After an amazing weekend with no sleep, I used Monday to catch back up and so I wasn't at school. sounds good, awesome weekend, no school monday. Tuesdays I don't work and we had a sub in 4th period...sweet. Wednesday I get to play at vineville north and I love it there...alot of people don't love back but I mean its like the start of something good at least. anyways we are registering classes tomorrow and its cool because I get to see people from back in 1st semester. awesome. thursday is like friday because its the last day till tuesday again and whats really awesome is I don't even have to work friday.

     The Blazer was on its last leg, about to die and I wouldn't have a car anymore but I swear it had to be God...it all of the sudden ran perfect. and like all day its been so awesome. and thats a big weight off my sohulder for it to work like that.

     I met an amazing girl which is to be a good friend...you know I kinda get tired of that..I meet a girl and she is soo awesome and then its like..only friends. I have alot to offer, just nobody to offer it to you know? I'm not "hott" or preppy or any of that but what more can you ask for than I am myself and noone else? anyways yeah, Valentines day sucked.

     Music is my expression, all of my heart, and all of my soul is put into it and I'm not talking about goofing around and there are people out there that think they know me and have me figured out with their bullcrap philosophies and what not but I am alot deeper than you may think. no, I'm not like some philosopher or anything but I can put all I have into a piece of music. and its like no matter what, even if the music isn't that good. If you can on a deeper level actually feel the song, not just hear it, its an amazing piece. I'm not an expert in music but it more than anything else is my life. my girlfriend is my drumset, my best friends are instruments...might seem sad to you but I kinda like it like that...I have found a way to express my pain, my sorrow, my happiness, myself. everything can be put into a single piece. Caleb heard me after practice today and he might think, dang thats sucky, but it doesn't matter because I put everything I had into it. Music is more than something to listen to and more than something to learn a few tabs so people think your cool. its not about playing stuff people recognize or trying to learn whats in or what somebody else wants to hear. There are so many people out there that play just for a reaction. I played witha  bass player that just wanted people to think he was cool and..I mean its not. you can tell when its an off day because instead of playing music he's trying to impress. on stage its the same way. trying to impress someone with a song isn't worth it. Its about expressing yourself. I play the drums on wednesday nights and at practice on tuesdays I don't sound good and I'm not that into it. and I was off beat and the tempo wasn't good..you know whatever, I was trying to play to a standard but I opened up at the end and just played rather than trying to make it sound perfect and to me that was alot more heart felt. If the only thing you can do in response to hearing a song is think he's good....then somethings wrong. its not about that one person. its aobut what he composes..I don't know, I might be making sense might not. it really doesn't matter. I'm going to get a smart-butted comment about something saying I'm wrong in some way but I expect it you know? I look foward to comments just like anybody else with one of these. but theres more to life than what other people think about you. Happy Valentines Day.

Man a week has passed and not alot has changed really. I'm still a bad procrastinator and a bad speller and I am still working on getting closer to God and trying to minimize all the things that I see is pulling me away. I'm hanging out with more God-like people and I have a few people I can look up to, one being Caleb, one being my buddy Andy, and then of course Michelle. I haven't gotten to really talk to her lately and I kinda miss her cause she helps me through things..she's an awesome girl. Btw I officially have a huge crush on a certain somebody, if ya wanna know, ask me if not then your saving my breath. Anyways I left ol' dudes house and the way I see it, my driving doesn't effect anybody unless their own stupidity shines through. I know my limitations in a car..now I don't know limitations to like anything else but driving is one thing I can connect with. well some crackhead old man hurrys from the darkness into the middle of the street as I was leaving after the superbowl and he has dogs I guess...he was crazy and said to slow down, turn the music down and turn my brights off...well my brights weren't on so I flashed him them and apparently that really pissed him off and I just went around him...but if he woulda stayed on his lil dog walk on the other side of the street everything woulda been fine. but nooo make a big scene. anyways...people bug me on the road..I mean its like this, if you aren't endangering anyone, you aren't in the wrong. Now you can say "what if" a dog were to run out, well number one they were way in the grass and the dogs had leashes, and number two theres alot of road to avoid the thing...old man stopped in front of the car...that just ticked me off. got alot to do and no time to do it. anyways....yeah that was my venting for the day.

