Lets Catch Up

I havent been able to post any blogs the last few days just cause I've been pretty busy. A couple of days ago Ben came over after work and slept over. We made a late night Perkins run, and hit up Walmart after. Before we went to bed to LANed HALO. It was an okay session. No one really showed up except for Ben and I. That night I figured out why some people don't like playing Halo. If you suck, you probably are not going to want to play with some elite people. It seems like the people that suck always give up half way or avoid the game. There are only a select few in our group that actually like to be challenged. Its pretty obvious when you look at the current status of the people I hang out and it kind of makes me sad because most of the people I hang out with are very kind at heart. They just dont ever push them selves. I'm not saying that if you suck at Halo you are going to fail at life, but that is just an example of an extention of their personalities. I think suburban life has affected them all in a way where they think they can have what ever they want when ever they want. If they start failing at it, they quit and the thought of getting better at something is skipped.

We played Halo until 6 in the morning and after we got cleaned and headed over to Peters. There Ben and I put our minds together agian and got alot further on our latest song. Ben got his guitars in and put in this sweet bell part. Later Peter got some sweet drums in that turned out nice. I finally had a chance to put some vocals in. I feel they were not the best, but I need practice to get better. This is pretty much my first chance and I was pretty nervous since everything else was sounding so good. I look foward to a couple of more opportunities where hone and craft what I want myself to sound like. I challanged myself and I want to be a better singer. The screaming in the song sounded good enough to me, but the vocals are still a little off. Agian, the challenge I presented with myself isn't going to be easy, but my competitive nature makes it so exciting. I guess you just have to be born with drive and passion (I should have stated this above). I also want to work on writing lyrics. I made these lyrics kind of quick thinking that I might have a chance to lay them down the first night Ben and I worked on the song. In the future I hope to have a couple of hours to think about an emotion and an event that has effected me and put some true "guts" and "spirit" into the lyrics. Making music with Ben has to be one of the funnest things I can do right now. It would be awesome to do it for a living and actually make money doing something we would do anyways.

After we finished at Peters we went to the Osseo ice arena and watched some of Nick and Jon's hockey game. Of course I cheered my little yellow ass off. The next morning, I was so jet lagged from the sleep over I woke up close to 11 a.m. I only had time to do some chores and get cleaned up so I didnt have time to blog. The sad thing is I rushed myself to a day filled with nothing. I wanted to have a few days where I did nothing, but now it just feels like I am wasting my winter break so I got to get active. Thats why Mitch and I planned for a little more upbeat day. Matinee movie and thrift store action! We plan on watching the new Will Smith joint "In Pursuit of Happiness." The movie looks very emotional and I probably will cry like a little bitch (Which reminds me I have to look up movie times. This blogging service works wonders!). Then thrift store. We dont know which one yet. I talked to some people and I plan on visiting some old highschool friends one of these times. Nick and Jon have hockey games tonight and I always have fun screaming at little kids. They are on seprerate teams and play at seperate arenas so which ever is more convenient is the one I will go to.

I wish I could get into more detail about everything I just talked about but it is now 12:10 and I need to get cleaned up for the day.
Have a beautiful day everyone! (I really dont think anyone reads these haha)

God I'm Behind
