Back from Chicagoland
Cath…
She stands with a well intentioned man
But she can’t relax with his hands on the small of her back
As the flashbulbs burst she holds a smile
Like someone would hold a crying child
I am back - finally. It was a good weekend but it’s not easy to sleep on a six-foot long bed when you’re 6′5″ so, obviously, I’m glad to be back to my own. My aunt took some really neat photos and some decent videos while in Africa that hopefully she’ll upload as the week progresses. I’ll pop a link up when I get word. They brought back several shotglasses for me from each of the areas they went to, so I’m pretty psyched.
They also had several interesting stories which I might post if I get one or two in text form. I know they had kind of a crazy trip at times. The pictures I’ve looked at are amazing, way better than my crappy zoo photos I posted on facebook. 
Although I’m jealous I didn’t get to go to Africa, we had lots of fun in Chicago. We hit the Woodfield mall in Shaumberg, the Brookfield Zoo, and Ed Debevic’s, which is always fun.
Remember, new Death Cab album is out TODAY. Now I’ve got to jet.
Soon everybody will ask what became of you
Your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do
Cath…
It seems that you live in someone else’s dream
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
With the things that could have been are repressed
But you said your vows and you closed the door
On so many men who would have loved you more
Soon everybody will ask what became of you
Your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do
The whispers that it won’t last roll up and down the pews
And if our hearts were dying that fast, they would have done the same as you
I’d have done the same as you
