I'm a really sensitive guy. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm usually very happy most of the time, but I'm not afraid to say that I cry sometimes. Recently, its been pretty frequently. Like today. At work. I was the victim of a TERRIBLE practical joke. I think I should back up and provide some history. I love my Job. Sometimes, I go into work in a bad mood, and I leave in a good mood because I love it so much. I love the people I work with, and they all love me. I sometimes feel like the OrangeSoda cheerleader because I always talk about how much I love my job and I spend a good portion of my day in the office going around cheering everyone up. They have no reason to be mean to me, but sometimes they tease me for fun. Like they made up a catch phrase called "Even Ryan Holdaway" that has become the "That's what she said." Around our office. The basically say "Even Ryan Holdaway could do that." Or something. Its sometimes funny, but usually mean... Anywho, another tradition at The Soda, is that every month the raffle off a Nintendo Wii. Well, the raffle was this morning, but I was at school, so when I showed up to the afternoon meeting, they announced "Hey, we had the Wii drawing this morning and the winner is Ryan Holdaway!" I freaked out like the guy was Bob Barker and I had just won my showcase showdown! Well guess what, I didn't win, they just told me that to see what I would do. Oh, and don't worry, they all sat around and laughed at me crying when they broke the news that it was just a cruel joke that they played on me. I don't know what hurt more, learning that I didn't win the wii, or that they had lied to me to watch me get excited and then let down. Oh man. It was awful.


So an update on FAWM. Its five days into the month and I have written four songs. I'm doing pretty good. On pace to get my goal, and have been very pleased with some of the new material. I wrote a song about Knights, about Cowboys, about Secret Romances, and about Rain.



"This Knights Armor Ain't Shining
This Prince is still searching for his Queen
Our Fairy Tale, isn't Ending Well
This Sunset Ain't for you and me."
