I just got this really inspiring e-mail from a 'fan'. It was so great that I just needed to post it up here.

recently i have had the pleasure to listen and live by the album titled
"The world after April" by the artist hastheboyfallen. Where am i now can
be described as a hellofuncertainpathsofjoy. one very special decision making
night in my life hastheboyfallen was there. i mad a decision that night between
touring and helping the band Complicate, that i work for, or being able to
go out of town and see the one person i have ever fallen in love with who
i hadn't seen in over a year. hastheboyfallen was there for me as i got really
stoned sitting on my bed with a pad of paper and a pen. it played loud as
i shook profuselly nervous and not sure of myself or what decision i had
to make. the only thing i could do is sing "sometimes we just want to wear
black, armbands" and get so fucking into it. I made my decision and began
to write, i made career choice and decided that i had to go with the band
this weekend. I started to write to her as i sang "bright eyes, and dreamy
perceptions...". tears falled from my face as i wrote the most emotion poem/love
note i have ever wrote in my life thinking about "sometimes i whish i wasn't
so alone." hasaboyfallen has become a big part of my life everyday. i need
it, its just a part of me now. thank you for that
i need to see hastheboyfallenlive soon, i live in fredonia at the time being
but its necessary to see you perform live , come around here and rock

-strauss


I'll try and get a show out in Fredonia. That would rock!

A marine recruiter called me today. I was home alone. I had come home early from college because I had an exam for my last class and finished early. I was supposed to go to work. When I got home there was no one there, I guess they went to the mall. Anyway, I told him I'm opposed to war and he asked me if I'm opposed to military. WHAT!?!?!?! If I'm opposed to war why wouldn't I be opposed to military? What do I expect the military to do, just make a bunch of bombs that they'll never use and train and occationally accidentally bomb Canada and the Red Cross?!?!?! Anyway, he shut up pretty quick, but he asked me if there was anyone else who he should talk to. I paused a minute, pretending I was pondering, and then politely said, "No, I don't think so." The whole conversation was very cordial. I have nothing against the man. I'm sure he's probably very nice, unless he's the one yelling in the faces of the kids doing push-ups or scrubbing the floor with their toothbrushes. He said he was a General or something. Since when are Generals calling my house. Don't they have something better to do like figure out how many Iraqi children it's okay to kill and still say they've "taken every precaution." I guess military people don't want war though. Why would they? They don't want to risk their lives. I know most soldiers hope they can get their reserve time in and then go to school on the GI Bill. Anyway, that brings me to an interesting article: http://argument.independent.co.uk/commentators/story.jsp?story=333275
