my new job
i LOVE my job! it's a lot of fun. my first day went very well... i really like sam and diane. on my second day, we photograped the guy's basketball team... i learned how they upload everything and their organization system... well... off to eat and then do some homework... (what?!?! homework?!) yeah... well... adios
barbershop
well... i DID get to go to barbershop... i called dad inthe midle of the day and asked him if i caould go... after a few minutes of debate, he let me go... they offered to pay our dues and we're doing an awesome song for contest. well... more to blog later...

parents...
i am sooo pissed off at my parents right now... i fell asleep while i was waiting for mel to finish getting her boxes together... dad came and got me and i she had one box ready... i fell back asleep and 30 minutes later dad came and got me and told me since i fell asleep that i couldn't go to barbershop tomorrow... then i got the boxes and took them to the curb with the rest of the trash... so i can't go to barbersop because i have a really bad headache and took a nap until mel was ready for me to help her... make a lot of sense... right? my parents suck... i can't wait until i graduate... of course i probably won't make it into any school except UTSA and i'll probably keep my sorry ass at home... I'M SO FUCKING FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW!!! i just got done beating the damn trash can up and i'm shaking in anger... they suck so hard core... well.. i'm off to try to go to bed... i haven't been able to sleep these last few nights so when i finally can, i'm so pissed that i'll probably be up again all night... but what's new? i normally can't go to bed until 4 every morning anyway... until next... fuck this shit....
1.23.2005
soooo... i'm at keith's house
well... i'm at keith's house and mandi is leaving (maybe) and i'm tired. keith woke me up by snapping in my ear (my BIGGEST pet peeve) and i tackled him. :) well... we went banquet hunting yesterday... we went to: Fair Oaks Ranch Country Club, River Crossing Country Club, Castle Avalon, T Bar M, and the Vineyards... the top choice is River Crossing right now... banquet halls are expensive... i also dropped off my application to Natural Bridge Caverns. after all of this, we went to canyon to see 'fiddler on the roof'... we left at intermission... it was well... well... well.. yes! it was WELL indeed... 'nuff said! so now... here i am after a night in the hot tub, being awoken at 3am, and being bitched at by keith for waking him up in the middle of the night (with permission of course)... and here i am... cold, with dirty clothes, and no shower... hurrumph... well... maybe we might put up the signs for the spirit poles.. but i highly doubt it... so... off i go...
1.22.2005

3rd period: slept
4th period: watched a movie about the Vikings (not the football team) and loaded spirit poles into Keith's car (ouch)

wednesday
it kind of feels like monday, but at the same time i thought it was a monday... so i dunno... i'm just chillin'.... mandi's play is tomorrow and i can't wait to see it. well... casey, keith and i went to barbershop yesterday. we had a blast. we stopped and said hello to sam, and i showed the guys where i use to live and where the farm is. it brought back a lot of memories. it was kind of weird... but it's all good. then we went to barbershop, and then to sonic for ice cream (thanks casey!)... we then dropped casey off and went to keith's and hit the sack. it was a pretty interesting day. thank god for all of my friends. i don't know what i would do without them. if i seem a little grouchy these next few weeks or so, just bear with me... i'm havin' some hard times. if i snap at you, don't take it personally. well... off to eat dinner... i love dinner. the only thing that is better than dinner is breakfast and lunch... and all of the snacks in between! so, adios.

Graduation - Vitamin C
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
[1] - As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
[Repeat 1]
La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track

