I haven’t really written anything but music, game, and politic news in a while so here’s my effort to try to rectify that. What’s going on with me?
Well, on the 11th I went to Ames with with a couple friends to visit Craig and Hayley for a night and it was pretty packed there. Thus, of course, I came down with the flu the following Monday and I’ve been slowly getting over that since - very slowly. It’s been quite annoying.
Yesterday was an amazing day, however, and it was the best reminder this year that summer will return, and when it does, all shall be good. I’m anxious to start some summer classes and get them done with so I can get into my program for school next year.
But as for spring, what’s keeping me occupied? When it’s not raining and I’m not sick then biking. I got a new bike last year and I’m pretty excited for summer to get here. We’ve got a new camera I can pop in my pocket and I’m pretty pumped to just ride of and take some shots.

I’ve done alot over this summer and not really filled in the details. I didn’t write much at all about my Florida trip, which may have been the best vacation I’ve ever been on in my life. I havn’t written about my trip to Indiana for the AE Lan with Craig. I havn’t said much on the bonfires, the hanging, or the going out with friends. Part of it’s because this fall marks a time when so many of my friends are going to be gone. Some of it has to do with me being completely unsure of what I’m in for myself. It’s all been up in the air.
I saw almost everything I wanted to see in Florida. I swam in the ocean, saw wild dolphines, went to Seaworld, petted giraffs from the back of a wildlife truck at Busch Gardens, and boated across brackish water, just two feet from alligators. I saw a tropical storm which almost developed into the season’s first hurricane. I got sick ascending in a plane and loved how it felt landing. It was an amazing time that I’ll never forget.
This summer’s been full of firsts & lasts, ups & downs, and almost bitter goodbyes. But it’s coming to a close, and with that is both a sadness and great excitement. I wish I could talk about the things the guys and I are about to do musically, but for now, I can’t. Hopefully when we get more into it, I can start talking about what we’ve been doing, because being muted about the subject isn’t something I should go through. Talking things out is what gets my mind moving and inspiration flowing.
