On April 10th of this year, I left you a message saying that I saw the face of Romantic Terrorism, and it was as scary as it sounded. 6 months later Im about to write the Bush admin a strongly worded letter about their lack of attention to this matter. Romatic terrorism: It IS a family values issue. And Im about to throw down a serious gauntlet to the powers that be!

I cannot wait to be sipping Cuban coffee with you brotha. As it should have been for a long time now...

Good job making it! Although it's the 10th today? Hmmm. The cosmos are misalligned?? Actually, I have no idea what that last sentence even means, but it sounded good. :p Did I make it? Life is a journey, not a destination.

Hey Mike. I'm doing great! How are you? Good to hear from you. Yeah, teachers are supposed to hide these sites, which is why I have mine set on private so that nobody (except my friends) can see my page. I'm thinking about deleting it all together but some people seem to only communicate through myspace....

"oh serious, one time dave made me move a wood pile from one side of the yard to the other. know what i did?....i got a wheel barrow, that made him so made!" heard that one 30 times

i hate shakespear, "cry havok and let slip the dogs of war" is all the guy has going for him.

you should be less concerned about gwars comeback tour....more about how badass they are, they are from across the galaxy!

tony and i disasembled his 360 tonight, got it working for half an hour. then it took a shit again, we have to have the local hindu 360 guru fix it.

we are going to make a massive river house this year, it will be great. foundation is already made. you should check it out. ill pack you down the trail if you arent well enough.

i see you're tired of hearing your upstairs neighbors having sex.

i, on the other hand, am not tired of hearing my upstairs neighbors having sex, because, for some reason, they always listen to WHAM! while they're doing it.

moral of story: george michael turns everyone on. even 16 year olds. therefore, everything must be right in the world.

i'll be up on thursday, any chance of seeing you?
