sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white....
You're my mystery.
Hello friends. Man, it's been a while and I'm sorry. I don't really know where the time has gone...but then again, I can't recall what I had for dinner, so there you go. I think it's more of a memory problem than me being so busy that the time has just flown by.
Well, slowly but surely I am working on my thesis. It's overwhelming at times. Right now...I equate it with...hmm...okay, say you really want green beans for dinner, and in this analogy you live on a farm that happens to grow green beans. Well, first you have to gather the green beans. Then you must break off the tips and discard them. Then you have to break them into smaller pieces. Then you must wash them. Then you have to cook them. All of this work when the idea, "I could really go for some green beans", seemed so simple. You have to go through all of that just to set down to a plate of green beans. Well, that's how I feel about this "project". I mean, I know what I want. I have said, "You know, I could really go for having my finished thesis sitting on my desk ready to turn in", but unfortunately, that simple idea is a multi-step process. Right now I am in the gathering/discarding stage of the process. Research. Gathering every piece of "evidence" I can to back my original idea, and throwing away the crappy stuff...isn't that a scientific term? Crappy stuff. I have written a little bit, but it's so hard to take an idea and make it tangible. I know what I want to accomplish, but I have no idea how to get there. Make sense?
Tonight I got to see my brother Miles, Peets, Carrie, and Ashley play at an open mic night. By the end of the night they talked me into playing and singing as well, and this party was sans alcohol...crazy, I know. I don't know what got into me. All in all, it was a fun...albeit at times mundane..."party". It was on HSU campus. That should tell you all you need to know.
Alright, it's time for me to...do something. I will probably watch Nick-at-Nite and fall asleep with my glasses on. Afterall, that is what I do.
Deuces.

Nice of you to say goodnight! Like the green bean analogy. Interesting, thought-provoking, edible! Hope you have a great weekend! Blessings my good friend! Miss you and hope to talk to you soon!
Ok, first of all... where did you learn so much about green beans?? Second of all, you didn't mention Carrie's most excellent song "I Like To Make Out"... which I plan on learning and playing as long as she doesn't mind. And C of all, I'm uber pissed that you played and I didn't get to see it... RAGING MAD!!! You will make this up to me, for the love of God.
