My final word on 3 Cent Nickle

So friend and former band mate Heath Dobbler has posted his response to one of my previous blogs. I don't want this to become a continuous back and forth so I'll be brief here. I understand where he is coming from, and he's right. I personally didn't see things as all that bad, even though everything he said was true. I just took the good for the bad. And to me the good outweighed the bad. We had some really great songs and some really great times, and all that was worth it to me. I'm sorry to realize that it wasn't as worthwhile to everyone else as it was to me.

I think the problem with 3 Cent Nickle is that we took it a little too seriously. Even when I admittedly wasn't taking it as serious as everyone else, I still think I was taking it too seriously. Maybe if we didn't put so much weight on it, maybe if we just took it as a fun hobby that we were taking place in we all may have had more fun doing it. I guess I just didn't see everything as a loss, especially when I've been in other bands that went through more, and when I see other bands like 3 Chord Whore who have apparently gone through a lot more bullshit and member changes than we have and are still together and trying to make something of it.

But I can still put it behind me. I'm always the one to go the way the wind blows. So for me, the chapter on 3 Cent Nickle is closed. It was the good times and it was the bad, it was the best thing I ever had.
