This day was a weird one, it started out bad, but ended incredibly good. I had an odd day yesturday, went for a big run at night to clear my head, and it felt good. Even though I'm super busy with practicing and school, I'm trying my hardest to keep in shape. And then came home to try and learn my improv tunes for the test the next day, and didn't have a very successful time doing so. I woke up the next morning, feeling like shit and i"m not sure why. It could have been in my head, but I think I actually made myself sick, it's weird how that is. but in any case, Tom wouldn't let me do it, and I just wanted to get it out of the way, but I actually went home and slept for 2 hours, and then got up and went and ate some food, then felt better, so I practiced for a while. Now I'm just going to chill and watch friends!!!
I'm running every tuesday, thursday, and sunday mornings, and lifting weights on Monday, Wednesday, friday, and saturday. so I'm really starting to notice a difference in not only my body, but my ability to focus, and practice, and create good improvising lines. It's neat to think that only taking 45 minutes of your 24 hours, can actually affect you that much, and keep you in good shape. I also recieved today the energy bars that my mom made in Winnipeg, because I dont' have a stove, and thanks again Leah for the recipe, I apprecaite it.
I started playing piano seriously this year, and I really really like it. Not only does it give me a completely different perspective on the tunes that I'm doing, but it also helps me memorize, and get a lot of different ways to lead into different harmonies, makes you think, thats for sure.
Rob and Tim came in last weekend, and it was really nice to see them, I haven't heard Rob play in a LONG time, and I forgot how good he was, it was SUPER cool to just sit and jam with him and Tim, even though I was playing piano, I had a TON of fun. Once I get my piano chops up, i'll be doing a lot better. Rob kind of inspired me while he was here, made me want to practice more, and just pay more attention to what was going on, it was nice. we had a good time though, did some shots, and went and seen Kula play at Houstons. It was good weekend.
Hope everyone is doing well, i'll check in again in a while.
