August 30, 1981

Today we practiced and it was very creative and good Rock n' Roll. Today I found out that John [Guadamuz] had left for California. I don't know what to think. I wish it  were only a vacation, but I don't think so, I'll soon find out. [This was quite a shock to me, John didn't tell me that he was leaving, and frankly, it was quite frightening to be left alone in Germany. John and I had become quite close over that last year and a half, and he was my courage at times. John seemed not to worry about much, so I figured things would work out. Now I was left to myself to work out my issues. John returned to California with his girlfriend Ingrid, who he later married.]

  1. On one hand, John’s behavior really surprises me, and on the other it really doesn’t… If that makes sense? I always thought he was different with his friends… And you, you poor thing, being left in Germany alone ~ I don’t know what I would have done. Very touching entry.

  2. Well it was time for me to grow up. eventually, I ended up getting a job at the NCO club, moving out of the garage, and into my own apartment. It has been a slow process learning how to be responsible, I still have troubles with it.

  3. I really appreciate your openness and honesty, they're great traits to have. I guess in a strange way the situation did work out for you, even if it didn’t for the band… As for responsibility: I agree, learning it is a slow process ~ one of the reasons I have no children or a dog…
