been friends ever since. Working with him is very very comfortable cause there's no pretense cause we started out at the exact same time. He's one of the few people who thinks exactly the way I do musically and it really helps when it comes to the language of music. There's no arguements, and what arguments there are, either person wins there's still - it's very positive. There are no bad ideas when the two of us get together. I like that a lot. As far as him producing the band , when you respect your producer and you know your producer, the band is willing to do tons and tons and tons of things. When he came out to work with us it was like - he's in the band. Let's try this, let's try that. We'd go through everything, we came out with some great ideas. He's such a gifted musician, and I think he's probably gonna be - I give him even less than five years, but I'll say five years and I think he's gonna own the radio. There are guys that they just have their day. For a long time if you looked at any record on modern rock it was mixed by Tom Lord Alge Or Andy Wallace and produced by - what's the guys name, he did the Linkin Park record, Don Gilmore. There's just a moment in time when those people captured the sound, whatever that sound is that everybody is looking for, it's in that guy's head. I think Butch is one of those people that has a sound in his heaad that is -he's gonna hit his stride. One day we're gonna turn on the radio and that hour we're gonna hear ten songs and nine of which will be produced by him.

So yeah, have another drink on me man! Cheers...

7:56p - Ordinary day...  
Not too much to really update about. I am getting better healthwise, thank god, and I should be good to go come next Monday's show. Four shows to go, with our huge blow out in DC on the 4th, it should be a ton of fun.

Since I don't have too much to say, I'm going to post what John (our drummer) posted up on the site last night. He finally wrote us a kick ass song, and if you come to the shows I'm sure you'll hear it ;D

NEW ENGLAND ROCKS!!!!
Providence was cool and Hampton Beach KICKS ASS! We did play the new song I was talking about. It's called "Fucked-Up All American." We soundchecked with it in Providence one time and opened both shows with it! We like to live on the edge of catastrophe!!!! It felt really good. I finally feel like I have written a good song that fits this band. I think everybody in the band really likes playing it. The verses are about shit that I did as a kid - the kind of things that most people I know have done or experienced. It's about growing-up and getting away with murder (figuratively). It's about being a kid in America. Anyway, I just want to thank everyone who came out and hung out with us afterward. Big Ups to the Streetteam for traveling up from NYC to help us out.

John


Take care guys.

11:44p - New plans...  
I'm going insane, I really am, however permitting that everything goes as planned, I should be seeing some 'entertainment' soon...Not that kind of entertainment, you perverts...

Alright, so first things first...Kandyce Johnston wants a clone of me just because everyone knows that I'm not around *all* of the time. Soooo...I'm letting her make a clone, as well as another one for the second part of this message. If anyone else would like a designer Mitch clone...let me know...(I still can't believe I'm doing this...)

Part two is that I'm becomming a stalker in my spare time. Shhh, don't tell anyone. I've decided on one person that I'm going to follow around, and if not me, then the other clone. Yeah, David 'Phoenix' Farrell doesn't get near enough attention, so I'm going to stalk him for a while. Sad thing is, he already knows about this...*sigh* Oh well, it'll be fun.

Alright, enough fucking insaneness for one night...

5:17a - 7:15 am...  
No, the time doesn't mean that I just got up. I've been up all night, celebrating the fact that they say I'm over the flu! Trust me, the band is fucking lucky that I can go out now. I would have killed them all.

I have to admit, having a few drinks didn't feel all that bad either, but I know I'll come crashing down when the buzzing goes away. Oh well, shit happens. Can't say that I'm complaining though...Just wish there could have been *more* people...

Oh yes, our "Punkish Artist" was back at it again, and I'll post in the cut what ended up in my mail. What can I say? Even artists have the right to be a bit warpped at times...



So other then that I've been suffering from the normality of tour life, though I am debating having more metal put in my ear shortly...One of these days I'll have to start piercing something else, but as long as there is still room on my ears I'll be fine. *Whistles along with the damn annoying birds* Well, Saturday morning...Time to go to bed! Laytez...
