Guys,
I used to look like this 2 years ago. (far right.)
What was wrong with me?!

Here is a few pictures of me from this past week or so.
Just as kind of an update on what’s been up.
- Me performing at Open Mic Night. It went so nice! Anna made a surprise appearance right before I started, which made me basically freak out about five seconds before I had to start singing. But in the end it all sounded great (from what I feel and what others told me.) I really enjoyed it and I’m really starting to feel good about my voice and starting to like singing and such.
- This is simply me and a few of my friends (Eric White, Ben Phifer, and Austin Ferguson) at a complimentary breakfast my school held for the top 25 students of each class. (I’m a sophomore.) Something called the President’s Award for Academic Excellence. Anyway, it was a nice and semi-formal event where parents came and they served bread and croissants and Chick Fil-A Biscuits and orange juice and such. It was nice.
- Here is a picture of me and some more friends (Austin Ferguson, John Monohan, Drew Huskey, Ryan Hammond, and Luke Smith). This was taken tonight at our induction into our school’s National Honor Society. This was also a big formal honor (kind of), which is why we all look so fresh.
- This is a picture of my wonderful parents and myself at tonight’s NHS induction. They are so incredible, and are always so encouraging to me. There is no doubt that most of my academic achievements would not have happened without their encouragement and confidence in me. My parents are such an enormous blessing in every way.

Confidence post.
You can call it conceit if you please, but it’s just something I’ve recognized that makes me somewhat happier about myself; as superficial as that may be.
I feel as though over the last year or so, I’ve become much more attractive than I have been for basically my entire life. It’s my biggest insecurity (by far), and it has always—and probably will always be—something that gets to me on a daily basis. It traces back quite a long time, but that’s another conversation.
Anyway, when looking back at pictures of me and then looking at pictures of me now, I feel like my general appearance has greatly increased, and it makes me feel somewhat better about myself. I’ve grown a lot in the last two years—outside and inside.
Sorry to fill your dash with pride.

After performing “Let Me Go,” I decided to play “Chicago” by Sufjan Stevens so I wouldn’t leave the stage an emotional wreck. I like the song a lot and it makes me happy and it’s simple to play and easy to sing. I hope it sounds good! Again, thanks to Nathan for recording.

This is me performing All Get Out’s “Let Me Go” at our school’s Open Mic Night.
It’s a little iffy at some parts, simply because I somewhat lost composure. Also, the song’s really tough to sing at some points. The yelling at the end is awful, but I don’t really care. I’m really happy with the way it went. S/O to Nathan Leopard (http://immunetowater.tumblr.com) for recording!

Please ignore the fact that this is a mirror picture and look at how dope this shirt and hat are.

Guys. The band I’m in (which happens to be three of my best friends) drove to Columbia and saw The Wonder Years and met Soupy. And I got some dank merch that got signed.
Today was incredible.
