open mic night at the house

snow?

i know this picture is from last year, but i like it and i miss the people in it. also, it reminds me of what snow looks like, because this whole global warming thing is niet goed! but apparently calgary weather is always up and down and random like this, what with chinooks and all, so oh well. as long as i get to go toboganning and hopefully snowboarding before winter is over, i'm happy. and truthfully, i'd like spring to come really soon...i miss the sun!

old friends

over christmas break i got to catch up with a bunch of old friends, so here are some pictures. other pictures, as always, are available for your viewing pleasure at www.dropshots.com/thommy

amelia and i went to rochester together, and this is her with her friend sara diaz. who is now sara gigi, but she'll always be sara diaz to us.

i met up with a whole bunch of people at the old toad. this is a pic of pete and jon.

faith spins the journey wins

well i swear that i'm not running out
i'm just doing the best i know how
and i tried real hard
but it's just not workin' out
i've been driving all around
i've been jumping at every sound
so sometimes you just got to know
when it's time to go

and it's shaking
come on
when your world is breaking
and faith is spinning you around
and your body it breaks
yeah, your soul it shakes
but that perfect peace is coming down

sad's illusion it's all for good
i just wanna say
i did all i could
and i know i'll be saying thank you
soon enough

and it's shaking
come on
when your world is breaking
and faith is spinning you around
and your body it breaks
yeah, your soul it shakes
but that perfect peace is coming down

i am not my own again
i am not my own again
