Wow, so much has happened since the last time I post. Have you ever thought you were the only sane person, haha. Yeah, it's hard to find sanity sometimes in this crazy world. Support is such a good thing to give. So give your friends that this Christmas.... support, and love.

  Hey guys, it's been a long time. I might not post so much anymore.... But yeah, so I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and it was AMAZING!!!
 
So I've learned a lot about being quiet and listening lately... I've become even more introspective... it's fun, God's really blessing me through it!

Music stuff is going good. You know though, as far as me wanting to go into music production, sometimes I think I have my family's support  , but a lot of the time I really don't. I dunno, but no matter what all these people are saying they just don't understand, yeah, I have a lot of oppertunities and there's so much I could do, but music the only thing I enjoy doing and that I could really do everyday for a career... They're just convinced I won't always think that... *sigh*

 Yeah, this year has been stressful, I've really had to rely on God's help just to cope with everything. It's a good thing because I was starting to ignore Him. I've really had to lean close to Him lately cuz I just really don't have friends at school that I can grow with spiritually. It's really frusterating at times because it makes me feel desperately alone in the world... but I think God's really helping me along. Mrs. D said some things to me about my future that were just REALLY encouraging. So I think I'm going to (after this year....) make sure I get smaller academic loads and take on less activities at the same time... I'm gonna really take leisure time to be with the people that I can really grow with and converse with.

  Hey guys, whatcha doin' in the back?! lol Yeah so the variety show was grand.... yeah fun times!  I'm glad it's over though honestly, it was fun but I'm glad to be done, too. Some of us went to IHOP afterwords, very fun, intereting conversations, decent coffee, and premade cheesecake that took like an hour to come out of the kitchen. Fun stuff...

  Pretty sure there was a car on fire in the parking lot this morning, really stinks!! That's so sad....

  It's weird how highschool is.... it's weird how friends are too... I don't know, people are pretty strange... Ne who...

  Man I love performing! MY GOODNESS!!! I can't think of anywhere I rather be than on a stage! Sometimes I guess with people who don't know me very well I seem quiet but I'm REALLY not, I just don't have anything to say... and being on stage helps me express myself more than anything else. I'm still learning how to fully express myself with singing though... like now I have pretty decent stage presence when I play drumset, I really get into... but singing.... it's different, just like soloing on drumset or improv. it's like a little glimps into my soul.... I guess it just makes me feel really vulnerable right now, I hope to remedy that soon though.

  Gloria Patri,
     Nathan

Yeah, pretty sure this is pretty much awesome! Thanks Nathan, you're a genius.

 So yeah, pretty sure Lisa has an AMAZING voice and ear for music! My gosh, Lisa, that's the first time I actually heard you sing.

Pretty sure my life is pretty awesome! Yeah, Jesus is very good.

We have processed the data and concluded after heavy consideration that you must be a

Watermelon: You are left handed and attract people readily. You have a dog named Krusty and you be successfuly, happy and famous - oh wait, that's me!

If you don't like being this soda, change your life, try the test again and cheat this time so you get the answer you want.

Yeah, but sometimes I forget that and like to think that I know better.... haha.... it's been one of those times for a long time.... but I'm tryin' to listen now and shut up so I can hear him. He's had to give me a couple good kicks though.....

So life is most excellent... and I'm reverting back to my old self. Or rather I'm finally moving forward. So if I seem better, hopefully God's making me better.

So I'm actually beginning to enjoy MYO. The music more fun to listen to then play but lol. My new nickname (according to Ella...) is Annie Bojangles.... lol. See for one peice Mrs. Mullen called me Annie Oakley cuz I played something that sounded like a gunshot and in another she called me Mr. Bojangles becuz of tamborine.... fun stuff...

Really want to meet some new people this week and get to know some friends better.... there's so much to go thoguh with my friends and I wanna get to know every1 much better!

God bless

sometimes i wonder what life would be like if this or that had happened, but i realize it doesnt matter cause its in the past. still... have you ever wondered if other people even realize the world is the way it is? do you ever wonder what its like to dissappear? have you ever wished you could? have you ever wished everone would forget your existance and you could just vanish? how many friends would REALLY be with you through thick or then?

My goodness! I tend to forget what talented 2nd causins I have until I see them perform. My goodness, Jennifer has the best voice and Jeff is SO talented with a guitar or madolin. Ha, so it was at this coffee house at University of the South, and it started raining half way through the concert (which was outside) so they had to move inside. So Jennifer went in and sang and played for them and me and Mike helped Jeff back up the equipment. GREAT FUN, good coffee, FANTASTIC music, and even better relatives! Great fun!

Ps: Read yesterday's post!

"To know God and yet nothing of our own wretched state breeds pride; to realize our misery and yet know nothing of God is mere despair; but if we come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ we find our true equilibrium, for there we find both human misery and God." - Blaise Pascal

"Awe of God so basic to our lives. Without it, we live unhappily, unaware that God can make such a vast difference to us. Living without awe of God is like living as a beggar, when instead we could live in the kings palace as the heir. Our sense of awe wakes up when we begin to take notice of the mysteries of life. We begin to see that life is too wast and mysterious to be flattened into cheap explainations." - James Houston, Pursuit of Happiness

"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete lacking in nothing." - James 1: 2-4

Now I'm sunny with a high of 75, since you took my heavy heart and made it light!!!

So I promised myself to start writing like I used to on hear, my tohughts, poems, song lyrics, short stories, but I can't, I forgot what I was gonna say.... lol

But I promise, I really did have something worth saying at one time....

But yeah I'm really starting to want to go to school man! Totally, I feel like such a square.... I've just been workin..... at my mom's school and stuff.... but I don't mind so much, and when I'm outside I love it, but I miss my friends a lot....

Ok, lol, you ALL missed this! I didn't say "goober", I said :

"Music, it's like a small glimps into heaven... like what you see when you look out the window, ya know, you can't see all of it, heck you can hardly see any of it, but it's still that little bit that comforts you, reminds you there's something else other than right now... so I guess that makes me a window...."

I thought it was cheesy. Lol.

And for those of you who haven't heard or have and want to know why, I had to drop out of band. It has just become too much of a commitment for me with all the other music stuff I'm involved in. But if you wanna talk more about it you can call me cuz I got my phone back fixed! Yay!
