to look up to someone else is to look down on yourself

sooo i think my guys got robbed this weekend, but what else is new. i always think they get robbed.
went to my first critique. it was....interesting. the judges were actually pretty lame. i only really appreciated what one of them had to say. the rest was pretty much bullshit...or stuff i already knew. the good part is that theyre easy fixes.
rehearsal went pretty well tonight. made all the adjustments i needed to. i didnt get to teach the last movement like i had planned....BUT i was really thorough with the adjustments so i wont have to do that again.

one of my students joined the air force today. so now i have one in the navy, marines, and now the air force. im really not sure how i feel about it...but like always i tell them good luck.

ive been pretty worried about my family lately. it almost seems like the better i do the worse they get. im starting to get less and less sleep too. im down to about 5-6 hours a night. its like as soon as i think things are simple...theyre not. its actually pretty far from simple. its kinda funny. no matter how hard i try to simplify life....i just sucked into this complicated web.

anyway....catch you on the flipside

so im starting to cope alot better. i wanna say i used to just ignore my problems by staying busy. recently though i havent had a choice but to stand up and face them. i didnt take well to it at first but i think im handling things alot better now.

i wanna say that playing guitar has helped me alot. i dont care who you are....but if you play/sing banana pancakes....you cant NOT be in a good mood.

things are looking up

so if things couldnt be worse....shes banging some douchebag. if you couldnt tell, this fucking bums me out. it totally ruins any future we could have. im just that kinda person. it sucks that much more because this is something i wanted sooo badly. i wish none of this wouldve ever happened. who knows where id be....but it wouldnt be here.

i hope hes worth it

» what...lj isnt the hottness anymore??
so ive been working at office depot since christmas. well...they decided to give me a promotion and a raise. so what do i do?? i quit. makes sense right?? i dont really get it either but its a done deal now. im not sure what i wanna do.

fletcher is starting back up. i think im gonna do forrest too, but theyre not really all that organized. im not sure how thats going to work.

world series of pop culture started back up. im surprised this hasnt taken bars by storm. i thought that every bar in jax would have their own lil makeshift version by now. speaking of world series....whats a guy gotta do to get a decent game of poker now-a-days?? now that i dont hangout with anyone that plays my mom decided to get me a set and tabletop. great timing.

ive been jonesin to do some serious drumming. i play here and there but i havent seriously layed anything down in a while. sucks....its hard to find ppl to jam these days. i ran across nick one day and he had something going on. i would give him a call but its hard for me to work with someone i know/like. i get bored (musically) really easy now and id hate to bail on someone that i knew.

training camp is going to start up soon. we should have a solid team. i still think our quarterback situation sucks something terrible. maybe gary coleman wont suck up the joint this year. we shouldve drafted brady quinn...but of course the jags wouldnt do anything that made sense. i think reggie nelson is going to be great but i dont we're a safety away from a superbowl. a quarterback....maybe. it was a win win situation. he couldve sat this year while byron did his thing (i guess thats what you call it) and played him next year.....or this year....when byron gets hurt.

well im not sure how long its been but i think the last time i wrote i got the shading done on my tattoo. well now ive done the two shades of blue. i still gotta do two greens, pink, and white. this sucks sooo hard lol. i couldnt afford it even when i had a job....things are lookin good!! :\

so i was on jaxdrama the other day catching up and whatnot. damn things have changed. well....kinda. they just seem to have gotten worse. kids talking about gangs and shit. at first i thought it was kinda funny. i mean think about it. the average scene kid is like 125lbs, wears girl pants and guyliner. so when you team that up with the word....gang. its funny. flat-ironed hair flying all over the place haha. then when you think about it in black and white terms. beating someone up because you dont think they belong...wow. its pathetic. but i guess thats been a problem the whole time...i just figured ppl would be over it by now. i mean how many ppl do you have to beat the shit out of before you wake up and say...im good. start a ufc type deal. eh....same ol same ol.

Wow...its been a while.

This is my 3rd year teaching drumline at fletcher. Every since i started working there ive been trying to put together an indoor drumline. Well this year i finally got what i wanted. We had our first competition EVER a couple of weeks ago. Well we came in first place out of 17 schools. Not bad for a guy with a hs education. Its a major pain in the ass putting everything together though. Its funny...i havent been doing this very long and im already giving out recommendations for one of my students to get a job teaching. The craziest part is...i think he might actually get it.

I also got a second job. Ive been working at Office Depot for a little over 2 months now. I work in the copy center....but every now and then they stick me somewhere else. supplies....front cashier....its all pretty easy. I dont really understand why i had such a problem keeping a job in the past. Its really not that hard.

Jenna and I just celebrated our second Valentines Day together. It was nice. Things with her have been great over the last year/recent months. We're really starting to "meet in the middle" on alot of things that we used to disagree on. That and her family is really cool to me. Haha not something ive always had in the past. I guess it means more to me than i thought.

I got the shading done on my tattoo a while ago. Ill prolly finish it in April. Wow...that sounds weird. Funny thing is....i already want more.

Managing money is alot easier when you dont have any. Theres living paycheck to paycheck....but what i do puts that to shame. I manage to spend money before i even get it. Money has never been one of my strong points.

I was a major late bloomer when it comes to Guitar Hero. I never even played the first one outside of BestBuy. Well i bought the second one, and im not too bad at it either. Its the only game ive really been able to get into outside of Madden.

I dont really know the reason for writing in this. I just know that i used to...so i guess i just thought....why not.
» MNF!!!!
well....if was my very first monday night football game.....and it couldnt have went better! whooped that ass son! it didnt even really seem THAT cold. maybe all the scoring kept me warm....suckas. between me screaming defense/first down chants and jennas boy band scream...we had to annoy my entire row. ALL giants fans btw. that couldnt have been better. i dont know what the hell the halftime show was...but the game was sweet.

i could prolly go on forever about how eli sucked ass or how they only rushed for 25 yards but i think ill cut it short here.

i <3 the jags

i can say ive been watching football for quite some time....never in my life have i seen soo many dropped passes. garrard is still the man.

<3 the jags even though we just lost to a bottom 5 team....twice.

we need mike p.
» i already miss smith....
wow...football season is practically here. it seems like its been forever.

preseason is starting....FF leagues are starting up....the new madden is coming out.

oh and red jumpsuit has a song on the new madden :\

so far our team has looked good at the camps....but then again....those are just drills...and theyre played against each other. we'll see saturday i guess.
