What a terrible nightmare

Posted by Jake
January 14, 2010

It's late and I can't seem to fall asleep any sooner than 4 in the morning. You'd think I'd be able to ween myself away from my tour schedule after a month of being home and normal but not yet. When I actually fall asleep, I sleep way longer than I need to be. Sleep is just too good sometimes. I do miss waking up to the sun in my eyes begging me to come outside and play. It's not to often that you'll hear me say that, but for the first time in awhile, I feel that way. This knee surgery has kept me indoors and in bed for 4 weeks now (2 weeks left until I'm healed). It's also allowed my schedule to be the way it is. I find myself on my computer all day long almost channel surfing; flipping through the same websites over and over. Myspace, Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, Strikegently, Absolutepunk, Youtube. Over and over again, I repeat that cycle until I can't take it anymore. Lately since I finished Dexter 1-4, True Blood has somehow caught my attention. It's still hard to get into being that the acting is pretty womp womp womp. Yet again, anything that'll break that cycle I'll say yes to right now. The girl leaves me tomorrow. That's just one more thing to be sad about. It's hard having something and letting it go so you can continue on with your real life. It's definitely the hardest part about being in a band. Sorry to be sappy, but I know it's not to often that you get a chance to read about the life of a guy in a band you like. I wish I had that opportunity when I was growing up loving music. Being in a band is amazing, don't get me wrong but it does have it's ups and downs. I'm gonna miss her. More than anyone could ever know. 

If this is a dream, please wake me up

    hm. that sounds something like i felt when you walked off stage.

    we all love you,

    While I'm sure none of our comments will cheer you up quite like your girl being around, I figured I'd give you a quote from my favorite tv show:

    "Missing someone gets easier everyday because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day closer to the next time you will."

    I really hope you feel better....you're really lucky to have someone there for you, waiting, especially when you're so far away...I can only hope my boyfriend and I can stay that strong while we're both away on active duty.

    Stay strong & keep being great =]

    P.S. We're really excited to see you guys in Chicago later this month!

    aww jake dont be sad, i understand that leaving is hard but what can we do? nothing is really perfect, we try and try to achieve perfection but we cant, its impossible, but what i wanna say is that all you need to do is listen to MISERABLE AT BEST, one of your own songs ;), change the Katie in the begining and let the time heal everything..

    Its true what they say, time heal.
    I hope you get better, at least you got us, the fans, we'd do anything for you and the band, believe. you guys make our day better, you guys make that 'time' easier, you guys inspire us.. you all are REALLY important for me and i bet that people down me think the same! Thanks Jake! You should be really proud of yourself... really ♥ ILY
    sorry for me dirty english and come to braziiiiiiiiiiiiiiil!

    ok .. reading this makes me think a lot .... have the opportunity to talk to people who are so far away and whom you admire a lot is great .... able to tell you that life is spectacular and that things always happen for reasons unknown is something that fills much ... always have to look to the horizon like the last time and be Thanked by that, I hope you read this and encourage you a little because these reflections are from the bottom of my heart thinking about your feelings .. I admire a lot! all his songs encourage me a lot for some strange reason lol n_n ♥

    sorry to hear about that man. I know it really sucks when the girl leaves. I always hate it too. But that just makes it even better when they come back. Plus, youre going out to do what you love with your best friends...not to mention you get to see all of us! haha. I hope the knee keeps getting better and you find something else to break your cycle of monotony. Good luck bud. Cant wait to see you guys at Station 4
