Yesterday I claimed everything in the name of Spain.

I awoke today to find myself if quite a stupor. I was light-headed, dizzy, riddled with the inability to preserve much of my depth perception and was over-taken by a massive eye/head ache. it’s a bit different than a migraine, but not so much in a way that’s describable.

 I continue to feel like piss [14 hours later] and think it may, perhaps, be time to rest my mind and body with a relaxing evening in bed… accompanied by a movie or two, of course.

I hope this finds you quite well.

With love,

So the time has finally made its way here… the Culpa is to start recording again at the end of the month and I couldn’t be more excited. This album has been a long time in the making. Lots of tears, smiles, heartbreak, happiness, sunshine and darkness have poured from me and into this particular creation. I can only hope that it conveys on a recorded format what it does when we perform to each other’s faces in a small practice space.

We plan on keeping some sort of video blog/diary to document the recording process of our new album. No DVD this time - we learned from the last time. ;p

It will feel wonderful to start escaping things again. We’re recording in Milwaukee at a studio called The Exchange and I’m completely amped. I’ve been stuck living out my life for the last year with no touring or recording (demos don’t count) to speak of. Pure hell. I need the escape of a studio experience or a van and day-to-day unfamiliarity to keep myself sane and in check. It’s something I’ve been missing; something I’ve been longing for. Something I’ll finally have to hold in my hands again.

16 days remain.

16 days until I meet a part of myself that I haven’t met in thirteen months.

16 days until I feel I can finally start something of a much needed healing process to make peace with the last three years of my life.

What do *you* need to make peace with?

With love,
