First off, Happy Independence Day everyone! Yesterday when I was coming home from work, I heard System of a Down's "Toxicity" on the radio. Let me tell you, that brought back quite a few memories of the past two summers. In particular I had vivid memories of two summers ago, as well as the two past July 4th's. Two years ago was a party at Pam's followed by a party at Corey's followed by a trip to the Top (and Bottom) of the World with George and Yvette, not to mention almost getting my car blown up by Chuck's fireworks. All in all, a busy day and a lot of fun. Last year was hanging out with the family during the day and going over to George's Batavia apartment at night. That turned into quite the drama with George dumping Monique for Amanda and having me kick all the guests out of the apartment. I had quite a lot of fun the past two summers, and thinking about it kind of makes me miss being home in NY this summer. The thing is, though, I probably won't ever be home again, at least not for any extended period of time. It makes me sad and a bit nervous. It means that I basically have to start all over someplace new and find all new friends and everything. That's always been difficult for me. I am looking forward to this coming year at Case, but come next May everything is going to change again. I have no idea where I'm going to end up and what I'm going to be doing. That's pretty intimidating. It's also kind of exciting because I've got a lot of possibilities.

So what are my big plans for this Fourth you ask? Well, sadly, this will not be one of the more joyful ones. A good friend of my family died this past week, and I'll be attending the funeral tomorrow. A member of my church from Ashtabula, Walt McMorris, passed away on Tuesday. He and his wife were always very kind to my family and I, and basically acted as extra grandparents while I was growing up. He was really a great person with a good heart, and he will be missed.

So Friday night when I was over at the Cleveland's, Bill asked me how my love life was going, accused me of being gay, and challenged me to find a date for a pig roast party he's having in a month. .....Guess I need to work on that.....

Wednesday, at least I think it was Wednesday, I was in sort of a creative/poetic mood. Here's one of the things I came up with. I'd love to hear how much you think it sucks, Thanks.

I saw you staring out the window pane
You are my Penny Lane
Whoever thought my heart you'd tame
I've never played that game
But all my efforts are in vain
You don't even know my name

Current Mood: Reminiscent
Currently listening to: On To The Next One by Last Conservative
