Stranger with the Door Key-Explaining I'm Just Visiting.

Music that's keeping me sane during a 102 question algebra exam:

1. Postal Service- Give Up
2. Death Cab For Cutie- Plans
3. Death Cab For Cutie- Narrow Stairs
4. Watashi Wa- Eager Seas
5. Copeland- Eat, Sleep, Repeat

I Eat the World, and Defecate the Shell.

You Down?!

...And!

I'm Looking a little better today!

Ahhhh, Michigan!

"If the lakes took, The place of the sea, If the cars drove themselves, Way to be! Opposite the trains moving in, Rivers run interstate, Michigan!"

- Sufjan Stevens, "Say Yes! to M!ch!gan!"

Every year that I live here in Michigan I slowly but surely start to love it more and more. Fall is by far my favorite season, and today is a great fall day, therefore I am in a good mood.

I put on my jeans, white t, and a cardigan along with my moccasins and had coffee on the porch. Then I listened to the Postal Service while eating oatmeal.

To top the morning off I saw a whole flock of Turkeys in my front yard today! I was a little disappointed though, because they didn't look like your teachers make them seem when you're in kindergarten. I always pictured turkeys as a hand print of red and orange paint with some feathers and a pilgrim hat...until now.

Either way, Pilgrim hat or no Pilgrim hat, it was still cool.

I am now on my way to the optometrist for an eye exam and to get some new spectacles, so watch out world! Cause Parker's gonna have 20/20 vision!

They Stripped Me of My Wisdom!

Yesterday I got all four wisdom teeth out plus an impacted tooth that was anchored to my jaw bone. It had to have been one of the worst experiences of my life, so far. Here's a little snapshot of how rediculous I look. Feel free to laugh, cause I have been all day.

yeah. that's funny, right?

I Know It's Nieve But...

I seriously hate Government. I respect that in this country we are free and are overwhelmingly blessed, but I can not stand this ridiculous political race! Not to mention that the Bush Administration, most likely just ruined our lives 20 years down the road from now! When is it ever a good Idea to loan money to the stock market that you don't own, so you borrow it from China, a communist country!? Please, tell me where you get that idea from?

ahhh, well that felt good. sorry for the rant.

Any who, Last night was awesome! I went to go see my friend Wes Black play in his new band Saints Never Surrender, and I think I am becoming an avid fan of hardcore punk! The drums were so powerful and the vocals had so much energy. Check them out! www.myspace.com/saintsneversurrender

Falling Behind

I made it a goal for me to blog once a day or atleast once a week, and it has occured to me that I have failed miserably. But I will not dwell on my short comings, instead I shall post another blog...

Today is the 17th of september, which is two days after the 15th which was my birthday. I can't say that I'm feeling much older, however I did get a cell phone (finally!) which makes me feel really good. It has yet to change my life, but it sure makes it feel better, or easier. But I'm sure that feeling will pass because after all, it's just a phone.

I got to spend the whole day on the 13th with Nikki and it was awesome. We went to ann arbor, which is one of my favorite places in michigan, and she took me out to BD's and bought me stuff at American Apparel. She's probablly the best person to ever exist.

We've been together for just a bout 3 years and there's never a dull moment.

All in all I had a pretty successful brithday.

A Note to Bethany

Since you've been gone Things have been kind of weird. Not weird like there's been a drastic change and every one's different, but it's just weird not to have someone to vent to who'll give me feedback instead of just listen. Even though Nikki does help, you always had so much to say.

Melissa and I are getting a long really well. Way better than I thought we would. But since she works and has school there's not too much time for us to just chill. But it's still cool.

Church is going good too! I love having youth group in the gym! the sound is awesome, the atmosphere is better, and the stage is awesome! I'm like three feet above everyone! I feel like royalty! or close to it at least. There is however, this kind of empty space of energy since you seniors left. It's weird how three or four loud girls make things seem more energetic. I wonder why that is? (haha)

Mammy and Papa should be moving soon, or at least have a house to move into soon. In fact, Mom and Mammy are out house hunting right now! when you come home for Christmas they'll defiantly be gone.

We've been good and we're going to keep your room the same! i actually decided I don't want it anymore. Especially since we're going to have the basement to put my drums in, it won't really matter.

It's good to see that you're having so much fun in California. I hope your not out getting wasted and smoking doobies with your 'too cool for school' Californian friends...yeah I know what goes on ;]

I can't wait to come see you in November with dad! we're defiantly going to chill! I love you, and I hope you're loving the new life!

If You Don't Already Have It...

Go buy "The Origins of Symmetry" by Muse.

One of the best albums I've ever heard.

Let It Rain, Let It Pour.

I created my blog about three days ago but didn't post anything right away, not because I had nothing to say but simply because I didn't want to do a typical ranting blog where I spill my guts about the things I hate most. No, instead I want to talk about something that I thoroughly enjoy!

Rainy/Gloomy Days: Today was one. I can't quite explain my odd fixation with rainy and or gloomy days. It just seems like when ever there is one I am always in such a better mood and I feel significantly artistic. For instance, I just got done writing a poem that really had nothing to do with me. Infact I worte it from a completly different veiw. Which leads me to another topic...

Recently I have been inspired by a friend to think even more out of the box than usual. I've always been a free spirit and a free thinker, but I've really been trying to see things from all different agles. I hate to bring up politics but that's espeacially one thing I've been looking at differently. I Hope it lasts...

Even though I would love to spend the rest of my day outside walking with Nikki ( girlfriend/best friend) I am stuck doing 6 hours of algebra! which is ever so exciting....
But you got to do what you got to do.
