one man's desert is another man's paradise...

i haven't blogged in so long, that it took me a minute to remember what the HTML code was to get this thing to look right.

anyhow, there are a few reasons for the break:

a.) i have a pretty full life when i'm in LA... blogging was a lot easier when i had shitloads of free time on a tour bus, i've realized.

second off: i acquired a cyberstalker at some point in my travels and it scared the crap out of me a few months ago when i received a message saying this person was in LA, outside my house. luckily, they had an old address and nothing ever came of it. no idea how they got the address... so needless to say, i haven't been super stoked on the idea of blogging. it's quite possible that they'll read this. and there ain't shit i can do about it. but, hopefully, it's all blown over now and we can all get on with our internet lives. time will tell, i guess.

and third off: i've received a lot of messages from POM fans in the past couple of months. some wishing me the best, others prying for info. honestly though, i have no interest in talking about that subject.  i only want people to read this blog because they are genuinely interested in my life, my art and my thoughts. not for any other reason. i figured i'd wait awhile and let that shit die.

so... that's all for now. this is just to test the waters. more to come... and if that's not enough, chew on this jibberish  for awhile. if you can get through that, get back to me. i've got more where that came from.

Thank you Christian. Wishing you the best wherever the next road takes you. I may have met you because of POM, but I learned early on that isn't what defined you as a person. You are a person who has always been gracious and kind to me every time we spoke. Your blog over the last year really has made me think and reminded me that above anything else, God has blessed us with our family, without them everything else is worthless. Your perspective is refreshing with a positive side even when life is troubled. The first time I met you, you asked, 'am I doing ok,' and I said yes, you are doing great. As I think about that day and the others that have come since then as we talked, I know I have been a fan of Christian Stone the man, not just the Christian in a band. And I still think you are great :) God bless.

I agree with Karen, I am YOUR fan, not Christian-the-POM-guitarist fan. wishing you all the best! smiles & good vibes from Europe :)

I'm glad the dry spell is finally over. Take care of yourself. And throw us a bone once in a while. :)

hey c-sto .... finally you're back on the blog!
I've missed it so.
bands come and go, friends are usually forever
I'm sorry that you have a stalker searched

it's damn reckless
all our private data
on the Internet
there are too many sick minds in the world
I hope you're safe
and your family also
I'm already sad that you no longer are in the pom, because we have some fantastic pictures

you get.

I look forward to more c-sto
and only c-sto
life is too short for drama
So nice to have you back, not a pom member, but as the coolest blogger on this earth
god bless you

Hey Christian, I think , no... I know you are talented and creative soul. I hope that you can spread your wings and share with the world your beautiful songs. Speak to us all with your music and video. GOOD LUCK!!!!! Remember there is no love like a childs love..there is serenity and sanctity in the unconditional love they give
