1. Going to work: Working on cars is nowhere nearly as much fun as playing guitars. I picked up my paint gun at work the other day and it felt so weird, because I hadn't done it in a while. It was like my hands should be doing something else — playing guitar.

2. The daily routine: Every day on tour you see something new, but since we’ve been back home for the last week all I see is the same depressing drive down Memorial Drive, and when you're away for a while you forget how depressing Memorial Drive looks. Even when you’re driving down the Jersey Turnpike at least it’s something new, and it's a pathway to something greater.
