in your eyes i am complete...

It's an unbearably slow day at work today. The time change just makes everything seem so much longer! Although there are good points to the time change. For example: Mari and I were able to sleep in till 10:30 on Sunday morning and it felt like we got an extra hour of sleep because we did. We needed that hour too, on Saturday I had to open at work so I was up by 5:45 in the AM, and our plans kept me up all day until about 1:30 on Sunday morning. We had a virtual birthday extravaganza if you will for Bryan. We had a birthday dinner at our house where we loaded up on some delicious cavatini, garlic bread, and salad. We followed that up with the only thing that would logically follow a large Italian feast...an evening at World of Fun Amusement Park. We got lost on the way there, and some of us weren't the best of moods when we arrived at the park, but alas it is an amusement park after all so we quickly snapped out of it after our first rollercoaster. That was a great time with the exception of the extremely disappointing Haunted House. I kid you not we waited in the longest line that we would have to wait in all night for that stupid thing. We waited for two hours to go through a crappy Haunted House with too many fog machines and too many strobe lights! Other theme parks really should take a lesson from Disney...they would never let that crap fly in one of their parks.

There's really not a lot to say about yesterday...it was just a lazy day. Although I did see an amazing Dallas Cowboys game last night! Tonight I'm watching the Vikings game when I get home!

It's been awhile. I haven't had much to say lately and frankly I was trying to stay away from this blogging stuff (as no one reads this anyway), but alas work couldn't go by any slower today so here I am.

So what's current?

Well, the setbacks are in a bit of a transition period right now. We realized that we spent too much time last year aiming for the stars and in the process we ended up not playing too many shows and not being very happy. Which seems kind of like a strange situation. I think we just got too caught up in talking ourselves out of doing things because we have to do it perfectly or something. Also a lot of the songs we've been playing really aren't a good reflection of who we are as a band. That's mainly due to the fact that when we started no one else was writing music but me, but now we're all songwriters. So we're not completely rejecting everything, but we're going to be more selective about what old songs we keep and focus on writing new material in the new year. Adam's going to study at a recording school in Arizona for a year and then after that we'll be reborn from the ashes like a phoenix or something. A name change may be in store too.

Home life is good. My folks just moved to Lawrence, and it's really great to have them around. We've spent a lot of time catching up with them and letting them catch up with Joel.

This weekend Mari and I will be seeing the Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D, on Saturday the setbacks are playing a show in Manhattan, KS, and then on Sunday Bryan, John and I are leading worship at Heartland.

So that's what's current. That's what you've been missing...
