Women
I will never understand them. Never, ever, ever. I am torn right now. I want to write about the positive things going on. K, I will do just that. On a positive note, I think every single song on the new disc is written about a dating experience good or bad. Anyway, we go into the studio on Friday to start the new album. I am so psyched about that. This past weekend, I actually got to meet someone incredible on Sunday that I had no idea I would be able to. If you recall, around the holidays, I had seen a story about an accident victim on TV. They followed her story throughout her recovery and I wondered how I might go about meeting her. It turns out we had the same doctors who helped put us back together. So, I mentioned something to him a while back. He passed along one of my discs as a token of good will. She emailed me last week. We got together over the weekend. It was an amazing experience. I had a huge amount of respect for her before we met. Although how we got there was extremely different, our recoveries followed similar paths at times. It was a very powerful and emotional experience for me to be able to sit across from someone who had been through some of the same things. I think the worst of it still has to be the memory and experience of waking up with a tube in my neck. For the first time in my life, not breathing out of my nose or mouth. I know, thanks for sharing… Either way, I feel so lucky to have met her. She is a truly amazing woman who continues to lead a remarkable life. We had a great day together and I am certain we will meet again.
