Stay where I can see you.

I already have the feeling that everything is going to turn out for the better right where you're at, and I'll just kind of fade away. I hope that doesn't happen. I'm not sure I'll be ready for it when it does. I guess we'll see.

Right now I'm very excited for my band's new EP to be finished. I know it'll still be a while before we can really get it out to people but I just want to hear the finished product and know we've created something worthwhile. I think it'll turn out great. I hope everyone likes it, but then again I don't really care. Not that I don't appreciate everyone who actually likes our band. I do, more than anyone will ever know. But we didn't write this record for other people. I'm personally proud of 99% of all of these songs and I can't even explain how stoked I am for this.

I hope everything starts going as good as I know it could.

All you can ever learn is what you already know.

I just want to meet these people. I want to ask them if they all started out this way. If they really wanted to be rich and famous and not worry about sincerity or honesty at all. Or if they used to have goals, dreams, and beliefs and they all just kind of got swept under the rug. Either way, I hope I don't turn out that way. I have dreams. I have goals. I believe there can be more to this. I hope I never lose that faith.

There's a better fire in Minneapolis.

I love my band. They're the best friends I've ever had and the greatest people I could ever hope to play music with. I made this video tonight, I hope not too many people read this blog other than the people I'm aware of that read it because the background music to this video should probably not be heard yet. I'll be posting a new video with the completed song once I get it. But it was too good to pass up. It made me smile and it made me more sure than ever that this is what I need to be doing with my life. Nick and Tristan (Alex, do you read this?), I hope you get a kick out of this and smile a little. Margot, you're the only other one who reads this, I think. So pretty much this is how I spent last summer.

There's never enough time.

Why do I keep getting the feeling that you don't want this as much as I do? That we're never going to agree on anything and we're not going to work hard enough to make this go somewhere? I feel like there's something here that's really worth fighting for, but what's the point when all we're fighting is each other?

Damn it.

Knees.

I miss someone.

I'd run there, but knees are weak and my body needs to be close to you sometime soon.

I love Hot Rod Circuit.

My band just finished writing the music for the last two songs on our EP. Now we just have to get some lyrics done and we'll be set. Everything is turning out much better than I'd anticipated, I am so excited about it! I can't wait to get this pressed and get it into peoples' hands, I hope everyone will really like it.

So far away.

Even from 1,300 miles away you make me smile at least once a day and it's more than I've had in a while.

Life is strange sometimes. Good friends come from the most unexpected places.
