Coolest. Thing. Ever. One of my guitar students (Crews Boyette) wrote a book about me and it was published at his school and everything. He gave me a copy and it's my favorite book, EVER. It's called "Guitar Hero." Crazy delicious artwork and phrasing. So yes. Gotta run.

Amazing news... theketchupwalrus.com is finally up. There's going to be some substance to it soon, but yeah, bookmark it. Make it your friend. Start the habit of clicking on that link everyday. There's even going to be some yummy merch stuff. Yeah. Other than that.... have a nice day.

Hey everyone, it's Jesse. I apologize for not letting everyone know sooner, but I've made it onto the '07-'08 " Sounds of Liberty " team at Liberty Univeristy. I haven't announced until now because I wanted to make sure that those who had been constantly asking about it and praying for me knew first. But I do thank all of you for your prayers and support in this. Continue to pray for me and Kevin as we head up to Lynchburg at the end of summer. I'll give updates occasionally on myspace. Thanks again for the support!
Oh, and Hey Joe! now has a friendster account. So if you have one, add us, and tell your friends about us... and stuff.
4.9.07
The Amazingly Fizzy Badgers now have a myspace. This is yet another of Jesse's random side projects. If you like bizarre, you'd probably like avacado lollipops... but if you like bad music that's improvised.... yeah. Check them out.
3.31.07
Jesse would like to make it official that he doesn't care whether you have more friends than he does. Hahaha. He says to please stop sending him threats and start sending him cheese puffs of some sort. That would be great. Thank you.
In other news... Jesse's other band " Hey Joe! " posted up a video of last Wednesday night. You should probably go there and check it out. Or not. Your choice.
P.S. New FAQ stuff posted.
3.29.07
As of March 29, Jesse will no longer be the person checking his myspace. He spent 30 minutes straight just sorting through friend requests and has hired me to check it for him from now on. So remember, your private messages to him may not even reach him. But he thanks everyone for their support and says to keep the requests and messages coming. Thanks.
3.28.07
I hate that I had to do it, but I took down the frappr map thing. There were some extremely innappropriate postings.... but yeah. Too bad some people have to ruin things for others.

Faith.

I was talking with Kevin tonight and something hit me. Something I said that I had never really thought about until it left my mouth. How often do I take time to thank God for His love? None of us are...
