U2 WAS AMAZING! :] Oh, And The Rest of My Week.
Oct 22nd
So, I haven’t blogged in awhile…sorry
Well, so…
Saturday: Did some last minute packing for Oklahoma trip…ate, talked on the phone some…then around 5pm we headed out…many songs and silliness-ness later…we arrived in Ada, OK where my sister Amber lives at about 7:30pm’ish?
We unpacked the musical gear from the truck…then headed to Blue Moon Cafe…which, is where this was taken of Jessie ![]()
Then we headed to the church to practice…Josh, Jessie, Amber, Michael (her husband), and I played for my sister’s church on sunday morning ;]
After about 2hrs we were done learning about 6 songs…most of which were new to Amber and Michael…and 1 was new to us all except Josh, who wrote it…and writes most of what we play…we being The Joshua Band aka. Josh, Jessie, Chris(who couldn’t come) and I…
And jeez…my hands we’re literally about to bleed and we’re blistered…and ripped in 3 places…because they have their drums in a box thing…so you have to beat the heck out of them to get dynamics ![]()
After that we headed to Michael’s dad Mickey’s house, and unpacked…that is where we slept ![]()
And I talked to my Madison till about 4:30am that night…long story…..and to you Madison…thank you, and I believe and accept it now…hopefully over time I’ll learn to trust in it more and make use to it like you have my love….
Sunday: Woke up about 9am…got ready, and headed to Life Community Church to play :]
After church, we headed to Rib Crib (delllicious :]), and this is where I took a pic of my hands seen here…this picture doesnt do them justice to how bad it was sadly ![]()
after that we went back to Pastor Mickey’s house and changed…then around 4pm we headed over to Amber’s house…then at around 4:30pm we headed out to Norman, OK….To see U2
![]()
got there, got inside, found our seats…and at around 7pm Black Eyed Peas started…They were good…but dude with the mo-hawk cannot sing worth a crap live…but My Humps, Boom Boom Pow, I Gotta Feeling, and Big Girls Don’t Cry was still awesome live though :] Will-i-am and Fergie are still awesome sounding live :]
Then at around 8:45pm U2 started :] EEE!:D…..and LORD GOD JESUS…I had a Concertgasm
Like seriously…it’s gonna be hard to enjoy any other concert now…I mean think about it…I’ve seen the best one in every way…so now everything else will fall short in all but prob one or two areas hah. Vids here. Pics here or here
Then after the amazing show (we got out at about 12:20am) we drove home…got home around 2am because of the crazy traffic…and headed to bed.
Monday: didn’t wake up till around 1pm haha…then we woke up, went to Amber’s house for a bit….went and ate at Braum’s…then went back to the church loaded up our gear, then went to Amber’s house again…and chilled there till around 3:20pm when we headed out…
Got home at around 5:20pm…then I talked on the phone till around 1am. and went to bed.
Tuesday: What did I do tuesday? not alot haha…Talked on the phone, worked on random Gfx, uploaded U2 videos and pictures…and oh, stayed up till 5am fixing the church’s pc…I fixed it at around 10pm…it was a bad PSU…and I happened to have a spare one from eariler…and fixed it…then I got anything off of it we could use (Dad bought it from another church that was shutting down, and selling off their stuff for $100)…
Then reformatted it, and installed a fresh new install of Windows XP – Vortex 3G RED Edition, then loaded it with software we need like MediaShout, WinDVD, K-Lite Codec Pack…etc and other software you need really like Auslogics BoostSpeed, CCleaner, Filezilla…etc ![]()
After doing all that, upgrades, fixing random stuff like missing audio and ethernet drivers, and cleaning off un-needed hardware…it was around 5am
Wednesday: Today? not alot…talked on the phone with Madison alot, done homework, messed with stuff on the pc, talked on the phone some more…chatted with some old friends I haven’t in a long while on Facebook (Hi Sparky!
), and then started this.
So that has been my weekend /week. :]
Little late…but it’s for a reason.
Oct 16th
Hello all, and sorry its so late…well for me making this anyway hah (currently 3:24am CST)
Well first off, went to classes, and they went well :] got to talk to some classmates, who are new friends I’m slowing making (hopefully) haha…
Had to sit in traffic for 1 1/2hrs though on the way home…there was a nasty 4 car wreck on Lake Lewisville bridge
fun, no?
Then I got home, talked to my love, Madison (sorry, you’re still feeling sick dear
), and checked my email….and you know what I had in the inbox?
– time for infomercial!
