Blah ... ?

Even after spending a ton of time with my friends this weekend, I still feel alone.

I don't like feeling alone.

Whoa!

Where has the time gone?! I swear this semester is already flying by ... I can't believe January is almost over! Ahh. School, my internship & work have kept me insanely busy. The past two nights I've spent with friends but it was long overdue. Sometimes I really really need it.

This week will be crazy. I have to meet with two groups for projects, I have a test Wednesday and a 7 page paper due Thursday night. Then next weekend is our mini-road trip :) Yay.

Burning Plastic

Definitely not the most pleasant smelling thing in the world, but what are you going to do? Today my task at the Internship was to laminate the all access passes for the Promoters for the upcoming Stellar Kart Tour. I did about 50 I do believe. Friday will be the band / touring personnel, and of course for us in the office :) Don't even know for sure yet if I'll be able to make it to a show (closest is 3 hours - boo!) but if I do ;)

We'll be doing the Kutless ones probably some time next week. I know I'll be able to see them, as they are playing about 45 minutes away in April. Sweet birthday present to me!

Tonight I'm off to see Through a Glass. Always a pleasure to attend one of their shows!

NEXT PLEASE.

Today was one interesting day, I will say that. This morning, I was up at the crack of dawn to head to the Sommet Center for the Sound & Speed Event. Basically, it was one big autograph signing with Nascar Drivers & Country Singers. We were each assigned to a group before we got there. Cody & I somehow ended up in group #3. Some pyshco people were with us, but whatever. Got our assignments for artists/drivers, and were like 'oh noone for the 3rd group.' Turned over the paper. OH WAIT. Just kidding. Here's what our schedule of people was like:

Session A:
Scott Wimmer & Cowboy Crush

Session B:
Michael Waltrip & Danielle Peck

Session C:
Dale Earnhardt Jr. & Taylor Swift

Basically, the biggest draw of the day were the last two. Insane is an understatement. Slightly hard to describe ... media was crazy swarming around them, which made getting the fans through even more difficult. But whatever. We pushed 250 people through Dale Jr.'s line in about 35 minutes ... pit crew speed record for sure!!

Then I had about 45 minutes to come back & get changed and head to Brentwood to meet the diehards and these guys that go by Ben, Adam, Jeremy, Brandon & Andy or collectively, This Beautiful Republic. We decided since they are pretty awesome & in town recording for awhile that we'd treat them to dinner :) Spent about two and a half hours at Applebee's with them and it was a lot of fun. Crazy stuff that will be for another day!

Anyways, here's a picture.



And I'm gonna crash. Been up way to long.

It's like ... a tradition

So it's a school tradition for them to host a concert on the first night of classes in the fall semesters. But it's worked out the past two spring semesters that bands we know are also playing shows on the first night of classes. Fall '06 semester Jars of Clay played at school. Spring '07 semester we went to see Family Force 5. This past Fall semester, Mikeschair, Bebo Norman & Shane and Shane played here at school. And tonight, Wavorly was playing in town.

I really hope this trend continues. It's a unique way to kick off a new semester of school, for sure.

Damn Ice

Had to go to the dentist today for my 6th month check up. Go figure, I had to drive and there was about 6 inches of snow that had fallen since last night. All was fine til I was leaving the dentist office and hit the top step (which was convienently covered in ice) and totally wiped out. I was shaken up and went to the car, but my grandparents came & picked me up and took me to the ER to get x-rays on my back (I couldn't take deep breaths).

Now that I've been home for 5 hours, I'm starting to ache in more places. My left ankle is messed up & I'm limping and I think my tailbone is bruised as well.

Great, just what I need.

Happy New Year!

Here's to another year down, and a brand new one starting.

Here's to hoping & praying that this year will be a great one in all aspects of our lives!
