blink-182 Appreciation Vol. TOUR DATES and CONCERT PICS! TEAM BLINK, WHERE YA'LL AT?

hello to you. it's been a long time since i've posted anything here on the himynameismark site. i haven't had it in me. these past two months havebeen the hardest times that i can remember, and i hope that we never see anything like this ever again. first losing our dear friend and longtime producerjerry finn, and then the plane crash that happened in september, taking our friends chris and che. even two months later, i still can't believe whathappened, and it's too much to talk about. but let me say that i think about little chris every single day, and the world is not the same without him. heis one of the best people i've ever known. we travelled the world together, spending countless hours on busses and planes, in hotel lobbies and dressingrooms. we worked together, laughed, and played jokes on people. when i saw him in the studio, no matter if it were with blink-182, +44, or an unknown band iwas producing, chris would walk right in, introduce himself, make some jokes, and make sure everyone was taken care of. he made everyone feel at home. likethey were family. every person he met was a friend for life, and he could talk to anyone. it didn't matter if it was the biggest star in the world orsomeone waiting to get into a show, little chris treated everyone as a friend. he was a dear friend to me. i'm so sad that he is not here right now. thereare just no words.

i'm also so thankful that travis and DJ AM made it out of the plane that horrible night. travis is a brother to me, and since the crash he has gone throughmore than i can even imagine. from the day after the plane went down, when i saw him in the burn unit out in georgia, to the hospital here in LA, to seeing himat home, his recovery is nothing short of amazing. every day gets a little better. and not only is he my brother, but also the best drummer and musiciani've ever seen. the man was born to play drums, and it is great to see him starting to get back into the studio and behind his kit.

as for me, i have been getting back to work as well. a couple of weeks ago i went into the studio with our lunar activities, to finish up their record. chrisholmes and i recorded three more of their songs, and they are in the final mixing stage right now. then last week i went out to new york city to introduce alltime low at the 2008 woodie awards for mtvu. the day i got back into town i went right into the studio with my friend richard gibbs, who scores films. he had arough idea of a song for the movie he is currently working on, and he wanted me to come in and collaborate with him on it. we spent five straight days in thestudio and came up with a really fun track for a movie called "fired up," that comes out next year. it's good to be singing again, and gettingback into it. now this week chris holmes and i are working on a theme song for a tv show. today it passed the first round of approvals, and now it goes up tothe big time producer people for their thoughts. hopefully it'll be seen on a television near you very soon. check local listings.

in the midst of everything else that has happened lately, tom, travis, and i have all spokentogether. first through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours. they've all been great, verypositive conversations. we're just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking. it's a good thing. obviously the first question for a lotof people will be "does this mean a blink-182 reunion?" the answer is none of us know. we haven't talked about it at all. right now it's justgood for the three of us to see one another, reconnect, and let the past be the past. the events of the past two months supersede everything that happenedbefore. life is too short.

Blink is my favorite band of all time, I've liked them since '98 ( I was in 6th or 7th grade or so) Angels and Airwaves is alright, I've seen themtwice live and met Tom and hung out and talked to him some. He's a pretty cool dude. I'm just glad that Mark, Tom, and Travis are all talking again...only took 4 years. Have you guys checked out "Start the Machine"? It's a documentary about the beginning of Angels and Airwaves and Tom talksabout Blink and how the break up happened.
 
Haha I've talked to him a lot and he does get off on that sometimes. He said something about there being a structure on the back of the moon and how thealiens are controlling all of us and they're going to take our souls and some other stuff. He has some "top secret" files from people that haveworked for the government and after reading them, the stuffs really crazy and scary. Tom's a cool dude, just a little out there sometimes and he's alot deeper than people probably know.

while I was watching blink videos before I stumbled upon the news I saw the clip...

 
One thing i'll give him credit for though...


When he does it, he does it completely by himself. He doesnt have anyone singing marks parts, nor playing drums. He knows what the deal is, that alone shows methat he still has respect for what once was...



....and what might become again
