Why Stir Things up?


Crazy thing about my study is, that at this time of the day, when the sun is shining through the window and a breeze shakes the trees in my yard, a natural strobe light goes off and on across from my computer for hours....

I suppose most would consider it very cool.... but it also gives me a headache and is very annoying..... wow now its dark....


Hair Cuts Condisdered for Tomorow:

my drum set sound prettier than i expected
and having the set in my room for me to play pressure free gives me confidences i dont have when i play i suppose at a lesson in front of Cam or around kids at school when i sneak in to practice.... this new found, safe haven of confidence has let me fix some of the mistakes i was hitting and i've gotten a lot of the beats down. DISCO, JAZZ, SWING, ROCK


My weekend with MaryCate was very nice indeed, though i did spen a relativly ubsurd time traveling.... 2 hours both ways to the river... 10 plus hours on a train..... or waiting for one.
She gave me a tour of the towns surrounding the river while we listened to some of the mixes i had burned her a few months back. We played monoply till 1:00 am. Though both the dingi and motor boat didnt start, and the wind was too extreme to sail, we took a small motor boat ride on the sail boat, wake boarded, sea kayaked... ate trail mix. Ate clams and curried shrimp, played Japaneese Train Dominos.... slept, woke, sailed, successfullly killed the boat by shrugging down the main sail, getting the jib sheet stuck in the motor, and winning out with a black eye and a flustered but alive boat. It was quite lovely seeing friends from camp again, miss it, discussing the good days.... but the train ride sucked

Once again my sister was successful in picking multiple petty arguments, blaming me, and then continuing by insisting that i'm dumb, have a thick skull, and explains to me how she is so glad that this summer she'll barely see me cause i'm the one thing in life that annoys her.... she's so sensitive... all i wanted to do was go to the hardware store without her snapping at me about how she's a slave always driving me places... pfft...

Seems as though it will be possible to have a lovely little shin dig for maria before she's off to the montanas. (not montana that was spanish for mts. but i dont have a tilda). We'll have a lovely little barbeQ in my backyard... along with brick oven pizzas and sushi, fruit sala, CAKE, hot tubin, kids. (by that i mean teens, not having children as in birth)

So close.... 14 days

success
i supose
cam and i took an hour and a half drive out to Plymouth Point to the guitar center to buy a drum kit. There were some beautiful ones... but out of my price range...
after sitting around trying to get the best deal... we ended up purchasing 2 sets of sticks and a ride symbol.... for $130. We then ate some lunch as i educated Cam on the wonders of Indie Rock and free music off of myspace... then we purchased a kit online that will be here in 5 days.... 5 piece set with high hat and crash... deep midnight blue... supposdly quality for what we payed.

i'm tired
and afraid of opening my assignment book to see what #### i have to do today
i've been working too hard at this

and this weekend sucked.
i only had fun at the motel and the last 2 hours at the park when katie, bert and amos and i ran sprinted through each coaster singing captain planet

but was it worthwile
i dont know
