Chuck Taylors and The Pillows

Hey guys. All I did today was go to school and watch a new episode if "Charmed," so I won't bore you with my details of today. Hey you guys ever heard Maroon 5, their really good, I heard them for the first time last week. If you've never heard them, take a listen.

I had a good day today. I went to school and it was pretty much the same as always. Later that day I had my first scout meeting as SPL. I conducted the meeting. I had no clue how good it would make me feel. I just like being in charge and being able to decide what we're going to do and tell them how to do it. I love scouts. BTW, I wrote my first song last night, I like it.

Hey. First of all I'll tell you about yesterday. It was my all-state auditions. I did okay I guess, I really don't think I'll make it though. I went to work afterwards. I wasn't bad at all. I almost had fun. I was with people I like. Okay, that was yesterday. Today was a day of rest. I was home most of the day. I played my dancing game some more. I went to my grandma's house, she got a really cute puppy. I was happy for her. That was really the highpoint of my day. Wow, this blog was kinda boring wasn't it, sorry guys. Later days.

Guess what today was. . . go on guess. . . . alright, IT WAS A SNOW DAY. That's right, no school for me today. I do have to go to work at 5:00, but I'm free 'till then. I really didn't do anything today. I woke up at 5:30 because my alarm went off, my alarm is a radio alarm so I just listened, since it was snowing the night before. I learned there was no school today. I went back to bed. I woke back up at about 10:30. I played my dancing game for a little exercise, then took a shower. I watched a movie and danced some more. Took another shower, and now I'm here, blogging for you nice people. It was nice to relax for a day. Later Snow Days.

The freshman at my school aren't the loudest speakers in the sound system. Today I heard one of the girls proved my previous statement. She looked at a teacher and said, "If you were in a rehab center and you asked for a glass of milk for your friend and you didn't really have a friend, wouldn't that be funny."

I was sick today and didn't go to school or work. I woke up today and felt very tired, even though I was rested. Also, my eyes felt like they were on fire. I went to the doctor and he didn't know what was wrong with me. He did some blood work and I guess I'll figure it out soon enough. That was pretty much my whole day. I did compose a phone tree for my scout troop. The only problem is, my computer is the next best thing to crap. It doesn't have excel (or any other spreadsheet program) or word (or any other word processors with drawing capabilities) so I only have a paper drawing of my hard work. Hopefully I can type it out at school. That was my day today. I was sick. Later days.

Okay, I didn't blog yesterday, I had to go to church and work, sorry. Church was the highlight of my day. This will sound weird, but I've went to church since I was two weeks old. I had this faith instilled in me since I was old enough to believe in anything. My faith has kinda been wavering for the past year. I go to church and feel like I'm going through the motions. I went and was never truly inspired as I feel I should be at my church. That all changed Sunday. I went to church and felt the same way for the first part of the service. We sang our normal songs, a pray was said, then when it was time for the preacher to preach to us, it was different. He went up and introduced a young preacher from another church. He preached a sermon that felt like a breath of fresh air. I was so inspired to praise God in his highest. I haven't had that feeling for a long, long time. I hope I see that preacher again, I really need to thank him. I would pay to hear things like that everyday. I couldn't believe the feeling of fulfillment I had. I know I sound like I'm ranting, but that's the way his sermon made me feel, I wanted to rant for days about Christ and his servant that made me feel so warm inside. I didn't get to go to church that night and I was really disappointed because I think that preacher would of been preaching again. I had to work. I had an okay time at work but it wasn't like church that morning. I went to bed as soon as I got home that day, woke up this morning and felt really awake(which never happens). I woke up, took a shower, made my own breakfast, and watched some T.V. before school. I went to school and school was school. After school I had show choir practice. We are going to do a Motown show this year. I'm really looking forward to it. I went home after show choir and then went to my weekly scout meeting. We had our elections today, I'm now our Senior patrol Leader. I guess I'm looking forward to my responsibility. Well, that was my day. Later Days.

Alright, even though if there is any of you out there, there's only a few, I feel I should apologize to you. I haven't blogged in over a month. As I said before, I love Christmas time, I wish I could of shared every moment of it with you, but I also liked keeping some of my joy to myself, I'm a selfish person that way. I did have a great Christmas though. As I said I had a performance with the show choir. We went to a nursing home in Charleston. It was a lot of fun. I tell ya', I have doubts sometimes about my dream, of being a singer-songwriter, but when we sang to them and saw them so happy, all my doubts just faded away. I don't think I've told you that, have I, my dream that is. Yeah, I want to be a singer-songwriter when I grow up, in a few years I mean. I plan to take it a step further this year, its kinda my new year resolution, to start a true music career, however one does that. I plan on writing songs, I've done that before, but this time I plan to go to my friends, my very musical friends and my very poetic friends. If I can help out, throwing out my ideas every once in a while, I can be considered a song writer, and maybe, along the way, I can pick up a few thing and become a good songwriter by myself. Anyway, back to Christmas, after the performance at the old folks home, we prepared for a performance at my high school, a talent show. I did a solo comedy act that me and my friend Rachel thought up. We thought it was hilarious, the crowd didn't. In this act, I kinda made fun of the major winter holidays, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kawnzaa, and Winter Solstice. The crowd yelled things at me like, "Just shut up," and "Turn his mike off." Nothing like that has ever happened to me. A couple of thoughts went through my head, first "Am I so not funny that people have to be rude to me," and second "Maybe I'm just so unpopular here that they feel they have to yell those things, I can't wait until I perform for people who want to see me, all the cheering, its truly a dream right now. " Talk about making you doubt your dream, I really didn't know what to do. Should I try to come up with another dream and find a job in something practial, did this one performance really scar me that bad. I decided I wasn't that kind of person, I believe in myself, I will continue my journey into stardom. I am glad this happened to me now, before I graduate, this can't be my only bad performance or bad crowd. I now will be much more ready then I was before. Thank you rude people of Scott High School, you were my first bad crowd, thank you so much, remember to watch for me on MTV or in that hit movie you see, feel free to boo as loud as you want, I'll be ready. Later that day, we went to the local retirement homes, my Christmas spirit boosted back up, and my dream reassured. I love the nice old people for helping me every time. If I can't ever achieve my dream, I think I just want to tour retirement homes and feel good about myself all the time. Finally, Christmas was approaching. I made all my close friends pillows, because I don't have as much money this year as I had last year. I got a lot of good presents. From my friend Kayla, I got Hillary Duff stuff, its in my room right now, I love Hillary Duff, where she is now is where I want to be. From my brother, I got "The Sims: Makin' Magic" "The Sims" is one of my favorite games. From my mom, I got a lot of clothes and stuff, a Hillary Duff CD, and a Dance Dance revolution game, its becoming one of my new favorites. From my grandma, I got a lot of the same stuff from as from my mom, and "Final Fantasy X-2", Final Fantasy is my favorite game series, next to Kingdom Hearts. Well, that about it, work's work, school's school, and I'm me. Later Days.
