bright life, merry go 'round
Life goes on and things go as they are ment to be. Things happen for a reason, often ones we don't see or at least not right away. :)
The court date got changed from Dec 27 to Jan 27th. Which I don't really care about, I just didn't want the trial so far off. >_< We kinda need the money now, truthfully several months ago... but as long as we get it I don't really mind. After all it was actually the court house who chose the date, not Kei or I. :) Funny and ironic to those who are in tune with it personally.
The band is progressing well. Tiara decided to presue her college career track for now, which we totally support and still love her. We'll just hang out and do music together on the side for fun.
Meanwhile, the band goes on. Kei and I decided to go duo on this. Which we don't mind, it just means we'll each work harder. We also decided we're going to look into investing on a new computer for band purposes only so we can record and mix our own music. Of course, that's months away. But at least with two of us, our goals will be more focused and achieveable. I'm looking into finishing my drum set. This week I'm going to put some money down to buy some Zildjian ZBT cymbals (a 20" ride, 18" crash and 18" china). A local music store is giving me a great disacount on them (Only about $240), so i'm taking full advantage. :D And their layaway plan allows me to slowly pay it off in three months. So i'm happy about that. ^_^ My next goal will be getting the snare and then the hardwear. Then my set will be complete.
My job is being a.... job. Unhappy one. They did manage to hire on two new girls, which will help us out, but at the same time it can hurt me. Bceuase i just strated getting great hours, and since they hired two new girls.... I'm sure my hours are heading back to crappy again. -_- SO sadly I may be stuck deciding one of two things: find a job with more hours *now*, or the other option, stick this job out until the spring when there will be more job options. I need money yesterday, but I don't want to jump into another crappy job. So far I did find one full time job, but it's a night shift. >_< And considering where we live, I wouldn't be able to handle doing that. So... as it stands, I might just keep the job I have now and find a new one in the spring.
Health.... not the best right now, but as long as I can still stand and go to work, i see myself as doing ok. Kei has a cold or flu and I'm starting to catch it now. ;_; I pray to gods i dont, tho. So I'm doing what I can to keep mine at bay.
We're looking into going to the A-Con next year, but I'm still unsure if I want to go. Kei already has a ticket. I just don't know if I want to go or just invest my money in my band equiptment. I'm considering the band equiptment. Not that I wouldn't LOVe to go (because I really do) I just want to get the band up and going asap. Having fun and going places like that just seem to make the dream further off in my mind.
I'm enjoing reading th4e book "Behind the Mask" about the japanese culture. It is awesome. I love it. It is helping me understand the japanese culture and people better and give me a upphand for when we do move there and follow our career hopes. Just by reading it, I feel more connected to the Japanese people and culturte than to my own. I'm pretty sure that's why I love Japan so much... it was like I was always ment to go there.
That is all for now. Ja ne!
