Well, now that you said hi or somethin' i can tell you about what is new. Wait!! nope. i'm going to tell only interesting things... no more going into sick detail about dropping a pencil and spending the entire day searching for it only to find it under my pillow because i left it there for the pillow fairy. Actually, if that did happen to me... i guess that is more interesting than I intended... but you get the idea... anyway here is some intersting things that have happened to me...

Dog Bite

That's right I got bit by a dog. I was simply walking home from class. I was merely two houses away from my apartment and a door opened. Out ran a dog and a man yelled after him.

"That dog is running straight at me." I thought to myself. "He looks kind of upset. Maybe I should pet it." So I stopped. I didn't want it to think I was scared of it. So I just waited for it. waiting to rub my hand across it's fur.

Imagine my suprise when instead of stopping right next to me and extending its back for me to pet the dog ran full force into my right leg while sinking its teeth into the side of my leg. I guess it didn't really hurt. I didn't flinch. I didn't yell. I didn't kick the dog. I don't even think my eyes got bigger. Somehow, in the back of my head... I knew this dog was going to bite. I knew that it couldn't resist my juicy leg o'meat. I just simply looked down to survey the damage; its upper teeth scrapped my leg, but its bottom canines left some nice puncture wounds.

"Did he getcha?" The male owner yelled from the steps leading to his door. I looked down to see if maybe the first time I imagined the injury. nope, it was still there.

"yes sir he bit me." I informed the owner. He called me inside. His wife cleaned it up a bit and I went home. I wasn't mad. I really was kind of happy. I'd never been bit by a dog before. Secretly, I've always wanted to though. You know what I'm talking about... like wanting to get shot... just to know what it is like... to be able to say that you have... not in the chest or anything, but like the leg or arm or something. Anyway, My dad suggested letting the police know about the attack... so they came by and I had to file a report. The officers said I should get it checked out at the hospital. So, Tucker ran me to the local cut hut. He took pictures the whole time. I didn't need stitches or anything... so they cleaned me up and sent me home. My parents came up to make sure I was safe (they were going to be around the area anyway). We went out for food and that was my night.

So that is my story.... and my post. Please leave a comment. until next time...

mmmhhhmmm

You know what? I love humans. We are such an interesting beast. I just spent the last hour or so flipping through random blogs to catch a peek into other folk's lives. I was asked recently if I thought humans were inherently evil. Well... I don't know. After reading the blogs...

my mind just shifted, I decided that the previous topic was boring. Things always sound better in my head then they do outloud. I really just have to teach myself to write, but not read what I wrote. Just write my thoughts and not worry about it. but I do worry. I worry about sounding stupid, like I am afraid I am doing right now, but I'm not really afraid per say....

so, I guess I like talking to people because talking aloud thoughts is more acceptable than writing them out for a permanent record. People expect this stuff to be gramatically correct and looked over and re-written, but it is theraputic (sp?) putting my thoughts down without regard. You... yes, you the reader have a piece of my soul now. You know my thought process. yikes!!! but at the same time... mmmmmmmm. I like it. and if you think thoughts, good. I think thoughts too.

"what is he talking about" you may ask yourself. well, I don't rightly know. But... I do know one thing. I really like living. like mega hecka alot. People can be mean and people can be... well... mean. heh. but people can also be nice and awesome and beautiful. beautiful as in wonderful, excellent. It feels so darn good when people are nice. of course the opposite is true... mean people suck. but I guess I'm not really worried about the suckiness because it is only temporary. even if it seems permanent... like loneliness for life or the death of one that is loved. nope. it is only for a season. to all those who suffer from loneliness, love others and you will be loved. don't sulk or hid yourself away... but love ... love ... love. for real. in this way others will love you. and for death... think of life. remember the good. people pass, but the memories of them never do. love... live... and remember. easy. I know that sometimes it seems difficult, right now I prolly sound like a fool to those set in their ways of hating not themselves but the lives they were giving. but look around and if life isn't peaches and cream... grow a peach tree and buy a cow. things change

btw, I love

August then

Well, I am moved into my apartment here in Oshkosh. I guess I really have no excuse not to inform all of you about my goings on. So, August then...

August 5-7
I honestly don't remember... oh wait.. yep, okay. Friday I headed to Oshkosh to hang out, because Abby was having a family reunion. I met up with Hoss and we chill'n around town. I found out my good friend Caleb got engaged. Super cool. I spent the night on Hoss' couch. Saturday, We went to fox valley thrift in Appleton. It was awesome. I bought a bunch of clothes and also a very cool chair for my apartment, which I stored in Hoss' garage. Abby called me and said that there was a get together Saturday night in Mayville and that she could go. So, Her and I went to that. We were the only people to show up at this party. But it was cool, we got to hang out with John Shoemaker and Amanda Merkes for the night... see pictures and whatnot. It was fun. Sunday, I don't particularly remember. I went to church? took a nap? went to bed? I dunno.

August 12-14
This weekend was the weekend of the Film Festival. Casey and I kinda really slacked until the final week for this thing. But it fell together and saturday was a good time. Friday night though, I had a party at my house. oh wait, hold up. Friday I went to milwaukee with Jeff Thelen and Luke Magalsky to see my roommate's band, The Otis Coates, play at The Rave. We met up with Mike Heyer and Tom and Domo. It was a good time. I also saw Andy the Co-worker, her boyfriend, and her friend Jesse. After teh show, everyone came back to my place... well not everyone, but Jeff, Luke, Mike, Tom, and Domo. Also, Casey, John, and Travis came over. We played cards and hung out. It was really fun.

Friday was my last day of work. SWEET!!! Abby's family came over for a dinner at my house that Abby and I prepared. The evening was really nice; nothing really ackward or anything terrible. Saturday, I pierced Patric's ear. Then I had a steel drum gig. As always, it was fun. When I came back home, mom and dad were upset that Patric had a hole in his ear. He doesn't anymore. Then, I hung out with Abby. Sunday, We went to church together and then came back to her place and had breakfast with her family friends the MacDonalds. In the evening, We went to see The Fateful Promise in milwaukee. It was a cool show. It was fun hanging out with Travis Smith and the guys. Monday, I got ready to go to California.

When I cam back from california I got my teeth pulled and I did a bunch of stuff. Went thrift'n with Luke, all night talk with Abby, built loft frame and grilled steaks with Hoss, drove to madison with Travis, moved into my apartment with Jeff, played Settlers with the family, ran with Emily, laughed with Patric, read a letter from James, loved life with the world. Yeah, so that has been life as of late... super cool. alright, until next time... Stop thinking, keep living.
