By the way-I finally checked out the Shins. I was impressed. Only one song, but I was inspired to buy the CD. I've taken a keen interest to Muse and to Iron & Wine as well. Moreso Iron & Wine. Man, that's cool stuff. I'm gonna go listen again.

Heres the thing. I think we both have very different views of the world. You see hope in many things where I only see dead-ends. I must say I separate myself froom the shitty linkin park "theres soomething more to life that I just dont get". I more-so believe that many people have false perceptions that great things can happen when only a small percent of people achieve greatness.

I would say I agree with that assessment, for the most part. I'm not talking about greatness, though. Only personal happiness or contentment, which is something I think you have the ability to achieve. I think it's closer to you allowing yourself to be consumed by doubts and shit that you don't really have a support system for over there. I think it's a simple case of you allowing your fears more access than they should have otherwise. I subjected the comment such because I thought it was applicable here.

I wouldn't accuse you of anything remotely close to 'linkin park' anything by the way.

I'm not trying to lessen your troubles, I'm just trying to say that maybe you focus on the dark cloud and not the blue sky behind it. If I'm pissing you off, please say so, and I'll stop. I'm just trying to see where you went, dude. Over winter break, it was the old Ike back. I know I wasn't around last weekend and we didn't really get to catch up, but I'm going to be around here this next weekend, then I'm gone. You've got my number and my LJ. This is how I express concern for a friend...by trying to help the way I know how.

Friend, there is not another person I could think of that I would rather be having this conversation with. We do have such familiar personalities (I think that is another reason why David and Teri mixed us up all the time), and we just have opposing viewpoints. It is conversations like this that will make me always remember yoou as a good friend. I agree that I think this is mostly brought on because of where I am. When I was home for a month, I was happy and content with life. Everything felt right. Everything here seems so hopeless for the most part that I forget that back home, when I am there longer than a day or two, I am happy(er?). But greeley to me has no blue sky, just a dark night of hopelessness and regret.
