Have you ever heard the song Peace of Mind by Boston? Cause that's the only song that's been running through my head the last couple days. Well, that and the other million Boston songs that I've heard.

Things have been ok, even though I guess today has just been an off day for me. I feel kind of distant today- I probably need to get more sleep. Sleep is good. Clearly, since its almost 5 and I'm still awake, I am not going to get enough sleep tonight. I watched 2 movies tonight, Flight of the Phoenix and Blue Streak. The first was a dud, and the second one was enjoyable. I wore my new shoes today, which was pretty exciting for me. Ah, the small pleasures of life.

Lt. Dan Riordan, who was a rolemodel and leader of mine, died in Iraq recently. The loss of his life has really brought it home to me in a way I hadn't understood before. I pray for the safety of all servicemen, that they will return home to their families. We will all miss Dan's enthusiasm for giving everything for his country.
