I love this kid.

say hello to my beautiful new niece, Maiya Belle Brock, born 7:44 (ish) Dec. 30th, 2007, weighing 8 lbs. 11 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. she is incredible, and totally gonna be the coolest kid there IS, because I'm gonna live with her for the duration of my four-year degree at whitworth in spokane, and I'm gonna teach her everything about God, and the Beatles, and Elvis, and the difference between music and GOOD music, and of course the guitar, she is going to be SO pro by the time she's in 7th grade. (probably before, but 7th grade sounds safe) obviously, i am excited about this. i think that i'll buy her a guitar. and give it to her for her freshmen year in highschool. and if she chooses not to pursue guitar, thats totally okay, we can go to the mall or something! i must sound ridiculous. but i have fallen in love with this new baby girl, and i want everything in her life to be absoloutly perfect. becuase she just deserves it.

well,

Merry Christmas!!

well,

its that time of year again.

Christmas Eve.

and,

yet again,

i am sick.

this happens every year,

but this year is the worst.

i am dizzy,

swolen,

tired,

sore,

too hot,

too cold,

cramping,

coughing,

sniffing,

and

pmsing.

woot.

gotta love cold and flu season.

NOT.

but it could always be worse.

always.

like, i could be dying of cancer,

or typhoid,

or MRSA,

or something.

OR

i could just be dead.

(we're ingoring the fact that i would't be complaining under that circumstance)

so all in all,

i try to be optimistic.

but let me tell you!

if this is any worse tomorow,

i am absoloutly staying in bed.

which wouldnt be too bad, except for tomorow being Christmas and all.

so thats a lie.

i would get up, go to breakfast, THEN go to bed.

lol

Merry Christmas everyone!

PS sometimes people mistake optimism for stupidity.

i'll have you know,

just because im happy doesnt mean i'm oblivious.

it just means i appreciate not being such a depressed punk anymore.
