the fall semester has finally started. i took 12 hours this summer and made a 3.25. i was only a few point away from a 3.5 and i'm really frustrated about it cause i feel like i worked really hard for A's in both of the classes that I got B+'s in. but i'll take my 3.25. besides, i took my hardest classes this summer so it should be smooth sailing from here on out. i think about graduating everyday and moving to austin. hopefully that will stay the plan and i'll get the job selling homes like i want.

started recording my first record last sunday. we layed down all of the drums and bass in 6 hours which was really good and saved me lots of money. brian and i go back tomorrow to finish up guitars and start laying down lyrics for "Cannot Forget You". the studio is Verge Music Works in Dallas, TX and the engineer is Martin Baird (Sixpence None the Richer, Ben Kweller, Poor Rich Folk [your welcome randy fu]) he's an extremely nice guy and is very patient and quiet, but when he does talk he says some very helpful things and i've enjoyed working with him thus far. the songs are sounding amazing and i can't wait to get this thing finished so you guys can hear it. the track list has changed a bit. it's now going to be "Cannot Forget You, "October", "This Is For You", a new song that I haven't named yet, and "Four Years". it should be out around October. it depends on when we finally finish the recording part. i think i'm gonna call it "The October EP".

if any of you guys are Christians then please say a prayer for my family and my dad. he's unemployed again and it's really hard for a 55 year old with 58 hours of college and heart disease to get a job. especially with the job market the way it is. my family is no stranger to struggling, but it would finally be nice to know that my dad has some kind of security. especially now that he's getting to an age when all of his peers are retiring and he's still trying to find a career. thanks if you do...

back to school work...

no worries...

just love...
