Home again.
Ah, sometimes I don't want to leave...when I come back there's always a lot of cleaning and shit to do because I don't have anyone taking care of it while I'm gone.
Like I said before, if anyone wants to drop in or give me a call, just let me know because I have no plans other than sleep the next three days. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) fionapple, of course, if you want to come hang out, we can. I'll send you an e-mail or something.
Oh, and did I mention I registered for AIM? I'm am: LJChadKroeger. I log on sometime in the next three days and try to catch a few of you.
I wonder if there will even come a day when my updates get entertaining? Nah, probably never because I'm a very boring, laid-back person.
Which idiot's idea was it to have only three user icons for livejournal?

Kansas. We just checked into the hotel room about an hour ago, we have a show here tonight. Most of the guys and some of the crew are out right now. Ryan and I stayed behind...we've both had enough of that for right now.
He's asleep, but I don't drop off that easily.
We have tonight and tomorrow night and then we're off for about six days. I guess you'd call it a break, though I know I still have shit to do.
I haven't really talked about what the rest of the band plans on doing, but I'm going to New York. I have to take care of some business there and I'd like to spend my break at home. I'll have the majority of those days off, so I'd like to be in New York.
Are you surprised I have a place in New York instead of Canada? There are several logical and good reasons why I re-located.
Besides the show, we, as a group, didn't really do anything to celebrate Independence Day. There was a party we went to, but there are always parties, even if there is no occasion. I never saw the fourth as a real holiday anyway.
It's almost like President's Day or something like that - you learn about it in sophomore history class, you know of it's existence, but it really doesn't mean much to you once you get out of school and on with your lives. It's always been like that for me.
I'll be in New York around noon on the 8th. I'm going to be sure to take off as soon as the show's over, because I supposed to be there early. I'll be free until late on the 11th, when I'll have to be in Canada for the next show. I'm mentioning this to let anyone reading to know I'll be free for all of that time, stationed in New York.
This entry was informative, and obviously boring. I'll try to get exciting someday. Maybe I'll be spontaneous and register for an AIM screen name...just as long as people talk to me, I think I'll be okay with getting it.

We're down in Milwaukee right now for our show tomorrow. Yeah, we have to work on Independence Day, but it's not a big deal. What's the fourth without music, anyway?
I've noticed people have finally wandered into my secluded cave and discovered I have a journal here. Shit, I thought I was safe hiding out here, but they've found me.
In all seriousness, if you add me to your friends-list, I'll add you back. I haven't really had the chance to do any extensive commenting, but I do when I find time.
I think it's hilarious how I'm getting told that I'm not the only one sick of hearing Hero, Too Bad, How You Remind Me...because we're just as sick of hearing them as you are. Radio and television are big promoters when it comes to music, but sometimes they end up killing the product.
Touring is only going to make us even more tired of the material and ready to go record new - but we're okay for right now. The video for the new single has already been made and if I've heard correctly, it's supposed to premiere soon? I don't think it has yet, but I'd have to double-check on that.
The food has arrived, so I think I'm going to eat.

We'll be in Barrie, ON in a few hours for the show tomorrow, er, tonight, actually.
I'm tired...another show finished...it's really hot in here.
Have I mentioned how much I like Lifehouse? Fucking amazing album.
I'm really sick of hearing Hero on the radio and TV, but I shouldn't complain.

I just heard that on some radio station, and I don't know which station because this information has been passed on since it was announced, I guess, there was a survey taken by children about who are the scariest looking people in entertainment today. I was just informed I made that list.
I was also told I have been quoted as to look like a "scary-looking Jesus".
Well, fuck...it's nice to know I'm giving kids nightmares.

We play at the United Center in Chicago tonight. Tour's been going well, so far.
It still amazes me to browse message boards concerning our group or see people on TV and find them claiming to love me or one of my band mates. I don't think it's scary, because I can't imagine any of them going as far as to stalk us or anything of that matter - we don't look like the guys from N*sync or anything, but it still weirds me out. They don't know us. They really don't, and still they claim to love us. It's strange.
That's the one thing about touring I don't like - the loneliness. It's true when they say that touring is a lonely road. It can sometimes put a damper on the excitement of it all.
Despite what you might've read on celebrity news websites and things like that, I am not with anyone at the moment. I did have a girlfriend, but we broke it off about a month ago because we were having problems with my job, her job, and the lack of real time I had to spend with her. We were at two different points in our lives, it just wasn't going to happen for us and we both knew that.
I haven't really talked to her since the break-up, but I understand she's already moved on to seeing other people. I've never been the kind to be able to move on from a relationship that quickly. I don't sit around alone for months, but I don't jump onto another after only a couple weeks. I need time to think things out and move on emotionally before I move on physically. She didn't feel the same way.
I have some obligations before going on tonight, so I better take care of them.

This is great...I register for this fucking thing, get it set up, and go to make my second entry and it won't even let me see my journal...or anything else that has any relationship to live journal. This can't be good.
As I said already, yesterday was the kick-off of our tour. The first date went great - you could just feel the excitement in the air as things started. Every song was played with this exhilarating amount of energy, and the crowd was pumped. They were yelling and jumping around, singing along...I love being on tour. There's nothing like it.
We're down in Minneapolis getting all of our shit ready to go on for our second date tonight. I've got most of what I need ready to go and I'm settled for some down-time for about an hour.
I guess I'll go find some food around here and see where the guys took off to.

I think I hate this format. I'll probably end up screwing around with it most of the night.
Tour starts tomorrow, at the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We're already down here, staying in a hotel room, resting up. We've been preparing for months now. I'm excited, as I always am before a tour. I decided to register for this so I'd have something else to do while we travel.
I guess I'll go browse and add friends. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll snag an icon and slap it on.
