The red eye

It is much to early in the morning for anyone with a pulse to be up, but I Colin Waters am up restless and preparing for my 4:30 am shift. Rough you must say to yourself? No, I sit on my ass and fold towels for four and half hours, then basically do whatever I want the rest of the day.

In other news, I like staying up "much too late at night". It reminds of simpler times. I also have this odd urge to write music on my guitar at these strange hours, and occasionally something good comes out of it. I do a lot of thinking being up this early during the week, and I think about how eager I am to play new shows, and meet new people. To be honest I was not entirely optimistic about what was going to come of music and I right now, but I thought long and hard to myself and finally came to the conclusion to say, "Fuck it". I will never have this time of my life again, and right now I want to spend it with my friends yelling like an asshole in kids faces. I want to talk to people who will listen, and I want to play the music that has come so far with me. I am tired of all the bullshit. Tired of the "we are too old", the lack of motivation, the drive to just be comfortable. I don't care about all that. I just like playing music that is way too loud, and losing my voice. I am tired of this need to change to whatever will make you original, instead of just playing what comes out of your hands. For anyone who knows me, I have been playing metal for about as long as I've been in bands. And if I wasn't, I was probably 12 years old playing punk rock. The point is I don't give a damn about what is generic or not. I don't give a shit about what phony people say to make themselves feel better about what they are doing. I am colin, and I love to play metal. I love breakdowns, I love sweeping, I love circle pits. That is what I know, and that is what I love. That is what makes me come alive through music.

Good day
