Oh the light...

down below, about 3 posts, you'll see a 7 things list. Scott drew attention in his comments to number 6. he stated that it's not gonna happen. I am more than ok with that. And I laughed out loud, while at work, at the blutness of the statement. It just means he knows me. I don't see the point. I'm grown up enough for whatever I need to do. I pay bills, have insurance, have a "real" job, make financial decisions for the family. blah blah blah blah. I still play video games (WITH my wife, we both enjoy Halo 3 thank you very much), like to hang with the guys and do kid stuff like have dart gun wars every now and then in the house. So yes - there it is. I guess in most ways, or at least some, I will never grow up.

I talked to Ryan Rice last night - he's deciding between staying in midland - playing and teaching, or moving to Louisiana to pursue his Certified Flight Instructor position and practice for upcoming auditions, and actually finish up his DMA stuff so he can get the fancy starchy piece of paper that dictates his new title of DR. Rice. As much as I say,"Dude - you don't know what you have till it's gone, keep playing!!!" I also know he has a love for aviation, so that's a tough call.

I might get to tour. With a Broadway show. Holy Moly.

Can you even begin to imagine the sound of the Angel of the Lord sheathing his sword?

The radio

As much as I may adore Kidd Kraddick in the morning, I have decided after sitting in front of my own computer for awhile - that I think that current radio and hits of today are a big, fat, waste of my time. The songs are lacking in any substantial material, some lacking in material period.

7 things

Thank alice anne for this one - 7 random facts! about yours truly.

1. I have eaten thai food 3 times in the past week. for no apparent reason at all.

2. Despite however long I may study him, I still hate Mozart(those last 2 were for you AA, fight the beast, don't give in to Mozarts cunningly boring yet intellect-building structured forms!!!)

3. I have a birth mark on the inside of my right elbow, and i used to be afraid people would think i don't use soap when i shower, because it looked like I didn't wash there.

4. I have 3 trombones, one of which cost 30 bucks on eBay.

5. I met a man today, who was Bulgarian and didn't believe that I had been to Sophia, Bulgaria. But no really, I've been.

6. I'm not sure, nor is probably anyone else who knows me, when exactly I will grow up.

7. I like track lighting, and black, chrome, and maroon interior decor. Modernesque if you will.


Ahh. that was enjoyable, if I do say so myself!

Tony...are you a camel?

Gwahhhhhh!!!!

That sound is funny when I try to produce it with my throat. It reminds me of Katie Barker Frazier!

mmm - Good things: I talked to Jon Schallert today and he sounds like he's doin great, and I talked to Scott yesterday or the day before. I miss those guys, I need to plan a trip to searcy to hang with them. I'm excited about going back to school, and eventually teaching College. The thought of that entices me, and i follow! The new phone is working out quite well...but i'm missing LOTS of phone numbers, which leads me to "bad things"...

Bad things: No XBOX 360 just quite yet. Krank and I cannot seem to beat ANYTHING on legendary, demonstrating that we are either just THAT bad, or it's just THAT hard. Credit Card Debt. oh, and that i'm missing lots of phone numbers

quandry

I'm not sure if I spelled my title right...


The serious part:

Why is it so hard to read the bible everyday. Why is it so hard to take the time to pray enough to develop the relationship with God that not-so-deep down I know I want. It's not that I don't know He's there or that I'm just blatantly living in sin...It's just that I'm not where I could be or where I should be. Suggestions and advice from the 2 or 3 of you that read? haha.

The not-so-serious part:

EECU has been a really amazing job. I have learned SO much from it, and the people I work with are great. But I teach 15 kids on tuesdays, nothing but trombone, and it is splended. I'm going to Austin this weekend to see UT play Kansas State, and to play Halo 3. WOOO! Ash and I are considering forgoing Christmas presents and buying ourselves an XBOX 360. I had dinner with Andrew Rivas last night and it was great to catch up. And i'm paying off dem bills! I'm going back to school.

GRAPEFEST IS COOL. Yo.
