I can no longer put this off. I think updating has to be one of those things that you have to do in life, but no one really wants to do it. I offered to pay Amber $1000 but she still refused. Geez, I will probably post this and everyone will be rolling in saying that they would have written it now, but it will already be finished. So I didn't have any burning questions to answer for you all. Natalie asked me to write her a story but I will either leave that for my next entry or I will just send it to her. I have been really MIA lately. Not in the mood to log on around here too much. I have been so busy with this tour and trying to just keep myself afloat in the real world that remembering to update and keep up around here is starting to get the better of me. I promise I will be better ASAP! I miss all of you. I also wanted to thank everyone who has been coming out to visit us while we are on tour. It is one thing to see our fans and feel the love from them, but when we have our friends and family come to visit, it just makes it that much more special. We appreciate each and everyone of you!
So since I am on the topic of tour, I am obviously going to have to talk about that for a bit. Glee Live 2011 is amazing. I think anyone who hasn't gone to see a live show should. Honestly some people ask me which I would prefer; to go on tour alone singing my own songs, or go on tour with Glee. Both are incredible and different for so many reasons. Of course I want to tour with my own band and play my own songs. See the people that are there to support me and are fans of my music. That whole tour though, can get to be really lonely. With Glee, I am with my family. I don't think any other band or group has as much fun as we all do. We are fortunate enough to all know and love each other a great deal. We literally are a huge happy family. Sure sometimes there are tiny arguments, but that is the same with every family. For 90% of the time we all get along great. Preforming on that stage every night, surrounded by our fans and the rest of the cast is an incredible feeling that I can't even do justice describing here. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard as I have while we are on tour together. Every night my face hurts from smiling and laughing so much. We have such a great time joking around, playing tricks on one another, etc. It is so great that we have Chord, Darren and Ashley around with us. It really makes us feel more complete. There were a lot of rumors going around the last couple of months that season two would be the last season for Cory and I. It was pretty touch and go and not sure where things were headed. I was really looking forward to this tour as a closing and if I got the opportunity to be part of season three then I would still take time to enjoy every single second of this tour. I know a lot of you would miss Puck and Finn on the show. For me personally, and not just because I am on the show but it would be strange to be without our characters. It would be odd to have any of us leave, but that really is a whole other update!
While I have been on the tour I have been doing some fun things in my spare time. We are completely jam packed with tour dates for the most part, so when I get the opportunity to go out and enjoy the Cities that we are visiting I take full advantage. In Chicago I even took a video of a Police Officer riding on my skateboard. One of the most random moments on our trip so far but I thought that was pretty cool. I take my skateboard with me everywhere I go. When we are filming I ride it around the lot, and it was featured in the NYC episode. It only makes sense for me to bring it on tour. Another amazing part of this tour is the infamous "GLEE DISC GOLF TOUR". We have been playing disc golf all over the States. We have made four stops on the disc golf tour and we are going to keep on going. We really do have too much fun.
I know this update is lame and that hardly any of you are going to read it but I tried. I will wow you all with my next update which will be right on time!

| Mother's Day |

There has been a lot going on lately. I have been thinking for a long time about what I wanted to say. Whether I wanted to talk about filming in New York, wrapping up season two, the tour, or even someone special that I have been getting the chance to get to know recently. Each of those things have a big importance in my life currently, but today, being Mother's Day, I would like to talk about the two most special women in my life. Those women are of course, My Mother, and my Grandma Bess.
My Grandma has always been there for me. She is one of the most special people that you will ever get the chance to meet. Growing up she was there for all the important moments in my life, whether it was a school recital, a game for a sports team I was on, birthdays, Christmas, and even just coming to take care of me if my parents had to work and I was home sick. She made everything special and unique. We would sit together and play cards, chinese checkers, read books, bake, and I would put on little shows for her. I would play the piano or the guitar and sing her little made up songs that only she would ever care to listen to and gave me a standing ovation everytime. She is my biggest fan, and always will be. No matter what my Grandma believed and still believes in me and knows that I am going to do well and go far. She never gave up, and I love her so much for all that she is and all that she has taught me and given to me. Currently she is living in a seniors home near my parents place in Texas. Everytime I go to visit I make sure I see her as often as I can. She is a huge Gleek, and watches the show with her friends every Tuesday night. When I come to visit half the time I am visiting with her, and the other half of the time she is taking me around to all of her friends so they can try to get me to tell them what's going to happen to all of their favorite characters. It is pretty funny. Anyway I am just very happy to be a grandson to this amazing woman and I am very thankful that she knows how much I love and appreciate her.
What can I say about my Mother? The fact is, there is way too much to say about her. This is the woman that gave me life, as she would say "I brought you into this World, and I can take you right back out!" She is tough, kind, loving and extremely supportive. My Mother is one of those people that I know I can count on for anything. Yes, obviously I am a guy and I like to play sports, and go fishing, and stuff like that with my Dad, but my Mom...I always have a soft spot for her. I know that if I am having a hard day that I can call her up and instantly she will make everything feel better. I feel like that could be true for many people in this world. Mom's have that gift of making us always feel safe and cared for. I can be a real guys guy, and I am most of the time. But people are sometimes shocked to know that I will watch a romantic comedy and that I could probably quote dirty dancing, just because I have watched that movie with my Mom so many times. One of our special things to do together was watch movies, help her in her garden, and do puzzles. We did all sorts of puzzles, whether they were jig saw puzzles or she wanted me to help her with her crossword puzzle. She always does the ones in the paper but her favorite these days are the crossword's in PEOPLE magazine. I swear she is waiting for the day when I am featured as a clue. She is very proud of me, but I tell her all the time that I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for her.
Alright alright, so now you all got a chance to see the "sappy, mushy, gushy" side to Mark Salling. I am putting that side back into hiding again! In all honesty though, I wouldn't be who I am without many people in my life, but these two women...they are just amazing! My love to you both!!
