No Funk, No Beer

It's Bass Players Take a Nap Day!

Our Punxsutawney Phil didn't show his head,
So all you bass players back to bed,
So now you know it's all been said,
So take your basses back to bed.



So I show up to Bass Ensemble today and Bo says I'm tired. Ian will be our Punxsutawney Phil and if he doesn't show up will all go home and take naps. Ian didn't show up so here I am. Yup the reason for Bass Players Take a Nap Day is so you're not too tired to get drunk at the end of the day. So if you play the bass off to bed with you. This is a true story. I did not make this up so do it.

And if you don't play the bass then umm... you can still take a nap but know beer for you. I know that's discriminator but tough. Beer is only for those who've got the funk. So no funk, no beer. And know beer does not give you the funk. Have you ever seen a drunk person dance? No funk there.

Umm...yeah. So today's been a pretty good day. Yesterday was better. At least in essence that is. As far as quality of events goes today might have the edge right now but yesterday was Elsa and my eleven month anniversay so it couldn't not be a good day. Less than a month till our one year anniversary!

I love fall. It's a fun season. It's cool out and I have so many good memories of last fall. Windy Inn, Maize Quest, some good times bowling, Elsa and I starting to court. This fall will be fun too I'm sure although right it kind of stinks. Work and school how fun. Next weekend we'll all go to the corn maze and that will be cool and I do get to go to Windy Inn which is always fun. The one downside to Windy Inn this time is no Elsa. Take makes me much sad but it's not her fault. She can't help it if certain people's planning skills are lacking. Maybe eventually I'll forgive them for taking her away from me. It's really no one's fault, it just kind of stinks. I hate no one, what a jerk.

It's the weekend and even though I have to work a bunch that's still cool. Soon weekends will be some thing to look forward to again and that will be cool. Ok that's all I've got. Peace and grilled cheese.

Flying High (And Meeting Cops While I'm Up There)

Daniel has a girlfriend. She's even pretty. He met her is his spanish class. I got to meet her today and she is really nice. Who would of thunk it! Her name is Michelle. So yeah, wow that's new.
Also today I got pulled over for the first time and thus received my first ticket. Grrr... $46. I failed to stop at a stop sign. But she wrote me up for not wearing my seat belt (even though I so was). Otherwise I would have had to pay$85 and gotten 4 points on my licience and had to go to court. So yeah that was exciting too.
Today was picture day at the Y so I went in before work for that and took Evan with me to show him off and to show him my pre-k friends. Then we pet some racing pigions. Then we went to the Bank so that last we could go to the bank and afford dounuts. It was a good morning, just him and I. It was nice to be late for class for a good reason.
All in all it was a good day. Odd how one day is rotten and the next day just dandy. And it's not like I'm happy about getting a ticket it's just that today I refuse to let it get me down. Colvin puts up with my mood swings so sweetly. I don't know why he loves me... but I'm am not about to complain either. But yeah, sorry to you all for my last depressing post. Today is great.
I think it is really because today Colvin and I have been courting for exactly 11 months! A year is so close, how absoluely wonderful and amazing and awesome is that? Very.

'Cause They Just Are

Some days, like today, are just depressing and there is nothing you can do about it. There are just so many anoying or frustrating little things that keep piling up without invitation. Number one anoying little thing is my 100 question biology exam tomorrow at 9:00 am. Number two is how I spent an hour studying today and typing it all up to put on a notecard only to find out it never sent to me and so my time was most deffinately wasted. Oh, but I'll just stop 'cause writing this out is not really making me any happier and the list has not even gotten started yet.

These Days of... (that's just it, nothing!)

Because they're just depressing
Life seems to be regressing
Oh but who am I even addressing
And what do I think I'm expressing

And that just proves how sad I really am.

Not So Pretty A Picture

my fender bender that bended my friend... er... it's late.
this picture makes it look like nothing but I was sad. it was the only time i ever hit another car.

and now it is really time to do homework cause i have procrastinated long enough.

