and so it begins.

For what's got to be the tenth time, within these past few days, I've once again sat down to try and pull together a decent update. I've must have already both written and deleted this entry about twenty times already. The strange thing is, I know just what I want to talk about, but by the time I can get it written down within this little white box

It seems every year since I turned thirty I've been having a hard time dealing with it all. It's crazy because when it comes down to it, I didn't have an issue when I turned thirty. It's odd I admit. I hope the tour ends smoothly and if anything know that you'll probably be back out there soon enough. Like I said jokingly to Nick, if y'all ever have the urge to tour you can come crash my tour or something like that. I'll just say I'd be interested in donating if I could for that cause. It's such a great cause. And, it was really nice talking to you yesterday and hopefully we'll talk again soon.

I'm pretty surprised to hear that your over the age of thirty, honestly didn't think you were older then twenty eight, or nine. Nor did I, which is what has me so curious to why I'm feeling this way. Very odd issue. From what I've been hearing, I doubt things will end smoothly, at least not with the prank war that's been engaged just this morning.

Maybe something can be worked out so that we can. Could make a pretty good team, I'd say.

Thank you, dear. I know it's short notice, with everything else that's been going on, I'm still trying to play catch up.

I must apologize to you for going so silent, then leaving. I had the tv on, and got caught up within a movie I had on. Didn't realize they'd logged me off until the ended credits popped up.

I'll be thirty-four in about two and half weeks. It always shocks people when I say that. I suppose that is a good thing. I tend to like to tease interviewers when they ask how old I am and say twenty-five, they normally fall for it for a few moments until they think about it. A tour isn't anything with out pranks, this I know.

You're welcome. It's the least that I can do. I have a show that day so a donation will have to do. Maybe another time I can attend something like that.

It's ok, I understand completely. It happens and we'll make up for it sooner or later I'm sure.

[dorough_hd]

Well, add me to that list of people you shock with it, because I truly didn't expect to hear you'd be that age. Twenty-five does sound more reasonable.

A donation would be great. I'm sure that we'll be doing more in the near future, when another is assembled, I'll let you know the details. Thank you, Jen.

That we will.

You are only as old as you feel Howard. And you know you age well, as long as you stay young at heart you'll be just fine! I'm going to miss the tour too. And you know, it's just been so great this time around. We've all just enjoyed it so much! I know we'll be busy with other things when it's over. But there is nothing like the tour life.

You know I'll do what I can to help out the foundation and the event you are holding in Canada. And if I can swing it, I'll even do my best to come along on the night.

[dorough_hd]

Then I must only be twenty-one, because that's truly how I'm feeling. I think I've got that much under control, and if I don't, the three of you are usually around to remind me.

Nothing like the tour life, at all.

Yes, I do. And I hope you know that I'll appreciate anything you can help out with. (Except for the pictures.) There shall be a ticket waiting for you, if your able to swing it.

[brianlittrell]

Then you are only twenty-one! I mean I still feel like that myself even though things have changed. You know we are here to hold it all together for you.

You'd miss us when we were gone!

I know you do man and like I've been saying I owe you. You've been great with helping me out. Yeah I know, the pictures are for your private collection! haha. Cool man, I really appreciate that.

[dorough_hd]

Then let us be twenty-one for as long as we possibly can, heh. Yes, I do know that. Just promise me that there wont be any over the hill parties when I do hit the big 4 0.

Yes, I will. Especially after the dream I had last night. I dreamt that we all decided to go our separate ways one day, only one of us remained in the music business.

And I've been saying that you don't. Friends are there to back one another up, no matter what. I'm always going to be here, for all of you.

[carter_nickolas]

You know I will be there if you want me to be.

[dorough_hd]

If you can swing it, Nick, then I'd love to have you there.
