Who want's my job!!!
I got up today. Did some fishing in the creek. Went and looked at compound bows. Ate sunflower seeds on my porch. Wore a Pabst blue ribbon shirt....Jack Daniels belt buckle....flip flops...shorts..and girl's leopard sunglasses all day. Shot 100 rounds on a glock 9 mm handgun. Ate meat. watched hockey. I'm a fucking redneck.

dearest squealer,
I don't think that anyone has an answer to post tour depression....it's a hard one. Pretty much the only thing you can do is go back out...or pretend you're still out.........in order to pretend you will need the following items:
don't get up until 3pm-whatever you do.
start drinking right around sound check or sooner.
hit yourself with something in the balls or in the foot.
get pissed often.
say "living the dream" at least 800 times before finally brushing your teeth after 6pm. (yes drinking beer always beats brushing teeth)
somewhere throw in a set of music.
breakdown. and load the fucking equipment.
grab a beer for load out.
drink tons of beer and whiskey...preferably jack.
do it all over again in the same order the next day.....insert girls where appropriate.
In closing-there is no compensation for missing me....I'm one of a kind. Just miss me....
we miss you------rakus

stealing internet...suckers
So. A complete update. We are now in berlin. JUst cleared outta the bus a few hours ago, and have checked into a hostel in the downtown area. As soon as we get here matt broke about three beer bottles in the stairwell..and it began to rain alcohol all the way down to the dirty white tile on the first floor...funny....can't take us anywhere. fuck. Anyways..then a few of us got food...that was overpriced. --by the way..all of us are jammed into a single room....and nate is actually sleeping in a real VW beetle that is in here with us...it's purple and has a bed inside...fucking insane...so he's in there right now on the internet...what else. Said goodbye to tribute to nothing last night..gonna miss those guys..it was fun, and we wish them the best of luck. I also fucked my ankle last night at the club....so now I look ridiculous walking around trying not to put weight on it....figures that we have a few days off and I destroy myself..so---we will stay here in berlin for a few days, and see some good friends..and drink some beer..etc. Thanks to everyone who came out to the shows...cause you give us the chance to come over here and see different places....even if it's just the inside of clubs and bars sometimes..ok--rambling aside..I'm out...
the rakus
living the dream.
