Commence the Countdown...

Let me first state, I love my family. They have provided me with so much, and ask for very little. However, I am ready - I repeat, READY - to get back to Nac. This last week has been super-stressful. I have had a lot of things develop at the house, and my parents and siblings are driving me bonkers!

Confronted my oldest brother about some big issues I had. He's been taking part in some very dangerous activities, and has lied to me about this on numerous occasions. I confronted him about: number one - doing what he's doing, and then number two - why he would lie to me for over a year now. He essentially told me that I am dead to him now. What a nice thing to say to your brother. Well, I know that what I did needed to be done. He's throwing away his life....and all I feel like I can do is stand back and watch. Been praying a lot about him lately.

Today has been a bad day at the house. Things are a wreck here. Angela is moving out this week, and believe it or not, my parent's seem to have a problem with her leaving. Because what does it mean when she leaves....? I am moving very shortly after. My mom, understandably, has a hard time when I leave back to school. This time is different - I am not going to be coming home anymore. When she is upset about this, she is a little edgy and often starts arguments. She says that is just how she copes with things. I hope that she understands that we're only like 25 miles away.

The house is a mess. I hate to live in a space that is a total mess....part of the reason I am excited about moving to Nac. Part of the reason, I can't see, so when I put my hand in a sticky spot on the couch, or a wet swimming suit on the chair, it is uncomfortable. Plus, we have food on the counters that is like a week old....GROSS! I don't handle messy houses. I keep my room and dorm - whatever I am in - clean.

Anywho, I have a few things coming up. Very possibly doing REfuel with Todd in mid-August. Have a gig with Mike in early September. I am also about to begin trying to find stuff to record to put together a demo CD. I actually have a few contacts who want to listen. It's pretty exciting!

Peace!