It was a PayPal notification of payment from Pickydomains.com, whom I joined as a contributor recently, and within the first day I had someone pick one of my suggestions for a domain. :]
So check it out if you want! It’s legit, fast, and easy to make a quick buck ($25 per picked domain) if your creative making a domain name (and well after you check to make sure its not taken that is…I use GoDaddy.com domain search to do so) :]
– end infomercial
and yeah, rest of day was mostly spent on the phone with Madison….up until around 7pm when my sissy Amber, who lives in Oklahoma got here! :] Then we ate supper, watched Fringe(I
it), and then around 10pm Madisono called me back…and that’s all I did…up till 12:10l 12:10
English: World English Bible - WEB
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
WP-Bible pluginam….that’s when we got a call from Sarah, my sis-in-law, that Brandon my oldest bro was sick, and couldn’t hold anything down, so he was constantly puking
So, we went over to their house to watch their kids, while she took him to the emergency room…and we did so, all of us, except Josh…and we was there up till about 2:40am…when they got back…apparently Brandon has Influenza…not Swine Flu…but still bad Influenza
Then we headed home, grabbed some hot chocolate and goodies at RaceTrac in Denton…then I got on here and started blogging :]
Fun day, eh?
EEK! I sorrys! :[
Oct 14th
I haven’t blogged in a few days…oops!
well…HI!
So, recap needed of the weekend? Not really…but I will anyway!
Sunday:
Woke up at 9am, got ready, and went to church, had our pre-service practice at 9:30am, and church started at 10:30am…worship went well…Dad’s sermon this week was really good, but like it can be was a “toe-stomper” subject
church let out and we headed to Luigi’s Pizza Italian Restaurant and ate some grub with my fam fam and Joseph Weaver and his fam :] I got Lasagna! mmm :] then we headed home, and from then on I was on the phone off and on with Madison. :]
Monday:
Hmm…well Monday was pretty bland, except getting to talk to my love after she was out of school :] Oh, I guess I could mention that Monday night I started messing around in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver CS4 again trying to refresh myself, and get back into the habit. I’m going to start making something in Photoshop (or Illustrator) daily…even if its useless and random, just to keep refreshed, and to get practice in!
That, and I’m trying to figure out how to make WordPress themes
Oh! Oh! I got really bored in Photoshop too Monday night and made all of these!
Tuesday:
Also pretty bland…except for once again talking to my love off and on when she was out of school :] — and a side note to my love, sorry you had a bad day today *kiss* I hope I helped make it better in some way throughout the day
*kiss kiss* I Love You, My Angel :]
and that pretty much sums it all up, because I talked on the phone to me Madisono! And I ate grilled chicken with my fam fam + Aaryn = all my fam fam soon enough anyways
So yeah, that’s been My weekend/Monday/Tuesday/Why do I keep/Everything I say?/No/Idea/Huh/That’s just/Odd./././.
Oh, and yeah. Haven’t done this in awhile…and I really should have
Please check out these few sites by simply clicking on the pictures, and if your heart calls and beacons you, like it did, and does mine, then please join these causes…
It would mean alot to me, to many unborn babies wanting to live, and also to confused and hurt teens/adults needing love.
Practice makes…decent?
Oct 10th
Well, my day started out late…I woke up at 12:30pm
Anyway, I pretty much chilled at home and talked to my Madison all day up till around 5:30pm when I showered, then left for my church, in Denton. When we(Dad, Mom, Hailey[niece], and I) got to the church, I talked to everyone who was there for awhile. Then Cody came to my church about 6:40pm, and we left to go to Grace Fellowship to practice a song he wrote…
Oh, btw I’m now basically part of 3 bands: My church’s worship team, The Joshua Band, and now Cody’s band which has yet to be named :]
Anyway, we got there and UGH…I had to use the electronic drums already there for this week…and Lord God Jesus…I forget how much they suck…mehh. But I managed to get through the practice decently, despite having no real dynamics (which caused me to blister my hands horribly because out of habit I play harder to sound louder.), but we got it basically down in the 1hr of practice we had…so that’s good I guess :]
OH! OH! OH! I almost forgot to say!…….Hi. :]
Time for the “Drew’s life” cram session.
Oct 8th
Okay, so…It’s been awhile, and there is too much to really cover…so I’ll break this down as much as I can…
First off lets hit the “Relationship” category…so, me and Hattie went downhill fast…she did things already in the past that I had forgave her for, stuff that I didn’t deserve to even happen to me honestly, but I still stayed with her and things we’re looking okay for awhile.
Then, Wham! Things for us starting declining, we started arguing more, especially in the area of her thinking and accusing me of being unfaithful (which will never happen in my book. If I don’t love you, I’ll leave you. Not cheat on you.) when in reality she was again, and I didn’t know.
