Hakkuna Matata…

So last night I got the invite to go to a show back near the hometown and I have to say, it was awesome. I don’t know if you have ever heard of some of the bands, the Rocket Summer, All Time Low, Forever the Sickest Kids, and La Matches (its French). The show was tight. It has been a while since I had been to a good show with some upbeat in your face type music. This helped. A lot. Ha ha. Anyways, what I want help with is this made me realize how incredibly much I want to start a band. I know, everyone does at some point, but when I was in the pit last night, right up in the faces of All Time Low, I thought to myself, I can do that, sure, may not be as tiny as some of the bands are now, but I can play guitar like he was doing, nothing hard about it. I may not sing the best, but lets face it, the only band with great vocals last night was Bryce Avery, just cuz Bryce Avery is incredible at anything he decides to do… jealous? Yes. But I mean, nothing a few vocal lessons couldn’t fix. So anyone out there play anything? Want to learn? It’s not to late. I just want to play one show. Like Jack Black says, “All we need is one show; one show could change the world.” You know, the world doesn’t have to be everyone, could be Chico, or good Sac-town, even Woodland. Doesn’t even have to be superb. Come on, I know some of you play instruments. Let me know! Peace. 

So as of lately, I have been in a rut with life. Not like things are going bad, I mean, I’m not complaining, things are pretty good. But it’s with things right now in my life that have been nagging at my heart to get right, and I have been struggling with them. Again, not badly, just I don’t want to slip any further. Like money, and a job right now, I need one badly, and school, I am starting to feel myself slipping there, and most important, church. I haven’t found it in me to be able to attend whether it me not being home early enough to get up for it, or not being in town, or something, I am just finding reasons. I don’t want that to be the case any longer. So yes, tis true, help wanted. Push me around and help me stay focused. Thanks ya’ll. Peace. 

With March Madness under way, who do you have taking it all? Any predictions? Scores or anything? Upsets? I say right here we open up a prediction poll for the Final Four. Reply with the four teams you think will make it in, who will advance, and who you got in the chip. Whoever wins I’ll have a prize in line for you. Good Luck!! Peace.  

So sorry I said I was going to get back into blogging, but I really searched, and nothing came to me like hey, share this. But things have been going great. Life is wonderful. Really is. I mean, I could use a job, but other than that, things aren’t in any way going bad. A little update, I have been owning in school this semester. Just taking it to Butte this semester. Been looking for a job when I can. Hoping something will be out there. Been working on a lot of music lately, and drawing a lot. Trying to think and figure out where I want to end up in the next couple years of my life. It’s hard when I have my goals and things I want to do with my life, but I have people I care about and love telling me it’s a waste of time and will get me no where. Telling my dreams, my ambitions, my wants and desires will amount to nothing and that I should focus on making as much money as I can. Now I don’t know how many of you out there are college students, or were at one time, but to me, being a college student definitely teaches you that things are possible without tons of money. I mean, now I’m not to the point where I have to live off of pop tarts and Ramen, but there is that sense of urgency like, oh yea, no more parents cooking, no more gas money from them, no more extra stuff every once in a while. Never been a man to take hand outs unless I really needed them, and I have always tried to structure myself to pay it back to people. Tried to make myself realize money ain’t everything, but it helps. (Yes you English majors, I said ain’t, woops) But I have things in my life planned out, what I would like to see myself doing and I know that money is gonna be sketch. I also know that whenever I was really in a bind, God has always provided. Now I haven’t been able to wake up for church because of nights like getting home at 4 in the morning, but I really want to work on that. It’s gonna be my Saint Patty’s Day Resolution. Any of you make resolutions that you have forgotten about and want to make a new? We can make em here. But as for today, I’m getting ready to head out to get some things done today. Spring break this week, so perfect time to do some “spring cleaning” for myself, maybe the apartment to haha. Hope all your guys’ days are awesome. Peace. 

So over at Brody Harper’s blog, he started this new “thing” so I thought I would get back into the blogging realm and start here. I’m gonna talk about Ian O’leary. For those you that don’t know, I went to school with this big guy and no we went separate ways. He’s playing college ball for the Saint Mary’s (Ca) Gael’s. His team is in the big dance, well, as it stands for right now. But you can check up on his status online and such and make sure to pull for them. As it stands right now, they open up against West Virginia, one of the power houses in the nation right now. So keep your fingers crossed. But I love this guy and I know he’s going far in his life. He works hard, he plays harder, and he loves life. So make sure to shout out when you see Saint Mary’s in the tourney this year. Also, make sure to go over to Brody’s blog and check out some other positive posts and have a great day as always. Peace. 

I know it’s been a while since I have blogged, but to be completely honest, I haven’t had anything I wanted to blog about, or I just didn’t feel like sharing. But now I can say I’m ready to be social again. Sorry to do that to you. But I got some more leads on a few jobs this week, so hopefully that will be good. Most places are telling me I’m a shoe-in for the summer, but I’m thinking I need one now. I’m dwindling away. Fading from the workforce I once used to be so prominent in. Three jobs at once? To none? It makes me cringe. But hopefully things are a changing. Keep your fingers crossed. 

But despite being jobless, I’m still finding my self very busy with school. Guess thats what happens when you apply yourself. Its funny. Well, no, it’s not, but technically this is the hardest I’ve worked in college. I’ve found ways to basically distract myself from being bored if you wanna call it anything. Working out, writing songs, being dead sexy, playing guitar, drawing, recording random stuff, homework, or just applying for jobs. Yes, I know how it’s funny that homework and applying for jobs came last, but thats what it is. 

But for now stay tuned and I will try to be more consistent on updating this, like I had been. I had a big time crush for a while there, but I have come to realize things might not work. I’ll keep you posted. Peace.
