i am getting my hair cut by my girlfriend right now and i’m excited by it. I found out that my wisdom teeth were NOT (probably) infected, and that what has swollen my lymph nodes is instead MONO D= 

god please help this poor boy

no school for like 2 weeks, going to play lots of minecraft and guitar! Hoping to dub some bass for my ep demo’s and EVENTUALLY get drums down!!! 

Current EP tracklist:
1. OneStep
2. GreenLights
3. Peptalk
4. PitterOn   
BONUS TRACK(s):
1. JabberJaw
2. to be determined, i’d like to include some newer stuff but idk what yet…

I am so annoyed because mono doesn’t respond to antibiotics or really any medicine, it just goes thru your system. so i’m essentially LOCKED to my bed, couch, or floor i guess…. for like two weeks. + it’s hard to sing because the underside of my jaw, where my muscles contract as i sing, is so swollen and tender.

Sorry for so much complaining as of late, it’s always one thing after the other! I’m excited to see how everyone else is doing though, AND i’m excited to hopefully start documenting my processes for the EP/ALBUM this year!!!

I’ve heard back about tour in march a little more.. I’ve got STL booked (mar. 19th @cbgb with joe glass) and CHI formed a little (mar. 20th with ALGA, venue to be determined). heard back from two people about milwuakee contacts, got a list of bands and venues to sort through !!! 

I’ve gotta get places to sleep sorted thru. I’m quite nervous to sleep on a floor of a completely new stranger. my trip to peoria was quite bad for that exact reason. the sleeping arrangements were actually quite concerning and suspect. i want to be certain of what’s happening. though i know being on the road is all about new stuff, or whatever. 

Gotta figure out who’s coming with me. I think my girlfriend is going to be staying in town, so I might try and get my cousin to come up with me, since I wanna tour with him in the future anyways, and he’s in my band so he’ll probably come along in the summer anyways… Who knows!!! 

As always, if you have any thoughts, let me know!!! tips for being sick with mono, arranging demos, connections to chicago/milwaukee, etc. PLEASE send me something!!!!  goomanstl@gmail.com
