P.S. Wish you were here...

all growing up a told myself that i would never be that guy. no one ever wants to be that guy. but after looking at myself in the mirror last night before bed i realized that i might be dangerously close to becoming "that guy". you see, last night i discovered that i may actually be practicing the art of the comb-over. no lie. i was made aware of this by my most recent haircut which accents my receding hair line and forces me to delicately position pieces of hair to cover my ever-growing forehead. i know it's receding. it's obvious. my hair is collecting all over the bathroom floor and there is a scar on my head i got when i was younger that seems to be moving further down my forehead.

so to maintain some kind of element of cool hair i've resorted to the comb-over. i'm sorry. i'm so sorry i'm becoming that guy. if it gets too bad will you let me know?

i've been a switchfoot fan forever. if i could be in anyone else's shoes it would be the chuck taylors worn by one of those surf rockers from san diego. jon foreman writes in such a way that he always seems to be two steps ahead of me in life. He has this strange ability to put my thoughts to words.

While still a lyrically solid album, it took me a little while to warm up to "nothing is sound". So when the new tour dates where announced i convinced myself that this year it would be ok if i missed a switchfoot show. last year i was crazy enough to see two shows back to back. friday night in austin and then saturday night in dallas. so, i go from not planning on seeing the show in fort worth earlier this year to not only getting in free to a show but a show in vancouver, canada. oh yeah, did i mention that i got to meet the band. the whole day was pretty surreal. mish, jay and i got to sit around and talk with the band. we shared our hearts and passion for people (well, jay and mish did. i was still in shock) and they shared theirs. just cool and genuine guys. after meeting the band we listened to jon and the guys share their hearts with hundreds of others for about and hour and a half. i was blown away by the show. these guys get better everytime. i can't believe i was going to sit this tour out.

Thanks switchfoot. Thanks for doing what you do.
