Hello everybody! I'll jump right March through May of this year was a very dark time for me. I'm not going through any details, but some of you know why. It was pure hell for me. Unfortunately, when something like this happens in my life, I react.....drastically. To be metaphoric: Let's say my life is a 1 million piece jigsaw puzzle, I worked on through the years slowly but sure putting all the pieces in place that I could. Then let's say, Someone opens a window and lets a cold bitter Blizzard wind into the house and blows a great deal of the pieces into the floor. Now imagine me, instead of picking the pieces up, and salvaging what I can, I grab two big handfuls, and chunk them in the trash. Yeah, it's like that. Why I left the SaintKarla: SaintKarla had been my creative outlet, my musical freedom, my baby since 2005. Jonathan and I started SaintKarla together, and have poured a lot of blood, sweat, tears, time, emotion, money into it through the years. Some of the greatest and defining moments in my life were in SaintKarla. As mentioned earlier, ( when I was being overly metaphoric lol) I allowed depression, and what was going on in my home life to affect my performance, my involvement, and my love and passion for SaintKarla. Right when the band needed me the most. The timing was bad. There was a lot of anger and resentment because of that from the band. At the time, I honestly didn't care. We had a meeting a couple of weeks after the CD Release show. I was called out, and I shut down, and I quit. It was all over within seconds. I want to apologize publicly to my brothers in SK for everything. And I appreciate their understanding love during a very bad time in my life. And I'm glad I got the chance to make music with them. In conclusion and to bring it all back, I took my time away to reflect, to change things I didn't like about myself, to try new experiences, and meet new people, and to not only salvage, but make better the things that matter the most to me. I'm still working, but at least I can say I am happy again. Thanks for reading
