ive been back since sunday, but i just havent taken the effort to update. well i am now though! i gotta get back into the swing of things! Florida ruled. i went on so many rides and it wasnt as crowded as i thought it would be. except for new year's eve day. let's put it this way, we waited in line 1 hour.......just for a freakin bakery! and the bathroom lines were sooo long as well. but it was still fun. lfo performed on new year's eve and they were sooooo lame. one of the dude's was like "yo even if you have our cd buy another one!" um pathetic yes. it was warm the last few days so i got to wear shorts and that made me happy. there were blue skies every day, and it didnt rain once! not even a sprinkle. im glad to be back though. its so tiring you go to sleep at like 2am every nite and then you're up again at 630 the next morning to do it all over again. i swear i must have walked 100 miles the whole week ( no exagerration! )

and now for some sad sad news. last nite, at 11pm....one of tyler's bestest friends passed away. he was 15 years old and his name is paul. its some sort of genetic thing, i guess it happened to his dad too...but last week he collapsed cos he had a heart attack and aneurism. he was in a coma for a week...but last nite they opted to 'unplug' him, as he was literally braindead. please please please everyone pray for paul's family, tyler, and anyone close to them. even if you don't pray, think of them....send them peace......i wish i could be there so much, i will on thursday, but last nite i needed to be there more than ever, to give a shoulder to cry on. i couldnt help but cry too. i even talked to paul once on the phone.......and he seriously came across as one of the nicest people ever. i was really looking forward to meeting him. after this devastating news, i realized i can't leave him on tues. i have to be with him longer, so im staying til mon the 17th. it will be best for the both of us. ***rest in peace paul, fly with the angels who love you...........***
