Howdy,

Well my friends, it is time for me to go, and take the next step in my future. I joined the United States Marine Corps back in June and now it's time for me to make good on my commitment. I will miss my friends deeply becuase they mean the world to me and always will. They hold a place in the tenderest part of my heart and forever will so long as there may be a breath in my body. I thank you for all the support that I've gotten over the years, you all have helpe dme more than you will ever truely know. I know I said I will always be here for all of you, and I mean it I always shall be, but now it might just take a little longer for me to show up so you all had better be a lot more careful these days.

So many things I wish to say right here right now but alas I don't have the time nor do any of you wish to read such a long winded article. But for thsoe who read this I will say this: Jennah, You're my sunshine, my guiding light, you pick me up when I am feeling blue, and carry me through a dark night, for this I am forever in your debt my friend. I am so sorry for not being the best I could've been for you. Andrew: Man you worry me sometimes, best of luck to you and your future endevors, don't let theladies get you down there's tons of em out there and life goes on. May you finally find peace of mind somewhere along the way.

As I will be sending this link to a few other people... I will continue to give credit where it's due. Alex: My sweetest friend by far, you've given me so many things, but among those two stand out as the most important gifts I've ever received. You have given me hope, and something I can't quite put my finger on, I hesitate to say it but I think it is indeed love. You gave me hope on the back of a school bus when no one else would listen, and then you did and gave me a reason to go on and change my chosen paths. That's kinda how it started, you pulled me out of a self destructive pattern and it was that night that I swore that no matter what happens that I would always be there for you, my best friend. That's kinda where the 2nd gift stemmed from I do love you as if you were something more than a friend, family prehaps? Over the years we've grown so close and then kinda drifted after I moved, but thank you my friend. I shall always be here for you.

Ashley: You definitely keep me on my toes I'll give you that one you can be so sweet and kind, you're absolutely gorgeous and amazing. But I worry about you more than anyone I don't know the whole back story but with you I have but one regret, that we didn't become such close friends sooner than we are now. I wish the best for you and a long fufilling life.

Kristine: You're one of my closest friends now and I'll miss you so much. Best of luck, stay sweet, kind, honest, and well grounded individual. I'm sorry i don't have more to say but I must cut this short.

My friends I will miss all of you I have to get going now, thank you all for your help along the way it's been an interesting trip and I look forward to my return and our reunion. SO I shall leave here an adolescent and comeback a new man.

So for the last time.

Semper Fidelis

Cold.

It’s cold in here,
The chill makes me numb
But I welcome it,
It takes the edge off my pain.

Hell Froze over
My luck changed
The cold took away my pain,
Gave me a new love

But hell has a way of heating things up
The thaw came
My fiery temper flared
In this heated exchange
I came close
To crossing the line

Almost my friends
Almost started the beginning of the end
I’m glad it’s gotten cold in here.

Dark outside.

It’s dark outside
Even though its noon
The rain falls down
I look around

I dropped my map and it blew away
I take off my cap
Scratch my head
“Figures” I say, “should have stayed in bed”

I wish I could see the light
But this is my plight
I’ve lost my guiding light
Where’s sunshine.
It’s dark out side

Fallen

And here I sit
A shattered sole
Broken heart
Wings clipped

My heart will never fly
Never again shall I rise up above
Or walk upon the whole world
I’ll love her till the day I die

But she’s not in my arms tonight
Nothing I say will bring her back
She’s out painting the town
I’m here with my world upside down

No sweet salvation for me
No mercy for my poor heart
No rest for my weary eyes
And no warmth of some ones love

I will not be in some ones dreams tonight
That’s a place I’m no longer welcome
Some say I’m lucky to be alive
But I know I’ll never thrive

And here I sit
A shattered sole
Broken heart
Wings clipped

Just another angel
That fell from grace
With tears running down my face
Who will love this fallen angel?

Grace

I thought for once
That someone would be my saving grace
Mend my soul fix my wings
How I was wrong

I don’t know why I fought
So hard to win this race
But now all the other angels sing
A sad sad song

I hoped things would turn out different
But who am I to spite fate
I’ve been walking down the long
Lonely road

Just trying to survive now
I keep moving on destined to die alone
Battered bruised and broken
Bound by my code

I fell from grace once before
I got up in the arms of another
She put me out like a lit cigarette
And here I sit

So I ask again
I fell from grace
Just another angel
with tears on my face

Who will love this fallen angel?

Flight

I thought I could fly again
My heart seemed so strong
My companion so warm
Who’d have thought I’d fly into the storm

I took a beating getting here
I thought everything was calm
How was I to know I was in the eye
Of that terrible storm

I thought I had my guiding light
In that dark night
I was wrong and my companion gone
The turbulence too strong

Everything going wrong
The light gone out
My sweet sunshine
If I had her maybe it would be fine

Goodman

If the sun comes up tomorrow
And I’m not home
You’re alone
Be strong

Carry on
Carry on
I’m not gone
You’ll be alright

Tell your friends about me
Don’t ever forget me
I hope you’ll understand
I’m just tryin to be a good man

When the sun comes up tomorrow
I’ll not be at home
You’ll be alone
Be strong

Carry on
Carry on
I’ll never be gone
You’re alright and movin on

Tell your folks about me
Don’t ever forget me
Try to understand
I was just bein a good man.
