How I'm going to get everything done during my spring break that I want to get done...

The think the feeling of irrelevance and being second-rated comes from being self-conscious with yourself and not necessarily from others. Ultimately, I think it stems from jealousy and a need to feel wanted.
This being my way of looking at it, yes I have felt both irrelevant and second-rated in the past. Especially, with starting my own business, you are always jealous of the successes of others.
Also, anytime someone criticizes myself or my brand, I take it to heart since I work so hard to be the best person I can be.
I think a good way to avoid these feelings is to realize that you can never please everyone and you should only worry about doing your best, not being the best. -
I like a lot of different styles of music, but I definitely prefer pop rock.

"Honest is the best policy" is what I live by.

Not really. I wear a lot of "street" wear, from companies like The Hundreds. Other than that, I just like to wear what I like.

After working in the music industry for several years, since I was about 15, I wanted to try something new. I had already been through periods of time where I promoted local shows, booked local shows, posted for an online news website and worked for a music magazine, but all of those things had become very boring and limiting.
When I was a freshman in college at the University of Iowa, I came up with the idea behind Digital Tour Bus. Instead of waiting until after I graduated like many college students do, I decided to just go for it.
Since a website like DTB had not existed in the past, I knew that I could basically do whatever I wanted with the idea and there was no tangible limitations. Also, being internet based allowed me to still go to school full time (I'm actually finishing my degree this summer).
In essence, I wanted to start DTB for the love of the music! :) -
There are two things I don't talk about on the internet, religion and politics. I'm a Catholic, that's as much as I'm going to say. Also, I respect all religions because of their positive effects on people's lives.

I've been beyond busy lately, so i will do my best.

I'm assuming this means with a significant other. In that case, yes I do.

I know these aren't the type of answers you're looking to get, but I'm super stressed right now with a huge paper for one of my classes.
I've answer this question a bunch in interviews. I think this one I did with Music Skins is appropriate --> http://blog.musicskins.com/bts-digital-tour-bus/
I hope this answer will do. Sorry for being so impersonal. -
1. I don't follow many people on my personal Twitter since I like to keep up with a lot of my friends and buddies that I don't see often. I like to read a lot of the tweets in my timeline, so following more people would more than likely, overwhelm me. Digital Tour Bus does follow people back, so if you follow us, we will follow you! :)
2. Honestly, I don't party much since I am so busy with school and Digital Tour Bus. When I do get a chance to go out, I just like to keep it laid back and relax with some friends. Not big on going to clubs and bars, unless it's for a concert.
I hope my responses don't offend you in anyway. I like to keep a strict divide between my public and private lives, which is why I answered the questions the way I did.
