little things

I think the big things are what blogs are about.

All those stories and moments that stand out above everything else.

A forum I post on had a thread about all the little things today.

It made me really happy to read all the things people said and have those "oh yeah moments"

This list is mostly mine - but I stole a couple...

the first day of winter - the one that pulls the breath out of your chest

the smell of fresh cut grass

towels fresh out of the dryer

snail mail & packages

hearing a song you love - after you forgot about it

the sound of rain

uncertainty & butterflies

high fives & secret handshakes

long conversations

old photo albums

a good beer

10 consecutive cracks of all my knuckles

hard copies of cds with good art

stories from strangers

traveling for music 

the common thread at a concert

laughing so hard i cry

waking up to realize you still have hours to sleep

the rush of meeting someone in an airport

learning and growing and realizing it

when a song matches exactly how you feel

driving with the windows down

big sunglasses

thrift stores & estate sales

finishing each-others sentences

chick flick marathons with tough girls

bookstores, books, stories, words

my grandma singing

good tattoos, funny tattoos, tattoos that tell stories

making memories - realizing you wont forget this moment.

mustache party?

So Friday was a mess but I had a blast.

It looks like it turned into a bit of a mustache party.

Caitlin is 22.

Aaron is 24.

There is a baby rat living in the room down the hall.

I think that may have been one of the best parties we have had.

Except I ended up with bronchitis.

I spent the rest of the weekend in bed watching grey's and feeling sorry for myself.

life is so good

I had the best weekend EVER in arizona.

I cleared my mind.

I hung out in sunshine and 90 degree weather.

I saw astronautalis and bluebird yet again.

I hung out with two of my favorite people in the entire world for 4 days.

I got this tattoo on my arm a week or so ago.

I love it.

I will be getting this tatto0ed on my arm in the next month or so.

Jamee whipped this little lady up in abut a half hour.

She is amazing.

I can not wait.

COME ON SUMMER.

less then two weeks....

I am so excited for this....

The lead character is a 13-year-old foreign exchange student sent to live with a suburban, white, middle-class family. Oh, and they're Christians. The visit is for six months, and he's one of a dozen similar kids, all shipped to America to live with typical families. The secret truth is that Pygmy is a terrorist, trained since infancy in martial arts, chemistry and radical hatred of the United States. He has six months to build a prize-winning project for the National Science Fair. If he succeeds, he and his project will go to Washington, D.C. for the finals competition -- where the project will explode, killing millions. So far, Gerry Howard says it's the best book I've done. Fingers crossed for luck. - chuck palahniuk
