i'm going to college!

no no, i didn't get IN anywhere yet, BUT everything is just about wrapped up for my applications to every one of my NINE schools. Right now the top of the list seems to be belmont, lewis and clark, and pepperdine (in no particular order). Everywhere else is cool too, we'll see what happens, but hopefully everything will be out of my hands and into those admissions people's hands by next week.

colleges had me going crazy earlier this week. maybe it was the lack of sleep from the weekend, or being sick and going to school, but i thought i had to audition for belmonts school of music by wednesday and basically was a miserable person for about 2 days until everything cleared up. the auditions arent until january or february. but for a good couple hours i felt powerless in the realm of music, which is pretty bad considering how much i like music and like to think i'm not so bad at it. You see, most schools of music want you to know how to read music, and site read music.. and i know my Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge and FACE and all that stuff we learned in 5th grade, but the rest is all guitar chords and melodies happily floating around without all the notation!

I've truly come around though, the week took a turn for the better on wednesday. i guess i just got my shit together and worked things out. now i'm great! i havent been able to record this week for two reasons, the first is the computer i use was in the other building.. the second reason-- because i have no voice.


anyway, i am completely looking forward to the show coming up on wednesday! If i'm feeling better and can sing again i will be sarenading you all inbetween these bands performances. If you havent heard about it already here's the line up (not in this order):
This Day and Age (amazing band! check them out)
The Spill Canvas
Julian Gallows
The Last Broadcast
There's Always Forever


The show starts at 5pm, $7 at the door of The Barn, 2410 spencerville Rd, Spencerville, MD, 20868.


Definitely come if you can, I promise you, you will NOT regret it, 3 of the bands are on tour. Many of you have heard of The Spill Canvas, and my favorite of the night will be This Day and Age. If you haven't been to the barn, now would be the perfect time to check it out... its a great place to be!


nothing extremely deep on this post.. haha, one note though- make sure you're happy, or working for something you will be happy about. there's so much to love in life from people to music (and amazing concerts at the barn next wednesday) to art and all kinds of other things. maybe its christmas time thats got me all feelin good (even though i havent bought presents yet and i dont have time too!) I dont feel like stressing and i'll just try to work things out and let ppl know i love them.


two more things - i put this new song i'm still writing here - so listen (its called scattered) and hear the other songs if you havent yet.

and... a new found favorite named Andrew Norsworthy


okay thanks for reading, (dont forget about the show!.. AND money left over from paying the bands on tour goes to guatemala-- so bring your friends!)


much love,
