Excuse Me For Blogging

It seems like everyone has their own blog these days. People used to write books, or write for magazines, but blogging is just too easy.

Stephanie and I have often said that our lives should be a reality show. We couldn't get MTV to pick it up (they chose "The Hills" instead of our show, "The Island").

it's you
it's you

You think they'll probably find you
well then you're probably right
cause they'll come back to remind you, for eternity
of when you gave up the fight, yeah
somehow they always will find you
the voices in the night, and every night
keep comin' back to remind you, for eternity
of when you gave up the fight
