Apologies my dear friends for the lack of post-age lately. Gellie's excuse would be that postage stamps are too expensive these days. Since working for Switchfoot has made me a millionaire and all, I can't use that excuse. Okay, jokes apart, it's just that we've been away, without much internet access. I was at a picturesque hill-station with some friends - full of breathtaking moments... including one that threatened to literally take our breaths away, on the way up there. So thankful that I'm alive. That someone's still here to write this blog. That you're still there to read it. That my fingers somehow know which key to hit to produce these symbols that somehow represent the words in my mind, turning them into sentences full of meaning, that leap off a screen halfway around the globe, and through your eyes, fill your brain. With the same words, meanings and ideas. All in a matter of seconds, driven by 1's and 0's. Mere symbols. But so powerful. There's really just too much to be thankful for.

So while I was away, my buddy Hailey (who was at the Del Mar Fair show, and who I'm thankful for) reported that Jon was up to some extra-terrestrial behavior. Good thing she caught it on tape, and found an ET picture to compare:





So now you know - it's not a joke when we say Jon is from outer-space.

Postage may be sparse for the rest of this month due to other projects (and heightened extra-terrestrial activity, of course), but come August, we should be back on elephant feet. August has always been good to me. Especially the 3rd.

hola.

    you know. your next big idea to get more fams involved would be taking them on your spaceship with you. Now that's even better than a cowbell.

    ok, so hes Houdini AND hes from outerspace...I've seen both sides of Jon. But, no matter what..hes so adorable and yes, breathtaking is a good word, sigh. I have a picture of him on "my-space" where he appeared up in the balcony (P~town Oregon)right next to ME.. I swear he came out of no-where. I about passed out, but I got a good picture :} AND met with him and the guys after words. A nite I will treasure.

    You just never can tell about people...

    Nice post phil. I enjoyed your thoughts at the beginning. I envy your incredible talent when it comes to expressing yourself. My thoughts always seem to get stuck somewhere between my brain and my mouth (or fingers in this case).

    That may be the funniest thing I have ever seen... lol!


    One of my best friends is terrified of ET, and I happen to have an ET stuffed toy that always seems to end up in her car/bed/shower...

    I'm so mean. lol

    ^ was drew bored? was he being mean? or was he secretly doing that so it could make it into the podcast so we could all hear that clip?

    if #3, he's good

    @ Anonymous - I'm sure he was just being silly. Tim was talking and Drew just looked up and noticed that the camera was pointed at him, so he started foolin' around. it was very funny. :)
