i love checking the traffic to this blog to see how people end up at juplife. however, this result from yesterday leaves me with so many questions. there better not be 14 people out there searching google for ‘boy of destiny amato’. does one person really need to search that term 14 times in the same day and end up at the same place each time. creepers gotta creep.
(hold you palm his hand is a pretty solid search result too.)

john earl lindsay jr
the good john earl lindsay jr treated me to lunch at our old high school hangout, schmucker’s. schmucker’s makes the best pie in toledo. john earl went with the pie of the week, oatmeal, and i enjoyed the scutterbotch pie. tres bien. for the main course we both had their legacy meal, the dagwood sandwich. hopefully next time andrew weiser gets out of bed early enough to join us. if you haven’t eaten at schmucker’s before, you need to. and take me with you.

DR and i, left to our own devices, do all sorts of sweet things. take tonight for example. we were on our own for dinner. we had soup, water, flour, yeast, and salt. to the average person that doesn’t mean much. but to us, that can mean only one thing: bread bowls!
if you’d ever like us to cook for you, please let us know. the drizz diet is trending upward in 2010.
making a bowl out of that bread
pow! bread bowl!

i just finished reading the perks of being a wallflower again. it’s my favorite book. no matter what’s going on in my life, it seems to calm me down. i’ve probably read it over half a dozen times by now. this is my second time in the last two months.
when i read i like to write down my favorite quotes from the book. this time, quotes i usually wouldn’t notice were more significant to me. i’ve decided, for some reason, to share them with you:
and i want you to know that i am both happy and sad and i’m trying to figure out how that could be. p 2
as much as i feel sad, i think that not knowing is what really bothers me. p 4
we accept the love we think we deserve. p 24
not everyone has a sob story, charlie, and even if they do, it’s no excuse. p 28
i am really in love with sam, and it hurts very much. p 49
i honestly don’t know what my dad does. p 53
i am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other. p 56
i just know that another kid has felt this. p 95
she really did look sad, and i wished i could have made her feel better, but sometimes, i guess you just can’t. p 115
girls are weird, and i don’t mean that offensively. i just can’t put it any other way. p 122
she also said that people who try to control situations all the time are afraid that if they don’t, nothing will work the way they want. p 130
something really is wrong with me. and i don’t know what it is. p 137
and it can’t be like it was. and i wasn’t ready to say good-bye just yet. p 142
but because things change. and friends leave. and life doesn’t stop for anybody. p 145
but it was a hopeful kind of sad. the kind of sad that just takes time. p 198
but it’s okay to feel things. and be who you are about them. p 212
please believe that things are good with me, and even when they’re not, they will be soon enough. p 213

postsecret.com is one of my favorite websites. it posts anonymous secrets sent in from people all across the world. it’s updated each sunday and is the first website i read on sundays. when you’re having a tough time, i recommend reading it. you’ll realize other people are sharing the same experiences you are. it may even be an outlet for your own secrets.
i’ve always thought it would be cool to have a secret posted on the site. two weeks ago i sent in a secret it and it was posted. it generated a mix of emotions. while i wanted to tell everyone that it was on there, i also didn’t want anyone to know. after all, that’s why it’s a secret. i sent it in because i wasn’t comfortable sharing it but needed a release. postsecret gave me that opportunity.
some of you may be smart enough to figure out how to find out what i wrote on the back of the photo. for the others, hopefully next time i feel comfortable enough to share it with you in person. i’m trying my best to be the one you can share your secrets with.

anvil!
this is the best movie i will watch this year.
as many of you know i love movies. i love stories of all kinds. true stories are even better. that’s why a good documentary, done right, is the best kind of story. this documentary is the best kind of story.
i will be very disappointed if you don’t watch this. it’s a story about chasing your dreams, staying positive, hard work, doing what you love, having fun, laughing, supporting those you love, and everything that is right with this world.

i visited katie’s class at strose today. it’s pretty crazy going back to the old grade school. i can’t imagine working there.
katie thought i’d be a fun surprise for them (she probably just tells them how sweet i am everyday). her class was pretty good. i spent time reading with a few of the students, signing autographs, and being told i wasn’t a good surprise and that my goat bag was a purse. hopefully they’ll invite me back and not just use me for photos of bunny and tooper.

remember that time pants cooked the food you like, hosted the tailgate, let you stay over night, visited you too often at school, learned how to text, took you to practice, made you feel uncomfortable when asking you about a gf or bf, cried when you left home, loved you more than should be possible. you probably do. cause it happens everyday.
