3Yes, I know I’m behind in this…I’m sorry…forgive me? kthx <3 u 
<– uber geek for that sentence I know…
Anyway, it has almost been a week I’m sorry 
Well must hasn’t happened this week at all…
Haha…oh, except the fact Madison has me on a new schedule, which is something like…
12am bed-time + 7am wake-up time + homework (which she organized for me what to do daily) done daily by 4:30PM + keeping at trying to find a job – fun – a say in any of it = the plan I’m now on
Haha I’m kidding baby :] I need it…I really do, I procrastinate sooo bad…and this is my Senior year, so I need someone like her to kick my butt in gear, and keep it there. So thanks baby :] *kiss*
Speaking of me Madison-o! I GET TO SEE HER FRIDAY! EEEEEK!K!!K!K!K!KEEK!E!E!!!!! :]
I’m happy. Very. Very. Happy. :]
And well that’s kinda been my week…lots of homework, trying to get into the habit of waking up earlier. and yes, I know its later then 12am right now…but that’s because I’m behind in blogging and I couldn’t sleep because I’m thinking of alot of crap I need to get done by late December :\ @the few that know why….eeek! :]
Oh, well I guess here is all the random pictures I taken or edited in the last week :]
U2 WAS AMAZING! :] Oh, And The Rest of My Week.
3So, 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. :]
Essay, Photoshop, and Missing Church.
3Hi there my readers! yes, I’m speaking to all 2 of you. hah.
My day was okay today, kinda bland again. I woke up at around 11:30pm from about 10 messages from Madison on IM that I had missed from 8am-11:20am IM SORRY BABY! :[ This keeps happening here lately and I'm sorry my love *kiss*
Anywho, got up, ate some grub, and then got on the computer. Where I did pretty much nothing of use, till Stephanie texting me, asking if I knew where to learn how to use Photoshop...So after a little while when I was on the pc, I sent her a list of sites for Tutorials, Inspiration, Brushes, and Fonts to help her out :] So that made me feel a little better that my time was actually helping someone maybe…
THEN…*cue theme music* DA DA DA!!!!! *drum roll*……….getting excited yet?…..*drum roll*……..*drum crash* MADISON CALLED! haha.
And I talked to her for a good bit o’ time, but she was tired and took a nap while keeping me on the line. So I got on Photoshop and Illustrator
Here’s what I made
Then, once Madison woke up, we talked some more, and she realized it was 6:50pm and I wasnt at church, and I told her about how my parents were still gone wherever, and so I didnt have a ride there, which also made me miss Cayli’s birthday party meh….anyway, then supper was done, and I let her go, ate, and then called her back.
But she had to do something, I forget what? And made me do my homework haha. So I finished up my Human A&P homework, and was in the middle of revising my “If” paper for English class when she called. And she helped me correct it and gave me alot of useful tips and ideas on what to do on the parts I was lost in.
So thanks so so much baby :] You’re a lifesaver *kiss* I lovea you! lol.
And then after I finished up that it was getting late, so I let my love go to bed, and I got up on the pc and starting typing this…man I was really detailed today eh?
Oh well!
Church…Oh, and Tacos!
0So, today was pretty blan up till 5pm when I played drums at church…we had practice from 5-630′ish….and it went decently well…I screwed up 2 of the songs majorly over and over haha…but it overall had a decent sound I’d say…not as professional as I like…but hopefully Ill learn these songs a bit better as time passes….hopefully hah.
then around 7pm we started…first song went good, second went well despite my messing up the beginning and forgetting to stop once pretty much…then the third song…well eh…it just sounded weird on my part hah…but song 4….ah, I love it no matter how its played…you know it as “Everything” by Lifehouse…I kinda came in odd but it blended ok…and hah…in the middle of the chorus the second time my stick broke so yeah, that was fun…
but I loved after that me and Corey (acoustic guitar player) started playing just us after “Everything” ended and we ended up making a new song pretty much…I love flowing…I get so drawn into it…I sounds odd I know, but I almost feel as if I’m becoming one with music when I am…like me and music is making love per-say hahaha…I really don’t know how to explain it…besides I just really get into the music then…
then after that Chris (the youth pastor) gave his message while we all sat around him, and as always it was clear and informative (if you want to know what he talked about you’ll just have to come and see for yourself! hah)…and afterwards we all went to the awesome artery clogging Taco Bell…and chilled there…then I went home and started blogging…
so yeah I cant tell you anymore after that without starting a endless loop…ad that would be good…It’d make the world explode or something…no…I’m serious…it would…

2So, today started off for me at 12pm hah. And it started off with me waking up to eat a burger and fries from the king of grease, yes, McDonald’s…So I did that, and then did my school (well most ) then I was about to get on and work on a site (and possibly my first wordpress theme ) when dad said come outside.
So I did, and yeah, he made me drive around the block and pull into a driveway and back, then back the other side of the street and back to our house, fun fun…I did ok he said, but I know i kept hitting the accelerator too much lol. I’m workin’ on it! haha (in case you don’t know, I currently only have a permit so I’m in the process of learning how to drive before i get my real license in April (woo woo).
Then yeah, we went to the library while he got the cars oil changed across the street. and I found a book of facts, and a CSS + XHTML book i got, oh, and they had the very first Pink Panther movie…one of the old good ones I talked about…
Then we headed home after the car was finished and headed to Wal-Mart to get groceries….exciting day so far no? and yeah got all that stuff and I got part of Hattie’s Valentines gift I’m making her a card I’m gonna print (one of the benefits of being a Graphics Designer lol)
And then we headed by Circuit City since their going outta business i wanted to check their prices on some stuff…and yeah, even with the discounts its still high hah…so i left there and we went to the Dollar Tree where mom found a few things, and I had a strange urge to buy silly string? So I did…Blue at that
Then yeah, headed home unloaded groceries then headed back to Denton to go to church, where i had fin with friends despite Hattie not getting to come 
i did get to talk to her for about 10min though, but that was to tell me she wasn’t coming but, that makes it a week without seeing her for sure now I miss you so much baby! *muah*.
But I still had some fun with friends, heard some good music and a awesome message from Chris like always *wink* 
Oh, and on the way home dad randomly pulled over and said “get out” and i was confused…yeah, he made me drive from there to home haha.
And that concludes my day, well besides texting Aaryn, Callie, Banana, and Lyssa…they keep me alive and going texting me
