Hope

I wish that I could go back and tell myself that it turns out ok.
That all of the pain would soon be replaced with smiles.
That all of the anger would be wiped away with laughter.
I'd like to tell myself that when it seemed hopeless, a helping hand was already on its way, that the skies weren't as dark as they appeared and the storm would only last so long before my world would right itself again.

I wish I may, I wish I might,
This lovely dance with you tonight.

Matt & I

The Mocha Moo is one of the best venues that Matt and I have played at. The sweet racing stripes on my sleeves help me play guitar real fast.

Wonder

Sometimes I wonder what Heaven is like, but more often I wonder what Hell is like, and I feel guilty for that.

I feel sorry for 98% of the people I know, and I'm not really sure why.

I wonder if anything I've ever done in life has subsequently led to someone's death.

When I meet an attractive girl, I purposely act like I don't like her.

I think music is the single greatest part of life.

I act like I don't care what people think, but my self-esteem hangs on their every word.

I'm scared to death to fly on an airplane, I get nervous just going to airports.

I trust my dog more than I'll ever trust any person.

I think that girls look better without make-up...seeing lipstick on a girls lips makes me sick to my stomach.

I think about the people who were in the top floors of the World Trade Center buildings when they fell on 9/11 almost every day.

I personify everything I own, I hate the taste of beer, I used to be popular.

Halloween and the greatest game ever

I've been saying it for years but this Halloween I will finally be handing out candy for the first time since I was 8 years old. Here is a pic of the pumpkin that I carved.



Musically, the songs are going well. Matt and I have yet to play in our fall tour, but it will be starting shortly.

I also included a link to the greatest game ever played at Qwest field. I was 6th row in the end zone and almost passed out twice after this play because I was jumping up and down and yelling with pure joy .......another thing that I haven't done since I was 8.

Greatest game ever....

Reminder

In the middle of the parking lot, in the middle of the pouring rain, that's when my maker reminded me of why I came here. And it's about time I got on with it.

p.s. Who knew Al was poetic?

-Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

--Albert Einstein
