on days like today, nothing can make me feel better quite like music... especially music that reminds of "the good old days".... here are a few things i have been listening to today:

dashboard confessional -swiss army romance
something corporate
thrice
brand new
cursive
the swell season
imaginary baseball league
death comesto matteson

and the list goes on...

all this music makes me think about some really great times (and some not so great). i remember riding around Nashville with some of my best friends, taking naps in my old dorm, dancing around and screaming at the top of my lungs, being sad about a boy, pretty basic stuff... but something about all of this, on a crappy, busy monday makes me smile. it reminds me that i have had a pretty great life and have some pretty amazing friends and family (even those i don't talk to all that often).

so, to those of you who are reading this (if anyone is), thank you for all the wonderful memories you have given me and all the love i have felt because of you. i am truly blessed to have all of you in my life...

to all the muscians (who i am sure are not reading this) thank you for your giving my feelings a voice. thank you for giving me something to link my laughter and tears to. please do not stop creating and sharing with the world... there is someone that you have or will touch (it is worth it even if it is just one person).

back to work... there are meetings to schedule and people to hound.
