| I havent posted for a while, so here we go. Tune in next year for my next update. | | |
| So I havent updated this site ina while. I'm certainly in a way better
mood than last time i posted. Things are going great for Breaking Even
right now. We are becoming a regional band and are starting to get
booked consistently outside of Iowa, which is sweet. Maybe this is a
sign of things to come. That would rule because i wouldnt have to wake
up everyday and be stressed out from all the bullcrap college involves.

| Christmas break is fast approaching and all i can say is THANK
GOD!!!!!!!!! This semester has been a huge discouragement in every way
possible. I'm terrible at school no matter how hard I try, so that
obviously sucks. Pretty much the only thing that doesnt suck right now
is stuff for Breaking Even, the band I play drums for. Things are going
great musically, which makes sense because music is what I actually
don't suck at. I wish colleges had a "build-your-own-degree" program,
that way I wouldnt have to take any gay, ridiculous or pointless
classes like Magazine Publishing or various other classes that ive
worked my butt off in, but still done piss-terrible. Anyway, check out
the band and let me/us know what you think -

| Today I heard some stuff that really upset me big time. I basically had
a girl tell me that I have a bad reputation and she has heard from
several girls she knows that are involved in campus ministries, that
I'm a womanizing sleazebag. Well, it sounds like there is a BIG RED
WARNING FLAG that goes up whenever my name gets mentioned among the
female gender. I really can't believe people are questioning my
integrity like that. I have found out that things have been said behind
my back by people at CRU also. The funny thing is that all these people
who are talking about me behind my back and spreading RUMORS THAT ARE
NOT TRUE, claim to be Christians. They ARE doing the same thing that
they ACCUSE ME of doing - confessing Christ with theirs mouths, but
denying him by their lifestyle. Perhaps they need to take the log out
of their own eye and realize that they are being stupid and that gossip
is WRONG and that, as Christ-followers, we are called to build one
another up, not spread rumors about each other that damage people's
reputations and ultimately how other people view a person based on
those negative reputations. I've had it. I've been pushed too far. I'm
going to get even more mysterious than I'm already accused of being.
Those who are second guessing me, will no longer do so, because I won't
let them know me even if they try to get to know me. So, anyone who has
talked crap about me, if you're reading this, SCREW YOU!!!!! and don't
try to fake being my friend.

| So I'm back at home in Cedar Rapids for Thanksgiving break, which is
sweet. I got to hang out with John Seidl last night, which is awesome.
We got a chance to catch up on life, and the band, etc...,etc... I
drank a tad too much and made a few crass comments, but other than that
it was a good night. Nate, Kiefer, Todd, Ben Wery, Jen, Karen, and Liz,
and two of John's cousins, who are pretty cool were there also. We had
a bonfire and hung out. Good times. I'm totally stoked about the band's
return as soon as John gets back. We'll rock your face off for sure.
Count on it
