It's a quote from the song you'll see below. It sums up how I've been feeling whenever I said I was lonely.
"Sometimes when sailors are sailing they
think twice about where they're anchoring and
I think I could make better use of my time on land.
I'd drink less 'cause Lord knows I could use a
warm kiss instead of a cold goodbye.
I'm writing the folks back home to tell them,
'Hey, I'm... I'm doing alright!'
Yeah, I'm doing just fine!
And if she seems as lonely as me let her sink."
Also, I just now realized that winning a competition for Beechwood now is nothing like it was when I was in. We won Grant County the Breakout year. People actually cried because they were so happy. That season went like that the whole time. We placed one better at each competition and after getting Reserve Grand Champion at Lloyd (the night when John punched Stephanie) I predicted Grant as a win. I just don't think it means the same to them now. I mean, do you realize there are now kids in the Beechwood band who have never come in below grand champion? I actually feel sorry for the rookies. I know what it's like to march with only 31 other people and not make finals. I think that's why I really, truly valued going to state finals and why I gave out hugs with tears in my eyes when we first won Midstates. None fell out, but it's been a while since I've been emotionally moved like that.

wow. way back when when I was in marching band (7th and 8th grade) I thought i hated it all. But when I left beechwood for notre dame god did i miss it. I lost a lot of contact with most people.. and looking back I wish I could have somehow stayed in band... however, no way in HELL was i going to take anymore of the other fuckers that went there.
I feel ya cameron... if i'd stayed and stayed in band.. going from tiny band that never won to decent sized and actually winning once and a while I would probably feel the same way. god do I miss marching band. rookie year was one of the best memories of my life. Just wish I could do it all again.
