So I haven't posted anything for a while. It's definitely because I'm busy. I find it easy'r to write a list of things, instead of paragraphs. Soooooo!!
What I've been up too!
1. Finishing school!! I think I have like seven weeks left.
2. Playing Music.
3. Looking at new music products, wondering how I could afford some of them.( Im trying to be smart with my money, knowing that there are always unexpected things around the corner)
4. Reading about Blaise Pascal. Seems he and I have a lot in common as far as religion goes. He talks about how he has a hard time taking things at face value. Kinda hard to explain.
5. Trying to feel at home at church. Things are kinda rough right now. Also, I've had offers from other churches to play in there worship services. But all of them are in denominations I don't quite agree with:(
6. I got my graduation suite!! Banana Republic, Gray, Two Button, British Cut. Nuff said........I love it.
7. Trying not to stress about moving and what not. Its funny, I thought Right now I would be freaked out about graduation; What am I going to do?!?!?, Is that really what I want to do?!?! None of these questions seem relevant. I know all of those, I just don't know where I'm going to live!!!
So.....
That's whats up..

Things I'm thinking about doing
I have a list of things I want to do. Most of them involve some pretty good money right now, but its still fun to dream.
1. Get an Apple mac mini. Mostly for music writing software, but also because Mac's are the cats MEEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWW.
2. Change out the Pickups in my Telecaster. It's my first electric guitar, and it has definitely seen better days.I kinda like it that way too. Its says "Hells bells yes, I'm a guitar. And YES, I have been played A LOT!!". But, with that being said, it still has the ten dollar squire pickups installed from when I got it for my birthday four years ago. So I plan to get some Rio Grande pickups to replace them. But there two $200. Ouch!
3. Start recording my music.(which kinda wraps up #1-2)
I play a lot chill stuff with my brother, and I think we should record that. But I also have some songs that I've written on the piano that I want to record too. But I want those to be written and changed just by me. I'm quite sure that I have friends who are better at playing the drums and bass than me(,maybe not bass...... whatever) but I don't want then to change up and add there own flare and fills to my songs. I think its great to collaborate with other musicians(like me and Justin do) but I also think its a good idea to have you own work that you've created.
On another note
I'm super pumped about this weekend. I'm going to Houston for a mini vacation!!
Ok thats all.................

What I did today....
Well.......
1. Today I woke up at exactly 10:00pm. Odd, I didn't even set my alarm.....
2. After that, I finished out the rest of my school for the week.(SA-WEEEET!!!)
3. Chuck and I had some vanilla yogurt with honey granola clusters for breakfast. (50/50 mix of yogurt to granola for best results)
4. After that, I played piano for about four hours. Working on the same stuff(Scales and Arpeggios in F#m & major. Ryan Adams covers, Colplay covers, etc)
5. Checked my blog.
6. Changed light bulbs in my house.
7. Drank a pineapple soda, monster energy(coffee flavor) and water.
8. Played some music and try'd out some new dance moves.(they didn't turn out that good. glad no-one was home)
9. Made the house spotless for a showing(NOT FUN), which never happened.
10. Went to Barns And Noble to look for a biography on Blaise Pascal. They had a book that was just a compilation of his theory's, notes and essays. But first, I want to read about him, and then read his works. Not the other way around. It would be like watching a movie backwards!
11. Then I met up with mom and had lunch at Schlotzsky's,
12. Then I repeated 3-4 again. And then had dinner.
13. Also, went to Jut's to borrow an acoustic for Sunday church. Baldwin wants me to play that too since Brandon is gone for the week. I am not excited.........
That's about it.......
ALSO!!
The clock on my blog is always off by a few hours. It bothers me!

Just to keep you updated..... You know.
So this is what I'm excited about....
1. Day off of work tomorrow.
2. Only two days of work until vacation(Well, me taking a week off of work)
3. Music on Sunday(Like every Sunday)
4. Hopefully hanging out with friends tomorrow.
5. One week until B-dog comes back.
6. One week until I hang out with Jon and Em.
7. Writing some stuff with Justin.
8. My new house.
9. The wet, cold weather.(I love it!!)
So today at work.
I was listening to another parent talking about there child who takes lessons. He very proudly tells me "He's so good. He doesn't even need sheet music. He just hears it, and plays it." At this point he obviously looks me up and down. And then goes on to ask me "Can you do that?" I answered,"Yes, a little bit". He replies with "Well, you should hear him, he has special talent"
The conversation seemed to go on forever. But at the end, he asks one more Cocky question. "So how long have you been playing guitar?" I answer "A little more than three years" At this, he gives a smirk that I thought was possible by the only richest of the rich, snobby of snobs, soccer moms. But no, Somehow he pulled it off. Quickly after, he went and sat down and waited quietly( Thank God)
I'm not writing this to show you what a jackass that guy was.(Well, half and half.) I'm just wondering why every parent I meet at work thinks there kid is the next big superstar. Is it that they just want there kid to be special or above average? Is it that they want something to hope in?(not many are hoping in our new president anymore. But not enough time to go into that.) I wonder if I'm going to be that parent? I wonder if my parents do that?(just not as Cocky or jackassy as that guy)
Just some thoughts...... You know.....

Things I Hate
I've decided to make a list of things I hate right now. So hear goes!!
(Btw, they aren't in order; Just in order of what I think of them.
1. My boss telling me about his wife's "surgery". Why on earth would your eighteen year old employee(,that's me)want to hear about you wife's bajango!?!?!
2. Not being able to leave stuff out in my house...(We're selling it, supposedly, buyers don't want to see my boxers, whitey tighty's, thongs and briefs laying on the floor in my room.. whatever)
3. The culture of todays church. I'm fine with the principle of church, I think its whats right. But, more often than not, recently, its just annoying me.
4. Highschool drama. I think it quite odd that I have to deal with this, seeing as I'm the only student in my class. But somehow it still finds me. Curse you Highschool. I will soon enough be out of your wet, sweaty grasp.
5. Not feeling very creative at all. This is something quite recent. But I think it might be affiliated with Number two.(Not the activity, the second thing on my list)
6. I miss my sister Beth. I have no one to crack funny jokes with. Or, make fun of people with(shallow, I know.)
There it is, my list of poopy things.
