Destiny... destiny protect me from the world

Destiny... hold my hand, protect me from the world

Here we are, with our running and confusion

And I don't see no confusion anywhere

As the world does turn

And if London burns

I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar

I wanna be in a band

When I get to heaven

Anyone can play guitar and they won'tbe a nothing anymore.

Grow my hair... grow my hair I am Jim Morrison

Grow my hair... I wanna be wanna be wanna be Jim Morrison

Here we are, with our running and confusion

And I don't see no confusion anywhere

As the world does turn

And if London burns I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar

I wanna be in a band

When I get to heaven

Anyone can play guitar and they won'tbe a nothing anymore.

Me and good 'ol room #219 have been buddies for almost 3 months now and our kinship is finally coming to a closure as I am leaving tomorrow (I think). I have had two roomates stay for a grand total of 3 nights so I have been blessed to have been the only one in my room for such a long while.

This is my new laptop and I am not impressed with Vista at all. XP was a fantastic Windows operating system (if that is indeed possible).

To my friends and family in the North

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting,

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been clear,

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say,

It's alright.

I guess those last two pictures that I posted didn't really post. Sorry, they weren't half bad either. I really need some internet.

"She was...an American Girl...."

I thought the Superbowl halftime was the best since U2. Not that the competition has been that good.

02/07/08

Well, after a long hiatus I have finally posted again. Not much has gone on out of the ordinary here in Norfolk. My solid upbringing and acute, almost gyroscopic senses have kept me from making any irreparable mistakes that could jeopardize my future. Which means that I have been doing very little outside of school which has given me the chance to catch up on episodes of The Office or Arrested Development and other various tv shows and movies.
I graduate from school tomorrow and from there within the next couple of weeks I will be joining my squadron and be off with my career.
The Superbowl was a major disapointment and I will say that I was rather ashamed of the lads from New England but that was short lived as baseball is right around the corner. Regardless of what Rocket Roger says or what Barry Bonds is denying this week or who the next guy Jose Canseco is going to rat out is, I still love the game with a passion.
I hope to be able to get some pictures posted soon, I have a few from my recent excursion to Va. Beach which I might add I'm not all that impressed with.
