I’m not dead

Posted on 11.27.04 5:24PM in family, music

I’m currently writing from the toasty second bedroom of my grandparent’s house in Clayton, Georgia. Right now, it’s a balmy 42 degrees Fahrenheit outside and I couldn’t be happier to be indoors for once. My return to civilization as we know it in the smaller latitudes won’t come too soon.

The one thing that’s made this endeavor into the frigid recesses of the boonies is my long-awaited 40 gigabyte Apple iPod. I had been storing my meager funds ever since my car insurance had been payed off for the year. The “iPod Fund’s” initial contribution was my final paycheck from my job at the daycare this summer, but not much was added since, due primarily to a lack of resources.

My parents, being the divinely wonderful people they are, went ahead and satisfied my two-year longing with the arrival of the twenty fourth of November (my brother, Ian, was also instrumental in the planting of the iPod seed within their minds); twenty three hours of song transfer later, I had roughly twenty days of music to entertain myself with during this arduous pilgrimage to the north. It is the most fun you can have with your pants on and your blender off.

Even so, I can’t wait to be home tomorrow.

    To all of Casey’s loyal fans…

    I would like to be the first to say that my brother Casey is a fine human being. Whether it’s helping little kids at Christmastide or devoting entire days to assisting migrant workers in need, my brother always proves helpful and courteous.

    As such, I should hope that he will receive the recognition that he deserves this Christmas season. While he is usually selfless and humble, a little encouragement would go a long way.

    So when you see him in the halls or on the street, pat him on the back and say, “Good job, little buddy! Way to go!” When that gets boring (or if it just weirds you out) you can substitute a “You da man!” or a “Jolly good show!”

    In any case, give credit where credit is due.

    Casey Peterson—humanitarian—philanthropist—friend. A man for all seasons. A man of many talents.
