Well, I guess its time again for my bimonthly update. I don’t get on here to update very often anymore, but more than likely that will change. So the month of August was a pretty sweet month for me. At the beginning of the month, I went to the West Virginia on a whitewater rafting trip with my sister and a couple friends. It was a total rush. Then, after I came back from that trip, I went to Destin Florida with my cousin and a few friends of ours. We stayed at a condo that overlooked the beach. It was a lot of drinking and a whole lot of fun as well. Did I mention I love being 21? Anyhow, now I’m back at school and I’m finally living in my own apartment now. Pretty much, I’ve been partying non-stop since I moved in 2 weeks ago. A few pictures: I’m pretty wasted in all of those pictures, if it wasn’t already obvious. Aside from all of that, my classes are actually pretty cool this year. I’m particularly enjoying my meditations class. I had never really given meditating a chance before and I’m really starting to like it. My professor is really cool too. Soon, I will be taking a required all weekend retreat where no one is aloud to talk the entire time. I look forward to it, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to take it or not. It has the potential to be an eye-opening experience. Other than that, I’m really enjoying my Craft of Poetry and Philosophy of Language courses. And finally, I leave you with my favorite song from Death Cab For Cutie’s new album, Plans. It is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend you give it a listen.

Love of mine Someday you will die But I'll be close behind I'll follow you into the dark No blinding light Or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight Waiting for the hint of a spark

If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied And illuminate the "no"s On their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark

In catholic school As vicious as roman rule I got my knuckles bruised By a lady in black And I held my tongue As she told me "Son, Fear is the heart of love" So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied And illuminate the "no"s On their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me Have seen everything to see From Bangkok to Calgary And the soles of your shoes Are all worn down The time for sleep is now But it's nothing to cry about 'Cause we'll hold each other soon In the blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied And illuminate the "no"s On their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark Then I'll follow you into the dark
