Well, its been quite some time since i last wrote in my 'journal', tho i shouldnt really call it a journal, because by definition its not really a journal, but whatever. I just came from the bank where i found out that i have 20 dollars to my name. Keep in mind that i just deposited over $350 Wednesday. Where did it all go? come to find out, that for the last two weeks ive been behind. I would deposit my check and then, thinking that i was debt free, i would pay some bills maybe buy a CD or two, go out to eat and whatnot. this was not the case. I was about a week behind on myself. Ive been spending what i dont have and therefore the bank feels its their obligation to boyfriend me. Thanks BankOne... you suck. Everytime i would make a transaction when i didnt have money the overdraft charges just kept adding up. so when i deposited my check this week of $350, the bank basically took all my money for themselves and left me with $75 bones... bah... on top of the fact that i wont be recieving a chekc next week because i didnt work at all this week. oh yeah, dont forget that i owe the credit card company boo coo bucks and i also owe purdue cal 317 bucks by October 8th. wow, im screwed, so now im down to 20 dollars to last me two weeks... and i drive a friggin truck that gets 2 miles to the gallon. SCREWED... oh well, ill just charge it on my credit card... i just paid the bill lats week so im good for a while... i hope
in other news, the show last weekend went amazingly well. i couldnt have asked for a better turn out. |

Forever and a day... <--- an old line from an Ace Troubleshooter song... good times... anyways..
I havent updated my journal in a long time because ive been frantically working on stuff for the band. For anybody who cares, www.andifiperish.com is the site. I do all the design, graphics and web work... it sucks i know but i try.
We got our first show coming up on the 24th, offically as andifiperish. If you want any info on it, check the website, or comment on here. I really think that people are going to like the new stuff. It's different. so far everybody thats heard it has loved it and thats always a plus.
God has really been working on me in a number of ways. Megan and I have really been growing in two ways. Spiritually we have been stretching ourselves and that has been great. Our prayer time over the phone has been fun, but also it strengthens our relationship more than i could have expected. Also our relationship has been stretched a lot due to the distance, but we find ways to stay close... it works... I love her. Anyways... I got her a little suprise today from Best Buy, shes gonna love it. It has something to do with a cartoon from the 30's and 40's.
anyways... check the website, tell all your friends about it, and keep us in your prayers.
Peace until next time..
Rperish |

Day after day i find myself falling more and more in love with her. Each day is like a new adventure and we reach the pot of gold at the end each time... and everytime it gets more and more rewarding and sastifying and completely and utterly perfect. I love her so so much, that i have wondered how God could be so cool and give me such an amazing person and friend to fall in love with... but i guess that's why God is God - so He can do great things like this...
in other news... i am now the proud owner of an Ampeg Classic SVT-810E... the lord of cabinets... i love music.Current Mood:  enthralled Current Music: ampeg ampeg ampeg ampeg |

Well today was hectic let me tell you...
i worked of course, but the entire day i was thinking about my suprise i had for megan, and how i was going to go about getting it done. I knew i wouldnt be home from work until about 4ish and i knew that i had to bring my bass away to get fixed and i had to go to Dave's house to pick up some black and white pictures from our 'foto shoot, and then the most important thing, i had to get megans suprise done before sundown so i could make it home to get everything together...
needless to say i got sidetracked and by the time i got home it was 8:30... it took me over an hour to get everything together... on top of that connell was over, and brent and andy, and jake, and my parents and my sister... and of course they all either wanted to do something with me, needed to talk to me, or wanted something from me. and all i wanted to do was be alone so i could put all my efforts into her little surprise... it wasnt that hard, was it? to get a little privacy to put the effort into my love's surprise... ugh... i finally got it done, but felt like i hadnt put the effort in that i had wanted... its like that project that you did in high school that you worked until the last minute but just didnt have enough time to put all the finishing touches together... so frustrating...
but yeah, in the end she loved it and thats all that counts. I love her so much... i wish so badly that i could just hop in my speeder and zip there in 20 minutes... but no... its gotta be two hours away... thats ok, im confident that we are strong enough and that God will guide us through it all.
bah... 5 am is fastly approaching...
night all
for tomorrow And If I Perish's first practice as a full 6 piece... featuring josh connell, andy mulder, josh drake, jake veldhuizen, rich mulder and last but certainly not least....... Kyle Berg... Thank you Jesus for answering our prayers for a second guitarist...
that is all

