Nothing but turbulence.
Haven't had a computer on which to update this blog. Got kicked out (over it), lived at Stephen Jones', lived at Coach Koch's, now live at my girlfriend Trish's house.
Went to Warped, awesome. Met Craig Owens, hung out with Christopher Drew at Burger King afterwards. Saw AttackAttackChiodosNevershoutneverTheMaine3oh3TDWPBouncingSouls
AllTimeLowISetMyFriendsOnFireCashCashShutUpAndDeal.
Hanging out with my bros GlennCole and Danny 'n Brad Blaise from the old band The Inviting, just met them recently.
But mostly nonstop hanging out with Spence, Cameron, Will, Keith, and Colin.
To sum it up.

'such great heights'
Iron & Wine's cover of The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights" is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard. I could listen to it for hours. It pretty much combines the lyrical genius of Ben Gibbard with Samuel Beam's pretty folksy acoustic guitar playing.
I put the song on my next mix for Alayna.
"i'm thinking it's a sign
that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
and when we kiss they're
perfectly aligned.
and i have to speculate
that God Himself did make us into
corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces
from the clay.
and true, it may seem like a stretch,
but it's thoughts like this that
catch my troubled head when
you're away and i am
missing you to death.
when you're out there on the road
for several weeks of shows
and when you scan the radio
i hope this song will guide you home.
they will see us waving from such great heights
come down now, they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away
come down now
but we'll stay.
i tried my best to leave
this song on your machine
but the persistent beat
it sounded thin upon listening
and that frankly will not fly
you'll hear the shrillest highs
and lowest lows
with the windows down
when this is guiding you home.
they will see us waving from such great heights
come down now, they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away
come down now, but we'll stay."

Owl City nap
Spence just woke me up from a nice Owl City nap in my room. We're about to go hang out. He just got off work at 9 PM. Summer's going along nicely.

Night Adventures
So we all got bored and decided to go pool hopping.
Will, Cameron, Kasey, Keith and I ran down the street to Dane's because Will had to poop really bad and Dane had a really big pool. But the tarp was on so we decided to hit up Jeff's place a few blocks away.
We ran past Colin's house through some yards and around some fences until we decided to just hop a gate into some random house's yard and go in their pool. Will dumped some logs, and Colin, Keith, Kasey and I relieved our bladders.
After that, all seven of us went back to Spencer's and relaxed in the hot tub for a while.
Well, it's 3:24 and everyone left for Kasey's except for Spencer and me, because we're tired. Colin also went home down the street because he hasn't slept for a couple days. He looked really tired.
Yeah, it was pretty fun. A good introduction to what is going to be an awesome summer full of crazy nights.
We're about to snooze now, so i gotta go. I'll drop in soon.

Sleep over
So right now i'm upstairs blogging and stuff while everyone else is down there probably playing Risk. The show at Fubar in St. Louis tonight was awesome, we played a new song, "All We Have", that Spencer and i wrote about a week ago. I think we did really well, and we met some cool people.
Afterwards we met up with Cameron, Kasey, Colin, Keith, Will and Kaitlin and Denny's. I don't think anybody ate anything. We just talked about porn movie names like "E.T. The extra testicle." I came up with "Deep impact" and "The Sperminator". I was quite proud of those.
Anyway, now we're here at Spencer's dad's and Spencer just pulled me into the kitchen to talk about our next shows. We're so stoked about doing more; every time we do one we have so much fun meeting new people and playing good music.
Well, i'm going to go back downstairs with some Oreos. Goooooooooooodnight.

Important List
I just can't think of anything really good and worthwhile to write. So i'll post something semi- to non-worthwhile for you to read 'n heed.
List of things for me NOT to do tomorrow that i did today:
1. Trip on somebody's foot.
2. Hit on 7 girls i've never met at once.
3. Advertise Jimmy John's subs outside Quizno's subs.
4. Go inside my bank just to withdraw $2.50 from my account
5. Watch 'The Messengers'
6. Tweet about meaningless stuff on Twitter every few seconds.
6. Suck at playing guitar! The Longshot has a show tomorrow! :DDD
Plus, i learned a new term from the internets- "wtg?" (what the gay?)
ohohand here's a picture Hannah took of me holding a unicorn kite.
theend.

A summer night.
So i'm currently living pretty much a new life.
One where i do things on my own time.
I work, sure, but that's a necessity to do the things I want to do.
I just graduated high school last weekend. It was a pretty huge event- grandpa and grandma drove out from their home in Oroville, California, and visited for a few days. Grandpa brought a five pound hershey's bar. Oh he knows me so well.
Today i flew a kite with Hannah at the park. Sort of like an introductory activity into the new summer now approaching fast. I think this is gonna be a great summer.
Spencer and I are saving up for a tour somewhere in the midwestern states. Steven of A Reaction To You wants to come along for the ride. I think this is going to be an amazing summer.
Well, i don't have much to write right now. Actually, that's not true. I have tons to write. All about my friends, the one's i've been spending my days with doing nothing, and the ones still in school taking finals tomorrow. I could write about how warm (hot!) it is outside now, and how blue the sky is. Or about how i've been relaxing to Owl City and Port Blue nonstop.
But i'm too tired. :)
