still kickin

well, today i am sitting in a panera bread, remembering yet again that i have not updated this near enough... so here is a simple run down of life over the past months. lost my job in jan, hired with a new company in feb, started working night shifts (not recommended), found a new drummer for th 4h, he moved here beginning of april, worked on the house a bit, in a motorcycle accident, recovered from motorcycle accident, night shifts finish back to normal hours, start playing shows with 4h, house party with friends, almost went to texas (again), enjoy the weather and feel quite optimistic about life.

so there you have it. yes, i am aware there is one pretty traumatic event which occurred which many of you may not know about yet. i am alright, really. although i do have quite the scar to show from it. but it makes for a good story, or at least it helps facilitate good made up stories. so far i've stuck to saving children from mountain lions, and as of this weekend bears were involved. in reality it has been suggested i fall into one of two categories, either a. really lucky or b. someone is looking out for me. my neck was cut pretty badly and i had more stitches than anyone i've ever met before. the laceration starts around my right collar bone/trachea and makes it's way up to my left ear(ish). however, the incredible part is that the wound jumps over a very important part of my body, which is the main artery in my neck. also, it was suggested by doc's, paramedics and nurses that if i hadn't been wearing my helmet i would not have made it, and that i was lucky (this is gonna get a little gross, sorry) i was not decapitated. so, something greater was working that night. no broken bones, and i walked (relatively) out of the hospital the next day. so that's that.

well, we are on the verge of summer here in colorado, and the weather could not be more encouraging to the beginning of something great! after this past weekend i have determined this has the potential to be the best summer i've experienced in a long time. great friends, great house, great music, amazing weather, incredible state, and the best dog anyone could ever own will be moving in with me soon (upon the installation of the back fence). so really, life is grand.
