Christmas Eve

Its christmas eve again. I guess it could be better, seeing on how I still feel a little sick and my brother is only getting about 5 gifts tomorrow. Its weird because we aren't going any where tonight with my family or anything. It use to be fun to go to Grandma Stewart's house and open gifts. I guess those days died when she did. I miss being a young kid. Me and my brothers would go spend the night there and just play games all night. It was so much fun.

I hope I get alot of stuff tomorrow. I didn't ask for much again because I think that as we get older we tend to realize its not about gifts. This year seems to be missing alot of the christmas spirit. I suppose thats because they started to play christmas music a month ago and with no relatives around to celebrate with, it just doesn't feel like christmas. Well, maybe it will tomorrow when everyone is over here.

I talked to Travis today on the phone. It was good to talk to him again. We are probably gonna go do something for new years, weither thats going to Houston for Fran, or just chilling up here with his friends.

I re-wrote the chords for Come What May. It took me a while yesterday and today to get it right, but I finaly did. I submitted it to Harmony Central and Ultimate Guitar Tabs. I hope they get posted soon. It should be pretty cool.

Still no word from Morgan. I suppose I'll call her sometime tomorrow and say Merry Christmas. I miss talking to her. I wonder if she will ever email me again. We will see.

Im sick, but it was a good movie

I woke up today with a slight temperature and a soar throught. I just sat around the house all day until me and my family went and saw Lord of the Rings. The movie is kick ass awsome but its just so much of a cliff hanger at the end. The acting was great and the effects where even better. I cant wait till the next one comes out in a few months.

I also watched VH1's top 100 albums today too. The Beatles revolver was number 1. Metallica didn't have any on there at all!! I was totaly dissapointed.

After we all got home from the movie me, Jeremy, and Jill played Monopoly and I won again. It was great because it didn't take 4 hours to play this time and they both gave up. So I felt pretty good about that.

No word from Morgan, Brenna, or travis yet. Im sure they are doing fine. I know Morgan just got done with exams this week so maybe she will check her email soon. Im sure she will have like 5 from me depending on if she ever checks them or not. Brenna is....who knows...I'll just keep waiting for her responce. Travis sent me a forwarded email today. It was so funny!! It was a few pictures of political stuff.

New Orleans Trip

This was with out a dought one of the best trips I have ever been on. I've just returned from New Orleans where I saw many things.

We got there at about 7pm so me and brandon went out for a walk of the town. Unfortunitly, we walked in the wrong direction from Burbon street so all we did was eat dinner and walk around to see a bunch of crap.

Sunday, we practiced all day and at night me and brandon went out that night with some friends to the coolest place in town...Burbon street. This is the street that you see on "Girls Gone Wild" video tapes and stuff. There were so many hot chicks there!! All you had to do was have some beeds and they would flash you. It was sweet. We walked around for a while just checking out the women and a few shops, mostly the girls though. I didn't have anything to drink because I wanted to remember every bit of what I was seeing lol.

Monday morning came and we practiced until it started to rain and then we called it a day around noon. After sleeping in for a while, me and brandon went to lunch and on the way back I ran into Britney, the girl from the finals breakfast last week. She was like, yea im in 1633. I figured I would call her and see if she wanted to go hang out later. Well, I called right before we left for the cruz, but there was no answer, so I went along my marry way to the cruz which was so awesome. There was a live band and free buffet and the waiters were serving drinks to anyone with out showing ID's. Again, I didn't drink because I wanted to remember everything. After I got back to the hotel, I decided to pay Britney a visit before heading out. Just as i made it to her hall she was walking out with friends. We talked a bit as we rode down the ellivator together and she was like, come by my room later on tonight so we can hang out :) After a very exciting night on the town, I decided to go pay her a visit. Well, she wasn't there...2am, still not there...3am still not there, so I just left a note on the door saying I stoped by and hoped that she had a good day at the game and I went to bed very dissapointed.

Game day was long and tiring. We had to be in uniform all day long and we lost 45-20. Oh well, better luck next year. The bus ride was fun on the way back cuz I slept through most of it. Thats about all you guys need to know. The details aren't sutible for young audiences ;)

Crapy mood

I am totaly in a crapy mood right now. I cant see any of my friends from school, I'm pondering what to do if I cant make it in the music program and I have to transfer out of UNT, I cant ever get morgan to email me back anymore. Just a shity time. I wonder what ever happend to her.

I went to vickie's tonight with my dad cuz he was installing a dish washer for them. I she was doing good, but because we didn't get over there until 7pm she left after about 30min to go to temple. So I just sat around some more until my dad finished.

I'm not looking forward to this trip. I know it will probably turn out fun, but I just wish I could of had some more time to sit at home and do nothing for a while. I guess I have vented enough for one night.

Finaly home

I moved home for vacation yesterday. It was weird moving alot of my stuff out because it still feels like I haven't been there very long. I suppose thats because in college, things are always changing so you cant really get sunk into a set pattern, unlike highschool where everything is always the same. I said good bye to some of my friends and just tried not to think about coming back. It was raining the whole time we were loading the truck and with a drumset in the back of a pick up truck, it was very hurrysum business. We had to put a tarp over everything in the back.

The New Orleans trip starts tomorrow. I cant really tell if I'm excited or not. I want to go because I'll probably never get to again, but at the same time I'd really like to stay home and just do nothing. Or at least go hang out with my friends or something. Oh well, at least I have a chance of being on tv on tuesday, ESPN2.

I wonder what ever happend to Morgan. The last time she emailed me was weeks ago. I suppose she is just busy with school work and trying to make a relationship happen. I just dont want our friendship to drift apart.

