Walking around Duluth Minnesota, the weather is much better. It felt good to get some fresh air. Growing up in Ohio, I kinda got it. We used to travel up into Northern Michigan and that's where the fresh air is. Not a single town for nearly 12 miles. That is craziness. Here, though, the air reminds me of Michigan. Heck, the whole scenery reminds me of Petosky, specifically speaking. There's a hill with churches, restaurants, people walking around, antique shops and pawn shops. The water is clear and cold. Fresh breeze coming off the Great Lake. It's nice here. Along with these gems, there's a little one that I usually try to find, or rather it finds me.
A local Chinese Restaurant. I found a place just down the road from Duluth Trading Co. and it is tasty..wow! I usually order some General Tso's and this General Tso's is delicious. The chicken tastes like actual chicken, the fried outside, is actually fried outside and the sauce is amazing.
Don't get me started on the fried rice. It's actually fried. Not that yellow stuff you usually get. There's bits of chicken in it. It's amazing. There are little bits of onions too. They just add to the flavor.
I got two egg rolls too. They are your standard egg roll, but even the outside is a bit different. I recumbent going to this place. I don't want to give out the name, but if you ever find yourself in Duluth Minnesota (might I suggest going between now and september) make sure you stop by this place. It's across from the casino right in downtown Duluth.
I have to go. We play two shows tonight. It's about a mile walk to get there. I'll write more tonight.
Have some chinese food if you can. Why not? Have some tea or some coke with it. Or just water or even coffee. It's all good together.
You won't regret it.

Love
Love. It's a funny thing. It's a sad thing. It's a personal thing.
I can love a special kind of food or a genre of music. I can love a place thats scenic or warm. I can love a woman. I can even, be loved by God.
I am loved by so many people. I am blessed.
I remember the first time I stared into my girlfriends eyes. They were beautiful then and even more beautiful today. I remember seeing her smile. I even remember the first hug. That was long before the first kiss, which I obviously remember. I remember feeling a sense of happiness. Peace. I remember feeling a sense of, home. Right there, she was it. My heart knew that she was 'The One'.
We are taught that we will know when it's the one. I never truly believed it but by God, is it true. I KNEW she was the one.
God has taught me to love. Guided through my parent's teachings, I learned to care about people who were close to me. I learned to nurture and think things through. I learned the right words to say, which I still have a problem knowing from time to time. I'm learning, and the Lord knows that.
Over the past year, I have grown closer to my faith. I have my girlfriend to thank for that. The Lord does wonders. He brought us together along with a million other things. I know he wouldn't leave us hanging now. I pray for people who don't know him. I pray that there will be healing in their life. I pray they find success through The Lord. God is amazing. I'm sad for people who don't know his love.
I sit here in my hotel room. It's going to be 64 degrees fahrenheit tomorrow. That's about 18 degrees celsius. I am excited, since it's been 32 or 0 degrees this whole week. As I was saying, I sit here in my hotel room and I am so thankful for all that He has given me.
I am very blessed. I pray to you guys, you are as well. :)

Apple Watch Thoughts
Apple just released their new device for preorder today. And, surprise: it's sold out. It took 6 hours to do so. There are so many reviews saying everything and anything. They talk about the screen, they talk about the OS, they talk about the apps...but they are not talking about the most important information. The fact that it can tell time to an amazing degree.
Really, you may overlook this feature, but it's incredibly important. We as a culture rely on time. We don't just meet for lunch, we meet for lunch at 12 noon. We don't just watch World News Tonight, We Watch World News Tonight at 6 pm. We don't just go into work anytime we want, unless you're Tim or someone really cool, we have a set time when we must be there. Since some of us use watches, we naturally rely on them. For the other part of us, we rely on our phones. Why? It is because the time is precise. It's accurate. We never have to worry about it. The fact that there is a watch that is this accurate is pretty awesome.
I travel all over the place. I constantly change time zones and I can tell you it's a pain in the butt to pull the crown out, spin it, match it up and then push it back in. If I'm lucky, the time won't change. Sometimes, though, my finger spins and it causes the hands to move ahead or back by 5 or 10 minutes. So I have to repeat the process, hoping the hands don't move due to my faulty motor skills. Even if I get it right, it could be a minute off or so. All of this could be avoided, though, by having a watch that sets itself. And it's perfectly synchronized with the rest of the world. No worries. If you think one minute isn't that much to worry about, picture this: if you are a big fan of The Walking Dead, try missing the first minute of a new episode. How about the last minute of a new episode. Yeah..I bet it's pretty important now.
Sure the watch isn't round like the Moto360. It may only work with iPhones. It's a watch and nobody wears them anymore. Even Tim Cook said a few years back that there is nothing he could do to make a teenager wear a watch. That's why they are not targeting the teen. They are marketing this thing as a high end watch. People are saying '$350 for a smart watch? pshhhh' It's not just a smart watch. It's a High end time piece. That's how Apple is marketing it and that's what it truly has. No other High end watch does what the Apple Watch does.
For this, I am excited about. I may or may not get this generation. I wish there was a leather band for the sport black model. I wouldn't get anything else because I have such bad luck with watch faces. The sapphire screen would break in a heartbeat for me.
Really though...this this is first and foremost a watch and it it does it brilliantly.
