Met up with dave at my casa around 2.30 and i started packing for tomorrow. Then we went and had to go to the doctors office- which they tricked me and i had to get a physical- mernt. Then i got my shots. The taken blood part sucked. My arms aren't too sore today. Oh dave bought me suckers and gave em to me when we got there - how sweet- but me being add left them in the car so i'll get em today and i'll have something to snack on while i'm in maine and boston.
We then went and got a sigur-ros album- (), it's so good. went to my house chilled , delt with the mae people. and listened to sigur-ros- jsut amazing. Then we went to church -for the praise music portion and then went ot soulshine ate dinner and waited on trent and kristen to show up. The finally did and we chatted for a long while- so good to see them again. we were unable to take up money for the show cuase the guy advertised it as being free- so we all left there poor.
Trent rocked my face off- he did such a good show last night- you all missed out.

I'm getting off work early today - woohoo.
I leave tomorrow around 6 a.m.

i'll miss you all and see you again in august. don't worry i'll be updating this thing from the north.

I love you all.

Well Kyles, dog abby ran away yesterday. The boys left her outside all last night and when i went over to check on her after work- she was gone. Dave came over and we searched everywhere for 3 hours. I'm bout to start calling the vets and animal shelters again. I feel like a horrible friend. Everyone says it's not my fault and i know that but i stil feel responsible. The boys all appologized last night-i hope they go looking for her while i'm at work today.
Things are calming down, all the shows are set and in stone so i can relax. i still have a few places to e-mail cause i'm trying to fill holes in the tour of one of the bands- adelline.
We ate at outback steak house last night- yummy food. our waitress was one of my friends from belhaven- fun times.
Maggy and kari are amazing- they called yesterday concerned and went out looking for abby as well- good pals.
I hope abby shows up today.
Dave's taken me to get my shots today mernt- he's just gonna laugh at me the whole time.
We're going to soulshine tonight to listen to music cuase i gotta work for trent dabbs. 10% cut- should be wonderful. Hope it's a good turn out.
i've gotta pack some this afternoon as well, at least get stuff out and such.

I hope the rain holds off today.
I gotta go back to work ,and start making phone calls.
God Bless .

Battle of the century.

Well this weekend was awesome.
Friday night we went to see How to deal...what a crazy movie.
the whole movie jesse drooled over mandy...he was hilarious. at this one point in the movie b yelled out chess pains...he's a gonner- it was hilarious- you have to see the movie to understand it but man it was great.

Sat i went over to kyles and lexie came over and we cleaned and i battled with the dog...trying ot get it to go outside but i have a system now that doesn't fail. we finally have an understanding between us. Then stef came over andwe all went out to eat at o'charlies and then we went to the mall and stef got pink cons and pink laces and pink socks. i got a shirt from hollister. mernt. then we went back to kyles chilled and then went and got smoothies and went to borders. i ran inot ellis there and we actually talked and we are gonna hang out and catch up and stuff. i'll try and give him a call today and see when he's free. it was really great to get ot see him and talk to him, we use to be best firends and it 's really sad that we don't talk anymore but hopefully we'll hang out more before i leave for school in sept. after all that we went back to kyles and just chilled the rest of the night and listened to the how to deal soundtrack- yeah we got it and we like it. stef and i that is. hehe it rocks.

Sunday i went to church at riverwood and afterwards dave and i went to eat at nagoya. it was so good. dave gave my parents the left over sushi- how sweet- what's realy cool is the left over sushi was / is my parents fav. kind to eat.

Afterward we went to eat with stef and becca at margarita's.

So all in all it was a pretty awesome weekend. Helen comes home wed. so i'll get to see her before i leave friday.

Don't sell your heart and break just anyone
I want to run with you through moorland fields
Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is



Yus i just can't seem to get enough pete yorn.
Last night we had movie marathon (dave and i that is) we watched wild zero, the pianist, and spinal tap.
the pianist was just wow, amazing- he's such a great actor and it was really riviting in all it's forms-it was sad at all the same time-it just kills me i don't understand how people could treat other living human beings just as themselves like that- it's just horrible but the movie did a wonderful portrayl of what it was like and really did a good job of playing it out. i was amazed, saddened, moved, and impressed all at the same time.wild zero and spinal tap were just hilarious. i don't even need to explain those 2.
we also shot fire works at 2 in the morning or 1. that was disasterous. they were from last year btw- but they worked fine- dave thru one in the water thinking it was done and it ended up shooting back at us....yeah we don't mix well with fireworks- as you can see from past experiences, i.e. fourth of july.
It was so much fun. I got in about 4. and i went into work around 9. i'm not too tired.
Last night just rocked my face off- we had so much fun.