The super bowl was pretty cool, I like watching a game of football everynow and then. I have 8 essays due tomorrow and I don't have the first one so I'm pretty much screwed. But I've decided to focus on my school work for once and get everything done that I need to. I'm really falling behind with all this ridiculous work. AP History is NOT worth taking...unless you have no life and you have fun doing homework. Well I guess thats all the update for now I'm kinda tired. I don't get subscription digest anymore because of this stupid spam stuff, I took it off but It always ends back on a filter thing. yall take it easy, peace out and rock on \m/ \m/

Hey people, Its hard to believe how horrible some people drive. I mean the least you could do is go the speed limit...you know? ride the max, live life on the edge! 32 mph round that curve!!! I happen to know however that my car will make it 60 withoutan incredible ammount of lean..is it wrong to pass around the curve? if a car was coming usually there would be headlights, if there weren't lights, that would suck lol. but I mean lets flash our brights at the guy that just passed us until hes outta sight. goodness. anyways

Tomorrow is wednesday, I'm looking foward to it because I'm going to wake up early and get some mickey d's for breakfast and be at school at 7 for my wonderful detention duties. should be fun, then I'm going to try to right in last minute numbers for analysis, go to guitar and play out all of my stress..then off to lunch where I owe Jay a few practical jokes. 3rd period art is the time to fake 3 reviews and copy 5 credits while also completeling homework for 4th period, then I'll go home and probably play an hour of online poker and head out to see charlie. Hopefully we can get some playin in before hand and I'll learn the songs and be able to play them where we will sound good. I really need to practice playing that style of music..I'm use to heavier and louder and its like...full of energy. I need to learn to put energy into this kinda music. I mean it is God's music and all, so no matter if it was metal or bluegrass I sohuld be able to play well to it. Being versatile is a cool thing.

School sucks because I'm a procrastinater...and not a good speller. My life's goals are to play music until I lose my hearing and then to be as good as ray charles. Now I'm not a big country fan, at all, but my dad has a van zant cd and a part of one of the songs said "and if you really wanna make God laugh, tell him your plans," I never really thought about it that way. This use-to-be druggie/alcohol filled band member has changed his life around, keeping his passion and singing about God rather than drugs...I really respect that. It showed me alot about things I've looked over in the past. I seen in burger king a picture on the wall that said, "If you pray for rain you better be prepared for a little mud" and That ties into everything that exists...like If you pray for a g/f, be prepared to deal with her moods and nagging (I LOVE you girls don't take it personally lol) or if you pray for a nice Hummer make sure your ready for 10 miles to the gallon. I'm starting to notice things...I know that is a good sign that I'm heading in the right direction. Sometimes before I do something stupid or try to break a promise from myself or right before I indulge in a temptation I don't need...I think twice. I get a gut feeling that tells me I don't need this. nothing serious like drugs, my life is officially clean, no more anything except whats right and whats good. That gut feeling has to be God because its always right. I know this seems ironic or something to somebody but I was playing poker and I got a straight, ok well 3 hearts are on the table and something told me after 2 people went all in that I should chill out this hand, big pot and its tempting but no, sure enough they had the flush. next hand I all ined my full house and really racked up. Theres so many little things that could add up to be God, I mean when you are saved your life is God and usually you just hurt your own reputation but lately I've been really good about stuff...I was inspired.

Inspiration for me comes through music. lately not through drums, but through the piano and guitar. I LOVE the drums but I feel like I'm not that good at them... and I'm not great on guitar or piano or bass or anything instrument but added together I have talent. Obviously from God, so what should I do with it? give it back to Him right? thats my goal. I'm not telling God my plans because even though it'd make him laugh I'd rather make him smile approvingly, but what I really want to do is devote my entire being to playing music strictly for God and stuff. I don't wanna be famous and even though I'd LOVE to drive a lambo or have a cd out at my favoritest store in the whole wide world (walmart) that stuff is temporary, Christ is forever right? kinda like diamonds except even diamonds have a melting point. Point is I'm changing my life and giving it back to the guy that gave it to me. I should respect my parents because they gave birth to me, I should respect God cause without Him there is nothing. I do what my parents ask and I'm a good kid, but I don't do nearly as much as I should for God. I gotta fill that other part.

I know I got religious on yall and you probably didn't read it all or won't read it because its not cool or whatever but you know, its kinda your loss. For those of you that do read this thanx and I'll ttyl, I'll put this on myspace to, mayb eI'll get a comment or two (hint hint) lol. later,

Currently Listening They're Only Chasing Safety By UnderOath Awesome cd see related

Its been a really long time but I'm curious as to who will leave me comments. I actually got one from cassie and shes really cool, kinda reminded me to update. Lately in life I have done nothing more than play music and poker. Back and forth in friendships and all the regular highschool bull crap that everybody goes through but its life, what can ya do? I've vowed to start eating right and all that good stuff like I do every week and just like every week I'll say "this time I'm serious" and like tomorrow you'll see me at mickey d's spending $8 on the dollar menu. lol so the whole try to make myself look better thing isn't working. I've also found that I'm not what girls are currently looking for lol. I'm a nice guy, have alot to offer but I'm not a clean cut, abercrombie wearing guy...really lowers my um....I don't know what it lowers....but from what I've heard its not good.I have a myspace now, under the same name as this...for those of you who didn't know. and I have a yafro on crazed179. I'm caught up in the internet stuff I guess...can't really help it to be honest. seems like this is my only communication...I don't really like calling people.

