As of April

I'm gonna make this as short as like a month of no updates can be. I guess my number one thing would be that Sadie had the puppies. Let me take you through that day. I got up at 7:00 that day, which is like an hour later than usual because I had a late start that day. I had gotten so much sleep and I went outside and was talking to Mom. She had told me that Sadie was like about to pop. I went to do my usual early morning TV schedule which consists of the two Late Night shows on NBC from the previous night. I watched Leno (by the way, best of wishes to him. Get well soon) and then started Fallon. I was about half way through and then Mom walks over to Sadie who is panting like crazy. She goes, "Dylan, Puppy". So I stood still for a second and then found myself and walked in to go get the little booger sucky thingy to help the puppy breath. We got the puppy breathing fine. And then, I was like, Mom, I'm not going to school today. And she's like, whatever. So we moved Sadie into the den and sat there with her. I nicknamed the puppy Delilah. I'm not sure why. Part of it came from the song, but some of it came from somewhere inside that it just slipped out. I don't know what in me made me choose Delilah. I just have some strong connections to that name and it sounded right.

As we sat there waiting for the next puppy, it started getting kinda scary because the puppy started taking a long time and then Sadie gave birth to the amniotic sack but the puppy wasn't there. My mom was kinda nervous but I just kept praying that it would be okay. The Lord was apparently listening because the puppy was born. She was breach but she lived. I sort of wanted to pick Gloria but Mom said Rose. I liked it. For some reason, I thought of her some what like Rose from Titanic. How she survived something that was scary. We named the second girl Rose.

The next one took a little while longer. Scout woke up and came in. We sat there and talked together while waiting. Then, of course, I got this side splitting headache. It was just horrible. I thought my head would seriously fall off. I wanted to wait for the next puppies but I had to lay down. So I went into the family room and laid down on the couch and fell asleep for a few minutes. I got like an hour of sleep before Mom called and told me that another puppy was born. I just yelled in there. "Violet!". I don't know where it came from. It's just what I said when she told me. I was gonna go sit in there but my head was still hurting too bad. Then of course, the boy puppy was born like 20 minutes later. I called KJ at first but Mom is making me call him Kassius. His full name is Kassius Jack so technically it's not wrong for me to call him KJ but she doesn't want him to get confused. They are still too young to play with but they are awesome to hold.

Then, after that great day, my girlfriend dumped me. I'm gonna go into the details about THAT but needless to say, I'm not in the best of moods over that. I was with her for 2 years on and off and she dumped me and then tried to get me back but I didn't want to take her back. She dumped me. I just said, no.

It's weird being truly single for the first time in over a year, but I guess it's good to see what else is out there. I'm not trying to sound like some heart broken melodramatic teen but I'm just a little jaded over it. I'm just glad that I found out now instead of later that we shouldn't be together. I'm sort of content for now.

I have been throwing myself into my music for the past few weeks but hopefully soon, I can stop this dry spell of creativity and get some songs flowing so I can stop being so focused on inspring myself. I did just recently write a song but the lyrics are kinda iffy so I'm gonna keep myself busy with fixing that song up and hopefully finishing it. Maybe then, I'll just naturally get inspired. BTW, I started a band with Baylor/Jett and my friend Tylor. I am however missing a drummer. Any takers? E-mail me at dylstarks@gmail.com if you know somebody who wants to awe me with some mad drumming skills. The reason I put Baylor/Jett is because both can play bass and so when I find out who's better on bass then I'll pick. I personally, as most of you know, play guitar and sing.

I am so behind in school right now. It just seems sometimes like there aren't enough hours in the day. I'm gonna use this weekend to get some stuff caught up.

Well that should cover everything as of recently.

And of course to continue my support for my favorite band, Green Day, buy "Know Your Enemy" on iTunes and pre-order "21st Century Breakdown" which is out May 15th.

And on that note, I leave you.
Peace,
Dylan