I got complete confirmation on norma jean for the 5th - and i'm going to stay the 5th and fly out instead on the 6th.
we're moving the dieradiodie show to doc 36 but it will still be a bunch of fun.

I have so much work to do at work- mernt.
I hope dave calls this afternoon, that would really rock. i really wanna go back out to the lake- it was just so much fun.

I got awesome good coffee this morning, and the stoplight right before i get to work didn't work- it was mass confusion on hwy 80.

Well back to work.

She seemed so sad with her heart all concave....There she stood holding her heart, all concave.Cortez Cortez and his beautiful bride, Don't be sad in the ancient world . She loved him. I loved him.

So yesterday (just thinking i should share this) on our way back from lunch aaron and i saw this truck at a stoplight....and it had hydrolics....and the guy was white . it was amazing. i didn't think we had those kind of cars in mississppi....woulda thought. that was my first time to see that in real life....i was amazed.

I got overloaded yesterday at work- i was bombarded with e-mails and agents . Everyone trying to grab dates and me just in a mess trying to finish the website and talk to agents and negotiate at the same time.

Furthermore wants to come in august
Mae wants to come i just gotta finish the paper work.
Mewithoutyou is coming in Sept it looks like.
Norma Jeans negotiation is about done.
Bands down here are scrambleing to get on these dates.
I'm trying to make sure the venues are reserved.
It's just crazy.

As cities burn and Rivers! are almost on every show i've booked- i should become their agent cause i mean really i just keep getting them really good shows.

My heads a mess this morning...stef's being overprotective and worrysome about me. She wans to make sure i don't get hurt....and i have a good time at northeastern-that it doesn't get ruined. I htink she's also afraid she's going to loose me. Which she isn't...i appreciate her concern-but i wish she hadn't said anything, hoping dave hasn't thought anymore about what she said- i hope he's feeling better about it and he hasn't let what she said get to him. I'm going to check on that tonight.

We're going to have a movie marathon tonight---i think i should bring guitar wolf for us to watch it will be hilarious.

I hope all runs smoothly today and i can finish ironing out the details. I'm really glad i've been able to book all these shows- i'm amazed at the response i've gotten- it's just been amazing- more than i could have ever hoped for.
oh yeah and i got free coffee this morning at seattle drip... you think i could have gotten my own order right...nope i ordered the wrong thing- didn't get what i really wanted but hey it's still really good i like it alot but i wish i could have had my coffee toffee.

After we hung at kyles for a while , we left and drove around and went to the res. then home. it was pretty cool, we had awesome talks of course. It was really awesome.

Well it looks like i will be booking shows for jackson while i'm away.....so i'm gonna need help and have people help represent me while i'm gone and help run it.
I just got an e-mail from Tara Ruttle - norma jeans agent and well we're in the process of booking a show and it might end up being the day i leave and with all the other bands i wrote i might have to schedule their shows while i'm gone too. Maybe i can fly up on the 6th and see norma jean on the 5th the night before......that would rock. I hope i'm here for the show. But don't worry i wasn't biased..i told her we'd take whatever date we could get.
I think aaron is going to help make flyers for the august 6th show and 13th.
Hopefully the two bands i'm waiting to hear back from will e-mail me soon.

But if you would like to help out with these shows let me know. I need prople to help promote the 6th and the 13th like crazy.

Waiting on Kyle for the confirmation on the venue.
I have semi alot of stuff to do before next friday, i have to pack , moving stuff and stuff for vacation, send in my doctors report and hopefully i won't have to get any shots...but i prolly will have to. mernt.
Last night stef and i went to mall in search of her hoodie and well we didn't have any luck, then we just drove around and went to borders...pretty uneventfull night.

Monday, July 14, 2003

A greatful heart i give, a thankful prayer i pray ,a wild dance i dance before you , a loud song i sing a huge bell i ring , a life of praise i live before you.

