YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so... i know i haven't used this damn thing in a long ass time. but, i decided since i'm bored to update people who actually still use livejournal and haven't given in to the plagues of facebook and/or myspace (both of which i'm guilty of)
so... life in statesboro has been pretty damn swell. classes are pretty good for the most part, except for my astronomy class because i can never stay awake. but i'm finally getting into classes for my major so its good that i'm actually learning things i give two shits about. i've been meeting a lot more people and now i actually feel like i have a place down here. its taken a lot of getting used to, but fortunately i've had a lot of help from my friends.
i've been spending a bunch of time at the radio station (91.9 the buzz) this semester, and honestly its probably one of the best things i've ever done. i've benn given a lot of opportunity to devote myself to broadcasting, and it couldn't be any cooler. i started out as a member of the music committee, picking new music to be played on the station, and a few weeks ago the program director offered me a radio show on sunday morning. so needless to say, this is an absolute dream come true for me. i've been waking up early on sundays since i started and listened to myself to see what i can improve on. i'm hoping that next semester i'll get a better time slot for my show so i can go live instead of voicetracking my show beforehand. nonetheless, the experience is pretty much the exact thing i was looking to do in college and i've actually done it, and succeeded.
working with watch it bleed has continued to go well when we've practiced when i come back to atlanta. when i come back home for the holidays we are going to re-record our demo to improve whatever we can. i'm really happy that so far the band has had a good bit of success since we started playing in may. we recorded a five song demo before i moved back down to statesboro, and we're going to redo the five songs we have and hopefully add two more. i think we can do it. the new songs should be pretty damn good. the new one we've kind of been working on is probably our most brutal, and the other one is a grindcore style song... so we'll see what happens.
i am pretty sure that i forgot to mention that my parents no longer reside in lilburn. so whenever i go back home, i'm usually in lawrenceville or at my parents' new house in grayson. The house is very nice, but i still really miss the other house. i guess i'll just have to deal.
yeah, and i'll be an employee of outback steakhouse yet again over break. sweet.
well, that sums it up all my thoughts right now. i probably will forget about this thing for the next year though.... oh well.
peace
