. . . in Nashville was wonderful. It's so good to be able to spend time with the people you love and just have fun for a change. It was absolutely lovely and I just wish it could have lasted a bit longer.
a gigantic THANKS to Brooke for driving me to and fro.
there are pictures up in the new folder but here are a few quick videos for your amusement.
I'm still amazed at what you can accomplish if you're not out the night before drinking and/or staying out too late. I'm going to go relax because I've run out of things to do around the house.

Got a pretty decent lead for you today. It seems that the boys from Death Cab For Cutie have recorded a six song set for Daytrotter Sessions that is now online for you to listen to and download here. The quality is great as it seems to be live in-studio.
The big deal about this? Well, two of the songs are brand spanking new from the upcoming album 'Narrow Stairs' which is probably one of the most highly anticipated albums of this year.
Track Listing: 1.) A Movie Script Ending 2.) Cath 3.) Styrofoam Plates (my favorite Death Cab song EVER) 4.) Talking Bird 5.) The New Year 6.) Why You'd Want To Live Here
I remember things so differently
Current mood: contemplative
I think that everyone has a moment sometime during the course of their year (or for some people some shorter time interval) when they look back on the past and reflect about what it meant to them. I tend to look back and think about how much I have changed. This time I'm looking back and thinking about how other people have changed. While some of you have changed for the better and some for the worse, all of you have changed in some way over the past two or three years.
I consider myself to be a generally happy person and please do not misinterpret my sarcasm for bitterness. I have a roof over my head, a family who loves me, great friends, and most of all a wife that's much more amazing than I deserve. My life, while it is certainly not perfect, is not something that I will complain about. I've written this all before and I just want to reiterate the fact that it's 100% the truth, every word of it.
There's someone close to me who has disappeared in a sense, yet to a place that I can still barely reach them. Some of you know who this is but I'm not going to spill my dirty laundry all over this thing we call the internet. So please, if you know who I'm talking about do not post their name and if you don't know, well, I guess we're not very close. Either way, this is what I would consider to be a loosely worded "open letter" to that person.
I remember when you were happy. You would smile at me in the way that no one could ever imagine that you were holding something deeper and darker inside like you are now. It's been so long now that I've almost forgotten that you're in the pictures on my wall and in the memories that I will never be able to forget. It has gotten to the point where I'm no longer angry at you but at myself for being able to essentially write you off over the course of these last few years. It's a strange and terrifying feeling.
So I just want you to know this, at the very least, that I'm still here for you no matter what you think or feel. No shame, no guilt, and no pressure. Blood is thicker than water and there has been so much water under the bridge lately.
