Well, I made an amazing discovery. I was outside today just chatting away with my sister when I let her know a friend and I were interested in starting a band, nothing serious or whatever. Basically we just want to do it since we both enjoy music. So then my sister said she really enjoyed my singing, which surprised me since I figured my singing voice was adequate at best. And then, somehow, we started singing, and she did the harmony. I was extremely surprised at how well we sounded together. I'm actually kind of excited now. I was thinking that my sis could come in on the band thingy and sing with me. So, her and I would be the singers, then we'd have my friend be the drummer (and she's extremely talented) and we have a guy on guitar who's apparently really good. I haven't heard him yet though, but I trust my friend's opinion. I don't think we'll ever be famous or anything, but I'm really excited to just get together with a few people and hopefully enjoy the process of making some beautiful music.

Sorry I haven't put up the one poem. I haven't recorded anything in a while. Life's been busy, specially during these past few weeks what with Christmas and New Years and all the lovely business that comes along with them. Eh. Maybe I'll get around to it.

I guess in some big magazine there was an article listing the top ten places in the US that were dying. Middletown, a small town in Ohio and the place I'm currently living in, was number ten. I'm not really sure what all words would work for the many thoughts that go through my brain as I think about that. I wrote a poem that was inspired from one of those thoughts; I'll put it up later, but it'll have to be a recording of me reading it, cause I always hate the way people read my poems. They never get them right and never fully understand them until they listen to me reading them.

You know, I've seen a lot of families where the siblings don't get along very well. They fight and bicker over the smallest things. I'm so happy that's not how it is in mine. My brothers and I are all very close, and I'd die for each one of them. My two older brothers have matching tattoos with me, and when the youngest one gets old enough, he'll join us. And my sisters are just as close as us brothers are. They're so alike it's amazing and admittedly frightening at times.

I just got off the phone with my little sister a few minutes ago and realized how refreshing it can be to talk to someone you love so much. I'm so glad that I have a sister, and a whole bunch of other siblings, that I love so much who return the love equally, and if not, more so. They make life way easier.
