| I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive. I made it back to Canada without and plane crashes, although once I got to the border things went down hill from there, they found out I was in the states for so long and I was immediately arrested and thrown in jail, it was terrible, awful really, I was checked out by a large man whom I could only assume the called bubba, but he ended up being very kind and simply misunderstood. After spending six months in prison… I mean ah… a night… oh now… well now everyone knows you’re a big fat liar… it was an accident though… well you may as well tell the truth now… alright alright. Well my flight went perfectly smooth, from take off to landing. As we approached Toronto we broke through the clouds and we were directly overtop of beautiful blue Lake Ontario. I landed and God more the blessed my customs experience, the man was very kind and in a good mood. My mom picked me up and I went home, I am unpacked settled in and just finished my first day of work. Things are strange and I miss everyone so much. I just want one more hug, but I know it wouldn’t be enough. Well I know this is just another step in my journey and soon I will once again be doing something I love, so for now I will just love what I’m doing. Be blessed each one of you. Know that you will be in my prayers and I miss you. Jonathon | | |

Well the
time has finally come, I knew it would, in fact I hoped it would come sooner
then it did, but that was a long time ago. It’s funny the way things work, these
thirty six people of which I never thought I would even get along with, have
somehow become my family. Sometimes I don’t know what to do with so much family
all over the place. I know I have a million and one homes anywhere I want to
go, when all I really want is one home, one family and a million and one places
to go with them. I know I will miss it, every single piece of this tour. From, “Denny’s!!!
They’re always open!”, to “To the underworld, to the underworld”, to the wonderful
singing voices coming from the center of the bus, to the all out brawls that
would explode and yes even the PA… cringe
Every
little thing that happened this year holds a special place in my heart, I know I
could never have made it without our Lord Jesus Christ (poke forehead,
shoulder, shoulder, sternum) and some of the most amazing people I have ever
met. Each person on my team has had an impact on my life and has forever
changed the way I look at life. However great or small I will never forget that
you guys are my family.
Well I guess
its not completely over yet, there is still a little time, before I go back to
the home I know the least, I am excited and scared, but hey if life wasn’t
exciting and scary, it really wouldn’t be life now would it.

| Well it all started in San Diego CA when i realized i would be working
with... well lets just say... ... ... ... ya them. Well when we finally
got to setting up the wall, the guys i was working with decided it was
best to not listen to my spacific instuctions on holding the top heavy
wall... the back heavy wall... the tp and back heavy wall... oh and let
me reitterate, the TOP AND BACK HEAVY WALL!!!!!. the decided the should
put extra weight on the top and back.
i turned around just in time to see $25 000 worth of LED Wall
fall to the ground and smash, knocking one box into the next sending a
2K box with a potential $48 000 inside. at this point i realized i
would soon be burned at the stake, yet somehow i survive.
during load out when i was at the exact same piont as loadin and
we had two pieces of the wall left, one of my stage hands was using a
knife to cu E-tape and got a little slice happy and cut the motor
cable, completely destroying the $2000 motor control leaving our
lighting rig stuck 30 feet in the air, yet using our ingenious minds...
ok Brad's ingenious mind, we were still able to close truck at 12:30
and that was after loosing a good 50 minutes of loadout time... ah one
last chance to get it right... PLEASE GOD!!!

| This is dedicated to Mallory and Cassandra for all the times you've helped me. Well the other day I think I finally broke through. You see I have always had a hard time crying, not because I’m afraid to, it just never comes. well I’ve been visiting Daniel Holt my best friend in the whole wide world and I think all these years have finally gotten to me. I have helping him at work because his brother was sick and about an hour into the day I just broke down. I couldn't stop crying, I must have looked like an idiot, but I didn't care, I just cried and cried and cried. I didn't even know why. but hey I think it was really good for me. so anyway I really wanted to thank Mallory and Cassandra for always raging me last year to "let it out" know that all of your pushing has not been in vain... he he he... chuckle chuckle chuckle... >
