Howdy everyone! I'm still alive! Things are going well for me. I'll give an overview for those who haven't heard from me in awhile. I have a job as a shipping and receiving manager at a company called Mallard Tool. I'm dating a wonderful woman named Lesli. I met her at dork camp. No she is not a trogladyte. She is quite stunning. Yes, I still go to dork camp and I still like it. I am currently living at Steve's house with him, Angie and Lesli. It is awesome. I am very happy.

Ok done with that. I went to see Saves the Day tonight. Wow. Phenomenal. They played alot of songs. Alot of old songs. I really do have to thank you Diana for the offer. This is one of the best shows I've ever been too.

Its funny. This band was really there for me during some of the crappiest moments of my life. I'm going to do something very cliche and post some song lyrics on here. I'm not posting them because I'm sad. I'm not posting them because I miss the girls they relate to. I'm posting them because these songs are intense and I think very moving. They really helped me (or hurt me more who knows) through two of the saddest parts of my life. I want to share them because well, I'm happier then I've ever been right now. Its sorta great. It just goes to show that you can get through those shitty times that you think you can't.

The first song is Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off to Heaven by Saves the Day. This goes out to ol' Central Michigan. I wish the girl all the luck in the world. Seriously. They played this song tonight. Amazing.

There's a beautiful sky tonight and
If you were by my side then we could share it but you are gone.
So come at me with your moon and burn me in the stars
cause nothing matters anymore.

If I could only see you now for about an hour
maybe just a minute
just to ask
What has he got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?

I know blue eyes get boring but
I'll wear dark glasses all the time and
hey if you want me to,
I'll take a knife to my own bright eyes.

If I could only see you now for about an hour
maybe just a minute
just to ask
what has he got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?

Well, I'll give you a thousand reasons that tonight
you should grant me this one wish.
Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and
now you put me through hell.
You break me up.
I should hate you, but I can't replace you in my heart.
Why am I so pathetic?
I don't get it why you won't return my calls.
Can't you look at me once?
And please if you got a minute,
enjoy this lonely sky with me.
It'll swallow us whole if we only let it.

If I could only see you now for about an hour
maybe just a minute
just to ask
what has he got that I don't have?

Well, I'll give a thousand reasons
that tonight you should grant me this one wish.
Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and
now you put me through hell.
You break me up.
If this sky's going to eat us then I'd like to be digested
into a million pieces with you.
I'd love to be scattered to hell with you.
To hell with you.

This next one is circa 2003. What's super funny about this diddy is the fact that the girl that destroyed me, was the one that pointed out the fittingness of this song. I also wish this girl all the luck in the world. She and I have made nice and talk from time to time.

As I'm talking my words slip to the floor
and they crawl through your legs and slide under the back door
rendering me freakish and dazed.

Well here I am. I don't know how to say this.
The only thing I know is awkward silence.
Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out.

So I'll go walking in the streets until my heels bleed
and I'll sing out my song in case the birds wish to sing along.
And I'll dig a tunnel to the center of the universe.

Well here I am. I don't know how to say this.
The only thing I know is awkward silence.
Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out.

I'll make my way across the frozen sea, beyond the blank horizon,
Where i can forget "you and me" and get a decent night's sleep.

Well here I am. I don't know how to say this.
The only thing I know is awkward silence.
Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out.
Don't shut me out.

Ok, this entry is insanly long but I probably won't make another one for another 43 weeks so, its what you get.

My friends kick much ass.
