    he and afew others from the band went over early to have some leisure time before their shows start, and right now he is in Ireland. i just wanted to share some of his pictures and stories so you could see a little of it too!!

    These are all from Gallaway (sp?) and the place looks awesome. I love the street scene pic the most.

    someone must have been thirsty. ha!

    these are all taken from the iphone i got him for christmas.. which, i feel pretty good about. ;)

    here is a little bit of what he has done:

    "(when we landed) We headed down to Gallway (Galway?) almost immediately and found a
    pretty great hostel. Cheap enough and free wifi (YES). We wandered
    around the town for a couple hours... it really is beautiful -- and so
    different, too. But you know this.

    After enough wandering, we got back into the car and headed south to
    Doolin. We had heard that the Cliffs of Maher were incredible and
    well... they were! I raised my phone to take a picture and the thing
    ran out of juice right when I hit "camera." What a bummer, right??
    But, perhaps a google search can give you a better idea of where I
    was... I'd love to go back someday.

    Anyways, the Cliffs of Maher. It started whipping wind and rain when
    we arrived and while it was cold, the weather as wild as it was made the Irish coast
    even more powerful. An amazing view. Old ruins jutting out from place
    to place, the ocean crashing into "Europe's window ledge." Perfect.

    Afterwards, we made our way back to Doolin and found a bar to settle
    into for a few hours. A fireplace was going, pints of guinness for all
    of us. It turns out this was the bar that Matt's dad had taken him to
    for his first beer. Crawdaddy's, I think. Not touristy
    at all - just a hole in the wall Irish pub. We sat around telling
    stories and thinking about how crazy that we had made it here."

    here is a video of the cliffs of maher! its not brets video, but you can see where he was!

  • let me recap the past week for you:
    bronchitis sucks.

    ive been sick since friday :(
    i just thought it was a cold so i kept putting off going to the doctor, thinking i would feel better the next day.. but i only felt worse. Finally i broke down on monday afternoon and just drove home to be with mom and dad and let them take care of me for awhile, since i was tired of taking care of myself!

    they sent me right to the doctor who diagnosed me in about three seconds.. she also asked me if i was smoking, and i admitted to smoking a little less than what would be considered honest, but i assume thats what everyone does right?

    i think you would all be pretty pleased to hear that i havent smoked since last thursday, and with the current state of my lungs, have no desire to in the near future.. so since ive already gone a week i figure now is probably the best time to just quit. (and save money!) i will let you all know how it goes. :)

    anyhow back to my bronchial tales:

    im taking antibiotics and i have an inhaler... ive been better about the antibiotics than the inhaler... but i still dont feel better. i mean, i feel better than i did saturday i suppose, but no significant difference in the past two days.
    dang it, im just tired of being sick! :(

    dad says i need to eat kfc tomorrow, no matter what. (he is a good man)
    he says that my ramen noodle diet isnt helping me fight off my sick. (ramen noodles can do anything, i believe.)

    everyone tell anna to buy me a scooter and im sure i will be healed.
    well, i suppose anyone could buy it.

    im going to bed lovers.
    i have missed you xanga, lets reignite the fire.
