one year later.

woooooww ... so much has happened in the last year, it's amazing. i almost don't know where to begin. OR why to begin. or HOW. but i know how to end. In the next week I will be closing the door to a chapter of my life that has seen a tremendous amount of turmoil and upheaval, peace and serenity, friendship and alienation. The loss of perhaps the best friend I ever had, the coming and going of a fiancee, good friends, strange friends, bandmates, partners and romances.
I will leave my apartment in carmicheal after 2.5 years. It has been a landmark time. I will never forget the emptiness of the day i found out kenny's mom had taken him to oregon. Or the way Halie stood up for me when the CPS workers showed up. The joy of having Kenny return and that birthday party. THe following Christmas with my parents. Setting up the village and leaving it up for half the year just cause i could.

soo many fun memories, the first time i ever ate crab. A wonderful trip to Fort Bragg. A christmas movie party... that was a trip.. Watching American Idol. Jamming in the front room with ken, mike, or phillip. Sitting on the porch playing guitar for the kids in the complex.

Teaching Kenny to ride a bike and to swim. Walking over to the park when things got to crazy and I needed to chill. PLaydates with good friends. Wii parties with good friends. KIDS .. mine, neighbor's, friends and girlfriends.

THE COUCH. THE TABLE. THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER.

kirsten halie cole and I all sitting around with our laptops and headphones totally ignoring each other but in the same room.

The night i had to call 911 to report the upstairs neighbor.
THe night I proposed... i never ever thought I'd get to that point with anyone again.
the night we called it off. Coming home to the empty house once again.
PIZZA..... all the time.

It's been a great time, an era of growth change and learning. But I need to move on again. These walls have seen alot in the last 2.5 years.

Hopefully they keep their mouth shut.
