  Drive Your Car

  
  I just walked in the coffee shop in Springfield, Oh.  The lady behind the counter said she didn't see me walk in, I was sitting her checking my email, I thought she was going to bust me for not buying anything and using the internet for free so I walked up and ordered a coffee and she asked me how things were going and that she just voted a million times for me on CMT.  That was kind of funny.  
  
  I just rolled out of bed and I think I still have pillow marks on my face from where I slept all night, this coffee is good.  Yesterday was my birthday, I've heard 54 is a good year.  So we'll see what it has in store.  That's my new hit song, What 54 has in store.
  
  I've had a pretty chill birthday, played a little golf, hung out with my grandpa and grandma aka gom and gog.  Pet my dog for awhile, watched a movie, ate some Mexican and some cake and ice cream.  Deep thoughts and experiences, and journal entries by Griffin House.  I feel like Jack Handy.  I used to keep journals all the time and write poetry and try to get very philosophical and poetic, I think I know less now that I did back then.  More questions, less answers.
  
  With so much travel and playing shows, it's been hard to feel like there is much time for anything else.  I'd like to get some hobbies this summer.  Try some new stuff.  I walked out on my porch the other day and a line from one of my favorite artists popped in my head, "if you don't run you rust".  That's true.  I had to pay 1200 bucks to get my car fixed because my brakes and rotors rusted as it had been sitting at home doing nothing while I was touring and recording.  You have to drive your car, literally and metaphorically.  That's advice from a good ol' borderline white trash dude from Ohio.  Maybe that could be my motto.
  
  You gotta drive your car.
