Day by Day

So here it is... 6:30 in the morning... I've already gotten up eaten breakfast, had coffee, talked with Lindsay (my wonderful wife) for a while, played guitar, checked my email, and now I am here posting things online. I get up really early every day because Linds has to be at work at 6:30 each morning and I want to be on the same schedual as her (if I slept in for a few hours each day, then I wouldn't be tired when she's ready for bed). I try to do things like have the early classes at school, but an 8:00 class is still like 3 hours after I'm up-n-at-em. Usually I am very busy between course work, papers, exams, and graphic design work (that's how I make my share of the bucks), but I just had an exam yesterday, and even though I have 2 more, I feel that post-exam lull where checking email and doing other little things is an absulute necessity.

Lindsay and I are care-takers of a property outside of Chatham PA. What that means is that we do work around the property to keep it looking nice. Consequently, we live for free in a beautiful little house on 8 acres of georgeous land out in the country (I love my life). Our landlords / masters (just kidding...I never know what to call them) are 2 of the nicest and most giving people I have ever met. They live in a big house on this same property. They go out of time for like 4 months at a time and Linds and I hold down the fort. They have been gone since like mid-December, but they are coming back today. I think that I am going to go out and do a little yard work before they get here so that it is looking really nice when they pull in.

So there's a peek into my life outside of the band. I have a lot of fun in life. Actually, I think I am almost always having fun. I love working (graphic design), I love school, I love taking care of the property, and I love being married. I also love traveling, I love nature nature, all of the seasons, and every kind of weather. I have this philosophy you should enjoy everything in your life. If you chose something to be a part of your life then you have what you want and that is cool. I think that everybody has a remarkable amouny of say in what happens in their life. Everything that you have no control over... well there's just no point to being grumpy about that stuff that you can't change now is there? It is much easier and much more fun to just choose to see the good in all situations and truly enjoy this short life (do I sound like an old man or what?)

I know that I wouldn't make a very good rock star because I am too positive and happy. I don't drink and do drugs and talk about how much life sucks... If the look machine ever makes it big (i mean WHEN the look machine makes it big) I still will be a positive, happy, fun-loving guy who tries to see the best side of every situation. I wouldn't fit in with the other rock stars, but maybe I could make them laugh.
