Rise up this morning
smiled with the rising sun
three little birds
pitch by my door step
singing sweet songs
of melodies pure and true
saying, this is my message to you:
don't worry about a thing (three little birds, bob marley)

yeah, i ordered my tix for jack johnson and ben harper at the greek theatre today...did you? i was afraid that when jack johnson came back to the bay area, it would be a bigger venue than the greek which is where i saw him last. glad to see that isn't the case, because that was such a great concert.

last night my parents went to a silent auction for my cousin's school and got an adam graves signed stick. it's super cool cause it was used in a game on december 14th, a game in which he got a goal. fun times. here is a link to the game, and a picture my bro took with his phone. yes, his phone. so weird.

i'm still not sure what i want to say about this "war" that's going on right now. i don't agree with it 100%, but i don't agree with what protesters are doing, either. the ones in san francisco who are blocking traffic are really effing retarded. you're not coming off very well; you're really just causing headaches for commuters. people are late getting into work because you're dumb. do your protesting where it will make a difference. the people you're screwing are not the people who are in charge of saying it's time to go to war. don't think you're anything close to the lone man standing in front of a tank in tiananmen square, either. i found a great quote that sums up how i think the protesters are thinking: "Think globally, ruin people's day locally."

on a different note, i decided i would be a pen pal with someone stationed overseas right now. i think it could be fun times, and i even get to make a care package. something i'm very good at. :)

here's a fun site. just put your name in and funny stuff appears. like this:
