Motivation
I feel like I’ve been wasting time for the past several days. I’ve lost motivation to do anything. I don’t have the motivation to do my theory paper, I don’t have the motivation to practice. It’s not that i don’t want to practice. I want to practice. I just don’t want to practice the stuff that I have to practice. It doesn’t excite me, it...
Psychopath
Watching House all day, practiced a little. Really good show. It feels nice outside, hope it stays this way. Going to Abilene this weekend!! Should be loads of fun. Distracted right now, maybe I’ll say more later.
It's now or never
I’ve grown bored with this picture thing.. Strange.. I’m just going to post the pictures in whatever order I feel like now.

Person who inspires me
Aggressive Expansion
Apparently, this 30 day letter thing is boring, so moving on to pictures, which are (almost) never boring.
30 Day Picture Challenge
1. A picture of yourself with 10 facts. 2. A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest. 3. A picture of the cast from your favorite show. 4. A picture of your favorite night. 5. A picture of your favorite memory. 6. A picture of a...
Someone you've drifted away from
Going off to college means that I drift away from a lot of people, so I’m not exactly sure who I’ve drifted away from and who I just haven’t had a chance to talk to recently. Anywho, I want to say that I’m sorry for us drifting away and I’ve probably been meaning to get ahold of you but I’ve been super busy with school and figuring out my life that I just...
The person I wish could forgive me
You’ve said you’ve forgiven me, but I think that you’re still a bit mad and you don’t want to forgive me all the way. Especially since there are things I’ve decided to do regarding “us” that I have not told you about. You’re a great friend and a great person. I don’t ever want to not stay in touch with you. Our time is over though, I’m...
Someone who has hurt you the most
Dear Scott,
Even though I don’t really care that we’ve never met, and I don’t care if I ever meet you, I’d have to say that you’ve hurt me the most by not being there. I may not be able to feel the pain, which is probably a good thing, but the pain is still there somewhere. I don’t care if you wanted to see me and if you want to meet me, you haven’t made...
A deceased person you wish you could talk to
Dear the Rev,
You are by far my favorite drummer and the world is dark and cold without you here. I’m sure you had other brilliant ideas that you were saving for another album. It’s a shame you died and we can’t hear them. Until we meet in the afterlife..
-Speech
Someone you don't talk to as much as you'd like to
Dear Danny, Jose, and Mikey,
You guys are the closest thing I will ever have to actual siblings. I wish we talked more often, but that’s how life is when you’re off in another state for college. We need to all hang out again sometime soon. And we need to go camping again this summer, but Mikey needs to come along this time. Until we hangout again..
Someone you wish you could meet
Dear Mike Portnoy,
I think, as with most other people, that you are an amazing drummer and I would love to study under you for a year, at least, and increase my drum set skills tremendously. You are definitely my favorite drummer who is alive, The Rev is my other favorite drummer, but he passed away, as you know. You’re musically smart and you have amazing chops.

Favorite internet friend
An internet friend would be somebody that I’ve met online and I only know them online. The problem is I meet people in person, then find them online, so we’re going to have to include video games like PS3 as online.
Dear Navygirl,
Hi. You’re funny, and you have some good gun game. Not a whole lot more I have to say..
-Speech
Your ex
Here’s the thing.. I love you. there’s no changing that. I’m sorry if I wasn’t very good at expressing it, but I was happy. Things just fell apart. Sure, they might’ve been my fault, but there’s a reason for everything. I’ve changed from this falling apart, and it’s helped me realize who I truly am. That being said, I’m ready to move on....
A Stranger
Dear whoever you are,
Hi. We’ve never met, but I think that you are a great person and that life will treat you well. if life’s already treated you well, then it will continue treating you well, and maybe hopefully you can share some of your wellness with others. If life’s been total shit to you, and you don’t think it can get better, it will. It will take some time, but...
My dreams
Dear dreams,
You know I want you. I know what I have to do to achieve you. I just want to know how much longer it’ll be until you’re in my grasps and I can truly have you. Even though there’s a reason for me having to wait to have you, please hurry up.
Muchos gracias
My sibling
Dear _______,
First off, I have never met you, and I have no clue if I ever will meet you. I would like to think one day we’ll meet, but right now it’s probably not going to happen. I don’t think I would know what to say if we ever do meet. It’s strange growing up thinking you have no siblings and then to find out one day that you have a sister. We’ve lost that...
My Parents [sic]
Disclaimer: This letter is only to one of my parents, because I have never met the other one.
Dear mom,
I want you to know that I love you and miss you a lot. Yeah, I may get annoyed by you sometimes because you’re being a little over protective, but that’s what moms do. I know I’m everything to you, and you want to see me succeed and be happy, and I’m trying my best to...
My Crush
Dear, whoever you are (cause I’m not going to say who),
Obviously, I’m somewhat attracted to you, or else you wouldn’t be my crush. Right now, I’m enjoying this flirting thing a lot. Maybe even a little too much. But flirting is fun, and I enjoy it. And I think it’s amazing that as much as I flirt (or try to), you come right back with more, just to keep me going. I...
Dear school
Wtf. You say that it’s all over and decide that we’re going to have school today, and what’s the first thing I see when I step out the door? Snow. It’s snowing, again. How long until you decide that the rest of the day is going to be cancelled? Maybe until noon, maybe not at all, who knows. I am really confused.
Love, me
My best friend(s)
First off, I have about 3 people I consider my best friend, so this is going to be in three parts.
-Bro, me and you go way back to freshman year when we first met. I don’t know what I would do without you, you’ve helped me through countless situations, and I know I’ve helped you get through some also. I can’t even think about losing you without forming some tears. You make...

Oh my god, shoes
Snow day No. 2. No school tomorrow. Watching Happy Gilmore, texting people. Having a good time.
I finally decided what i’m going to do, and I feel good about it.
Oh, so I decided I’m going to take a trip to Europe!! So far, the plan is just me and Courtney and we’re going to go summer of 2013. So, after I graduate I’m treating myself to a European vacation. Should be...
Dugudu Dat!
It is currently 17 degrees outside. Feels like -3. I am watching a Mike Portnoy dvd so I can become inspired and hear different ideas for drum grooves and fills. Right now I’m trying to decide whether or not it is worth it to get a credit card to get a good drum set or not. I wish there was a way I could make payments on one without having a credit card. That would be awesome.
Let me know,...
