Haha yeah Vonya friended me and I saw you on her page, so I thought I'd shoot you a request. And yeah, I'd definitely consider myself a music/film critic, even though I don't have quite as much time to stay in touch with music as I used to...

Sorry you're unemployed. I find that being without schedule, purpose (even if it's a temporary one), or a paycheck can be hard.

For some reason, I've mostly boycotted my e-mail. I've been concentrating on something else and it takes up all my energy, if not all my time. But I want to be happy again, so I guess putting effort into figuring that out is my stark reality.

Geez, I haven't heard from you in like, forever.

How goes it? Sophomores have sucked out my soul.

How is my most favorite brother in the whole world???? :) What's going on? E-mail me sometime!!!
Vonya





May 13 2008 7:57 PM

Well I'm horribly offended that you didn't make your platitude in a timely fashion. Honestly. I'm not even sure we can be friends. Which would be nice since I wouldn't have to apologize--again--for not responding to an e-mail from, what, a couple of months ago.

Drats.

I was considering a re-read actually.
Vonya





Apr 8 2008 5:38 PM

What a black mood I was in for the comment I left on you page. Yeeesh. I'm happier now than I was then.

And you? How are you today?
Vonya





Feb 6 2008 10:11 PM

I actually have a wall I can dedicate just for that map.

I'm sick of certain people. One of those happens to be myself, but I'm not ready to die yet.

Get some rest, in the relative sense of the term, and stay put. I'm sure that tranquilizer is on the way.

I'm glad to know that amusement is your highest priority in life. It shows a certain depth to your character.

I am. Which is answering your question not evading it. Really. In continuing to be, I've met my goal for the last three weeks.
Vonya

You win the award for the longest random comment of 2008...so far. Be careful, you could lose your bragging rights.

Baby induced sleep deprivation isn't terrible. It's similar to writing a research paper that should have been done over the course of a semester in one week. Except that act of stupidity has an end in sight. I'm sure parents get to sleep again, eventually.

She is pretty cute. We already decided to keep her. Thanks.

Hmmm, amused or offended? Neither. I'm not easily amused or offended right now.

So I hear you're working at Publix again. How is that going?

Hey, Kelly said she talked to you about Sweeney Todd. Yeah... it wasn't so much that it was scary, just that I'm disturbed for life. It was...bloody. Outrageously bloody. I usually don't mind blood, but this was ridiculous. Anyways, I'm still trying to figure out whether I liked it or not.
Barney





Dec 19 2007 10:05 PM

I'm Hip about all those shows. Writers gotta get it together before they bury my favorite stuff. Life, Journeyman and Daisies. Danngit.
Barney





Dec 19 2007 6:50 PM

Uhm, I usually don't come to my friends' sites so much as straight to their blogs. Does that make sense? It has been ahwile since I was here at yours and my friend-o-meter( or whatever that thing on my homepage is called that monitors you all so closely) said you had updated your site so I came to check it out. LOL Sorry for any confusion.
Kara





Dec 19 2007 5:15 AM

No problem :) See you in a couple days...I'm so excited!!!!
Barney





Dec 17 2007 10:45 AM

cool site overhaul youngster. I dig. Let's talk about my Good Bad and the Ugly paper Idi for school. You might thrill a bit to it. Well, pro'ally not but it might still interest you some.
Ty





Dec 6 2007 8:47 PM

joy

current obsession: in an aeroplane over the sea.

thanks for spreading the epidemic my way.

i am sad to say that i will not be able to attend the poetry reading, even after i asked when the next one was in hopes to join you! Paton gave us an assignment at the beginning of the year to do 15 different papers on assessments found in our text book that I THOUGHT were supposed to be due on the day of the final. therefore i have completed ZERO... only to find out they are due friday morning.

murphy's law.... i figure my existence was predestined to be based on it.

chat soon, eh?

Nov 27 2007 9:24 PM

i think it says "YOU" or "YHWH" in arabic. the merch guy at the mwY concert on sunday gave it to me and it was handmade by them. i think its probably the best thing ive ever owned. seriously.

I have found that I am still yet to meet a true philanthropist. It's a shame in this world that it's not more common.

Pleased to meet you Joel.

Cheers,

im so sorry to hear about your uncle, joel. i will be praying for your family and your aunt in particular. i on the other hand have known very few people to die of cancer, but quite a few to have passed due to alzheimers. we'll talk when i get back into town in a few days. in the meantime, your family will be on my heart.

Hi there. It means I either have a memorable picture or my comments on your page were particularly obnoxious. Whoever she is, she is correct: I am "starting to show." Well, only if that means I look like I swallowed a basketball. I guess it's cool. I only have 10 or 11 weeks left of the pregnancy. That scares me. A lot.

Congratulations on the job! That's awesome. I hope you enjoy it and learn a lot even if you don't. You'll have to let me know how things go with the blogging.

The more I learn about blogging, the more I think you could do it professionally. You even have an angle in if you wanted.

Things are going ok overall. I'm tired and at the moment rather pissy. That's just a typical day in life of me. I do like being married, although as everyone informed me, it's no walk in the park. And I'm still lonely on occasion. Call me stupid, that's just not an emotion I was anticipating.

How are general things doing specifically for you?

That's awesome Joel! Congrats! School is going alright, except I've encounted a few glitches in registering for classes next semester. But I am determined to graduate in April. Other than that, I'm doing wonderfully! Good to hear from you!
joy





Nov 9 2007 6:22 AM

okay. im a horrible friend. it has taken me forever to get back to you, partially cause i didnt get online for four days and didnt get your message and never check text messages. many people can testify to this cause i tick a lot of people off that way! anyways! CONGRATS on the new job! thats great! we will celebrate. when would be a good time? just let me know. i work all weekend and i fly back to ohio on saturday so is there any freetime between monday and thursday evening? i have no clue what your schedule is like now!!!
Kara





Nov 7 2007 7:11 AM

I must hear all about your first day at work!!!

Nov 2 2007 10:58 PM

like amanda lynn? i suppose so. you have a strange brain in that head of yours. our next journey to guitar center will include a full survival kit, maps and compass included. i bought a beautiful mandolin once for someone, F line, beautiful color to it. Id like to find something similar. im uber excited to embark upon this musical adventure. Matt said he could teach me some stuff really soon so i'll be playing some iron and wine for us in no time.

Oct 24 2007 8:15 PM

now sir. I did not say that I wanted to take the dick and leave you with a stick... I happen to be quite satisfied, although sometimes annoyed, I was simply adding to your point and playing the devil's advocate.
Sex is often swept under the rug by most people, and talked about as hush-hush and called "the dirty" (which it's not)... and there is nothing degrading about it. Let's just put her to rest there.
