Close Encounters

I'm in Gillette, WY, not far from Devil's Tower..."do do do do do" (singing, you get the idea) Nobody's been abducted so far. Maybe aliens don't like snow. It snowed four inches during our show tonight. We're leaving quite early in the morning tomorrow to try and get to ND before the Superbowl...hmmm...we probably won't make it. And seeing as though we have a large amount of Eagles fans on the bus the last stretch of the ride may not be pretty. Stacy I'm sure'll just "will" the bus there. E - A - G - L - E - S EAGLES! OK, short and sweet, now I'm off to watch Paris Hilton on Saturday Night Live. ~R

My Heart Hurts But what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

2/2 Butte...full of buttheads

Here I am in Butte, MT. Not really much to see or talk about here. We went to a Karaoke bar last night and I sort of started a fight between our company manager and some local. I didn't mean to, the kid just kept trying to talk to me and wouldn't go away. So, I went over to Joe and had him try and save me. Apparently this started a little rivalry and the kid started talking shit to Joe. This went on all night and when Deborah was up on stage singing, all hell broke loose. The bar tender had to kick the kid and a couple of other guys out but they waited outside for us to leave. Deborah and I had an entourage of guys walk us back to our room and the dumbass locals followed us (lucky me, their room was right next door). We locked the door and then the kids started knocking and calling, so Joe, Chris and Byron all came back and hell broke loose in the hallway. This went on for an hour or so, back and forth until they all finally left. We'll see what happens tonight. They're still here in the hotel.

Family Rules!

I'm home in Salt Lake for the day. The mountains and the lake were incredible driving in. I was completely overwhelmed. We just left Reno which was such a dive. The only redeeming moment was the short trip to Tahoe I took when I was there. I had brunch by the lake with Deborah and some of her friends that lived in the area. I have never seen water so clear before and the scenery was spectacular. There were a myriad of skiers and snowboarders slope bound and I was jealous, but the short getaway was just what I needed. Tonight all the girls from the show came to my house and had dinner. It was so wonderful to have everyone there together. Dad made chicken enchiladas and a yummy salad and Mom made a chocolate Texas sheet cake for desert. We all ended up entertaining eachother and had a great time. Christel gave us all a belly dancing lesson after we watched one of her videos. My soul has been fed and I think today was just what I needed to feel better about everything that's been going on lately. I hope I haven't been too much of a psycho. Thanks to all my friends near and far for standing by me and putting up with my crap. I love you all.

Reno...hmmm

Here I am in Reno. I've been very introspective the last couple of days and have had a few moments of self-realization. It's always a bit painful but liberating to discover a truth about yourself. Maybe it stemmed from being in the "Biggest Little City in the World", but I had one of the biggest little realizations here. I just have to say I treasure the small friendships and long lasting real friendships I have. It's never easy to discover that you really don't mean that much to some people, especially when you feel that you had some kind of relationship. But sometimes when you stop relying on others to feed your soul, you discover other things that fill it. Although I'm not sure what life has in store for me, I know what kind of a person I want to be. I hope that I will be able to share that with those who are willing to accept it. If not, I'm not going to let it get me down. All I can do is just go on being me. I can't wait to get out of Reno. I see my family in two days when we travel to Salt Lake. They feed my soul...nothing like unconditional love and support.

1/25 Short and to the point

I don't really have anything new to say today except I had a wonderful day in Olympia. I spent the day with Melissa and Sarah. We took a yoga class, ate at a little tea bistro, did a little shopping, did a little show, hit a brewery and had a wonderful non-alcoholic ginger honey brew, finished it off with some karaoke and here I am. Good Food - Good Friends - Good Times Sums it up. I found a fabulous quote today as I was walking around town and it really hit me... Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end. ---Unknown So there it is, and for me...it's not the end, so I'm not going to worry. Since I'm in a crunchy town - love and peace to all.
