But Now, I Realize I'd Give Anything I have to Walk a Day in my Old Shoes...

So alright, I figured I should give a little info about myself...for people who dont know me and for those who have forgotten me lol.


My name is Drew, I'm in my early 20s and still in college/uni (depending on where you live). I'm going into my senior year this fall and while I'm sick of schooling and uni I don't think i'm really ready to move on to working my whole life, mainly because I don't know what I want to do with my life. I once had an older friend tell me that the early 20s are the worst years in a persons life because of this. But oh well, I'll survive.

Right now I'm going to school to be a teacher, physical education to be exact. Its not that I want to be a "gym" teacher but I love coaching, especially soccer (football, whatever :p). I played soccer throughout my first few years of uni and then got an injury that forced me to sit out a season, so I decided to get a job coaching at my old high school. I loved it and knew I wanted to do that for the rest of my life. Unfortunately there isnt a ton of strictly coaching jobs out there so here I am as a physical education student. While going to school I added a concentration in Adaptive PE which is working with special needs students and children with disabilities. I really enjoy this as well, even if it takes a little more patience, its very rewarding.

I'm also really into music. I taught myself to play drums when I was around 5 years old. I can also play piano, and a little guitar. I have played in a few bands, one of which was mildly successful and toured a bit.

I'm bi. I've dated both guys and girls. Right now I am currently single, but still have some feelings for one guy I already dated and have feelings for another I have no history with. I'm sure I'll go into a little history of me with guys and girls at some point so I wont get into it now. I'm not out, but I wouldnt deny it if someone asked me. I'm not very feminine or anything and I'm really into sports, so most people just assume. I'm not sure if I will ever be out, it depends on what my career is, because sports and physical education isn't really gay friendly for guys. But thats something that I'll worry about when the time comes...

I care a lot about people. I tend to put my friends before myself a lot. I most likely trust too easily and care too much, but I firmly believe in treating everyone with respect, unless they do something to lose that respect. I've been called "the nice guy" but really I'm just being myself.

I have one tattoo and will probably get another one this summer. No piercings. I love watching movies, cooking, and learning random stuff. I've recently gotten back into reading books. I like to have a good time and can be a goof. I'm not afraid to make a fool out of myself for a good laugh or a story.

I am myself, I wont be fake and figure that you can make a decision on if you like me or not rather than me trying to be something I'm not to get you to like me. :)

if theres anything else you want to know, just ask... i'll answer most things :p

And thank you to the people who are following me and those who wished me a happy birthday yesterday :)

All Your Love is Just a Dream, Dream, Dream

Ok, so I'll explain the new title to my blog, since many believe I've become emo or something (no more than before haha).

One of my favorite bands is the Counting Crows. The past 5 summers I've seen them live, and I'm bummed that they aren't coming anywhere near here this summer (unless things change). One of my favorite, if not my overall favorite, songs by them is "A Murder of One." It was released on their first album "August and Everything After" back in 1993, so I think thats a little pre-emo haha. But I didnt just pick it because I liked the song and thought it sounded cool, I picked it because of two main, deeper reasons...

I've been watching you for hours.
It's been years since we were born.
We were perfect when we started...
I've been wondering where we've gone.

The first is that if you read the lyrics to the song, its about a guy who is in love with a girl who he was in a relationship with at some point, but the girl is now with another guy. And that pretty much sums up and fits perfectly how i feel for a someone right now, but i think thats another post.

There's a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin.
Yeah, when you open up your wings to speak
I wish you'd let me in.

The second is kind of a second meaning to the title. The song was written by the Counting Crows, and a group of Crows is a "murder." So a murder of one takes on a whole new "loner" meaning.

I'm not a loner, but I don't mind being alone. I often don't throw my feelings out to others especially friends because I dont really want to burden them. I will however always be their for them. Its just the way I am and I dont think I can really change. Its probably not the healthiest for me, but it works for now.

So there, that pretty much sums up the new name for everyone, and I'll post a youtube video of the song below this if you want to listen to the song.
