Joe's Birthday!

Yes indeed fair avalon readers... it is joes day of birth today, but he's out in the boondocks somewhere for a while with his family. I just thought that it is important to signify this important day. of course, he's still going to recieve the birthday beat down when he gets back. Alright. Here is a picture for him. Happy Birthday JOE!!

Anyway, things are all quiet on the western front. Not alot of hub bub and todosies but it's great. I am completely enjoying break. Alright.

The question is... How are you doing today? Good? Good!, (if not good, then I hope your day gets better.)

Merry Christmas

We wish all of friends and family a Merry Merry Christmas from the Heart of Avalon to all of your homes. Let today be a time where you can enjoy your families company and rest in the fact that Christ was born today. So we are on break and it has been amazing. As Bruiser wrote earlier we have been having a great time in Santa Rosa with many friends coming over to visit and some mad recording going down. There was also an exciting event consisting of a raccoon and some rakes and my garage. Anyway it was a little messy but the result was the raccoon vacated the garage. It was intense. So this is short but that's ok. Have a Merry Christmas and don't forget to wish Joe a happy birthday on friday the 28th.

Home again home again...

Ellow, all you avid avalon readers. thanks for tuning in. Joe Cabalka still hasn't posted so I decided to go ahead of him on this one. As you all know the quarter is done for all those at Cal Poly, unfortunately cuesta is still in session. An apology to Joe mo and evan, poor chaps, they are taking finals while I am sleeping in till ten and doing absolutely nothing except relaxing all day. Sooooo, you might be asking yourselves, what do college kids do in the off time? That is a great question. Lets see, Keith is busy recording with Pat and Danny of the Pat Little Band, Joe C. is most likely hanging out and cherishing time with his family from Africa at the lovely beach house. I...Matt, have been keeping busy hanging out with old friends, creating the "Brotherhood" (just ask for details) and shopping for various things. Its great not to have to worry about tests and homework and class. In the mean time I am still dreaming about sailing off into the vast horizon. Oh yeah, the shaka steak house was a wonderful time of friends and food and some basketball... the santa rosa crew cleaned house. What what?? All those who attend were Keith, the master cheif, his bro mike and wife, a musical genious name Patrick Little, a stud muffin named Danny Kim, and some lovely ladies by the names of Brianne , Meagan, Bethany, Renee? and Amanda. All in all it was a great time...

Some good news... I didn't fail my Fundamentals of Corporate Finance class... Seriously a miracle from the Lord. That feels like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders and I can stand up straight...

Yesterday I went out and bought a pair of non prescription glasses so I can look smart for class next quarter. My plan is that the professor will see me and my glasses, assume I am smart, and give me a grade accordingly. I'm excited to see how it will work next quarter...

In all seriousness, so far this break has been a great opportunity to take a giant step back from life; to get away from all the distractions that can fog my view of it, such as girls, school, money (or lack thereof)... I am excited to see what the Lord will teach me this break. Sometimes it is easy to fall into a lazy habit of not being in the Word and praying while on break and it is my hope the all the boys from the heart of avalon will be able to press forward in our walks with God; to come back built up and refreshed to take on the next quarter of challenges...

By the way, I love using this... at the end of each paragraph...

Alrioght folks, I wish yee a merry Christmas. Enjoy this random picture...

Christmas, Tea, and Celebrations

I come to all with great apology for not updating you with the events and happenings at the heart of avalon. As you can imagine, this time of year is absolutley crazy. In a few short days we will find out whether or not our last minute studying paid off to get the grade or not. As we look ahead to the coming days we are terrified for the fact that we all have finals starring us down the barrel of the gun. We as men must stand firm and take the hard hit. I'm imagining it to feel somewhat like getting hit by a train.
I don't even know where to begin, so I will start with this past week we had our second Christmas themed tea at the heart. Our guests have really seemed to grasp hold of wednesday night tea time. It has been our pleasure to host tea at the heart this past quarter and we are eagerly awaiting the start of winter quarter to kick off tea at the heart off again. What I have enjoyed a lot these past few weeks is getting to enjoy our family Christmas tree and spreading Christmas cheer for all to hear. Since thanksgiving break we have been blasting the Christmas music and all the wonderful carols. We are all very excited to head home at the end of this week and enjoy our families and the celebrate Christmas holiday, but we also don't want to forget the reason for this season.
This past weekend has been pretty much out of control. I turned 21 yesterday, which was a great thing. To start it off Thursday night; Meagan, Lauren, Alexa, Angela, Bethany, and Jenn made me the coolest cake I have ever seen in my life. It was three layers thick and consisted of a layer of lemon, fun-fetti, and chocolate cake. I'm pretty sure that it was about 20lbs. After having some amazing cake I headed over to Carley's house and got the festivities started. We ventured downtown to bring in the 21st with style. I was able to enjoy several different types of drinks, some were good and others I don't even want to think about ever again. So I stumbled home at the wee hours of the night and was woken up early by pat and was taken over to Meagan's house for another great meal and a full awesome breakfast. After eating to our hearts content, we went and played some football and took way too many pictures with Buddy, my new camera. That evening my bro and his new awesome wife come to visit and again we hit the bars. After being at the bars for quite some time I realized there are really gross drinks out there. I don't know what i'm writing about anymore. Have a great week.
Until next time-Keith

Sorry Folks

Keith needs to post a blog because it has been his turn to blog for about two weeks and he's being really lazy about it... I think to myself... All these people, hundreds of people who are so dependent on our lives and what we do, who care sooo much that they are just on the edge of their seats waiting to see what will happen next are very dissapointed right now... Don't worry folks, I'll get on it. Keith will blog, then Joe will blog, then it will be my turn again, if not, then I'll keep on blogging, and it will be called the heart of Matt. So, faithful readers, all one hundred thousand million of you, don't you worry, more blogs and pictures will come soon. If not, then you can punch me in the face. ahahahahahahahahahahaha. Okay, peace outty. Look at this picture of me dancing.
