friends...

so today i was surprised and blessed to have a conversation with an old friend. and whats better is that i may get to see them soon. that would be awesome! its great to know that you are still important to some people, even if time and distance try and get the better of your friendship. i am thankful for you still being a part of my life.


so second observation about Haste the Day: i have enough of their shirts to wear a new one each day for a week.


another observation about my life.... music and God's call on my life to be somehow involved. I need to pursue that avenue more. Michigan is an open door, especially the thumb area, if the kids will get involved in supporting a scene around here is another thing, but I hope and pray that they would.


Right now I'm listening to Demon Hunter. I never actually thought I would be blogging about that, but it does take me back to some interesting memories of Jimmy Ryan. See back in the day when he was still with HTD, I can remember him always wanting us to get matching Demon Hunter tattoos on our arms. Well the pictures below represent what might have ended up on my arm. This would have been my first tattoo, and I just could never bring myself to get it, even though he would have paid for it. When I didn't want the image, he tried to convince me to get the words, only he would tattoo demon on his wrist and i would tattoo hunter on mine so when you put them together you'd get Demon Hunter. I didn't really want to go for that either. And in a way I'm glad, because we never see each other anymore and it would be kind of weird to have hunter written across my wrist. Needless to say though it does bring back good memories of an old friend. Maybe someday I'll get the tattoo to remember the better days of our past... but it probably won't be on my arm.







ok, well i guess today has just been a weird blast from the past kind of day. its good though, one of the better days i've had in a while and a big part of that is contributed to the encouraging words of my friend.
