To Whom It May Concern:
i am still alive, i am still living in houston, i am still 19, i am still tall, dark and handsome, i still have my sense of humor [thankfully]. i still drive my red s-10, i still love it. i am still full of sarcasm, and now partially full of shit too. i still have a giant fork in my room, its not mine though, and one day i hope to give it back to its rightful owner. i still snore in my sleep. and lastly, i still have the same haircut. as for what is different; i am single yet again, still trying to decide if i like it though. i have expanded my circle of friends to form a rather complex trapezoid of different people. which to sum up simply, has really changed me into a more well rounded individual, but mostly has given me a lot of great memories. my room is still pretty blank when it comes to the walls. i guess i am in some sort of transitional phase in my life and im still trying to find out where i fit in exactly. my room is now modern/contemporary, and almost completely void of band posters and magazine cutouts. i have a wall displaying my digital artwork and some of my photography and print work [which i sadly haven't contributed to in a while].
as for happenings and occurrences. some of you may or may not know that peewee, my 9 year old dog, recently bit one of my friends while i was out of the house. she is in therapy right now, but there is a risk she might not ever regain function in her arm/hand. not only was this incident surprising and totally unexpected, it has also been quite damaging on several relationships. things seem to be getting better now, but hopefully everything will turn out for the best.
through e-mails i have learned much more than i wanted to of the status and actions of an ex-girlfriend. to the person sending me those e-mails, please stop. i dont want to know details and i dont want to be involved. with the exception of a few, ex's are better off forgotten when it comes to my life.
to my friend who moved off to college this past year, i am sorry things arent working out for you there, but we'll all be looking forward to you coming back next summer. be thankful you got a taste of the "real world" and that you arent coming back because you couldnt cut it.
i was told by someone recently that i am the "leader" of the group. although i still strongly disbelieve her, its nice to at least think someone looks to me for advice. the sad part is that even leaders need someone to look up to. and its most disappointing when i give someone advice that i should have taken when i was in a similar situation, at least im learning from my mistakes, my many, many, mistakes! the past few months have been pretty rough, but things look to be going up from here. my friends band got recorded and their cd should be out shortly, so in a year or so you'll be able to see me on cribs as i play the "lazy bum" that sleeps on his couch!
to the friends i have almost lost touch of entirely, i miss you, i have thought about you, and yes, you will be receiving one of my silly valentines day cards, even if i have to drive a million miles to give them to you personally!
thank you for taking the time to read this, now you know what i've been up to, so e-mail me or call me or something and let me know what the heck you've been up to!

rock and roll
