I don't really have anything profound to talk about this evening. I just wanted to take a second to say thanks to all my rad friends that make the journey of life awesome. All my @'s and leafer friends, thanks.

Spread some Christmas cheer! *with or without a flask

Christmas is almost here. It is only two days away. And while the economy is taking, food costs are rising and people are flat out broke, I can’t help be enjoy the season.

I did all my Christmas shopping for less than $40 this year. And I hope I don’t receive much more than that for myself. I could get into the topic of not spending on gifts to be able to help others in need or to save the money to pay off debt. But I won’t. Instead I choose to not bring up money. I choose to think about my family and friends. They are the ones who matter. A lot of times I pick my friends over family. But when you think about it, friends ARE the family that you would pick for yourself, if you could. So let’s take the time to stop and make sure that more quality time is spent than money this year. That’s what really matters.

Why does almost every other blog I write start off with something about how I haven’t written anything lately but I’ll be sure to keep up with the blogging a lot better?

Lame. I have no excuses for that one.

Why do I even post on here anymore? Funny. I don't. haha!

The same stuff is going on. Nothing new to update. =(

Well it is just stupid that I haven't posted on here in so long.

So here is what's up...

I've totally been working my butt off with work and school. I'm ready to get done with this stupid degree. ha!

Besides that, I'm working on doing a Dirty South Drums relaunch. Business has dropped off because of the economy. But I know there are others out there just like me that even if the economy suck will still do whatever they need to get what they want. haha! I feel a sale coming on...

It would be a good idea to pray for Rhetta.

Well I'm off to Atlanta today!!

It has been a pretty chill night around the house. Its nice to be able to just come home, get some food and relax. I needed a night like this.

I'm totally loving it.

the temperature is rather warm right now.

As I lay my head on my pillow and drift in and out of sleep wondering how the situation will end, I can't help but feel. I'm feeling everything.

I'm finding it hard to really fall asleep because my room is burning up. But the air and the fan are both on. Could it possibly be my blood boiling from adrenaline of the past or possible anxiety of the future? It could be.

How can I hate somebody so much, but at the same time pray for them? I'm finding this struggle to be hard. Really hard, as I feel like vomiting because of events that play out in my mind but at the same time I want to cry the tears for the person that has hardened themselves so hard that no emotion can go in or out and can't cry anymore because of this. How can I get up and go to church the next day and not feel guilty for my anger.

I pray for God to comfort me tonight as I go between rest and struggle. I hurt because others close to me hurt. And their hurt is undeserved.

I pray for other's hurt and anxieties.

I pray for rest.

I pray my tears will be a release of the heaviness I feel.

I pray to refreshed in a few hours as I get up to play at the Leaf.

a change of pace this morning

It is 5:21am. I am awake and watching tv. My alarm isn't going to go off until 5:30. So why am I awake? I have no idea. But I'm about to go ahead, get up and go to the leaf.

I hope to see everyone at church today!

Cool day.

Today was a bit interesting. I was hanging out with Kevin last night while picking up a drum kit from him. He ended up leaving his in-ears in my car. Well, he is leaving for tour tomorrow and kinda needs them. So we decided to meet up today and do lunch. On the way to meet up with me, his wheel happens to fall of the axle. Go figure. So it ended up with me standing on the side of 75 with him helping him fix his car.

Random, I know. Just had to share. lol!
