Well, I'm at my dad's house... Yup, and I'm DYING to play drums! My rists actually started hurting yesterday from lack of playing so I've found a practice pad and sticks and I've been workin' on guitar stuff with my dad (for those of you who don't know before the divorce he was an AMAZING guitarist...).

So yeah, I'm ready to be home and I'm ready to see friends but other than at RYM and band camp I'm not goin' to get to do that till school starts (ick) but in a way I'm ready for school to start again, just gotta finish that darn Ethan Frome....

Music is good..... mmmmmm mmmmmm.....

Ps: Has anyone else noticed that you can't put apostrophe's on certain things, like the title (see above...)

Heh heh, mah title makes me think of ents....

so yeah, I had the first thing go wrong with my braces, a lil o-ring fell off the bracket, big woop...

Yep, my week so far hasn't been much of anything... and yeah... then goin' to my dad's at the end.... oh boy....

It's not that I don't like him or nething, I mean, he's MY DAD, but.... he's just a strange guy.... and now with their kid... yeah... don't get me wrong, in the past 4 years or so I've learned to love kids but.... just don't like havin' them push "oh he's your brother blah blah blah".... maybe biologically and legally, but not ne other way yet.... I suppose he might become a Christian than he'd be my brother in an even deeper sense of the word... but....

One of the coolest things I've ever heard (and fully agree with) about a sound check!

"You need to have a really good sound check everywhere you go. It's not just sound checking. It's about being part of a tradition of musicians and realizing why you're there. You can go through nutty things that you wouldn't normally go through in your life, SUV's blocking fire lanes so you can't get in, kids surrounding the car and they can't get hurt. Therefore your sound check is your grounding. Talk about a get out of jail free card, a free roll, a free spin. Collect 500 dollars, not just two. It's where you reclaim your soul and remember you're a musician."
-Tori Amos, in an interviex with Keyboard magazine (July 2005, page 26)

You know how sometimes while you're livin' life you just start thinkin' way too much of yourself, what you know, how good you are... ya know... But then somthing ironic happens and you're reminded how you are just a lil piece of trash compared to Christ... WOW... how awesome! He really is the only one you can depend on to be good enough.... nothing's all that good lol. Isn't God interesting?

Everyone knows Cory and Topanga the star couple of the show "Boy Meets World". I always wished I had my own Topanga... Someone I had known since infancy who I knew better than anyone else. I wanted someone I could love my entire life and spend the rest of my life with. I wanted a "Cory and Topanga relationship", of course for me it's not exactly possible since I haven't really known any one for more than 3 years at a time. No one from my younger childhood is even around... So I guess that wish is virtually impossible, but that's ok, I still hope there is someone out there for me. Those of you who know me really well might know that I'm not sure I'll ever get married, the life I think I'm to live is NOT the kind of life for a wife and family... sadly... But I still have hope and love "and the greatest of these is love".