Wow...so this weekend was amazing.Thursday was so much fun, just amazing, and i had a really good bonding time with Pascal- i need to keep in touch with him and check up on him, i dunno why God chose me for him to go to for advice but i'm glad he did. I hope i can continue to help him
Firday- Dave and I left aroudn 10.30 or 11 for New Orleans and had an amazing time, we stayed there till midnight. We got soaked by rain and six flags closed but we still had an awesome time and had great God talks. I really have the most amazing God talks with Dave it's just wow. That trip was really one of the most fun times i've had in New Orleans it was just great. Also Dave is one of the nicest people. He always makes a point to be so kind and caring. Saying hello to just about anyone and striking up conversations with just about anyone, it's just amazing. It's been so great to get to know him and i'm so glad God brought him into my life. I feel very blessed.
Sat. was Zack's birthday so i went and spent time with him and fed him cake and ice cream which was disasterous- we both made such a mess. Also before that my mom and i went out and had a mother daughter bonding moment and got our nails done- woohoo.
I got to see mawmaw and she wants me to come visit her before i go off to school- maybe i can go down in between shows on the weekend.
Sunday was awesome as well- church was amazing- the pastor at riverwood reminds me of dr. pollard form fbc- which is no longer there- ever since he left i've been looking for a good pastor- and i think i finally found him. It was jsut great. Really made you think and just wow. Stef and i went to hear suzanna talk at CUMC and she did a really good job and then we went to watch the rayville video and dave came over to hang out but stef had to go in early so dave and i went to get coffee and we just chatted and more awesome God talks...goodness.

Also.....DIE RADIO DIE contacted me this morning....they are coming to jackson on August 13th....i'm so excited.
wow...i just can't believe it.
The starflyer 59 show is this friday and i really wanna go....mernt.

I have lil under 2 weeks left till i go to bar harbor and boston for 10 days..i prolly should start packing....this morning i was listening to my praise cd....having an awesome praise time before work, and i just got really excited about boston cause i can't wait to see what God is going to do. I've been so blessed.

It's really great how God has worked in my life so much and this year has been amazing....I got into this great school in Boston- i get to do waht i've been wanting to do for so long...and i'm not too scared...i have full faith everything is going to be fine...i don't feel this urge to stay like i did last year. i dont' have a panic...and if there is any type of panic it's because i have so much to do before i leave. This next month is going to be amazing. i think that's gonna be all for today.

HALO:

she can take me to the place I love
sometimes it's a hard place to find
even when the heart is hardened
I see something in her eyes
kick and screaming on the outside
something hidden within
I think she knows about it
cause when she holds me close
I hear her soul

hell no
I don't mind if your halo don't glow like it used to glow
I don't care if you change your mind every tempting road

she's always reaching out for heaven
says it's a hard place to find
I swear and say its everywhere
freed is the taker's line
slip into the darkest color
nothing but a stain to show
I think we both know we know about it
cause when she holds me close I hear her soul

hell no
I don't mind if your halo don't glow like it used to glow
I don't care if you change your mind with every tempting road

I'll be on your side with something here
to let you know
I don't care if your halo don't glow

sorry the comment thing is messing up today....even though it's hardly ever used, still sorry.
1 .25 hr left till i'm outta hear.
one great thing about having a friend who works with you, if they work part time and you are semi full time , they can leave and get you lunch! how awesome is that , i get to eat wendy's today.

today rocks my socks off.

And Amy if you got my e-mail and are now viewing my fabulous site...WHAT UP! Hows working at the good ole SOS, oh yeah you can comment on here too, you should go back in my archives and read about your class and my comments - it's hilarious.

HAVE AN AWESOME DAY, YOU ROCK.
mernt so yesterday after work i went to the mall, lexi met up with me cause i was having problems finding the jeans i wanted to get. We got jeans, bandana's , and hoodies- i got a new one cause the old one's well broken. Afterwards i chilled at home and did my nails. Lexi came and picked me up and we went to church. It was really awesome. Dave's mom spoke to us. She's really amazing. I love my mom and all but i sometimes wish i had a strong christian mother to talk to. She talked about how she was saved, and not believing the lies of satan but believing the truth of the word of God. The truth sets you free, the lies lead to bondage. She talked bout how satan has slowly wokred at our minds and the american public to makes us think things are okie or right, that when you look at the word of God - they aren't . She did really good. After church lexi and i hardcore danced for a lil bit then we went and passed out and hung up flyers for tonights show. Then stef finally got off work and we met at my house and danced in the yard till we got to hot and lost our breath from laughing so much.
Dave called last night, we talked a good bit. His friend Keith isn't going to be able to go so it's just going to be us on friday which should be awesome. We have coupons for six flags which rocks. We're leaving around 8, i'm going to be so dead tired tomorrow cause i'm dead tired today sorta but tonight man oh man am i gonna be tired.I'm oh so excited. We might go around the quarter and take pics too...his idea- it shuld be really fun, i'm gonan pick up an extra roll of film today while i'm at the store. I told him what we were doing tonight and of course he thinks it's awsome. It'll be really funny. Not only do i have to ninja dance but i've gotta take pics and do merch. fun fun . tonight will rock. I hope suzanna and bethany still do it with us cause that will make it even better if there's 5 of us going crazy. Some people will get mad but that's just obsurd and they don't need to take everything so seriously.
i showed my parents my outfit this morning. my mom really likes the jeans and thinks the jacket makes it. they do think i look ridiculous with the bandana but i mean that's the whole point.

