    I'm still at JD, I Only have two more classes to take next semester then i'm going to USM for music production/recording.  Yeah i never thought i'd miss band that much, but we had a lot of fun.  Time goes by so fast after high school!  I'm in two bands right now, one is called Under the Mountain.  We play mainly folk music and mix in some bluegrass.  It's kinda different from the music on the coast.  Got a show coming up on the 27th of june at Negratto's Art Gallery by edgewater mall.  You should come check it out!  Sorry it took so long to reply, I've been neglecting the myspace lately.  It's good to hear from you!

    HOPE THIS MAKES YOU SMILE.

    THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD...
    Well, it's "shit.
    " That's right, shit!
    Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language.


    You can smoke shit, buy shit, sell shit, lose shit, find shit, forget shit, and tell others to eat shit.


    Some people know their shit, while others can't tell the difference b etween shit and shineola.

    There are lucky shits, dumb shits, and crazy shits.

    There is bull shit, horse shit, and chicken shit.

    You can throw shit, sling shit, catch shit, shoot the shit, or duck when the shit hits the fan.


    You can give a shit or serve shit on a shingle.

    You can find yourself in deep shit or be happier than a pig in shit.


    Some days are c older than shit, some days are hotter than shit,
    and some days are just plain shitty.

    Some music sounds like shit, things can look like shit, and there are times when you feel like shit.


    You can have too much shit, not enough shit, the right shit, the wrong shit or a lot of weird shit.


    You can carry shit, have a mountain of shit, or find yourself up shit creek without a paddle.

    Sometimes everything you touch turns to shit and other times you fall in a bucket of shit and come out smelling like a rose.


    When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of the English language.

    Once you know your shit, you don't need to know anything else.


    Well, shit, it's time for me to go. Just wanted you to know that I do give a shit and hope you ha ve a nice day, without a bunch of shit. But, if you happened to catch a load of shit from some shit-head...........
    well, Shit Happens!!!

    HOPE YOUR SHITTY DAYS ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN.


    By the way, my mom asked me to wish you a happy birthday from your crazy ass family in Georgia!
