    I needed that

    Everything that I will be writing here for the next long while will be very positive. I go in weird phases when I lose perspective and I whine a tad. Okay I complain a ton.
    I’m taking a break from being that way. I am here to write uplifting tales from the fatty under belly of the Tuna. The toro. The best of all sushi. I will be bringing you good thoughts and ideas straight from a love filled life view.
    My apologies for the counter. It’s never my intent to sound boring and whine-y. I just needed a bit of home life to set things straight.
    So. Here. We. Are.
    College football. The NFL. Giants baseball. Incredible autumn colors and the brisk cut of a cool fall wind to make you feel fresh again and shake off the dust. Halloween! Dressing up like Cookie Monster for my son’s first birthday. These are just of few things that I am thankful for.
    Seeing many of you during this time of year is lovely and refreshing as well. I love it. It reminds me most of our early days. Days lugging gear and burying our hands in our pockets while bullshitting outside of some dive bar in between sets. This is really Rocktober isn’t it? Sounds lame I guess but it really feels like rock and roll.
    I’m way in. My favorite time of year.
    Haven’t exercised at all. Getting soft and kind of digging it. Whatever. Pumpkin pie. Oh shit! Pumpkin pie ice cream at Baskin Robbins. Aaahhhh! Yes I will.
    So there ya have it.
    My announcement of positivity.
    I wanted to ask one thing though.
    I plan to start writing soon. What are your favorite things about Train music? Let me rephrase….
    What are your favorite feelings you get while listening to Train and what do you suppose creates those feelings? Did I make that clear? Probably not. Let me try again.
    When you listen to Train, what do you walk away with? What is that “thing” that brings you back to a song?
    Okay. Let me have it!
    Thanks.

    Love, Pat

      What do I take away from a Train song? Usually a smile and an urge to stand like Superman.
