the confessionals of a dashboard

so...corbin and i ventured to atlanta this past wednesday and saw the national.
it was incredible.
on the way home, we began with a bunch of loud songs that we hadn't heard in a while and sang along to each as loudly as we could.
after finding a mix a friend had made me in my cd player, corbin just kind of, you know, sang along.
to those who have never experienced this side of corbin....here you go.



i love it.

goodbye, dear boy

today has been an interesting one.
i awoke at 11, disappointed once again that i cannot seem to wake up at a decent hour to begin the day.
i ate a banana.
woke up alice.
got a babysitting job for next week.
went to the bursar's office to rid myself of almost two grand... thanks, UT.
complained about the humidity and dislike for southern summer weather.
sat at home almost bored to tears, then received one of the most disappointing phone calls in my life.
my darling dog, critter, whom i have known for almost my entire life had to be put to sleep this afternoon.
i was home this past weekend, and barely saw him, but mainly because i was unaware that he was doing so poorly.
my dad had to pull the trigger today by making the decision at the vet's office, and once again i was reminded that i am not made of stone and am quite capable of crying for a solid amount of time.
i honestly have no idea why i am writing this now, especially on such a public domain, but i really just want to clear my head.
this dog was one of the reasons that everyone who knows me understands my undying love for canines.
he was one of my best friends.
i remember when we first got him.
we went to a farm and bought him and lady, his sister.
my grandfather called him a puppy with a bad monkey suit.
he was the runt of the litter and probably one of the most pitifully adorable creatures i've ever seen.
that was twelve years ago.
i hope that i can have my own dog someday that can live up to him.
he was a good one that can't really be beat.

my undying love for canines

i was watching this video the other night and i doubt that i have ever had that much trouble breathing from laughing.

dogs make my life complete.

here goes nothing...

so, my goal this summer is to get in shape again.
today i start my day of training for training's sake....
running.

i am convinced that there will be a day in my life that i can enjoy this....
hopefully.

climbing, hiking, and any other thing is a must.
i want to live in the outdoors this summer and enjoy every minute of it.