I've started to download all the Jim Brickman songs in my piano books so I can hear what they sound like. It helps to know so I can fill in the parts that I can't play.

I found out that I didn't make the school of music. They can all suck my cock. If they would have told me that I was only gonna play a solo and not waist my time on those damn books, then I would have done better. They can all suck it sideways.

Easy day

Today was a tireing day. I was up till 4am, then slept for 2 hours, typed a paper for my enghish exam, slept for 2 more hours, went to english and turned in the porfolio, then came back and hung out with Venessa for a while. We just hung out in her room and chilled.

I kept meaning to take a nap or something, but it never happend. I just found things to do and procrastinated as much as possible. I went to the cup tonight for the finals breakfast. Since Marcy and Karina were talking away with people I didn't care to know, I made my own friends. I met this cool girl named Britney. Shes a jr and lives over in morzart but is moving to santa fae soon. I hope I'll see her around sometime.

I have an exam at 8am this morning for Music Fundimentals. It should be pretty easy, so I haven't needed to study much. Tomorrow should be a better day because I will have had more sleep time.

Only 3 days till New Orleans!!!!

Brenna's back

Me and Vennessa went heard about free food out side the library tonight so we decided to go check it out. While we were standing in line Brenna and her roommate came over :) It was really good to see Brenna again. We let them cut in line infront of us and we all sat and talked for a while. Me and Brenna talked mostly about what we had been up to lately. I'm gonna call her tomorrow and get her email address so we can stay in touch over the break. I was just thinking about her today too, kinda weird how she was just there.

Anywayz, me and vennessa are probably in for another long night. Who knows, I'll probably pull an all nighter but I'll be by my self because ven said she has 2 exams tomorrow. At least I'll try and keep her up as long as I can.

Nice to know

Today was a good day. I just sat around the house all day and watched TV. Tonight I watched this cool show about prehistoric animals on the discovery channel. It was sweet. Then I came back to school and I'm sitting here with Vennessa who said she missed me :) It made me feel good to hear her say that. Nice to know someone cares.

Home again

Well, I came home this weekend to get a christmas tree with my family. It only took us about 20min to find a good one, but its the whole "family get together" thing that makes it fun. We decided to get a white tree this year since we hadn't had one in alomst 6 years. Its not as big as we use to get them but the selection was really crappy so you know what they say, beggers cant be chosers.

Most of the day I just sat at home and did nothing which is exactly what I wanted to do. I have 2 exams this week and they shouldn't be to much trouble. I cant wait to get back to school though because the sooner this week is over the sooner I can get to New Orleans for the bowl game. I dont think UNT has a chance of winning, but at least it will be on ESPN2.

Caroling

I went Christmas caroling tonight at the nursing home. It was fun singing, but it was really sad to see all those old people so senial and crazy. You could tell they were all druged up on pain killers or whatever. My mom has always said to never put her in a home when she gets that age and seeing that makes me think there is no way I'm putting her in a place like that. She had to watch her grandma waist away in one of those things and I dont intend to watch that happen to her too.

I've got my snare jury tomorrow, that should be interseting. I suppose I'll just do whatever and hope they dont kill me. I dont even care anymore. They can all suck my cock. I'm just ready to go home and put all this crap behind me.

A bad day

I woke up at 7am to take a quiz which I didn't study for and made a 85 on. Then I went back to my room changed clothes and practiced for my barrier for 3 hours. Next, I went into the room and after working up books for 4 months, they dont even call any of them. I only played my solo and sight read some stuff. I waisted months of practicing time on crappy books which I didn't even need to begin with. I hate them all!!! Just goes to show that life is a bitch, then you die.

New Concept

Well, Its been a few days since I wrote. Sorry about that. I've been busy with practicing for jurys/barriers. I decided to take the day off today and go home to practice. It was really great because I went to my highschool to practice and I was there from 9:30am to 2:30pm. Plus, the drumline had class 4th period in the band hall so I got to see all my friends again. It was funny... I saw morgan walk in the band hall through the window of the practice room. So, I causualy kept practicing and waited for someone to tell her I was there or for her to figure it out. It took about 20 seconds for her to walk in the room... I was already smiling before she walked in.

It was really weird being at school for most of the day. Especialy when I left cuz since I dont have a car my dad had to come get me just like all the past years.

I was thinking that in highschool I felt like I had more control than I do now. It feels like last year, I could do anything I wanted and as long as I graduated, nothing mattered. Now that I'm in college, it seems like everything I do effects something else. I suppose this means I'm in the real world now, yeppie, its not all it's cracked up to be.

I've got my mallet barrier tomorrow and my concert band audition. God help me.

Fun fun fun

Last night I saw American Pie 2 at the Lyceum (its an auditorium) for the 2cd time. It was still just as funny as it was the first time I saw it. I got to the ticket window and rememberd I had left my card sitting in the lobby, so I ran back and got it then ran back to get my ticket. I was kinda tired after that.

Then afterwards I decided to go to Jack'n the box. Since I couldn't find anyone to go with me, I walked by my self all the way there and sat there since I didn't feel like walking back with my food. When I got to the counter they told me they dont except cards, so I was about to walk out when my friend who just happend to be there by some dumb luck, pulled out $6 and let me have it. I was thankfull.

Then I went down to Travis' room where we played computer games and talked until 4. I must say its the longest conversation I've had this whole year.

Next, I found Vennessa and we went into a practice room and listend to our friend play piano for about 2 more hours. He is really really good! He had this huge book full of songs he can play. Over all, a fun night.