IN MY LIFE - THE BEATLES
There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
graduation songs
i'm putting together a mix.... graduation songs... if you guys have any good ideas, post a comment... i have about 10 or 15 now, but need some more.... leave the song, artist, and who you are! thanks guys! bye for now
this weekend... hmmm.....
it has been an intersting weekend. i didn't make all-state (which sucks ass bigger than god's [might i add]), but i did get a truck... as you can see below. it's red, and has a black toolbox (for sheldon) and a black grill guard. it has a $1500 system with 2 subs, and it's an automatic. i can't wait until tomorrow, when i get it!!! well... off to clean the kitchen and order graduation invitations... i'll update more later...
auditions:
well... auditions were nerve racking. i was 5th singer and 5th sight reader. i went in with a lot of confidence. i left with a lot of confidence. i went into the sight reading room with some nerves, but over all, pretty confident. i left a little upset, but i did well... i thought. then, they made us wait 2 hours. this was horrible. i was really nervous. i was thinking how cool it would be if the three of us made it. or what i would do if one or two or even three of us didn't make it. i thought of all of the possible scenarios. i thought of how i would react if i made it, or if i didn't make it. i thought how i would react if... well you get the picture... 2 hours gives you a lot of worrying/ thinking time. mel and dad and sheldon (and even sheldon's friend, trevor) showed up for the reults. mel was more nervous than i had ever seen her... even on their wedding day. well... basses II were first. they started calling names... and mine was never called out. i was pretty upset. mel just squeezed me. everyone came and gave me hug... you know... the "well i'm sorry stuff you do when people don't make it". mrs. masterson cried, but tried not to show it. keith and steph were pretty upset too. dean just said, "we'll do whatever we need to get you into whatever college." well... keith made it... as did stephanie... i'm really proud of them. i'll probably end up staying down there the whole week anyway. dean gets a room and mrs. masterson stays in it... they were saying that i could stay in there with her... kind of weird, but cool that i still get to go for at least a couple of days. we went to alamo cafe. it was fun. it was mel, dad, sheldon, trevor, mrs. masterson, stephanie, keith, and me. it was pretty neat. then, we all went our separate ways. so... then i went to bed at 7:30... and that's the end of my long, stressful day

library?
yeah... i'm going to the library. i know, i gave in, but it will let me audition for state. i found out i don't know the rules as well as i thought. i am not eligible for auditions because i failed english and economics last nine weeks of last semester. i thought when the semester started over so did all eligibility. boy, was i wrong. thank god dean caught it. so i had to ask mrs. jakob and mrs bermea to raise my grades. so now i have to do an essay an an entrepeneur by tomorrow. and i have an extra ora due on monday, but i think i'll go ahead and do it tonight so that i am cleared. thank god for these teachers. i reall had no clue so i'm really greatful. i cried when i found out. nothing is worse then getting lucky and making it this far and have this happen... even though it is MY fault, but it still sucks either way. i mean i was an alternate then got 3rd chair and now may not even audition. that sucks... well i'm off to the library now so... blog more later...

im beethoven
Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770 -
1827)
Growing up, Beethoven endured
mental/physical abuse by his demanding and
alcoholic father who pushed him to become a
musician in order to augment the family income.
In 1795, Beethoven became publicly known as a
rising and brilliant composer. But in 1801, his
confidence began to disappear as his hearing
slowly deteriorated, and in 1818 became
completely deaf. He sank into depression and
paranoia, and was viewed as an eccentric by
others. Though musical tastes had changed in
the 19th century (people then preferred light
rossini operas), Beethoven's genius as a
composer was still known and respected.
Beethoven died in early 1827 during a
thunderstorm. Sources say that Beethoven rose
up and lifted his right fist as thunder lighted
his room, and soon after, sank into eternal
sleep. His funeral was attended by around
30,000 people.

which baroque composer are you?
You are Christoph Willibald Gluck. You are
passionate and honest. When you want something
you go after it, and failure won't be an
option. Although you will probably never make
it main-stream, you will be respected and
admired by those who appreciate quality and
clarity, and they will forever remember you.
You are honest and, gosh darn'dit, people like
you.

what disneyland attraction are you?
i'm not even good enough to be an attraction... i'm the damn tram
The Parking Lot Tram: The uncredited workhorse of
the Disneyland resort. You take visitors from
the largest parking lot on earth to the front
door of Disneyland and back again. You aren't
the picture of glamour and most wouldn't even
think you provide any sort of excitment, but
without you no fun could be had at all. You
don't mean to, but you seem often sour. You
get little respect and sometimes get losts of
scorn, but yet you are faithful and eager to
please. People need you and you need them.
Your simpleness is the perfect backdrop to
showcase the eager smiles of children riding
you for their first time to the Happiest Place
on Earth.
