An awful lot has happened since the last time I posted... I don't feel that I can give a whole lot of detail about some things... but I'll give the basic rundown. Yes, the tour went very well. We didn't have quite the crowds we had hoped for, but we played four great shows. The other band played two of those shows, and did a pretty good job considering the circumstances. That said... upon returning Thursday night, I left the band. I'm not giving details as to that at this time... but there it is, now you know.

The other major thing that has happened recently... I broke up with Deanna. Shocker to some, not to others. Again, I'm not willing to say much as far as detail... it's just a very personal thing that I'm not willing to share. I will say this though... I feel pretty bad about it. I just couldn't see this relationship continuing due to a bunch of circumstances... she apparently couldn't see it that way. I know that I hurt her deeply, and I feel like the scum of the Earth for it... because she is a wonderful girl and doesn't deserve that. That said... I feel I have done all I can do, and I am determined to move on.

I will state once again that my friends are completely and totally awesome... I'm not looking forward to leaving my friends in Tiffin when I leave a week from Tuesday, but at the same time, I am looking forward to making new friends in Westerville to add to the great ones I have here. I am also looking forward to furthering friendships with those that are also going to be at Otterbein or close.

Life is crazy, confusing, and not necessarily so great right now. But I am looking forward to a fresh start next month at college... I'm looking forward to leaving a lot of things in my past and moving forward. Not that there are things I won't miss... but overall, this is a new beginning for me, and that's just the way I want it.

Well... I'll admit that this entry has ended up being longer than I had planned for it to be... but there's the basics of what's going on in my life right now... it's a transition time if there ever was one... and it's not easy, but I'm looking forward to the future, and that's keeping me going. As always, I'd love your thoughts on my life, or on your own. Please reply, this is the stuff that makes life what it is.
