turn my page


When I was a little boy, I remember I would go to the grocery store with my mom and chase the reflections of the florescent lights on the floor, I truly believed I could run faster than light.

alibis


the beach has come and gone, and as expected it was an amazing time, it's so amazing how the Lord always gives you what you need whether you know you need it or not. And so I got what I needed, though that wasn't why I went. And though I did get quite sick, the beach still played host to one of the single most beautiful moments of my life.

on the night we spent in the blanket fort


As the first chill of Autumn arrives our hearts turn to each other and the memories of a childhood ideal. That, though we never really had it, we now find ourselves recreating. This common feeling of closeness and warmth. We, twenty-ish year olds find ourselves lying close in a created atmosphere of home, built by blankets and cushions in an apartment living room. Just as we did a dozen years ago, before we grew up. And just like that we regain something wed lost. And now all I fear is losing this again.

low lights & crisp nights, fist fights & pearly whites


For some reason I've been dealing with a lot lately. For no apparent reason a lot of crap has been just coming back up recently, making it, at times, difficult to sleep. Despite being totally exhausted most of the time. However, it's been strangely ok.
The fair is this weekend, our fourth annual trip. It's amazing to think what amazingly different personal places I've been each time I've gone. It's hard not to wish that I had done things differently, somehow been wiser. But I wouldn't trade where I am now for anything, and I have to beleive that all my stupidity has at least taught me some things, but that remains to be seen I suppose. whatever
