well...even though you're standing right next to me, and i could very easily tell you with real audio, i'll put it in binary for you. 011010100100100101001001. that means: "thank you for the reason to check myspace...i have no other...i love you more than buster loves biscuits. i love you, my wormie. kiss my head."
if only the finest birds in the forest dared sing, how quiet the forest would be if only the best readers dared read, how ignorant our country would be if only the best singers dared sing, how sad our country would be if only the best athletes engaged in sports, how weak our country would be if only the best lovers made love, where would you and i be?
Hey Susan! I hope your starting to feel better. I went to the Wandering Sons show in Rockford before I left for Oregon and I was thinking to myself Susan would want to hear the new song... so I made a late night phone call..sorry if I woke you... I am starting a 7 day wilderness training tomorrow but will be back in Illinois for a little bit! I am so excited!!! I'm a College Graduate!!!
