To my Sweetie Carolise

I think the world of you
All of my heart I do
Blood through my veins for you
You alone have all of me
I give my world to you
To you I will be true

I think the world of you
With all of my heart I do
This blood through my veins for you
You alone have all of me
From you my strength is so full
To carry your burdens, too
And I give my world to you

I love you so much



God thank you so much for everything you have given me, i couldnt ask for a thing more. God just keep leading me down the path you want of me and i will keep following it.

School is going well i'm busy a lot, i need to laundry way bad.

Hope everybody elses semester is going well, and because its the funny thing to do i'm going to paste a very bad photoshop picture. And i pretty much stole the idea and picture from Kristine Bickler....so please don't hate me.




Oh and as i know that everyone is stressed with school and life i want you all to remember what jesus said to us in Matthew

"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each Day has enough trouble of its own."

-Matthew 6:34

God bless, i hope everyones semester is going well.

Dave matthews band freaking rules, i just got back from the dallas show, and it was a lot of fun. carolise and I went and we had a blast. He played a lot of good stuff, sadly no What would you say, but it was all still good. This jerk in front of me kept bashing them everytime they would start jamming or have a long intro. I really wanted to ask him why he came to the concert then. Because if you don't like jams, or musical intros, why did you come to a dave matthews band concert, because thats what they will play. Geeze.

Hey all you loyal fans time for a quick update....
This weekend has been spent working on scholarship forms and practicing the ewazen, because the forms are due tomorrow, and i'm playing the ewazen for trumpet departmental a week from wednesday. So that's been fun, plus trying to shove in time with the GF, homework, and laundry(which i never finished) has been interesting. But i'm doing ok.

So story time, i was walking around the music building after history lab and i noticed a letter that was about music education scholarships, and i think to myself awesome i could get those, and i read a couple and decide that hey i'm eligible for these, so i go to the music ed resource room and find out that they are due monday, so i'm like crap that just gives me this weekend. But the lady there goes here take these forms and just do them, it won't take a long time and you have a really good shot. She said that last year only 5 people turned in forms and all five got scholarship, and that so far this year only two have turned them in. So i took them and spent all weekend getting it done, and i think i have two really solid recordings for them, and i feel i'm eligible for these scholarships so wish me luck, and if you get around to it pray for me.

The ewazen is coming along great i think it will be ready by next wednesday. so wish me luck on that one.

Well everyone have a great week and before i forget

This wednesday April 5th I will be performing with the Jazz repertory orchestra, and the 8 o clock lab band from 9 till midnight. The cover charge is four bucks, and you can yell things at me all night. If you would like to come it would make me happy and we can take a picture together because i plan on bringing a disposable camera and using the whole thing. So if you would like to come that would make me a happy camper. I will see YOU there.

And as always
Mr

Mar. 21st, 2006 @ 10:48 am wow long time no update
I'm sorry my loyal five readers that i havn't updated in a long time but you know i'm really not much of a blogger anymore. But i'm way tired and i'm sitting in the commons of the music building cause i don't want to walk to the buses yet and i would kind of like to just fall asleep on these couches. Well i hope everyone had a good spring break, i was here relaxing and it was nice, got 35 hours at the cracker barrel yes 225 or so dollar paycheck.

So i'm playing softball for a team called the jets i believe we are playing SAI tonight so bring it on ladies the jets are gonna rocket you.....man that was corny.....i appologize.

Advising tommorw with fisher.
Hopefully my schedule will be as follows
Music history 1750 to present
percussion methods
vocal methods
Mued 3200
Fishers instrumental conducting class
lab band (side note)
Concert band
trumpet lessons
all for a nice and easy 15 credits

(SIDE NOTE) I need advice from people, i've been contemplating not doing a lab band next fall because its losing some of its fun that it once held on me, i mean play jazz chair in the 8 has been fun, but i feel that i just go to rehearsal and hate being there, thats the first time since i started going here where lab band wasn't fun, it could be because i am playing in a lower band, and not in the 3 o clock where i once was, so i'm thinking try out if i make the 3 or the 4 stay in it, if i don't drop lab band. Give me any advice you have.

Oh and if you didn't know my parents are coming to texas in april. FYI
peace dawg

Jan. 22nd, 2006 @ 12:09 am worries that might be unjustified
Current Mood: pessimistic
Current Music: Into the west - Return of the king soundtrack
So as i sit in my apartment finally updating after a good month or so i think about a lot of things whilst listening to music and finishing a sudoku (which is addicting if you have not done them yet). I wonder to myself why is it that i have no close friends, i watched LOTR return of the king and i know that this is not something i can relate to, but i see the friendship between the hobbits and i think why can't i have that here. My roomate is getting married so he doesn't have time for me anymore. No one really calls me to hang out, i know i'm not a party person but i still show up and hang out for awhile if anyone calls me. I know that i have a lot of aquaintances here and a lot of people who care for me. But not really anyone anymore who i feel comfortable just calling up and asking to hang out, and when i do they usually give me that wierd..."um....well i don't know....i'm kind of busy...." and yes i understand that we as college students are all busy, but then i read about them going out to a party, or just not plain doing anything. I realize that i might be overreacting. And i know that i can do it a lot more, but why does it feel so uncomfortable to ask someone who i think is a friend to hang out. There is that weird thing there that i used to not have with my "friends" here. YEs and i know that i have carolise but if i didn't i would just sit on my butt and get fatter, worse at trumpet and god knows what else. Yes i can be moody, and yes i might be worrying about nothing but (no offense parents who might be reading this) i really want to have afriends when i'm a band director and married with a family, other friends that i can hang out with go over watch TV, have a drink and just talk with. I see all these people on facebook who go on little adventures i want to go on little adventures. I feel like i'm always the one who trys to call other people to do something. i just want a few people to come over play mario party, have some drinks and just have fun. I never do that anymore...Am i lazy? i don't know. I really hope i don't sound pathetic or depressed. I'm not I just want more than i have, i love school, i love trumpet, i like my job, i love my girlfriend to death. But when my roomate the person i thought was my best friend who i feel like i don't even know anymore has no time for me, who will. I want a car if i had a car i would just go somewhere. I would go do something. I got invited to a party tonight, can't go don't have a car.... and i think it was a mass text message, so they didn't even really care if i was there or not. Well enought of my rant even though 2 people may acctually read this. Night

p.s. don't worry i'm not mad, sad, depressed or anything. Its just want i've been thinking about.

AND YOUR NEW BLUECOATS 2006 MEMBER IS........














NOT ME!!!!!

yep thats right, ben got the ole' boot. I was cut, and on one side i am upset, but on the other side i'm actually kind of relieved, what i missed about drum corps was the music and just getting to hear it. I don't like to march, i'm not good at it, and i know that. Thats why i got cut, they told me i'm a good player, but i just wasn't wear i needed to be marching wise, so they couldn't ask me back next camp.... So i'm ok with that, and in actuality some of the stuff i experienced this weekend kind of rubbed me the wrong way anyways. So i'm fine with not makin it, i can go home for part of the summer, work at home, and save some money, then i can come back and do some summer school, or vice versa we'll see. Thanks for wishing me good luck those who did.