Oh yeah... i got int touch with starflyer 59 yesterday....the show here in jacktown has been cancled and is now in memphis. I was really pleased they got back in touch with me so soon though. Well maybe somehow i'll make it up to memphis next friday...we'll see.

We get to see all our LA friends tonight... this is so going to rock.

Currently Playing- Anberlin.
Current Mood- Excited.

I hope helen made it safely to germany- i haven't heard from her yet.

Wednesday, July 09, 2003

just remebered that my mom still has my lovedrug cd in her car...she is not getting away with keeping that sucker.
does anyone know when the new cd comes out...it's amazing, and i definatly want my own copy.
you have no idea how close i am to hardcore dancing in my office right now.....
i'm sitting here at work and for the first time i have nothing to work on , i'm caught up for the time being- i'm so close to just leaving. i think i'll just stay till 2.30 , cause this is just ridiculous.

i'm ready to go shopping for tomorrow night agian.

MERNT
i've been so antsy lately i'm so ready for tonight , and i'm so ready for it to be tomorrow cause if it's tomorrow then that means two days of pure fun in a row.
mernt.
i'm going to go pick up my care bear bandana after i get off a work.
4 needs to hurry up, i'm bored and at work and i can't leave cause i gotta make up for all the time i've taken off.

stef said she made up new moves for tomorrow night , last night , she was practicing till bout 1.
this is going to be so hilarious.

okie yeah forgot this so stef got the great idea that we need clay to help us cause he's the only person that can hold her up or pick her up so i called him , well of course no answer- he calls me back later and he's agreed to help us out...so yeah. i'm not really sure how all this is going to work but it will- stefs really excited he's helping us- i think she already planned out some moves - like jumping off his back or something- this spells out DISASTEROUS. he'll prolly just laugh at us the whole time.

i gotta go get some sunscreen for friday. knowing me if i don't put on some before we leave when we got down there i'm gonna burn.

my black hoodie has a bit of a problem it zips up but the the dragging part of the zipper fell off so it's harder to zip it anyways i'm wondering, could this be trouble. maybe i can duct tape the top to stay.
hmm kyle told me yesterday bout some jeans at dillards or jcpennys that where only 7 dollars. the relevence of this is that they the dark kind of pair that the baton rouge ninja girls wear........i might have to check this out while i'm at the mall before church today.
INDUSTRIAL NOISE BAND....ARE YOU READY FOR A REVOLUTION

so yesterday after lunch i went over to baskin's to visit and eat some layer cake ....which was amazing- it's prolly all gone now cause b is a beast when it comes to food...expecially cake or ice cream. Well while i was there we started chatting about the INB....he asked if i had heard any of it, i replied that i had but it was very static laced (off of the web), so b then turns around and walks out the door and goes into the band room i guess you could call it or the room where they have the lan parties, anyways we go in there and he sits down and the mixxer and lets me have a full taste of what the INB really is....and let me say the public will eat this up.......your face will be completely rocked off. I definatly want to book them a show.......I sat there just amazed by what i was hearing....and laughing at just about every lyric.
INB was born out of boredum and well now it has manifested itself.
with such great lyrics and riffs that just seem to stay in your head.
"All ages low wages ...all asians meat wagon." -Palmer where have you gone?
These boys are sure to be around for a few years....
IND can be said to be a mix between ABC's 1 Saturday Morning ( Cartoons ) and the Dead Milk Men. -With fluffy keyboards...twinkleing guitar riffs and stellar vocals laced with laughter.
Baskin and I had a converstation about INB and the Your MAMA crew. I talked about how they should do a show together and i thought they might even could out do your mama- they might have met their match this time. Baskin said they did want to do a show, and i know those your mama boys are itching to do one last show. Show of the Century.......We'll just have to wait and see exactly what happens and if this all get out all get down show will actually go down.

