my new favorite body pillow

man have i gotten out of the habit of updating this thing. I bet all you poor souls are just desperate to know what’s been going on in my life. well, i’ll try and fill you in a little bit.

for starters, i’m eating cream of potato soup...it’s not that good, but i made it and i’ll eat it.

it’s week 7 already in our 10 week terms here at augie and surprisingly, i’m not too swamped. i know i have a large analytical paper in my poetry class due sometime in the next few weeks, but he has yet to actually assign it. he (jason peters) has merely mentioned it a few times with no real specifications of what needs to be done. all i really know is that i need about 6 pages of interpretation on some poem. I think i’m going to do a sonnet, maybe by Shakespeare, or if i can find one by emily dickinson, then her.

i’m sure everyone is wondering about the love life. let’s just say things are going very well. other than that, talk to me if you really want to know

Davenport is on the rise, we had our first big show not to long ago, and have a website and a press packet complete with demo disc soon to be about, so expect to be hearing more from us. i don’t know if any of the guys from sugar tiger read this, but i’ll be honest, i’m really not feelin it with them anymore. since we lost AJ, something’s been missing (other than just AJ) and i just don’t know if i want to continue with them. either way, they’re holding my drums hostage right now and i’ll need those back eventually.

um, school has been pretty rough. my classes are difficult (some because the teacher is evil and assigns waaaay too much homework, and some just because the material is intense) but regardless, i’ve been pretty bogged down with homework these last few weeks. time to register for spring term classes a week from today, i need to talk to my advisor and find out what i still need to get in there. i’m hoping i can get a light load, possibly including archery, that would rock.

i guess that’s about all i’ve got in me for now. i think i’ll try and stay ontop of this a bit more, it’s nice to spread my thoughts out, and i know you all enjoy it too. later.

meet the decline

sunday morning i woke up and put on my old NOFX t-shirt. really, it’s old. i think i bought it sophomore year. that shirt is over 5 years old! wow. but anyway, i decided it only right to listen to the old boys on my way to band practice. Pump Up The Valuum is a really good album. caaaatchy. and then on the way back from band practice, a little So Long And Thanks For All The Shoes. also really good. and then later the Decline. and i’ve been listening to the Decline a bunch now.

for those of you who don’t know, The Decline isn’t an album...well it is....but it’s one song. One 18 minute long song. chickity check it: http://plyrics.com/lyrics/nofx/thedecline.html

sorry it’s been so long since i’ve written in this thing. I’m not sure if i didn’t need to write, or if i just wasn’t in the mood. it certainly isn’t that i haven’t been at the computer long enough... heavens no.

stayed up till 4:30 last night just chattin with the room mates, it was awesome. good thing we humans can communicate effectively. to have all these feelings and emotions and not be able to express them would be hell. so thanks for that evolution ;)

i guess that’s about all i got for now. oh, and Davenport’s show was a huge success, thanks to everyone who came out to see us, really appreciate the support. hopefully there will be more shows all over illinois soon. we have the whole state covered....well, Quad Cities, Bloomington Normal, Champain Urbana, and Cary...yea, cary.

sometimes, you end up finding people that fit the mold perfectly.

that being said, most of the time you don't. It's not that i want what i can't have, or that i don't want what i can. it's more that i don't know what i want. and yet, i'm pretty content with the way things are right now. when it's been a long time since a serious romantic reliationship, you start to get lonely...at least i do. but i've found that it was loneliness that didn't require a romance to fill. friendships can do the trick if you find the right people. really, all it is, is just finding people who compliment you well. i've found a solid, small, and perfectly complimenting set of people. and it's quite nice.

i re-chipped my tooth today. bit down on a highlighter to remove the cap and POP, off comes the little thing they filled it in with last time. damn.

i also had an amazingly rocking band practice today. we wrote a viking cool song. starting all in 6/8, and then the two guitars start to wail in this wicked cool metal riff all harmonized perfectly in 4/4, but i'm still playing in 6/8 and we mesh beautifully, and there is a killer metal breakdown in the middle. yea, it's hardcore.

hey, guess what! i got a new tattoo. i'll get a pic of it up here shortly. for now, picture me naked.

heh, bet you thought it was gonna be kinda deep.