| » Sometimes you just have to turn around |
|---|
(for some reason the last post had the date as october instead of august, hopefully it is fixed now)
Well, I worked a lot last week - monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday, although thursday was a pretty nice day. Got to stay at the shop and install new parts on the pump. A new rotor/stadar, and a new auger and i completed them on time and in perfect working condition which was oddly satisfying because i normally dont take much pride in shop work. but my dad was really cool about it... he had left for a meeting and came back and i was already done... he was suprised but happy, therefore making me pleased... but where i was originally going with all of this is that the job on Friday got cancelled so i had the day off. So guess where i went... yeah im completely predictable.
I woke up around 10 because i was going to bring my bass away to get fixed(because i broke the friggin thing after stepping on the latch to my amp head, causing it to cut a gash in my big toe. The pain brought me crashing to the ground and my bass slammed into a rack of chairs and the input got screwed up...) this is the second input ill have put on the bass. Which in a way isnt so terrible because i need to get a few other things done to it. so be it... but wow i get side-tracked... i was going to bring it away but decided to let jake take it because he was headed that way. I got ready, packed my things put my bed away, hopped in the 'stang, and headed down to see my love.
We had an amazing time as always. I got down there in record time thanks to two black guys in an el dorado who amuzed me because they were goin about 100 mph and both the front and rear bumpers were falling off, and their hands were out the window and they were 'hand surfing'... so i followed them at the same speed thus getting me to megan soon... Hats off to crazy black men... Megan and I hung out at her place for a bit til around 4:30 then headed over The Old Spaghetti Factory where we ate like Eyetalian kings(inside joke)... And it was cheap, which i was pleased about... then we headed to Best buy where I spent far to much money on way to many amazing cd's and had to continually convince Megan that i had enough money to buy them all... she loves me too much... then we headed to Meijer where i bought new boxer-briefs and some new chuck's(blue)... so i am done shopping for a long time... Then we headed over to Butler to watch the latest Harry Potter movie only to find out it wasnt being show outside on the lawn anymore but it had been moved inside to their large lecture hall.. so we crammed in there and had umm not so great seats... my neck still hurts... but it was good and i fell asleep but only because my eyes were dry from my allergies... then we headed back home and watched Joy Ride with Krystal and once again I fell asleep... and snored a lot...
Saturday- woke up headed over to megans and we went to The old pancake house... it was great, delicious despite a very veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery terrible sight seen by me... ugh, im shivering and shaking right now just thinking about it... anyways, then we went to the mall and watched people and looked at expensive dogs and i sweated a lot... I bought a killswitch engage t-shirt from hot topic - making me a tool, but thats ok, im fine with that. That ends my buying spree... but we decided we were tired and wanted ice cream so megan suggested DeBrands and we took off... only to find DeBrand's closed down for good. this made megan slightly sad but we opted for maggie moo's and went there. it was good minus the smelly indian man and his family and we headed back to the apt. chilled and took a nap there and the it was time to leave. we said our goodbyes and were both sad. I left and was almost to I-65 when i realized that i couldnt leave her like that. So i turned around and headed back. I knew she needed a better goodbye. I like leaving on a positive note... like ill see you soon and we can make it another week. rather than how long till i see you and i dont kow if i can make it another week... so thats why i turned around. and it made all the difference to her and also to me. I kind of am a hopeless romantic deep inside and i was hoping for some sappy chick flick type lover scene where the girl and the guy see each other at the door and well you know how the rest goes... but yet again my theories are true. situations like that dont really exist. true romance is found within the heart and not on the screen... and im fine with that. I was amazed at how romantic it actually was. I couldnt have asked for a better way to part ways with her. I love her way too much... Hey you, Megan - give me my heart back;)
in other news... i ramble a lot and most of my sentances dont make much sense at all, so for all of you weirdos who just spent an hour reading all of this, pretend i just de-neurolized you ... FLASH... you didnt read any of this... it was a ray of light that refracted off of some swamp gas and thats what caused all of those letters to appear on the page. Rich really isnt crazy, in actuallity he is a genious, quite possible the smartest man on earth! yes, it is true...
I love my life... oh yeah, i lost all my money to josh connell last night in hold 'em poker... but he needs it more than I do.

Weieieielllll....
its been quite a while since i last updated this journal thing. Though its hardly a journal by definition. Let's try and change that shall we.
Im not going to post this giant long entry telling you all thats happened in the past two years... that would be ludacris;). Instead I start in the now.
Today was a refreshing day for me. the past three days I have worked over 35 hours, including yesterdays spectacular 15 hour day. yup, 5 am - 10 pm. That was a long one - but that comes out to about 625 bones, which i cannot complain about. But i was so exhausted by the time i got home. There were several times during the day, when i was thinking about throwing the towel in, calling it quits, but i decided that i was getting paid enough money so it'd be better to stick around. eh, whatever... work's work.
In other news - i miss Megan more than i had thought i would. This whole college thing is going to take some getting used to. I thought i was ready for this, I thought i could make it through a week without seeing her, but I find myself drifting off into fantasy land, thinking that tomorrow ill get to see her after work, and then next day, ill get to see her after work again... sadly this is not true, but I know it will work out. Our relationship is stronger than any relationship i have ever had. That's something that i value deeply with us.
i miss her - but tomorrow, i will get to see my love... tomorrow
Also - And If I Perish is our bands new name. check it out at www.adomusic.com (It will soon be www.andifiperish.com. - new name, new members, new rock!
