i had almost forgotten how much i love playing music with my friends. after watching that, it's pretty much all i can think about. and as happy as i am to be doing everything i am right now, i really do miss it, and i can't wait to be surrounded by kids i love and doing it all again and again, as much and often as possible. there's still nothing that can make me feel quite the same, and little that could mean to me a fraction of what times like that do.

for now, though, i'm about thirteen hundred miles away from anything of the sort, and as strange as it feels from time to time, i couldn't imagine trading any of it. these past few days have held some of the biggest emotional extremes that i could imagine, but through all the fears and letdowns and sadness and confusion, every bit has been definately been worthwhile. even the times spent just lying in bed, or on buses and in cars or doing nothing more than following a friend in daily activities and trying to hide from the weather- it's all been really worthwhile to me, even if the activities themselves might seem mundane or lacklustre from time to time. it's all been really meaningful and it's all been really valueable, in so many different ways.
so thank you to allentown and long island and abc no rio for some of the most amazing shows i could possibly hope to be a part of, and the best form of therapy i could hope to have. shows that give me chills, and make me laugh and smile and scream and dance and so much more. to latterman, for making me feel so incredible everytime i hear them, and being some of the best friends i could possibly hope to have. for making me feel so at home and alive, and proud to be a kid. to against me, for making kids scream and dance and hug and smile, and pack into sweat soaked basements on cold nights to help eachother feel in love and alive. to delia and tom and todd and sal, and colleen and krista and katie and ian (and every other kid in long island for that matter!), for hospitality and friendship and inspiration, and just being the amazing people that they are. and to florida friends for all the same. to so much else. thanks again.
tonight, albany. tommorrow, rhode island. tuesday, long island. etc, etc, etc. i'm sorry to everyone that i haven't kept in touch with lately, it's definately not for the lack of caring, and i will try to write soon. feel free to write in the meantime though, and let me know how you are doing, because i really would like to know. goodbye for now...
