I am in the apple store. hi everyone!

Shay, Zach, Josh, Nick, Kate.. (and everyone in the apple store)

If you haven’t picked up “Maybe This Christmas Tree” (it’s a record), you need to! That CD seriously has the coolest tracks on it. The songs from Death Cab For Cutie, Pedro the Lion, and one of the best tracks ever from Copeland. Go buy it, don’t download it, buy it.

On another note, I went to the Ear Nose and Throat specialist yesterday. It was a very interesting time. I mean, this guy had this tube in my nose that was digging around and everything, kind of awkward. But still I felt like he was doing a seriously awesome check on this stuff. If you haven’t heard, I was diagnosed with sinusitus. No seriously, that’s what it’s called. Anyways, he did a bunch of stuff and you know what the best part was, when he said, “What I am about to tell you, nobody knows.” And I’m thinking, “ok?..” And he said, “The normal state of the nose is not when both nostrils are open.. everyone thinks that, but your nose is supposed to using one side, and then the other, switching back and forth..” I was like “really?..” and he said “yes.” Intersting huh? You never know what you are gonna learn. I mean, I might have graduated from college with a BA and never known that. And I would venture to say my life is better now.

So in the end, I’m on more drugs, sort of. I have a nasal spray now, and I am taking Claritin-D for the next 6 weeks (that stuff is freakin’ expensive!). He said those are the best medicines money can buy for what I have. If I’m not better in 6 weeks, it’s onward to surgery. You pray that the medicines work! That would make life a bit easier for me! Ok, well I’m actually sitting in a Starbucks in Hollywood right now waiting to get my hair cut. That’s just my lifestyle I guess. oh and.. Summer is only 6 months away.. if you’re not in California.. if you are in California (like myself), then it’s like 2 months away.. so smile.

this saturday night I spent some more time at the studio with Zach (www.dizmas.com). It was seriously a sweet time just hanging out and listening to the new tracks. the new album is seriously going to be unreal. the kids are going to love it. and by kids i mean you. yes, you and you’re family. really.. it’ll be out in April, buy it, love it, live it.

these pictures are a series of pics that I took while I was there. my mind is interesting. I mean, I guess I can say that. It’s my mind. It’s my website. it’s my mind on a website. shaycam.com is comitted to providing you with the best thoughts that come from my mind. and some of those thoughts come from me being a visual learner. so therefore.. my pictures are my mind in a picture. it makes sense to me and if you are still confused then you should really take some time to figure out what kind of learner you are. because maybe you shouldn’t be reading my journals. you should probably figure out how you could be served by listening to my journals instead of reading them. ok that was just a joke, but I am in kind of a weird mood right now.

finals are tomorrow, the next day, and the next day. it’s going to be kind of sucky and kind of not sucky. mainly sucky though. but that’s ok. summers almost here.

just balanced my checkbook. I sometimes get scared to do it. Because I know I’ve saved all my receipts in my wallet, but I don’t want to be reminded of all the impulse buying I did since I got my paycheck. Starbucks gave us $250 bonuses though. that was nice of them.

anyways this picture is of them filming across from my apartment. I took the pic from my balcony. they were filming “Six Feet Under” and they had this huge light and it made it look like day at night, really crazy. I just figured you kids would enjoy it. You see, I have this friend Tristan who is from Washington. And he always thought Californians met movie stars and surfed everyday. I guess it’s sort of true. well, not really. I just think it’s really funny that he thought that.

did you read my last post. if not, read it. there will be more thoughts later, you’ll see.

i repent of my pursuit of America’s dream
i repent of living like i deserve anything
my house, my fence, my kids, and my wife in our suburb where we’re safe and white
i am wrong and of these things i repent

i repent of parading my liberty
i repent of paying forvwhat i get for free
the way i believe that i am living right
by trading sins for others that are easier to hide
i am wrong and of these things i repent

i repent judging by a law that even i can’t keep
wearin righteousness like a disguise to see through
the planks in my own eyes

i repent of trading truth for false unity
i repent of confusing peace and idolatry
of caring more of what they think than what i know of what they need
and domesticating You until You look just like me
i am wrong and of these things i repent
