My first ever Christmas song, and if you read my recent post on Christmas spirit, you can probably guess that it’ll be a little depressing. Icicle Lights and Taxi Cabs The city sleeps awaiting the dawn The motions are there, but the magic is gone And I don’t know what I grieve Maybe just another …

Florida Trip – Day 9
Well, I realized that I left one photo off from yesterday. Well, last day in Florida. Luckily our plane doesn’t leave until 7pm, so we actually had a decent amount of time during the day to hang out. So one thing we did was go to the cemetary to visit my Grandmother’s grave. The last …
Florida Trip – Day 8
Well since this was our last full day in Florida, we decided we better hit the beach. So we headed to one of our favorite beaches, and by favorites, I do mean the nearest one: Pine Island. That’s my sister and brother in law on the right there. Those were seagulls that I soon scared …
Darkness
One thing about Chicago that I’ve noticed is that it’s an hour earlier than Grand Rapids. Well no shit, Morgan. But wait, let me continue. It’s an hour earlier, however, it’s not far enough west for everything to happen an hour later than things happen in GR. So right now I’m sitting in a coffeeshop, …
Florida Trip – Day 7
Well today was fun, primarily because of the Bears improbable come from behind victory against the Broncos. However, before that we headed out to a park in Zephyr Hills, where every Sunday for apparently the last many many years people come out with instruments and just jam. Now the song stylings range from folk, to …
Florida Trip – Day 6
[So I’m already back in freezing Chicago, where we just had our first snow, but I wanted to make sure you all heard the last of my Florida trip, so I’ll still retell the last few days] So one little story I realize I never mentioned happened on day 3. Before we took off for …
Florida Trip – Day 5
Not much to mention on this day either. Went golfing in the morning with my grandfather, my father, and my brother in law. I don’t think I’ve ever really talked about him before on here, but let me tell you about my grandfather. He is quite the character. We call him Bomp (though his real …
Florida Trip – Day 4
Well this was Thanksgiving day, so not much to mention here, other than the fact that I ate a lot of food, hung out with some relatives I have not seen in a long time, and watched a lot of football, all in the comfort of high 70s. It was fantastic. That’s all really.
Florida Trip – Day 3
Well today was a half travel day, in that we needed to drive from Key West to Tampa, which is about an eight hour drive, to return our rental car. It blows my mind to drive 8 hours and still be in the same state. But that would come later, first we decided to head …
Florida Trip – Day 2
The Florida Keys are pretty amazing. Honestly, the temperature and weather is perfect. I would get sick of that after a little while (what’s the fun in perfect weather?), but for now it’s amazing. And I can sum up the attitude of the citizenry with one simple phrase “Yeah sure.” We stayed at my uncle’s …
