Can I live?

What's up dudes.

A lot as happened in the last three weeks...or two weeks...a person that I have known since I was in elementary school passed in late February. I never saw her without a smile. You are missed by many and you will never be forgotten, Ashley.

On other notes.

I guess not much has happened.

I got to spend this last weekend with so many people that I care about. I spent Friday/Saturday morning with the Wright's (my second family). Betsy (second oldest) came into town for the weekend and it was so amazing to be there with all of them. I can't put into words how much I love these people and everything they do for me. Sheesh. At the service, Sarah and I ran into our third grade teacher (Mrs. Parker at the time) and we discussed stories from back in the day, mostly about how annoying/talkative I was haha. One story that is always brought up that is beyond ridiculous: we were in third grade and we were coloring in class. I decided to stick a crayon up my nose (for god knows what reason) and ended up breaking it inside my nose. So I was sent to the nurse's office for a crayon being stuck up my nose. What no one really knows about this story is that when I was walking up to the nurse's office, I blew that sucker right out of my right nostril in the hallway. Once I got to the nurse's office I thought it would be funny not to tell her that I blew it out on the way up. She looked and looked (in both nostrils) and couldn't find said lost piece of crayon. She sent me back to the class with nothing to say haha. Hilaaaaaaarious. Elementary school was fun.

This past Saturday, the sixth of March, The Flatliners came into Albuquerque for a show. They are headed to the land down under, Australia. It is always awesome seeing and hanging out with these dudes. Some of the funnest dudes around. Their album comes out in April, pick it up.

For some reason I thought I had a shit load to say on this thing today, but I guess not. I have a paper due tomorrow though, which I should probably still be working on, but I felt the need to get on this thing. I'm writing about how the arts and music in education are important for children. Why? Because it rules. That's what I am going to say. "Let kids make music. Why? Cause it rules (and in the end helps them grow as human beings better). Party." End of paper. Oh wait. Seven pages to go.

I've been talking to a lot more people more often that I don't normally talk to except when it's their birthday or that one seasonal conversation. It makes me feel better. Sometimes I wish I could just get paid to go hang out with friends in different states when I wanted. I think I'd be fairly happy seeing everyone that I don't get to see that often. Then I'd feel like George Clooney in that movie that I haven't seen about how he just flies everywhere and is basically a rich drifter.

Rocky Votolato is coming into town again tomorrow. That should be a good show.

Go to http://www.myspace.com/spanishgamble to download Spanish Gamble's new record for free and then go here http://www.districtlines.com/Paper-And-Plastick/ to order the LP/CD. Thanks.

I can't really think of anything else. This next week is going to be busy. I'll talk soon again.

Take care of yourselves and share what ya got.

Mrs. Parker: Kyle, what do you think your life expectancy is?
Kyle: I dunno.
Mrs. Parker: Well, it'll be around three minutes unless you shut up! (

She was an awesome teacher, so it wasn't really that mean...I think.
