Day 12 of tour. Stumbled upon some west coast American influence, as I had my Tupac shirt on. Had to snap a pic.

Just got the dreaded news from back home, on what’s slated to be the hardest day on tour, that my father has passed away.
Trying to process and accept it, and still get through this day of work without breaking down while working in a foreign country where I don’t speak the language. This is very hard. 😔

Day 10 of tour. Had 3 different hotels yesterday, in two different countries. Things are picking up speed. Today will be likely the worst, work-wise, of the entire tour. Looking forward to getting through it and getting to our next stop.

Day 7 of tour. It’s been hectic and I’m more than ready for a full nights sleep. It seems to always be just out of reach. The word from home is that my dad is no longer verbal, but is comfortable and his hospice situation is as good as it could be. Hard to compartmentalize what’s going on back home, while still performing 100% at work, and wanting to do group activities when off the clock, but I’m giving it everything I’ve got. I think I’m doing okay, and am not too much of a stick in the mud for others.
I will say I’m very sad and very tired, and I just keep trying to remind myself that that’s okay. It seems the acceptance is what frees me from it.
Anyway, here is a photo from where we are now. Any guesses?

Day 3.. Got some work in, then traveled and still fit in some fun and exploration at the end of the night. Tell me where I am from the photo!
Tomorrow will be my one and only free day, looking forward to some adventures.

I will have to keep my eyes open for them!
They are beautiful! 😍
What do they taste like? Any similarities to other fruits?
In the name of squeezing every moment I can out of this European tour, I got up early to watch the sun rise and see this beautiful urban garden. 🪻❤️

Day 1/2 of tour was pretty grueling. Lots of heavy lifting followed by air and road travel. Didn’t sleep for 25 hours, then got 1.5 hrs of sleep and got right back to it. We did choose to skip some sleep in order to see the city, exploring some and eating. Otherwise, what’s the point..right?

Today before I dip out on tour, I get the call that my dad is going to get moved to hospice care and things don’t look good. Nurse said I should get up there ASAP before I leave. So I left work, and went up and had what may be my final moments with him. I believe he knew it was me there with him and felt my love. ❤️
My brain is scattered and the timing could not have been worse, but it came with a life lesson reminder… life is going to give you some real hard trials and tribulations. Sometimes multiple at once. Your character is shown by how you handle and navigate them. I still haven’t drank. I still haven’t gotten cigarettes. I’m doing my best every day to put best foot forward.
I’ve not been a perfect caretaker, but I’ve done my absolute best and gave my all. I will continue to do the best I can for my people.
Love yall.

You are in the trickiest of places with that. Tread lightly!
I do my absolute best to back my way out of it, and generally just become a sounding board for my wife. I listen, and only give my thoughts when she explicitly asks for them.
Hope the peace comes to the situation soon!
My favorite rap album of 2025 by far. Whole record is fire. Production and sample choices are primo. Been listening from beginning to end since it dropped.