Later that day stef came and got me and i went and hung out with Matt before meeting back up with her and kari ....matt and i chatted bout different things playing catch up....i miss my "older brother" , he's been a great pal. i still havent' given him his graduation present. After we got coffee at Seattle Drip we met back up with stef and kari. and when that happened it was disaterous.....stef and i got the great idea of doing hardcore dancing -ninja style on thursday...and well it just kept going, we''ve recruited lexie, karie, bethany, and suzanna, and a male to maybe help us out . We're suppose to meet at my house tonight and practice. Stef, Kari , and I after dropping off matt and hanging out with everyone else at marble slab we went to Walmart to buy accessories for thursday night. We purchesed 2 water guns ....that have laser site beams.wow just wow. one girl got aviators to go with mine- and then a whistle was purchased. I'm not really sure how this is going to work but it will be pure chaos and everyone should be scared.....very scared.
We'll be decked out ....dressed in black with our hanies , water guns, sunglasses.
I really don't think anyone will be ready for this.......
I know many people don't read this site , actually i believe quiet a few read the site i'm just not sure who all reads it , anyways that doesn't matter what matters is if you wanna join the ninja crew for thursday night or at least are interested in seeing the pure chaos tonight give me a ring on the ole cell at 918-4665.......
You really have no idea.

well i'm sitting here at home , and for some reason the blogging thing looks and comes up different at home- go figure. anyways.
lunch was awesome , good times just chatting over random things with aaron. i'm so glad he's working at deq with me, truely a blessing. like i said a while ago it's nice to have a friendly face there again.
i only worked two hours today...i'll make up for it tomorrow and thursday.
I'm so pumped about thursday and friday.
thursday- go to see plastic glasses and as cities burn, plus bellador, and someday carolina, then afterwards i also get to hang out with them , go to ihop- just really awesome times i can't wait.
friday- go to new orleans for the day- ride crazy rides at six flags and then go listen to awesome jazz music and maybe eat benyay's (yeah i spelled it wrong - i forgot how to spell it so i just spelled it the way it sounds- i'm such a goober and failure at the same time)

oh yeah yesterday went to lunch with mom AND dad- good times , we ate at hop's- really really good food and a nice atmosphere there too.
Sitting on the dock of the bay...wasting time.

well we made it to rayville and had a blast. 8 or 9 bands played which was very overwhelming. We had a lot of laughes on the way down and back. We got lost in rayville which you would think is impossible- we passed the solid rock cafe about 5 million times. the place had no air conditioning and the coke machines worked whenever they felt like working...it was very interesting. we say the ninja girls in action- amazing.
my phone had been going in and out of service while we were down there and with fat talking on it my battery started going low but before it died i got one message from matt. i hadn't heard from hiim in a few days , we were suppose to chill on sat but i didn't remeber till around 5 or something or 7 when i called him, i left a message and hadn't heard from him till last night.
"Emmi hey, Shelia's dead....she died in a car wreck today. call me when you get this , i get off at 3.30 "
i called him back. This girl that we chilled with a few times , and had a huge crush on him , this was shelia. WE joked about her , and last time she called us was at matt's senior party, she wanted to go see another movie , and i don't think we called her back. we're jerks.
She pulled out in front of a dump truck yesterday on 469 or 49 , and died. We were both stunned. Someone had called him and told him , they had seen it on the news.
I started thinking....we're jerks. i'm a jerk.
and the really sad thing is .....she wasn't a christian.
{i keep erasing everything i'm writing, cause i have no clue what to say about it}
This really shows you how short life really is. Shelia was only 19.
Pray for her family....pray for her friends.

Matt and I are suppose to hang out tonight- prolly go for coffee. and talk.
i'm suppose to also go with aaron to lunch today , which will be nice because we havne't hung out in a while and we have alot to catch up on.
Things are starting to come together for the August 6th show.
Plastic Glasses has been added...i'm waiting for definate yes' from the other bands.

This week is still rocking my face off.....

everyone be carefull while driving....don't be careless . please.

