Hello all Astra Heights fans, family, and friends. I just posted this on our Astra Heights myspace, but I know it's very necessary to post it here as well. This blog is just slightly more personal (even though this is still copy and pasted). Anyway, it is with great honor
that I come to you today with this news. Honor mixed with genuine
appreciation, love, and most of all, humility. My news is that I'm
leaving this band of brothers and honorary brother. I love Mark, James,
Bernard, and Timothy (who yep, you guessed it, Timbo's comin' back! Yay!).
My
brothers and I have been through a lot. It was with our two older
brothers, Phillip and Michael, that we first started Astra Heights
almost 7 full years ago. We've made a lot of sacrifices together, and
for all of them I am extremely grateful to have made it through. We've
met so, so many people: All wonderful, all different, and all mattered.
My life changed so much during the course of my time with the band, and
I hope you'll continue to support the boys as they continue rockin'
without me.
It wasn't an easy decision to leave, but it's just
something I feel will help me be able to thrive more in other areas of
this ol' life of mine. My plans right now are to go back to school (For
those of you who might be curious as to what my plans are). And I most
definitely hope you're doing what makes you happy as well. Does school
make me happy? Not sure yet. I'll let you know after the next couple of
months come to pass.
With all my love, support, appreciation, and love and support and appreciation!
Joshua Morales,
Drummer of Astra Heights (Jan 2001-Oct 2008)
That was pretty vain huh? lol. Laugh with me!
