Another Update

So I'm going to be performing the music special at my church on September 23rd. I'm feeling a little anxious about it. Number one, because I don't know what to do, and number 2, because I doubt that Adam will sing with me... I was hoping to make it more of a duet than a solo because I freak myself out if I have to do anything on a stage, or anywhere for that matter, by myself. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I may end up writing something, but I don't know if i'll have the time for a project like that... In any case, I'm a little nervous. Three whole weeks before I even do it.

Also, apparently my left hand is allergic to silver. Maybe just this one finger. It keeps on getting irritated any time I wear my silver ring on my middle finger and I don't know why... my other hand is chill with silver. So whatever...

Goals for the near future:

- Save up a ton of money so I can afford stuff
- Make up blueprints and construction plans for my dark room
- Buy an SLR
- Take a ton of pictures to build my portfolio
- Take up more painting jobs for money on the side
- Get straight As
- Clean my room (this one always gets started but never really finished)
- Buy the third season of The Office and have a really big marathon
- Start running again
- Get my oil changed
- Hang out with people as often as possible
- Get out more
- Find out what's in Ohio...or isn't in Ohio...
- Set priorities
- Learn to play this stupid song on guitar...
- Record more demos
- Write a book about my life. haha

Update

I'm gonna get back into doing this. It definitely relieves my stress. I like being able to just spill out whats on my mind and not really care about who's reading it, who cares, and why. lol

The fall semester started yesterday...nothing spectacular there.

I had a really awesome dream last night - I was really dedicated to my music, touring, and had an album out. That was exciting. I woke up excited about it. And it makes me want to actually do it. I probably wont... but I really really want to. haha

You know what else I want? One of those DJ sound mixing tables. Those are really fun to play with. My friend Dan has one, and he showed me how a lot of it works. Kinda. I should play on it some more before I actually buy one, but it's definitely something that interests me. I make playlists all the time. Timed, themed, sequenced, conversational, paced, or even a story line. I can do it. One time, I made a 12 part series of playlists. All organized by key, then by subject matter, and then carefully ordered to flow from one to the next and so on. Even if that meant breaking songs apart or just taking pieces of one, and stringing it on another one. Yeah. OCD. I know...

Other than that, things are pretty good... I'm pretty broke, but I'm used to it. I used to have a lot of money, but now I have a car... Bla... When I have the money though, I'm going to buy three things:

1) A digital and 35 mm SLR
2) A mixing table
3) Happiness