We Built it, We Built it thru the night

Set Ablaze records and booking

what do ya think?
hollie and i have been trying to find our company a name....for a long time now.
i got struk by this one today while at work.
i kinda like it, i hope hollie likes it.
Anyone wanna comment, it would be really helpful.
while i breathe i hope can only do weekend shows - saturdays , and all the other bands want week days.
sad so sad. But they seem to not have their stuff together , they constantly ask me last minute for shows and then get disapointed when i can't pull thru , then when i give them dates they don't respond till it's too late and then they tell me after all this they can only do sat shows......poor communication skills i guess.

i'm worried tomorrow will come and i won't have heard from any of the other bands
mernt.....rivers wants to play and so does as cities- if they can agree on a date i would oh so happy.
maybe they are just waiting till i get to LA to talk to me about it instead of this constant emailage back and forth.
i dunno why i'm worried. I guess cause i'm afraid suma is gonna give my dates away to other bands...
i hate that the venue is a skate park....i wish i could provide better.
maybe i can see if i can locate these shows at horizon....i dunno i did agree to get shows for the skatepark- suma asked me too. we'll just see how this all unravels.

i just want responses by tonight... which i usually get replys within two days but still i'm gettin antsy.
i can live with that ...... i love the eighties....i mean hello- saved by the bell.

time to go listen to some patt benatar......Invincible- best song ever- theme song to Billie Jean- great movie - rare when it's on so if you get to see it - you rock pretty hard

80s
The Eighties.


Which Decade Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
wow i suck as a photographer......mernt.
i'm a coffee person, some of the best tiems i've had was when i was with a friend and we'd go get coffee and just talk for hours. awesome times. Well the coffee places i most frequent are cups and seattle drip. seattle drip is usually the place i go before work. Now interestingly enough i know two joeys....both of which work at one of these establishments. And both of them are hilarious. They crack jokes and are at times clueless. Now grantted i don't know the joey at seattle that well , and that's because it's a drive thru so i dont' have as many quirky stories ....but my joey from cups....wow oh wow guys, what a character. he's the must hilarious ,sweetest, clueless person i have ever met.
I was thinking about all of this the other day when i realized the two joeys i know the only joeys i know act the same and both work at coffee shops.

I wonder if seattle drip has as much drama as cups...cause cups is just encircled with drama...it's rather interesting and sad at the same time.

Tomorrow is a federal holiday so i have off...yippy skippy

Haven't heard back from any bands ,which it's only the day after i sent out notices so i believe it's okie,and i most recently found out that the SF59 show no longer has a venue.
what to do what to do.....
although here's something , i'm trying to see if die radio die would like to play here. i'm currently talking with chris and hopefully we'll know something soon and they'll be playing here. I can only hope at this point.

Back to the grindstone......

Party Tomorrow at 1612 Pear Orchard Place
Swimming in the day - bar b que
Fire Works at night....night out on the town.
And anything else that ends up in the works

Crazy Georgia people will be in town today at 11.......help.......i'm not sure what i'm going to do

also i forgot to write this

on our way to see the monkey last night we were sitting at the stop light on ridgewood and old canton
well these boys pull up
cameron looks up nods :hey what's up what's going on
they look over when she does this afterwards they start trying to give her their number with their fingers of course - counting each number out
she's laughing and she calls the number back out to them. they nod - they are so stoked
well we are all chatting in the car
"should i give em bethany's cell number "
"yeah yeah"
she turns to them and gives them bethany's number the same way- counting each number out with her hands.
they are so excited
they nod and say they'll call and drive off into the night cause the light turned green.

cameron turns and goes i'm so confused....they were cut. i've never given bethany's number to cute boys
they were pathetic.

it was hilarious. bethany never called us , we tried to call her.
so who knows what happened to those mysterious boys driving around asking for girls numbers.
well today is beautiful...vibrant colours everywhere....i love beautiful days- clear blue skies...grass is a starking brilliant green. different hues the trees have. striking pale blue skies...yeah just wow.

getting a show together has been just mernt...hopefully it will all work out
i sent emails to :
arkitekt
someday carolina
as cities burn
rivers indiana
broken english
the rockwells
while i breathe, i hope

i believe that's it
hopefully i will get a response soon and we'll have an awesome show(s) lined up.

i hung out with all the girls last night
we went to swinsons- awesome times - great laughs
then we went to suzanna's and watched america's top model and the real world
i went with cameron to sonic afterwards she took me to see this big giant stone monkey..
i never knew we had that in jackson , she said i was deprived and had to see it .
it's this big monkey in some womans yard , and it was dressed up for the forth.
wow....it was amazing.

well back to work.....:::i don't wanna work, i just wanna bang on the drums all day::

You represent... naivete.
You represent... naivete.
So innocent and trusting... you can be very shy at
times, but it's only because you're not sure
how to act. You give off that "I need to
be protected vibe." Remember that not all
people are good. Being too trusting will get
you easily hurt.


What feeling do you represent?