Anyway, A few weeks before the Assembly of God camp thing I was going to with a AoG church in Denton I go to Sunday nights(when I can) and Wednesdays named Grace Fellowship, She broke up with me.
But she still tried to lead me along and leave me to believe she still loved me, despite the fact she was already all over other men.
And then Saturday day before camp I went with my brother Brandon to meet up with his ex-wife Angelique to drop off his daughter Hailey for the week, and I started talking to him about everything going on…everything…and everything I told him she was doing and saying, he remembered that’s just how his ex-wife would do and/or say.
And it was an eye-opener…I wasn’t sure if I should try to wait and see if she would change or get better, because I tend to be too nice and do that.
Then we got to the meeting point and I got out and talked to Angelique a little…and I realized something. He was right, Hattie was my version of a Angelique in my life. But I had an opportunity to end it before we we’re married and I end up married, then divorced to her, and save some pain. My brother unfortunately did not have a chance to do that.
Anyway, that Monday when we were leaving for camp. When I saw her, I let her go completely…and she didn’t let go of me, and that night I met two new friends: Nathan, and Madison.
And instantly I felt a connection with Madison I’d never felt before. I didn’t know what it was, but I didnt want it to leave.
Anyway, over that week, Hattie continued to argue and try to tell me she loved me.
And the more time I spent with Madison, the more I found how much of a fool I was to have ever considered my past relationships “Love”. Because with her, within that week I felt the same, and above the level of compassion and feelings towards her then I did with my exes. So by a few days in we decided to start dating, and this made Hattie furious that she just lost this game of leading me on even though she wasn’t ready to be committed to just me, or really love me.
But, and hopefully this doesn’t sound too cold…but I could care less about Hattie at that point.
All I cared about was listening to Madison talk, and learn more about her, and just take in her beauty inside, and out.
And even though it was an unorthodox way to meet your love, it happened regardless. :] Love you baby *kiss*
psst. this is her :]

Alright! well that’s basically out of the way…basically hah.
Next up is “Life”!
haha. So yeah, now I’m a senior in high school (woot), I’m madly in love, I’m getting better at drums practically every month I almost feel like (I’m seriously not trying to be cocky, but yeah.), and OH. I have my driver’s license now! WOO! But, I have no car.
Oh, and later this next week dad is going to help me put in applications at a few places so I can gets a job!
So, as you can see. the biggest chunk of catching up was my whole “Relationship” story hah. there is other stuff I’m prob not thinking of…but I don’t remember at this time…if I do, I’ll just edit this or make a new entry :]
And…I did it again…
Mar 10th
Sorry all, I really have had a hectic time…well so where to begin.
ah, well got all my PC junk in…and everything works like charm
I’ve played Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, Half life 2: Episode 2, Portal, and many more on high-res and high detail without any skipping or quality loss
woo!
hmm, oh…and Hattie my girlfriend had to have foot surgery this last Thursday…it went well but shes in alot of pain off and on between the pain meds lol…
oh, and yeah! now I’m the main drummer on Wednesday nights at First Assembly of God in Denton...unfortunately their pastor resigned 2 Sundays ago and his son happened to be their drummer…so yeah, I cant on Sunday cause I have to at my church…but now I do every Wednesday for them
so that’s fun and interesting for me…completely different feel then my main church’s worship team and songs…so it makes me stretch my boundaries I guess…
hmm, and DEAR LORD JESUS I watched the Watchmen(lol) or WIKI…and dude I loved it! there is only one main difference from the original comic that I noticed plot wise anyway, was Rorschach’s story of when he “became Rorschach completely, and no longer Walter Kovacs being Rorschach” was alot more gruesome…
and beware…you get to see Dr. Manhattan‘s blue shiny thingy(aka his freakin Penis) way too much, and you also get to see a awkwardly long sex scene in the Watchmen’s aircraft with the song “Hallelujah” written by Leonard Cohen (you’ll remember it was on Shrek by John Cale
)..but despite those things I’d give it a solid 85 out of 100 for sure…definitely worth watching once…maybe not for buying on DVD (least if you have kiddos who can find it haha)
well hmm, that’s about it for anything out of the ordinary since I’ve last blogged sadly
Church, Computers, Push, and Algebra 2…
Feb 16th
oops, I forgot to blog the last few days didn’t I?
