Hello everyone,
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who sent love, prayers, and positive vibes my way during my time of need. As many of you know, my father was very ill for a long time and passed away a little under two weeks ago. I took a temporary break from the band in order to be closer to my family and to help out with whatever he needed. Although it's still very painful, I'm calm, collected and ready to make beautiful music once again. There is nothing on this earth that brings me more joy than making music with the people I love, for the people I love. I just want to play my guitar and see the joy on your beautiful faces.

That is who I was two years ago. Stuck in a perpetual state of emotionless existence. Near death, overweight, unhealthy, living a life of total recklessness, on my hands and knees praying to a god I didn’t believe in that I would disappear completely. I’ve destroyed countless relationships and left a trail of wreckage through the lives of people I so deeply care for. Aaron: A pathetic fraction of a human being.
Nearly two years ago I said farewell to my best friend: A friend who was there for me, who loved me unconditionally, who nurtured me, who allowed me to feel like a complete human being. A friend I learned so much from, a friend that lied to me, a friend that took everything from me, a friend who duped me into believing I was insane, a friend who tried to kill me. Aaron: An awakening
As I stand on the cusp of my two-year anniversary, I look at all of the gifts of life I once took for granted. I can smile and laugh again. I can love someone with sincerity. I can process thought and emotion. I can accept myself for who I am. I can live inside my own skin. To those of you who stood behind me during my troubled times, I thank you. Words cannot express how I feel about you. I want to tell you that I love you. Aaron: Alive and living

I have to admit I was a bit nervous and excited when I woke up this morning knowing it was video release day. I've never been in a music video before. Thank you to all for your overwhelming response. It made my day. Actually it made my year! Thank you to Mr. Justin Staggs and his AMAZING crew for busting their "buns-o-steel" to make this video happen. You're going places kid ;) I'd also like to thank Becky and Matthew the stars of the video for what seemed like 20 straight hours of standing on their feet, and running through the woods without eating at the right time. You guys are going places too.
Blessed!
Aaron

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that have been coming out to the shows in recent months. We have the best fans in the world. Never have I been in a band before ST where I've seen so many of the same faces singing and dancing along. Some drive hours to come see us! That's dedication! Thank you all so very much. We'll see you at the next one!

Not since I was a teenager do I remember listening to the amount of music I've been listening to lately. It's almost as if I have musical ADD except I'm collecting and retaining the information. I can go from The Clash to Dylan to Cindy Lauper in a matter of just a few minutes. I've also been geeking out ever so slightly listening to lost recordings of Buddy Holly. Some demos he did in his apartment in NYC in the late 50's. It's crazy to think he recorded them in his apartment long before technology made it so easy. He had a GIANT 2-Track machine, and probably used a Nueman mic as well. That's all for now.
Hugs,
Aaron
