Becca Bo Peep,

I come to you and the world with a heavy heart for I carry with me, a tragic load of bad news. Now would be the time to get the tissues. The lead singer of LFO, Rich, died yesterday after a 5 year battle with Leukemia (did I actually spell that right the first time!). Yes the world mourns its loss of such a musical talent as Rich from LFO. I know I have put a comical twist on this news, but I actually am very sad about it. He was only 35 and died of a very painful cancer. It doesn't matter if the person is famous or not, it's still sad. But I rejoice because he's in heaven now (at least I hope he's in heaven) where he has no pain and harmonizes with Jesus about Summer Angels. I honor of Rich of LFO, I have added Summer Girls to our playlist and included the words to the chorus below: (now imagine me reading them outloud in the silly, yet dramatic way I do)

New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer
for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since the summer
since the summer

Here is an updated list of my realizations for the week:
1) I've found that a majority of the time I am working on stuff at my job, my mouth is hanging open. Perhaps this is the root of my throat problems? I've been trying to keep my mouth shut more often, a blessing I'm sure the world has been waiting for for a while now.
2) Wine is the most deceitful drink I can think of. I look at it, in all its deep red beauty, and I know that it's made from grapes, so of course I expect it to tast like grape juice, sweet sweet grape juice. BUT IT LIES AND FOOLS AND LEADS FALSE WITNESS!!!! My taste buds begin spewing (sp?) hateful words in the form of bitter taste. Ick, I can't stand it. I like to call wine the Commandment Breaker for falsely leading me to believe that I would like it.

I just heard the weirdest death I've ever heard of. A guy was crushed to death when a thousand pound bail (bale?) rolled down a hill, through a wooden gate, and smashed into his car. Dramatic isn't it?

Wow this post had a very morbid theme so far. In an attempt to counteract the morbidness of death, I have included in this post two pictures. One of an ADORABLE baby duck, and one of an ANGRY baby duck yelling at you.

And just so you know, I will NEVER forget or relent in my mission to give you Antidaeophobia.

the first half hour of my lunches are boring without you.

I am going to start playing electric guitar and keyboard for the praise team at my church. This is will be interesting because I'm not good at improvising and stuff like that, but I think this will really push me and help me to get better.

I'm going to read now. It's taken me about a year to finish reading this book. I WILL FINISH IT BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER! Tis my goal.

Sincerely,
DUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
