About me: im back. im back in arizona. a place i never thought id live again. but its not that bad. once you get past the heat. and the proximity to the mexican border. however i dont want to stay. i really want to live in the northwest again. that area is really nice. once you get past the clouds and rain. actually i want to live somewhere where i am happy. i think i convince myself i will be happy back in the northwest. but really i need to be around close family and friends to be content with myself and my surroundings. where that takes me i dont know, but i know it will all be okay. i like music. i like the guitar. and the piano. i am better at one more than the other. but i am practicing.
Grad school is great! I'm actually loving it :) But seriously yes!! You do make an impact on my music life. You're probably the first person I would go to if I wanted to listen to some new music. You've got a great ear for it. So as you can see from my music changes, I can't quite decide which ONE song to put on my profile. Lol, thanks for causing this dilemma :)
Great Florida pictures!! Paul is one lucky guy. That was one hell of a bachelor party...or parties should I say :) Maybe you should get paid to plan them, you'd be awesome at it...hehe. Hope the wedding went well!! Now back to the Arizona sun for you mister! :)
Hey, I put up a few photos of Pop's wedding...will you show them to your mother, please? Oh, you can look at them, too! How's the dessert treating you?
hey, wish i could have seen you down in az...but, well, you weren't home yet so i guess that's why i didn't see you. i think i'll make the trip a yearly excursion...it was great to hang out with your fam again, kind of a blast from the past. hope everything's going well, talk to ya later!
hey ross! i haven't heard of him, but will definitely check him out and try to go the show! i know what great taste you have and how similar ours is. thanks! and yes, joshua is everywhere now! its wild! we've been listening to him for years haha! how have you been? its been way too long!
aww I'm sorry ahah I know that would be my luck as well haha
Yes you should come to the show!I haven't even gotten my tickets yet. I am going to call Tuesday and see If they still have some?I just found out about it yesterday!
ok, so here's the deal... I'm getting the band back together... you in? The inn is reopening after a two year renovation and I miss you guys.. so what the hell? Why not spend a weekend on our favorite mountain... tessa and temina, kerri, val, james, maybe rainey... can't really think of anyone else, can you.., besides you of course. James is biking down the coast may and june,, so maybe july? kerri is down, and i know i can convince my boy to take a road trip.. come on man.. how long has it been since you had a good bath tub looge? Luv ya man,, let me know!!!
aw, well that sounds good too. hope you have a grand time :) well try to get back to AZ soon. i've been accepted to out-of-state grad schools so we need to get in some ross and mj time before we switch places :)

For crying out loud Ross, I can't believe you didn't leave me a birthday myspace comment. What kind of friend are you? You know when someone is truly your friend when they leave you a myspace birthday message. I guess I know who my true friends are...JUST KIDDING!!! It's completely fine, no biggie. And yes you are giving me the best present EVER!!!
thank you, thank you. i've actually been sick. i slept for about 4 days straight last week...crazy cold thing goin on this year. i'm feeling much better though...ready to get back to school. did i tell you? i'm headed to cancun for spring break this year...ha ha fun times!!!
hey, isn't your mother's birthday in the next few days? can you remind me of the date...she's been so sweet lately, she's sending cards all the time. ;o)
