can we take the next hour and talk about me

i'm tired and a little bit burnt out.
in my current occupation we have what we call a turn around shift. that means that you work until 10:30 pm and then have to come back in at 6:30 am. tomorrow will be my second one in 3 days.
we also had a little bit of a scare at the old neissink home, but i don't want to go into that.

other than that this summer has been pretty gnarly. i don't do a whole lot, i basically sit around and write songs. i have not been completely lazy. i do go for pretty regular bike rides and the other day i decided to yog. but i am writing a lot of songs and actually kindof reading.

i went camping last weekend and it was truly a delight.



i totally stole this from piper but i found it entirely entertaining.

some mornings when i wake up my room smells like urine. i wake up terrified thinking omg i just wet my bed. after a careful inspection my bed is not wet and said urine smell cannot be located. i can only determine that there is some creature that urinates outside my window occasionally which pisses me off (pun).

today i tried to replace my rear view mirror in my car after a year of driving without it. i failed for the second time. anger etc.

i hope to go to the warped tour later this summer. very excite

i don't really have much else to say for myself.

somehow everything's going to fall right into place.

it has been so so long since i have posted.
rather than attempt to go over all that has happened i will give brief summaries.

work is going well and i am enjoying my time.
spiral macaroni is completely kick pants.
i played a show as the benedict affair's stand in guitarist and had a good time. (i think walhof is still a little mad)
ojk has 2 new songs both of which rock electronically.

those are the highlights of the past few days/ weeks.

in other news 3/4 of ojk went to sioux falls the other day. i purchased a mandolin and i love it. paul purchased a banjo and i love it. we are playing folk music. happy times.
to hear what i have been up to i will direct you to the link to your right that says my music. a will be posting a new song soon. there you can find a little song i wrote incoporating acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, and my voice. the lyrics are simple and not that great but it is a 2 minute gem of mediocre stringed instrument playing.

well it had been so long since i posted and that is all i have to say. embarrasing.
