The labels love to shoot themselves when it comes to fans just tryin to further promote their product.

yea... I know a lot of people living overseas can't get copies of their music, because iTunes isn't quite international. I wonder if MySpace is? If so, you'd think the labels would actually encourage band's to sell through MySpace. #weird#

Hey Everyone! Since I plan on being an active member of The Forum again I thought I would let you all know what I've been up to the last few months. At the end of April I checked myself into the Henry Ford Maple Grove Center for Alchohol & Benzodiazepine addiction. I got out May 5th & have been clean for just over 90 days. I'm a member of Alchoholics Anonymous because I can't stay clean long term by myself, I've tried many times and it just never works. I have a sponsor & a home group that I make coffee for. I visited my dad for a couple weeks up north (tip of the thumb in Michigan). I found some good A.A. meetings up there. I go to 2 meetings a day sometimes & have had alot of work to do,changing My thinking &...Here At The Yellow House..it never ends. Blind Melon has been such a big part of my life for about 13 yrs now as You may know. Whether I was kicking heroin, somas or alchohol, or when I was feeling fine, sober or not,they have always been with me & there for me always. No band has ever affected me like they do. Shannon is like an old friend I never met. Seeing the four shows w/ Travis was Magic. ...Oh What a Feelin'.., Those shows & meeting you Melons were the highlights of the decade for me. I need to go to The Vigil. I've never been but I need to be around Melons & celebrate Shannon's life like we do always,but Unified like I have never seen. I would love to see Nel again. She is great, so easy to talk to. I cherish the little talk we had in Toldeo before the show. The best thing for me now is not to be alone in my Melonhood any more. We don't have to,we have The Forum and it's Great! The past 4+ years have been really amazing hasn't it? Things we never thought we'd see have happened. I have a feeling that whatever the band decides, we're still gonna get some more music from them & hopefully a tour again one day. Patience on our part will pay off big in the long haul. Thanx for keeping The Forum going with such a positive vibe. I care about all of you & will be p.m.ing You guys like I have done in the past. I'm gonna go...Sit Out Back...and smoke a little. I still do that because I'm just not willing to stop right now. Maybe never. I've been doing it since I was about 10 years old. So that means I'm about 10 years old emotionally. Peace Melons,JeffLightUnity

I don't know about you being 10 yrs old emotionally or not, but according to some hindus, it allows them to speak to God and receive divine messages directly from him. Although it IS illegal in their country, they actually have a day set aside that allows everyone to smoke.... for religious purposes! Yeah, I saw this show last night, and just thought I'd share it with all melonheads!

Sorry I'm not able to get on so much... I've been pretty busy with work, Amber, Tracy and doing some upkeep around the house with Neil. Just thought I'd pop on, take a break from the craziness that appears to be my family Tracy and I had a little "scare" the other week and it got me thinking... first about how cool it would be to have a little boy and also how important Amber and Tracy are to me. ...I was both relieved and a little down that she wasn't pregnant, though definitely a good thing, it made us think about having more kids sometime. which I totally want ...in the distant future lol anyway, just thought I'd share that I've become a huge softy when it comes to that kinda stuff...

...Big Stretch,Not Much Sleep... This sobriety stuff is such a drag sometimes.Knowing that I have no control over how much I drink or what happens to me when I drink is not enough to keep me sober long term.For those of You who can drink safely,that's great,I just know that I can't.It isn't fun anymore to say the least. I need to grow along spiritual lines,through the 12 steps of A.A. & I'm only willing to do this because alcohol kicked my butt.It really had a hold of me.This way of thinking is new to me & it's scary sometimes.The only place I feel like I fit in is on this forum & at an A.A. meeting.I know most people don't care to hear all this but it is a random thread & I've always tried to let people get to know me a little bit here.So this is where I'm at.I've got plenty to do around here & it sucks.I will start off by listening to the Soup cd,then U.T.'s cinematic cd & then the Morning View cd by Incubus,which is already in the stereo. Melon Love to Y'all.

I hope that you get up on your feet and start feelin' life more without thinking about alcohol. Blind Melon heals ;D have a great day! #redlight_unity_02#

It's not so much thinking about drinking,the obsession to drink has been removed.Thank the gods for that cuz I couldn't live like that. It's just that I have to live putting my spiritual way of thinking into action in my everyday life & the fact that I have to do it or I'll die this time around.It's an easy decision but doing it,that's the real test.

Melon Love to Y'all. Hey man, I think everyone here cares about what you have to say. This is one place you can talk about whats on your mind. Also, I kinda understand where you're coming from. I don't really drink that much, but I had a heroin problem for eight years. Four of my friends have overdosed and died from using heroin. After that last funeral something changed. I just stopped using. I really didn't want to stop but I did. I was even high during the funeral. It's almost as if my friend has somehow been preventing me from doing heroin. It hasn't been easy staying sober. I used to take Methadone but switched to Suboxon a year ago. It helps but I still think about getting high a lot. Anyway, i understand the being sober thing and the boredom that comes along with it. Good luck with your sobriety.

Hey Thanx so much for that.I've heard good things about Suboxen & I see it helping a few people I know. This sure is a safe place for us Melons.We do care about each other here.I'm gonna do this & I believe it will get better,then worse,then better again...Everything'll Be O.K... ...Hell...Every Day Above Ground Is A Very Good Day...

Yea, Suboxon is pretty good. Its easier to function on Suboxon than Methadone. Methadone just made me sleep all the time. Though I didn't think about getting high as much when I took methadone. But if you need someone to talk to about this stuff I'll be around to listen. Just send me a PM or an email.

My new tattoo is about 5 days old and beginning to peel and itch. I love it, and think the guy did an incredible job on it.
