What's shakin' kiddos? Well, I'm updating from work again. Everyone in my department is out at a graduation, so I'm here by myself waiting for time to go by. So it's not so bad. But good Lord does time go by slow when you got nothing to do and the office is hot. Geez. Anyways....on with the update...
Ok, so NHI is going pretty well. I actually went to a weekday meeting yesterday, and it was awesome getting back into it. I wish I wasn't so tired, cause I would've gotten into it even more, but it was still fun. These kids are doing pretty good, and I'm excited to see how they're going to do.
Me and the Good Guy upstairs are doing quite well. I just need to get back into my faith a bit. Right now, aside from going to church, I've been pretty stagnant. Hopefully I can find something to do. But aside from that, things are good. He's been opening eyes...a lot.
SWEET HEREAFTER UPDATE!!!
Ok, so we finally got a date for our next show. It's going to be July 1 at Kristoph's at 9pm. Get there right at 9, cause we'll probably start at like 9:15, and it's going to be pretty damn good. We're trying something new...it's called practicing. lol. But yeah, we've been practicing all new cover songs this week and we're getting together today to clean em up. They're all brand new covers we've never played before. Here they are:
Copeland "Pin Your Wings"
JamisonParker "Paper Rock Scissors"
Saves the Day "At Your Funeral"
Oasis "Wonderwall"
Copeland "Coffee"
The Early November "Baby Blue"
Daphne Loves Derby "Come Winter"
We've got one more we're going to play, but we're not saying what it is. It's really gonna surprise everyone. I don't think anyone's going to expect this kind of song from us. I might even be singing in a different language. Crazy huh? You never know. Anyways, so yeah...it's gonna be good. Next week Dan and I are gonna get together and try to write a new song so we got more than just new covers. But anywho, really try to make it out guys (I know a few of the regulars that go are going to be at LDZ, but that's ok). Also, an early reminder, we're playing a show July 12 with our friends from West Virginia, Time and Distance. Check em out at
http://www.purevolume.com/timeanddistance or at
http://www.timeanddistance.com/index2.htmThey're an awesome band, and they're even better guys. So clear your calendars for that day. Tuesday July 12...the location is still up in the air, but I'll have that cleared up real soon. But yeah...that's all for now.
Other than that, life's been pretty damn good. I've been hanging out with some really cool people, and have been really enjoying the way things are going. Before I go, I'll leave you with a few lines from one of my favorite books. It's by Russell Banks...it's calles Rule of the Bone.
You live from moment to moment. They all flow into one
another,and you almost never catch one like this
that's separate from the rest. It felt like a precious
diamond and I was holding it up to the sunlight
between my thumb and my forefinger and all these cold
blue and white and gold colored sparks of light were
jumping off of it.
Peace out homies!!!
Oh yeah, and to clear up some confusion, the recent subject titles I've been using are lines from the song I've been listing under music. A lot of people have been asking if I'm ok and stuff cause they think the subject lines are directly from my head/heart, but they're just lyrics...so relax