A Pretty Picture

A Boring Day Makes For A Boring Post

Ok so I really haven't done much today and I'm kind of bored. I really have nothing to blog about.

I can't wait for September to be over. In October I'll actually be off from work so it won't be quite such a boring month. That and I get my fall break from school. It should just be October already and that's final. I don't believe in September anymore.

Da Life A Da Busy Me

I have not posted in a very long time. But here I am.
My life's been quite busy since school started. I'm trying not to stress about things because I know that it doesn't do any good but for some reason I have a very hard time doing that. Yes, I do have 5 classes (Fund. of Education, Biology, Pre-calc 1, Fund. of Music, Voice 1) but really I'm only working like 13 hours a week. My education class requires 15 hours of volunteer service learning so I do have to squeez that in somewhere. Fun. But days like today, Saturday, I have completely off. That means I have time to actually sit down and do my homework.
Another thing that is on my list of thing to do is visit colleges. Colvin and I are trying to find dates that we both can go. We are hopefully going to visit Rowan University and The College of New Jersy sometime soon.
Mostly it's hard because I don't have time to spend with Colvin like I did over the summer. I'm tired at the end of the day. I hate falling asleep talking on the phone but lately can't seem to even help it. I miss him. That in itself is stressful sometimes. But I very honestly can't even begin to imagine what my life would be like without him! God is good.
On a higher note, the kittens are so much fun and bring so many smiles when I'm feeling down. Godiva especially is so much fun. She is persistant. If she wants to play she won't leave you alone until you play with her. And the fact that she loves Dori is just great. They play together so sweet. Dori tries to pretent like she doesn't car but then she can't help but play the Godiva.
What else? Ooh, I crashed into another car in the parking lot at school and dented mine quite beautifly above the front passenger tire. And then I came home and crashed the dirt bike we just got into the circle in our driveway. That was fun. I only got 4 bruises from that, and none from wrecking the car. Yes my life is wonderful. Daniel and I went riding around the back track some today and I only wiped out once and that was in the soft mud so I did not get hurt at all.
Alright, it's 'bout time to get to homework. Write more sometime. And it won't take me as long as it did this last time. Peace. And I mean it. No stressing like me. It's not fun. I'm trying to quit.

Grinding On To An End That Has No Means (Slowly But Surely) [Part 1]

It's late and so I thought I'd make a post so here it is. My band played a gig last Saturday, it was pretty sweet. Mostly it was just our friends and family who stuck around to see but all the important people were there to watch. It was outside and we played untill it was dark so all that was pretty cool. The bass drum pedal broke during my solo at the beginning of Burning Uncle Ben so I had to try to make it longer to stall while it was fixed. It's little details like that that make playing gigs fun. It was also cool because Elsa and Daniel came to see us play and Elsa drove for the first time all the way from New Jersey to Maryland, without me. Anyway that meant I didn't have to go get them, which was good because I couldn't. I think next the band needs to get started on a CD.

School has started which is both good and bad. Good because the sooner it's all over with the better bad because it's stressful. Mostly stressful on Elsa because she has five classes and work but since it's stressful on her it's stressful on me too. That's ok no one I'd rather be stressed with. In the end I'm sure it'll all be worth it. All the hard work will pay off I'm sure, or atleast that's what they keep telling me.

You know leaving this state is looking better and better by the day.

Well I guess that's about it. All and all it's about the same. Things may seem to change and change but basically they stay the same (that's kind of another Dave Matthews quote.) Ok I'm out.

P.S. The grey cat is named Dotson and is Daniel's. The black one is named Godiva and is Elsa's (and mine). They are two of the bestest cats ever. In case you all care.

P.P.S. You do care because I say you do!

The Double Five

Over a month has passed since my last post of blogedness. Since the time of last I've beached, partied, Southamptoned, and back to schooled. (I've also turned many a noun into verb.) I'll skip most of the text and just go for the pics. And because the internet hates me you don't even get those right now. Eventually I'll post them. Eventually as in soon. Soon as in now.







P.S. Five Smooth Stones, Saturday, 5:30, Hereford UMC "A Day On The Grounds," be there.
