ok, I know I haven't updated this in a long time. It all started with going to Canada and me not being able to surf the english web. There's no way that I can make a brief sumary of such a vast experience, but I will say that it was amazing, and too difficult to wrap my mind around to squeeze into words. I learned a lot of life lessons, met some amazing people, made pipes out of apples, and learned a lot of french in the process.
So where am I today? School has started again and is very difficult. I had to drop my french class because of the scary Math 495 (shudder). Partial Differential Equations wouldn't be so bad if the teacher actually taught us anything. Instead, we are left to the wolves and self-study is the only way.
My band is going well. I think we played our best show this last weekend with Silvero and Claymore. It seems as though we have a semi-regular show lineup for the next couple months...you know...like a real band. The tenative plan is to 'tour' this winter, which would be like a rock and roll dream come true. I hope this momentum lasts.
I have a new kitty. He's scrawney which is why I like him. He seemed like he needed a home, and something inside told me to take him in. Tarbaby didn't like him at first, but I think he's warming up to him. Courtney and company called him 'starvin Marvin', but I think I'm gonna call him Pete. He looks like a Pete. He's very playful and outgoing, which will make a nice contrast to Tarbaby's reclusive and sullen personality.
I like my new house. For the most part I'm moved in, but it still isn't 100% me yet. I hope to have all of that worked out within the next month.
I'm trying my best to make good on the promise of no girls in my life right now. For the most part, Ryan and I agree that we just don't have anything to give anyone else at this point in our lives, so we're trying to be good bachlors...not the going out and trying to get laid all the time kind...the do their own thing and have thier lives together kind. After all, the rock (m/) is my bride...she gives me all I need. Too bad Physics doesn't do the same. I enjoy it, but I can't help having the mindset.."I just want to fucking finish" rather than cherishing each moment. It's been an invaluable experience that I wouldn't trade for the world, but I'm ready for it to be over.
