don't eclipse the moon.

❛ I did manage to set the hurt aside for a day because honestly… how could I not celebrate America’s big 250th birthday with fireworks, glizzys, and questionable decisions? Though I am absolutely paying the price for it today. Apparently I do not bounce back the way I used to. And please, you’re equally as in demand. Though I really should’ve looked at your tour stops and surprised you at one of the Austin shows. I already know those had to be an absolute blast — honestly, every stop you’ve had so far seems unreal. At this point, I’m starting to think coming to see you at one of your upcoming shows might be the only cure for this poor broken heart of mine. So tell me… which stop would you like to see my devilishly handsome face at? Name the place and I’ll make it happen. Because clearly I need to come hold that finger of yours and “hold that space” properly. And hey… I won’t give up if you don’t give up. ❜

i'm so glad the 250th gave me a little assist there. i'm worried that if it was the 249th that you'd have ditched the glizzys for a day in bed. i'm listening when it comes to those questionable decisions. care to share? i would have absolutely loved the surprise and i mean i know the rest aren't texas but i do have a lot of good stops left, just saying. not like i'd complain about a surprise in chicago or london or wherever. and since you're thinking it already, i think it only makes sense to be what happens. i'll even make sure to do something a little extra just to make sure that heart's fully healed by the end of the night. i appreciate you putting the ball in my court but i know traveling can be a lot sometimes so flipping it right back to you and saying wherever is easiest for you to get to is perfect for me. i'll rename the tour for one night only the 'holding space tour' just for you. you've got a deal.

You can put it on the official resume! Accomplishments: Delivered top-tier performances and mastered all professional growth. You definitely earned bragging rights for what you have done. I love that TV show analogy. You really put it spot on when production, performance, and the fans are all hitting the right notes, you've got absolute magic on your hands. Specially felt in my case it makes all the backstage work and long rehearsals completely worth it.

i appreciate you listing all the others but i'm still considering putting 'making you blush' right up on the top of the list of accomplishments. it might be my most impressive to date. it's not so different really. when all the elements are positive, there's really no better thing. i couldn't agree more. there's nothing like seeing your hard work pay off.

I think I just came up with the most impossible question to answer: Would you rather live in a world without music or a world without movies? @agrcndes

that really is a hard one but for me, it would be a world without movies. i don't think i could ever survive without music. plus that would still leave us with television, right? so better than nothing.

what does a simple bloke have to do to get his hands on a few tickets for your tour? i'm pretty sure some of my cousins would think i'm even more brilliant if i could take them along.

saying 'a simple bloke' like you aren't one of the most popular soccer players out there. i don't even follow much and still couldn't avoid seeing you pop up everywhere. certainly not complaining about that by the way, especially seeing how loved you are by fans. but as for the tickets, all you have to do is say when and how many and consider it done. i'll be in london next month if that helps sweeten the deal.

For real? I'm definitely taking you up on that, so brace yourself, Ari. I've only got 3 shows this month, so I'm gonna come to a couple of your NY shows.

please do and i'm more than ready. do our schedules hate each other again? cause if not, i'd so love to try to come to one of your shows. you're welcome at any of the new york ones. just say the word.

Aw you are going to make me blush Ari and I never blush. Good you should feel special. I hope you do have a good tour. But what makes a good tour if you dont mind me asking?

let me add getting you to blush to my big accomplishments of the year. i might even get bragging about it. i am so far, thank you. and don't mind at all. i guess it's like a tv show in a sense. you have the production, the show itself and the fan element and if all are positive, then you have yourself a good one.

would you be willing to be killed off? that's the main test on things.
