Sonnet #18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
  So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
  So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

William Shakespeare....godfather of emo

ive been reading through some of his sonnets lately in my free time. (gay i know) but this stuff is legit. nobody talks like this anymore.

its been almost two months since my last update, and to be honest i havent really missed xanga that much. but some new things are going on in my life so i feel that you peoples should know.

1) school is over. i some how managed to make a 3.8 again. but im not complaining

2) i moved into the locust house (aka the swamp). i now have 7 roommates. everyone is great. rent is dirt cheap. but i dont have internet there. so you might have to actually call me if you want to talk to me. (scary i know, facebook makes people lazy)

3) im interning at soho modern furniture in little rock. this is also amazing. the 2 ladies i work with are super nice and im really enjoying working there. plus the $9 an hour isnt too bad either. i can pretty much keep working there until i want to quit. so its nice to have a job option, if i want it, once i graduate.

4) i have been given the opportunity to tour this summer playing drums for coin laundry loser and owen pye. we'll be touring the upper midwest (missouri and illinoise) in august, and ill be laying down the beats for these two gentlemen. check out those guys on myspace.

5) God has really been blessing me lately and i thank Him for that. its taken me 21 years, but ive finally got things completely straight with Him. its nice to know that everything is going to be alright.

6) Pray for those going to thailand on monday.
