"so, after an attempted overdose early yesterday morning, i found myself awake in the emergency room around 8 - 12 hours later.

however, don't worry about me, i'm fine. i am being checked into a mental clinic beginning tomorrow at 8 am.

i'd like to apologize to everyone at Power Chord Academy, for me not being able to make it to speak to all of the kids tomorrow in Chicago. i promise to make it up, the best that i can and hopefully will be able to reschedule the entire event.

wish me luck, and let's hope that i learn from this, and that i am able get out very soon.
