Hey friends! Today is a wonderful day! Jim and I just finished recording for a song we wrote together… I’m super excited! It sounds really good!
Also… I put a song that I wrote today on my myspace. I like it too!! Check it! Download it! Love it if you can! Also, if you have any radiohead music, put Ambassador, Holding On, and the Radiohead song Go to Sleep in a playlist together and enjoy!
Much love! – Dave
“I think I’m safer in an airplane. I think I’m safer with my lungs full of smoke. I think I’m safer on a jetway than a world without hope.” – Copeland. That song alone may be worth the cost of the cd.
This is a way different cd for copeland, but it’s cool. Don’t trust me though, I just listened to a really amazing line. Love. – Dave
Oh man!!!! I finished my Jesus and the Origins of Christianity essays!!! Check it out!!!
Notice the sweet bags! Jimmy dared me to live a daring life… so I did! I have not slept in two night (though i did take a three and a half hour nap before one of my classes yesterday.
Also… “Today is pretzel day!”
My best Stanley impression. How does it chalk up?
“I wake up every morning in a bed that’s too small, drive my daughter to a school that’s too expensive, and then I go to work to a job for which I get paid too little. But on pretzel day… Well I like pretzel day.” :O) – Stanley of DunderMifflin (Scranton).
Oh man! So here I am, still alive and well at 7:59 AM. It’s pretty cool I’ve now finished one and two-thirds essays. More than half way home! I don’t have any humor left. That wore off with the caffiene, but so did that strange urge to be married. I am once again, happily in the rhealm of bachelorhood… again. Now for the shower and the breakfast!
::edit::
It appears my spelling also wore off with the caffeine… too.
After I wrote this post, I went and took a shower. I was wonderful and warm. I told the shower I loved it and it gave me soft water. This too made me happy.
On a lighter note, and there are lighter notes (What would Rage Against the Machine be without their hit song, I Get a Kick Out of You?), I’ve just finished the first essay in my three essay midterm for Jesus and the Origins of Christianity. I don’t think I’ll sleep tonight. It’s my fault though. The Devil didn’t actually make me do it.
I’m starting to get really figity as I’m on my third huge oatmeal cooky from the Momma Monster and second or third cup of highly caffinated Illy brand coffee. The coffee is starting to become less appetizing, but the oatmeal cooky is delighting my soul with each bite (Oh that was a big one! There’s no more! Maybe I can scrounge for crums.
Also, I am in the mood for marriage… Anyone up for it? This is a whim and I’ve heard marriages don’t do well on whim, so maybe that’s not so good. Also I’ve heard it is good to know the one you choose to marry. This is difficult as I’m not sure any girl I know would want to get married on a Monday night. Mondays are so, so dreadfully dreary don’t you find? No, Monday night will not do.
Chelsea, I’m sorry I spelled figity wrong… oh and again!
Well, I must be starting my second essay! Adios Hombres! Also Hombrettes, because you are ever so important, especially with your long hair and that brooch you wear. (If you actually do wear a specific brooch you wear all the time and your hair happens to be long, I apologize. I did not intend to stalk you, nor did I, nor would I. You ask, “Why?”Well, I… I just I… am not that kind of guy. Oh my! No. No, not that kind of guy.
Waiting for a call, however insecurely, or maybe I’m just having fun, yours always and affectionately – David
Also, The Office makes me happy.
Question! What makes you happy?
Its striking to me how many songs in the Bible are sad songs. It seems that the heros of the Bible went through a deal of perseution, doubt, and fear but we tend to ignore those things nowadays. We aren’t often taught in church that there’s any worth to the dark times in life. “If there is a dark time, it is based on your sin or lack of faith.”
Reading the Psalms, I’m thinking that maybe there is something about the dark times that are worth the while… You know the song As the Deer? It’s a beautiful song, but the verse it is based off when read in context is more of a cry of desperation that joy.
Psalm 42:1-6
1 As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
3 My tears have been my food
day and night,
while men say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
4 These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go with the multitude,
leading the procession to the house of God,
with shouts of joy and thanksgiving
among the festive throng.
5 Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and 6 my God.
My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.

Words that have grown to scare me in the last year…
1) God
2) Faith
3) Truth
Things that I have wondered exist in the last year.
1) God
2) Faith
3) Truth
I cried tonight. It was the first time I have cried for any reason in a long time. I haven’t felt alive in a long time.
I felt a hint of life when I cried.
I hope God is real.
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” – I Corinthians 1:18

Right after I finished writing this, I went to my subscriptions. The first thing I read was Emily’s last post.
“Improvisors don’t look at change as an obstacle; we look at it as
fuel. We know that the next great idea lies just on the other side of
change. We are constantly asking ourselves, “What can I do to incite
change?” Well?” -John Sweeney-
That makes me happy.
Holding on & loving your voice – David
So as I sit here writing a silly little thing for a silly little class, I’m realizing that I really didn’t like the new Phoenix cd when it came out. But you know, I think I’m having a change of heart. I like it. It’s wonderful, even excellent when you have stuff to do like write this silly little paper I’m writing for this silly little class. I have no words of great revelation, only that I like you and this cd’s pretty neat.
Oh! Also, Forever 21 has dude’s clothes now! I got some pretty rockin’ t-shirts. I’m pretty happy about it.
With love, your distant (unless you’re Renorta or Jim) but ever so interested friend – Dave
Oh man! Sometimes life can be so stinkin’ good! I love it!
I’ve been hangin’ out with a lot of new friends lately and that’s been
awesome! I’ve been workin’ on some photo projects for school as well.
It’s been wonderful!
Here are some pictoras! Oh and I’m sorry, for some reason it wouldn’t let me rotate the pictures. Lo siento! 
The first three are pictures from Vermont and the second three are pictures from a portrait assignment I had. Have a wonderful day!
