so, there are some new developments in my life i'd like to inform you of.

1. i want to take voice lessons. seriously. i probably have the worst singing voice south of the red river. so that's what i want to do. i still have this dream of doing worship circle type stuff in the dallas area that i can't shake. so, i'm not going to be like moses and ask someone to speak (sing) for me. we'll see how that goes.

2. saw an old friend i hadn't seen in a while last night. he's another of my old dc talk buddies. went to every show in a 6 hr radius of dallas, just about. he's also in my wedding. well, turns out he's in a punk band now. go figure. small town guy just like me, long time fan of dc talk (yes, well, we have matured some since then), writing punk music. crazy stuff. his band has this rocking name. red five standing by. i think that's cool too. also, they right really fun songs about all the girls who have dumped them. i think this is also cool. check it out at www.redfivestandingby.com. i want to be cool like them. so i think i'll try my hand at writing music. don't you think that would make me cool? lord knows i've got enough stories to tell. which makes me cool. and, when it's all in good fun, no one will care how much it sucks. cool, eh?

3. so, i'm going to be taking voice lessons and writing music. shoot, i could pull a jason martin and record all the parts myself. i've got a seldomly used bass, guitar, and drum set all within 20 feet of me. you heard it here first. now all i need is a name. and a few songs. and a fan or two.

4. the playstation will be my undoing.

5. i am still decidely uncool.

6. supposedly i don't give myself enough credit when it comes to the girls. wish i had a dollar for every time i heard that. well, make that a few thousand dollars, then i wouldn't have to finish school. whatever. if that is the case, please tell that to the last two girls i fell head over feet for. they might be glad to know that i don't give myself enough credit. oh. wait. too late, they're already married or engaged...shucks.

7. the coolest thing i saw on the red five standing by site went something like this.

(admit it, you're laughing too...)

8. i've managed to waste 4 hours already today. oh. wait. that's not new news.