Just an update, school sucks because of ap history and analysis and I still have guitar and art so that makes it a little better. I found that I can pick up 6th grade girls from the mall...I thought they were talking about brian but apparently not. kinda freaky. I could be the next michael jackson lol jk!!! anyways. yeah I'm TRYING to get more involved with vineville north and stuff, I guess I'll see how it goes. I wanna become a member and start going on a regular basis, for now I'm just there on wednesdays to play in the youth thing which I think is really cool. I like the lessons there. yall should come! anyways enough boring stuff I guess I'm going to let you all go. and I don't have a tv in here but I would be watching viva la bam 4th and 5th season if I did. My exciting weekends are awesome but are becomeing so routine its like...almost boring again. I went from no social life to concerts and racing, playing shows and acting crazy, getting kicked out of stores, making fun of elementary school stoner wannabes, just causeing havoc around macon. that change was the best thing that ever happened to me. still no social life but I don't care lol I have so much fun in life now that other people's opinions dont matter to me. I'm my own person and thats awesome. only problem is after a while, theres only so many crazy things to do around here without getting into too much trouble when your broke.... ok sry I thought I was done, now I am. later,

Currently Listening Break the Cycle By Staind waste see related

Hey people how is life going? Stuff is pretty good in mine. I'm focusing more on my music again, I kinda took a break and was more concerned with hanging at the mall and being stupid with mostly matt, max, my cousin, sometimes andy and just random people matt knows. Its always fun and crazy. But we are going to try out this whole band deal with me matt and max. The other day max played just some progression he thought of and it really fit the style that I play...I'm not like a metal drummer and thats what matt likes to play so its really good to find the influences of another guitarist. For some reason I just clicked playin with max...it was fun on the drums, not just another song. So thats going really good, we are going to practice later today...probably around 3 or so depending on when they get here. I've made a vow to start eating right like I used to. good stuff...

My christmas was good...not the biggest but its understandable you know? It was still a good one. got some cds I wanted, others I bought. I think my fav. christmas presents are gift cards lol. they are perfect cause then people don't buy you stupid stuff you don't need in your house.

Girls are so confusing, not just them but the whole deal...I like kaitlyn still, and we are pretty close. I really trust her and I feel so good around her but we can't go out...reasons are confusing but there are alot of things we don't neccesarily agree on...and thats not a big deal really...I've kept a place for a girl for a really long time...probably my closest friend but she can't fill that place. shes been involved with a dude for forever so thats kinda a lost hope but the thought is still there. but I'm sure I could date kaitlyn again if she was willing to...but sometimes I think that I couldn't and it wouldn't work out again. I think I'll just see what happens. lol confusion!!How bout some random Harley thoughts.

I have found that when all else fails, go play the drums.

When your money goes from plentiful to limping and poor, its usually a good sign to stop buying stuff (except Mc Donalds because that is the best place on earth. I think Gods house (church) is the number one building, but number two is surely mickey d's.)

I can lose weight, I know I can. but I can't run...that is my biggest no-no.  I can't jog and run for exersize. If you see me running down the street, please shoot the guy behind me.

If you see a drug deal taking place, roll down the window and say CRACK KILLS as you SPEED away.

If walmart is closed. its the end of the world.

when it opens back up again, kissing the floor is not uncommon in some states.

When a cop gives you a mean look.....don't give him one back.

When a cop says he's going to impound your car, start sounding really sorry and that you learned your lesson.

When a stalker is in the distance watching you and the cops convo, it makes the cop nervous. (lol cam)

If on New Years your not at an awesome party....I'm sorry somebody has to say it, get a life. lol. live music is always good until the cops come (as they have at every previous jones county concert lol)

Life is never boring with somebody truely fun around.

No matter how many times you go to the mall, there is ALWAYS something else you could do while your there. its never the same twice.

Thats enough lessons for today, I hope yall enjoyed my life's learned stuff or whatever all that was...maybe I was going on about nothing. hopefully my entry gave you something to do in a time of severe boredom and hopefully you read all of it cause I mean if it wasn't important to me I wouldn't have wrote it.

Peace out everybody and remember! Everyday can be a good day if you make it one. tune in next week for the "how to make your days fun and exciting," episode. later.
