So, I haven’t blogged in awhile… :O

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 of Jessie :D
Then we headed to the church to practice…Josh, Jessie, Amber, (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 :D
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 :D :D :D
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 …I had a Concertgasm :D 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 …got around 2am because of the crazy traffic…and headed to bed.

Monday: didn’t wake up till around 1pm …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 , uploaded 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 :D
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 , 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! :D ), and then started this.

So that has been my weekend /week. :]

Sorry all, I really have had a hectic time…well so where to begin.

ah, well got all my 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 ;D 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 :D 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 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 ’s story of when he “became completely, and no longer being ” 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 ’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 (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 :/

oh, and last night was fun, after church josh came in to pick me up and me and some othe guys there got into a intense game of 4square…with only the 4 of us constantly playing haha…then it somehow turned into game like hacky-sac….with the ball (its like one you’d use for dodge ball)…haha…and by the end we were all huffing, puffing, and sweating lol…can you say ” out of shape and un-sportsman like ”?

then yeah, we went to with the whole group from church that night pretty much…and it was a blast and we talked about everything and anything till about 11pm when some of the kiddos had to get …then Me, Josh, and our friend and bassist Garett went to ….just for it to be closed at 11pm haha…12am on friday and saturday only josh…you forget…so yeah then we headed to …and I bought a 50 pack of ’s…woo…and hung out and did some pretty random stuff till about 12:20am’ish…then Garett needed to get back home…so we dropped him off to his car (he rode with us to subway and on) and headed home…

see isnt that sad…I just explained only a same amount of time 9pm-1am…and it took longe then explaining my day today :|

So, I just bought a new Motherboard, Graphics , and …and I feel like a geek because I’m all giddy about getting it in the mail lol…

heres a roundup what I got :D

click to see where and what exactly I bought….and to the some saying “thats a crappy PSU” or “eh, even the 9600 is alot better”….heres what your forgetting….not everyone has tons of money to blow on PC eq …this was a very buget based purchase…

  • so yeah first off the motherboard, I got it because it’s a AMD (woo) compatible with Athlon 64 X2(dual core) Processors….also it has 6 SATA connections….cause yeah…i need at least 3…4 or more preferred…and it was pretty freakin cheap for a decent spec’s on a mobo….
  • Next the Graphics Card….I know…I know…some say for $10-30 more I could have got the ATI HD3650 (512 not 1gb but still)…but…I didn’t need to spend $10-30 more…that and I just trust Nvidia over ATI anyday…and I know that’s odd considering a prefer over Intel..since AMD makes lol…but I do…get over it! :P and It’ll work fine for what I need it…Photoshop, Flash, and Casual Gaming…might be able to run freakin Crysis but I don’t want to anyway lol…
  • last is the Power Supply….yes I know it looks sucky and not super high wattage…but…I needed one with 3 or more SATA’s once again…cause yeah is gay and made everything the Harddrive and Dvd Drive need a SATA power connector instead of a standard MOLEX one…yeah…I know…freaking gay right? anyway…yeah this one has 4…so I can even add a 3rd Hard Drive Later on if needed :) so woo…

and yeah…I found and purchased all of this spur of the moment at like 2am :D lol total price after shipping for all was $212.86 (before $40 in rebates) after I send the rebate stuff it’ll be $172.86 total for all :)

anyway, Ill prob blog again tonight….cause yeah my has had nothing fun or interesting today lol…but I had to say the above cause I’m :D

oops, I forgot to the last few days didn’t I? :O …

Well…hmm Sunday morning was church…that was good and I like always had fun playing the :)

Then after that I went over to my oldest brother ’s house to work on building his new computer…and that was a nightmare…ehh…his was old and was a freakin’ IDE board…when most now are or even now 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 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 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 around 5:40pm and left shortly after for church…Me and by other bro went to my girlfriend Hattie’s church…first time for …3rd for me…on Sunday night anywho…and that was good…and seemed to like it there…and I got to see the of my :) *muah*

then after church Me and Josh went and watched Push with his friends from another church (its kinda funny Hattie goes to First of God in Denton…Josh’s friends go to First of God in Krum haha)…

anyway, that was a awesome 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 :D

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, 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 my friends :) oh, and Me and Josh might go later (woo)…

so yeah, that concludes this weekend and weekday I guess…hah…
