Well...howdy stranger!! Long time no blog :). I have been up to my ears in Rock n Roll as well as life in general. Dean Martin said it best when he said, 'Life's a Kick in the Head' cause believe you me at times it is. A roller coaster of decisions, speculations, memories, and mistakes. However, just when you think things are pretty dismal...bleak and gray...this ol' crazy game called life rears it's ever changing head and says, "How about a Phone call to mix the madness"....my phone call went as follows:
"Matt, this is *** from Jagermeister, and I'd like to offer Snake Skin Prison a spot on the Rockstar Energy Drink UPRoar Festival playing with Disturbed, Stone Sour, Avenged Sevenfold, and Hell Yeah."
So...sometimes life is a kick in the head...a kick in the ass...maybe a kick in the balls. And as a good friend told me this week, it's better than the alternative...and I respond, "what's that?" he said, "No kicks at all!"
I def like my Kicks now that I think about it.
So, regardless, the show must go on, and onward we go!!
ALBUM Release...
Man this is close..so close it spills out of my mouth when I've had too much Love Juice!! I can't wait to drop the dates and other info...
I picked up the Album itself, this week, our first 1000 copies and man did that feel good. After all the hard work, preparation, and determination that went into this. I can remember talking with my Ol' Man in WV, sippin High Life, watching the snow flakes (Last December) and he said, "Son...do you even have a plan??" I replied, 'Oh, I got a plan...not only do I have a plan, I have a good plan...the variable is are the cards going to fall in the manner that I need them..."
That plan is almost completed...it's close...but thus far, everything has fallen into place, and thanks to The Man Upstairs, SSP, family and friends....I can quote my Non-Mentor, Hannibal Lecter:
"I love it when a plan comes together"
I'll leave you with the words of my High School Football Coach, Donnie Football:
"When you play hard, you make your own luck...keep your eyes wide open and your ears peeled back, this is gonna be the biggest game of your life."
TAG...I'm in!
