The Return of Little Jimmy

Those of you who have ever heard or heard of "the Voice" might not know its origins.

the voice started out as a joke, a goofy voice created by Trey Gyovai. some of us here in Minnesota learned to love the voice and even tried to imitate it. Others hated and despised it *cough* weston and luke *cough*

this is a greeting from the guy that started it all.

Summer

i think that Jack Johnson, Matt Costa, Sondre Lerche, Matt Nathanson make great summer music.

i had alot of fun today with emma and abbie. what started out as a simple time to wash the car turned into a water fight filled with laughter. although there are lots of times when being with my family is the last thing on my mind... there are times when it is a blast to goof off with them. i guess you don't realize how much you'll miss little sisters until you are about to move out of the house.

Gyovais Video 1

Gyovais

so after having a blast in New York we arrived at the Gyovai's wednesday night. Its been awesome to catch up with them and to meet some of their new friends here in VA. We have been making some Videos that i am going to post here soon... there have been some storms and the internet keeps dying so its hard to upload anything... and now that the internet is working YouTube is doing site maintenance so i can't do it now when i wanted to :-(

but tomorrow morning we are going to D.C. bright and early so i need to get to sleep.

keep your eyes open for a video soon :-)

The Sojourner

our walk is full of crossings
paths that intersect, merge, and bend
a road that turns and goes off into the distance,
the sojourner never to be seen again.

He is the one who must stand strong,
when no one is around him to catch him fall
but the horizon is too high for him to see
there's no one to lift him, neither you or me.

consumed by the shadow that dwells in our depths
the sojourner stumbles struggling for breath
then out of the darkness the light breaks through
it started small... but slowly grew.

Graduation

I got a pretty funny card from JoJo for graduation. The front of the card read:

wake up. take a picture. put on gown. Take a picture. put cap on head. take a picture. Meet friends and family. take a picture. take a picture. go to ceremony. take picture...

etc. you guys get the point :-)

Its over exaggerated, but not that much!

the 2 weeks before my open house getting ready, to last night pretty much drained the energy from me, in a good way i realized! Last night when i got home from the Baccalaureate service at church i threw on the spectacular mix that gabby gave me and started going though all the cards and congratulations that i got. i realized how blessed i am to have such loving family and friends!

so thank you everybody soooo much! i don't deserve any of you.

much love,

Michael
