Ehh, Ahh, and Ooh.
1So, today was kinda meh…
I woke up like always to the voice of my beautiful Madison on the phone, then I fell back to sleep 
After that I didn’t wake up till 1pm. Yeah, I know….you foresaw it with how late my last blog was eh?
Well then after I woke up I got to talk to my love a little on IM while she was at school (Yes, when she’s not busy, not when she’s supposed to be doing school 
) then when she had to go I did nothing till she was out of school…well..something happened…but I rather not discuss it here online…or even in any other way….
But anyway, took a shower around 4pm, and soon as I was out…MY MADISON CALLED! :] — Yes I’m aware I get like a giddy 5yr old boy who just got a lollipop given to him when it’s about Madison…and no, I don’t regret it at all :] She makes me so happy and bubbly :]
Anyway, talked to her up until round 5:30pm when she had to leave to go to the Haunted House her school is throwing this week…and I left at 6pm for church anyways…we went up there to fill bags of candy for kids, to hand out this week….but we also got cheese bread and a pizza! WHOO!!! :]
Then at around 8:45pm my love called me while she was on a break with a friend at sonic getting a snack, and had to go soon after 
So, when I got home at around 9pm I got on the PC…WOO!!! Haha…And I played Fallout 3 some more (I didn’t even realize that 3 more expansions came out…so I dug out my game and reinstalled it 
), and then decided to get Borderlands…so I did…and OOOH…I like so far….I didn’t get to play long…I got my character to level 2 and that’s it…because Madison called and told me to do homework 
haha.
Then we talked for a bit till she needed to head to bed, So I finished up my homework, then headed back on here to check my email and stuffs one last time, and ended up downloading some windows 7 updates, avg updates, and going a quick disk defrag with the awesome Auslogics Disk Defrag :]
Finally, after all of that I got on here to blog….and that’s been my day!
Oh, and I’m part of a new site now called Dailybooth and I forgot to even say, or add it…so I’ll add it to my links list to the right. :]
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. :]
A Mediocre Friday
1Well, today was okay…Woke up at about 9am, got ready, and left for my Homeschool bowling league :] It was fun as always.
But ugh…my scores today was pretty horrid…mostly anyway. Today I scored 74, 133, and 108 = UGH haha…I tend to keep an avg of about 120 or so…but I about never hit under a 100. My scores range from 100-160 or higher on random days
Anyway, that all went okay. Then we left and went home…and that’s all I’ve done since. Amazingly exciting day, no?
So I guess what I’ll do is give a personal view on something. Sounds like a blasty-blast, eh? What am I going to talk about? No idea…haha. I’m literally just writing as I go…So this outta be interesting…
Hmm, so in Human A&P class last Thursday while my teacher was talking I realized something…anyone who doesn’t believe in anything but Intelligent Design (aka. God created everything) is off their freakin rocker…seriously.
I mean think about it…We are made up out of 11 organ systems within the human body: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive. And each one of those can be broken down into more categories, and those categories can be broken down into more categories…etc. And this goes on for a long while, until to get down to atoms. And we’re not even sure that’s the end…that’s just all we can get to. And if anything was different or served a different purpose then it does, or was a different shape. It wouldn’t work right for our bodies and we wouldn’t be able to live.
And if that isn’t enough to make someone see how intricate and detailed we are made, then zoom out in the opposite direction.
We, as a human, look like a pebble from the air, and further out, our state looks like a small spec from space…if its even able to be located. And our planet Earth, looks like a pebble next to Jupiter. And Jupiter looks like a pebble next to our Sun…etc
Here are even pics to describe what I mean
I mean seriously. How the hell could all of this be an accident or just happen from a series of random events?
Only a fool who doesn’t want to think their is a being who is above him and he should serve would want to deny Intelligent Design, or better yet, God. That’s who…
So why is it that in our school system what is being taught to them from a young age is The THEORY of Evolution…which when traced back was from people who didn’t want to accept there was a God, either because they didn’t want their to be a Master whom they should serve or submit authority to, or because they didn’t want to put belief in anything that they couldn’t see, or understand.
Why did I get off on to what I did? No idea. But I said it.
So take what you will from it.
So to those who don’t agree on that, don’t ridicule me, or say I’m wrong. Because on this subject I am right…you’ll just have to get over it, or leave.
To those still curious about exactly what I mean, leave me a email. or comment on here :]
Time for the “Drew’s life” cram session.
1Okay, 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 :]
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…
And…I did it again…
0Sorry 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
My Inner Geek Is Tingling…
1So, I just bought a new Motherboard, Graphics Card, and Power Supply…and I feel like a geek because I’m all giddy about getting it in the mail lol…

- 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 AMD over Intel..since AMD makes ATI lol…but I do…get over it! 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 dell 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…

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

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.
