A Year...

...almost to the day.

I am again arriving home from my Spring "Break" with my Brothers in Song, the Purdue Varsity Glee Club. This year though, I spent time riding home with my brothers instead of flying out later. It's funny to realize just how much the world around you can change in leaps and bounds, and how much spending time with friends that you wouldn't normally, can change things between you.

Since my last writing, my life has made some huge changes. First of all, old flames are of no concern anymore. I reconciled with the last of them, and brought closure to the whole business. As well, I have only one flame nowadays, and that's quite alright with me. Rachelle Buuck is the greatest thing to ever happen to my life. As I am writing, I'm sitting on her couch waiting for her to come home to me tomorrow.

This Spring Break was phenomenal. In just 10 short days, the PVGC stepped up our game completely. We sang for 10 sold out shows, had a police escort out of Greeneville (yes, with an E), TN, and spent over 50 hours on a bus. Bill, we are rock stars, and we certainly brought "the funk". As well, I spent time with a wonderful homestay in the Appalachians, with one of the most breathtaking views I have had the pleasure to have seen.

My homestay in Florida was, my house. It was nice to spend some time with some of the guys I don't always see. Tim Harris, Jeremy Chance, and Jeremy Clifford spent the week with my Mother and Father, as well as Buuli and Angus, Bill's new favorite cat. Throughout our week we had a few chances to sit around and talk about past and present experiences in club, mostly while hot tubbing. The second round of hot tubbing lasted 2 hours thanks to a very refreshing cool rain falling on our faces. I am thankful to have had the three guys around to get a sneak peek at the places I enjoy, like Flora & Ella's and Corkscrew Cypress Swamp Sanctuary, and to spend some good time in fellowship.

The bonds of brotherhood are much stronger now than I have ever felt them before. After all the time together, and proving ourselves capable of so much, there is no other place I'd rather be.

The next few weeks are going to be tough. But I know with a little help, and a little faith, I can prevail. Also, Humans versus Zombies returns to Purdue University, and it is back with a vengeance.

Hopefully, I can update more often, and really get out my thoughts. Thanks to J. Chance, for inspiring me to return to the blog I created to have meaning.

P.S. There are still spots on my screen, and I kind of like it that way.
