schlitz

well, i tried to update this week but i couldn't figure out how to on my phone. at least i tried though. lots has happened this week. over all it has been a great week.

turns out i got the job at the hospital. from now on i work 7 days straight. 830 pm to 6 am. sucky shift i know but after the seven i'm off for seven. that starts next thursday and you guessed it, i'm' off til then. whoot.

school started back and i can tell i'm gonna grow a lot this semester. the classes i have a sweet and i have prolly the coolest teachers ever, especially my english teacher. i think i'll be able to learn more from her cause she's really passionate about her job and that makes class much better.

i'm supposed to take a singing class this year but to get in it i have to try out and sing for the department. i'm prolly gonna wimp out cause i am awful. the only reason i'm taking it is so i can get a little better just so i can make choir.

i've also been stretching myself in talking to people. i'm awful at approaching people. i really am. but i'm working on that. i'm building confidence. yesterday i approached three girls and talked to them. two were passes and one was a horrid fail.

the fail didn't have much hope to begin with. it was a girl i kinda used to talk to, but hadn't talked to her since then which was about a year. so i threw my pencil all the way across the guc and it landed right next to her. it might have even hit her leg. i walk up and said, sorry, i dropped my pencil, but anyways how are you today miss. she didn't acknowledge me one bit. prolly the worst thing thats ever happened to me but i'm over it.

the guys who talk to the most girls also get rejected by the most girls. i'm not trying to get girls or whatever i'm just making a point. you can't expect to be great at meeting people and approaching people without practicing. btw, i'm kinda talking to a pretty young lady anyways. she's cool.

anyways, guitar update.

prolly gonna try to buy a super reverb next week. or at least put it on lay a way.

and all this time i've bought electric guitar crap i've started just playing acoustic stuff and i'm writing what i feel is alot of great stuff. if i get a few more songs i might try to record them.

anyways, i'm gonna do laundry. more to come later.

i'm virtual

i'm starting a blog. whoot. i prolly won't keep up with it very well, but i'm gonna try.

today is a monday and i have to work but school starts back this week and i couldn't be more excited. i'm taking  a butt ton of music classes and a few boring basics as usual. i've got big plans for this semester. hopefully i can talk my parents into cosigning with me so i can get a guitar amp. that would be so awesome

a few choices as of today, it'll prolly change.

dr.z stang ray
fargen mini plex
65 amp soho
divided by 13
vox ac30 heritage

anyways, enough about guitar stuff. some things thats on my mind. i play alot of guitar pedals and effects. but my favorite artists don't use them. ex derek trucks. i find that ironic. the one guy who i love more than anybody, i share nothing in common with him. hopefully one day when i magically start singing well, i'll graduate and learn how to play guitar and can get away with just a les paul and a jtm45. thats where i'm headed in music.

in life, i'm headed towards servanthood. its the only way to live. people are weird being and they respond to different things. and servant hood is one thing that weighs heavy on the heart of all men and can break through so much hurt, discouragement, and heartache. it also can cause men to become humble. those that are served that is. thats why we are all told in the good book to become a servant unto all men. when we get blessed and someone serves us, we need to return the favor to someone else.

living life close to the feet of others is a good thing. jesus washed feet. its hard to fall and stumble when you're already on the ground serving and worshipping.

that is all.
