  • Haven't had a real post in awhile. The last one didn't count because I was just commenting on how I liked the colors for this theme. I probably won't continue to post very much after this entry, either, because I don't feel like I have anything to say. Actually, I probably don't have anything meaningful to say right now either but I feel like typing.

    Xanga is kind of dead, is it not? People use to be avid Xanga-ers but there are just a handful of people I know of nowadays that are still keeping up with their sites. I am not one of them.

    As I sit here typing away, I'm tuned into the 10500 dealio thing on Skype, enjoying PDT's fantastic worship and awaiting some enlightenment on the Kingdom in the coming hour(s).

    Other than that I'm procrastinating from studying for something like 3-4 tests I have on Friday. Also, I am not working on my college apps, which are very important.

    While I revel in my apathy for things related to school, I am at the same time excited for church in general. Earlier this year I was just kind of burnt out and not really enjoying serving or anything. To that end, I decided I didn't want to coordinate the youth portion of MTC this year, and let me tell you that I am feeling much better now. Plus, Charles will probably do a better job without my constant indecision. Church and youth group are the same old, but I feel like I'm enjoying myself more than I was 2 months ago, which is good.

    Bass playing has been good. My Musicman is amazing, as expected. Tone is great - powerful, growly, pwnzor - you know, the works. One thing, though, is that I haven't been able to get it to sound good through my 115 cab yet. Sounds good through FOH, but just not through my cab. Then again, I rarely ever use my cab so it doesn't really matter just yet. Current signal chain is Musicman SR5 --> Boss GT-6B --> Gallien-Krueger Backline 600 --> Gallien-Krueger 115. I also started bass-singing and that's been going ok. Please don't make fun of me.

    Guitar has also been legit. I practice guitar more than bass, but hopefully that'll change soon. I'm playing my sister's Martin DX-1 right now strung with 5 elixirs and 1 random old G-string.

    Clarinet has been OK as well. I am first chair, which hasn't happened since freshman year. I guess all I needed to do was practice... quite profound, eh? I just auditioned for IMEA, but I think I bombed it. Results might be in tomorrow, so prayer would definitely help.

    I started pole vault club this last Sunday. I'm looking to jump the state qualifying height of 13'9" at the end of may so I can go down to the finals. That would be uber sweet.

    Dave just finished worship and now he's asking if there are people online. I just gave him a "Yoooooooo". Too bad Charles just informed me via AIM that Dave didn't hear me.

    I have learned a couple major lesson as of late. The first is that if both your parents tell you not to do something it is best not to do it. It could be very, very bad. I know very, very well how very, very bad it can just be. The second is that if you want to do something, you should just do it and stop contemplating (but make sure your parents don't tell you not to do it, because if they tell you not to do it and you do it you are in for a treat). Finally, God is good all the time.

    Anyways, that was the past 2 months of my life in a condensed blog. I hope you enjoyed reading. Or if you didn't read I hope you enjoyed that as well.

    Blessings to all.
