Screw your dremas, play it safe!

Ok
    My name is Jeremy London (not like that coke head actor) and this blog/book is mostly about my life, and mostly about about what didn't happen. I am not going to bore you to death with my childhood. It was like everyone else's grew up poor, still poor, I'm sure you can relate. Anyway I'm going to start when my band got signed to a recording contract to a major label. Not going to name drop b/c some things need to be left too the imagination. So in 2005 my band played a support slot for the METAL!!!!band Fear Factory. Also on the show was a band we had just become aware of called Trivium. Now after hanging out with fear factory for about 20 minutes and realizing the were all flaming bags of dog turds we decided to go and talk to the Triv guys (except Dino that guy is super nice). We were pretty shy, and awkward, never met "famous" people before so we started shooting the shit with Trivium. They were really cool, we were pretty close to the same age which was nice, and they had just signed a deal with ROADRUNNER records. We asked them to watch us and let us know what they thought. Well they did! After we played their singer matt started saying he wanted our demo to shop to roadrunner, we said COOL(who wouldn't).

Ok
    So in 2005 I graduated from college. Yeah it took 5 years because I spent way to much time inside a bar/females (Don't judge) to actually study. So with my new degree in Journalism I set off to get my rich on. Given I was still living with mom and dad in the suburbs of Asheville, and actually not doing anything to provide for myself. My first interview was with Seventeen magazine, I was particularly excited about this phone interview because I was sick of seeing all of those 100 things a guy is thinking about when he dumps your fat ugly ass articles. They are so blatantly written by women that it is irritating, a women has about as much insight into a guys mind as a man does to what its like to bleed for seven days a month. Needless to say I nailed my interview, I mean really, look at me. So the HR manager scheduled a flight for me too come for a face to face.