haha…
Well…hmm Sunday morning was church…that was good and I like always had fun playing the Drums
Then after that I went over to my oldest brother Brandon’s house to work on building his new computer…and that was a nightmare…ehh…his motherboard was old and was a freakin’ IDE board…when most now are SATA or even now E-SATA apparently…and we didn’t know that till we opened it up…we were going to move it to a new case, 2gb of RAM, add a DVD burner, and a 320gb HDD…yeah, none of them worked…case was too small (that freakin motherboard was way bigger then it should be), and the HDD and DVD burner was SATA
even the RAM which we made sure online would work fine with it…didn’t work
…want to know why in 4 letters?….DELL…This just adds to the list why I hate computers from major companies…especially Dell…they make it so proprietary you cant upgrade crap…its stupid…they want you to have to buy a new one from them, not just keep a older one updated I guess
then yeah, went home around 5:40pm and left shortly after for church…Me and by other bro Josh went to my girlfriend Hattie’s church…first time for josh…3rd for me…on Sunday night anywho…and that was good…and Josh seemed to like it there…and I got to see the love of my life
*muah*
then after church Me and Josh went and watched Push with his friends from another church (its kinda funny Hattie goes to First Assembly of God in Denton…Josh’s friends go to First Assembly of God in Krum haha)…
anyway, that was a awesome movie despite hearing it was lame…to the people who called it lame….you…my friends…are lame hah. It was awesome, Ill say it did have a few cheesy parts…but the fights and just story made up for those parts by far…definitely worth watching again and buying on DVD when its out I’d say for sure
eh, then after we got out of that (it was around 12:10am) we went home and crashed…
haha, oh, and yeah…I have Algebra class every Monday morning, but yeah, dad decided he apparently didn’t wanna go…so yeah…I missed class cause of his not wanting to
and after that stupidity I’ve been up to a whole lot of nothing except texting my friends
oh, and Me and Josh might go bowling later (woo)…
so yeah, that concludes this weekend and weekday I guess…hah…
Bowling, Hattie, and Traveling…
Feb 14th
So, today wasn’t quite so bland…least for me hah.
First I went to bowling this morning as I do every Friday morning (I’m in a league…geeky no?), and I GOT TO SEE MY HATTIE
I haven’t seen her in a week…last time I seen her was last Friday morning
So that made my day right there…so I bowled..and did horrible hah…i have a 120 avg and i bowled 84,92, and 89 = Bad…ehh…
Anywho, after that was over I kissed my love goodbye until Saturday Night when I go to her house for Valentines Day
(woo!)…and headed home.
Then I was bored and did absolutely nothing till’ 6pm when mom and dad were going to leave me home alone and head to Ada, OK for the day to see my sis…but I knew I would just get bored outta my mind…so I decided to go ahead and tagged along…
Had decent fun, we went to a awesome Chinese restaurant there called Oscar, then headed to this gourmet chocolate place (it starts with a B…all I remember) then headed to her church where I was bored outta my mind for about 3hrs…then we headed home…where I slept in the car till 8:40l 8:40
English: World English Bible - WEB
40 It happened, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
WP-Bible pluginpm had came and I called Hattie to talk to her for 20 mins she was allowed
then we got home about 9:12pm and I jumped on the pc and watched the newest episode of The Office I missed on hulu.com (nbc.com doesn’t seem to wanna load for me so I watch The Office and Fringe on hulu)
then yeah since then I have been surfin’ hulu watching random clips then I watched Revenge of the Pink Pather (Wiki) on hulu (best movie btw)…they have the whole freaking movie on there
and now I’m blogging…not such a exciting day…but better then some this boring week…hah…I wanna be watching Friday the 13th though…I’m a horror junkie…especially since its made after the amazing 80′s flicks
Cleaning Cubicles Sucks…
Feb 13th
So, today was quite boring…I woke up read my daily letter from Hattie (none-ya) and did school and texted people like Alyssa, Josh, and Joseph…and that was it
until about 6pm anyway…
Then, the fun really began *cough* sarcasm *cough*…I had to leave about 6:30PM to help mom and dad clean offices
apparently over this week they have picked up a side-job of cleaning a whole office alone 2 days a week….and apparently its too much for just them so i got recruited….yeah fun right?
and wow….wasn’t too bad till we hit the cubicles…I felt like I walked into a strip of the comic Dilbert…seriously…wow…then about 8 we finished up and left.
after we got home at 8:30′ish I called Hattie since she is no longer grounded from the phone (yay!)
and talked to her till she had to get off at 9PM
but I’m still happy I got to talk to her
*muah* love you baby…
then I continued to text everyone till it was down to just alyssa (yay having sleepless friends to join in my sleeplessness
) and I got on my Photoshop and made Hattie’s Valentines Card…came out nice i think. you?
of coarse it’s pretty simple….but i was trying to be minimal considering my printer is low on color and b&w ink haha. and for those that dont know…you always stick the front on the right and the back on the left….otherwise your card will open backwards lol. I learned this many-a-year ago…
and yeah, pretty much after that Ive been doing nothing…so Ill quit blogging my bland life hah.
