Stuck on Nada Surf video's today at work...I do that when I don't want to deal with reality. The reality of my life. I am depressed today and needed a smile. I found it when I came across this video from The Beachland Ballroom (June 11, 2008). Easily the best show I have ever been to. Got to meet Matthew Caws, Ira Elliot, and Daniel Lorca. F'n Sweet. Was up on stage with the band, bought them a shot and a beer, and after the show Matthew played an acoustic set for like 30 people. It was awesome to say the least.

In this video, and the reason I am smiling now, is because I had a little to drink that night (wink, wink). At 3:52, I jump in early singing (off key)..."All I am is". It got a laugh out of the crowd, and Matthew acknowledges this with a tip of his guitar. Hillarious...at least to me anyway.

Check it out...

Smile...today could be your last.

This was played at Bubba's funeral. It made me cry today.

Haven't posted in a while...Got ripped off today, and wanted to share it with somebody I guess.

I logged into my bank account today online, and there was a charge on there for 648 dollars and change. Some bullshit charge to an online Turkish travel agency. Not sure how someone gets into my account, but if it's bad luck, it will happen to me. I am optimistic that this is pessimistic thinking, and it seems to be truth and fact.

Anyone you know lose their twin brother from cancer, and a year later get diagnosed themselves? Happened to me. Now I'm not down on myself, and I am certainly not giving up, because when something kicks me in the teeth, I'm going to fight it like a motherfucker until it gives in. I have fight in me. I am determined...I am tired of telling that sad story and having people feel sorry for me. When I go running this afternoon, I will stop and see Benny Cowgill, and read the inscription under his statue. "You can't let hardship get in the way. You can only do the best you can." Not an exact quote, but you get the idea.

Finally, to my son Cooper, and my unborn Knox...

I love you more than you realize. Don't ever stop striving to be the best.

...Smile, today could be your last.
