| i love the smell of rain
during band practices, more then 50% of communication happens in noises
it hurts my heart to not be in thailand at the moment
next year...
life flows from God |

| it must be nice to know what you're going to do with your life |

| so this is a little story i thought you would all enjoy
as i was on my way to my friend Erica's house this past saturday afternoon
my car broke down
i was about an hour away from battle creek near the spring arbor exit
and my car just coasted to a halt about 30 yards from the exit ramp
after about 10 minutes of discovering that there was nothing i could do for my car
i chose to don another shirt and trek up the exit ramp to some houses that i could see from the highway
once i reached the top of the ramp i spotted a house of to my right rather then the longer walk to my left
so i venture to the front door and rang the bell
promptly a 13 year old about my height with an xbox controller in hand answered the door
i asked him if it was okay for me to use the phone on account of my current predicament
and he said it would be fine, more confused then concerned
the impression i got was that he was the only currently home and i was correct
after i contacted my father to let him know what was happening he set out to come pick me up
i enquired if it was okay for me to stay at the house in order to keep warm and the young teenager let me know that it would not be a problem
his name was austin, he liked playing, 360,he was the youngest of three, his older brother had moved out and his older sister who he was not too fond of, she lived up stairs
after endeavoring to not die on halo 3 the phone rang and his mother was calling to inform him
that she was not far off
once he hung up the phone he let me know that she might be perturbed because he did not let her know that
i was there
once she arrived he walked down the hall into the kitchen where they were entering the house and said
in a confident tone"there is a stranger in the house....he's been holding me at gun point"
by this time austin and i were quite chummy so i trusted he knew what he was doing
but i was still a little scared
his sister first then soon after followed by his mother came down the hall to discover that indeed
there was a stranger in the house
but once they found out that i attend a christian college felt no need to be alarmed and warmed up to me
soon after i had a warm cup of coffee accompanied by a cookie and some conversation
once i felt that it had been around an hour at these peoples abode i called my father and he had just arrived at
berkley(my car)
so as not to drag this out anymore i will shorten it
my father used a think rope and towed my car home through back roads
i sad in my car to steer and break in necessary
all the while i froze my tookus off
hope you enjoyed that |

| its good to be home
its good to drive my car
its good to know where the streets lead
its good to go sledding
its good to let the cold air burn my lungs as i struggle up a hill because i am wearing so many layers that it hinders my range of movement
its good to spend time with friends
its good to do donuts and powerslide across parking lots
its good to miss and be missed
its good to eat whenever i want to eat and not have it cost me anything
its good to sleep
its good to go to the mall and see people i havn't seen since august
its just...good
