The One With Your Starbucks Barista

Current Mood: Dancin'
Current Music: The Killers Hot Fuss

Hey, everybody! How was your week?? Mine was good, thanks for asking. That's why I love all my wonderful visitors. You're all so thoughtful and caring! ;-) I just got back from the movie theater and I have got to say, I LOVE the movie "Step Up!" It was so good. I mean, sure the story's been told a few dozen times already, but still...and who knew Channing Tatum could dance? Boy got MOVES!

I shouldn't have written that....

Moving on. I don't have much to write, but I wanted to share this moment of amusement curtesy of Starbucks...

The One With the Guy in the Stairwell

Today, I was sitting in one of the practice rooms at McCrary when I heard this lovely sound coming from outside. So I, being the curious creature that I am, stepped out into the hall to investigate. I managed to trace the noise to the stairwell where Jonathan Hager was having a grand ole time practicing on his violin. He is AMAZING! SOOOOOOOOOO...I thought you might enjoy hearing what it's like to live at the music school. Enjoy!

The One for Canadian Emily

Um, yeah, so...DALLAS BEAT VANCOUVER!

BWA HAHAHAHAHAHA!

;-)

The One With the Breathing

*gasp*weaze*cough*gasp*


Sorry, I forgot to breath after last night's terrifying e-mail extravaganza. What a MEAN Halloween trick! False alarm, by the way. Both professors wrote back and said that I was NOT failing the classes and apologized for how unnerving the e-mail was.

Sheesh. Lucky I wore my depends today.



What.




HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Depends. Am I allowed to say that on the internet? ;-) You know, I think we have a warped sense of exercise, don't you? I mean, experts say it's all about the heart rate, right? So, I figure, I am just going to go stand in front of my house and get one of my friends to drive at me really fast then stop right in front of me. That oughtta just about do it. All I need is a friend and a pair of depends and I am good to go.


Special thanks to Ellen Degeneres for that one.

Oh, gosh now I've written about adult incompetence and Ellen. You stopped reading, didn't you? You're not even paying attention anymore, are you? ARE YOU?! I could write whatever I want right now and you would have no idea. The bubbles can't fight without a ketchup bottle!!

You're calling my mom, aren't you?


Narc.

:-)

Okay, anyway, I am obviously in a better mood today than last night now that I know that the Baylor mafia is no longer staking out my house. In fact, today was EXCELLENT. And would you like to know why? Allow me to share...



What? Why, yes, there WAS cotton candy calling out to me from the music office kitchen today. And I have such a kind heart, I could not let it wither in distress. So I let it wither in my mouth....MMMmMmMMmmmMMMmm! Woot for cotton candy!

Alrighty, everyone have a splendiferous day!

The One With the Skippage

Is that a word? I think it should be. Actually, I think it should be a general grammar rule. Adding -age to the end of anything is okay.

Forkage: Eating in a massively gluttonous manner. i.e. Oprah Winfrey on an even year. :-) OH MY GOSH!!!! I didn't write that!!!

Snickersage: Eating Snickers in a massively gluttonous manner. As in, the wonderfully magnificent Alyssa "Booed" me today and I now have a plastic jackolantern filled with Snickers and hershey kisses! MMmMMmMmmmmmm...Have you met Alyssa yet? Let me show you a picture...



Cute, right??? That was us at the fair.

Sorry, anyway. That has nothing to do with the Skippage. I think I am stalling.

No, I'm not. Wait, yes, I definitely...no, Yeah, I am.

So, I got this nasty e-mail today from Baylor. Now, DON'T freak out...

Apparently I am failing two classes because of excessive absences. Now, don't get me started on Baylor's attendance policy....back on target. Thing is, I keep careful record of how often I miss classes, since I can only miss these two classes eleven times each. So, to say that I have passed that limit is LUDICROUS! Now, I, being the calm, easy-going, laid-back kind of guy that I am, I immediately acted accordingly...and freaked out. I sent e-mails to both professors essentially asking, "WHAT DA POO?!" Excuse my frase-ology. The only thing I can figure is that I have missed more than 25% of my classes thus far. Which is possible. But, to have missed enough to fail, I would have to have skipped the equivalent of an ENTIRE MONTH's worth of classes. Ridiculous. Anyway, I am waiting on a reply from my professors.

Worst case scenario, I fail the math class....which would be bad, since I have yet to fail anything at Baylor. The other class, karate, allows me to make up absences, so even if I have miscounted, it can be undone.

Worry, worry, worry. I HATE worrying! So, I need some more snickers...

I need the SNICKERS! Ahhhhhhhh, MUCH better!

If you wouldn't mind adding me to your prayer list for the next couple of days, I would appreciate it!

And on that note, GOOD NIGHT, ALL!!! Check out the new Top 10 list!!

The One With the Gluttony

Current Mood: Deliriously STUFFED
Current Music: BBMak Into Your Head

UUuuuuuuuuuugggggg...Gorged. Gorged? Gourged? I don't even care that that is wrong, that's how completely, 100% stuffer I am. Remember that great scene in Willy Wonka (The old, good one. Not the new "oops, our bad" one.)? The one where Violet Bouregard turns into a blueberry on steroids and gets rolled out of the factory (actually, in the book, she is taken to the juicer room and later walks out of the factory delightfully thin again, but a little blue in the face. Get it? BLUE? Hahahahahahaha)? That is who I am right now. Seriously. Except, I am not a blueberry, I am a giant chunk of chocolate. Or corn dogs.

Seeeee....let me start at the beginning. Well, not the very beginning, because it's boring and involves me being in a bad mood. Actually, this has been a pretty bad week so far. Until today after 12:00pm, that is. Wait. What was I talking about?


?


?


kitchen. Right, anyway, today was the day the entire church staff was supposed to go to the fair. Unfortunately, if you live anywhere in Texas, today was NOT a good day to go to the fair. It rained SO HARD this morning, I finally put plastic wrap across my tailgate and and renting my truck out as a mobile jacuzzi.

Yeah, fine, maybe that'a lie.

Anyway, the fair was empty today. The church was full. However, since I LOVE the rain, and I LOVE the fair and at the moment I still do NOT love Grady, I bugged Sherri until she agreed to go with me for a little while. WEEEEEEELLLLLLL.....I think that Sherri and I should have a television show. We are THAT funny! You know how I am, right? Sherri is more psychotic than I am. What? Put the gun down, Sherri, it's a compliment. We had a BLAST! I ATE SO MUCH FOOD! Here is the progression. Corn Dog--->Cinnamon Roll--->Nachos--->Corn Dog--->Caramel Apple...I was stuffed. And I gained 27 pounds in two hours. I am not kidding. I had to borrow this clown's pants. It's okay though, clowns sell their clothing for really cheep. Hee hee hee. So, Sherri and I took so pictures and had ourselves a little mid-week fun.


THEN! On the way back home, I decided it was about time for me and Jenn to have a Theme Night. Have you ever had a Theme Night? Sure you have. Jenn and I pick a movie and feast on food centered around that movie.

Tonight's selection?



So what did we eat? CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE, and MORE CHOCOLATE! It went something like this...Snickers--->Reese's--->Snicker's--->Best Brownies in the world. I didn't even get to the chocolate covered cherries, so sad!


Good golly, I am SO gonna run out of money this month.

Anyway, needless to say, I no longer function. I am a walking hunk of junk food.

And I am okay with that!!! ;-)

Good night!

The One With the Fair

Currently Watching: Eureka

So, how's everyone doing? Really? That's great! Oh, I'm sorry. Did I cut you off? I'll give you time to answer.




There we go. I'm glad that you are doing well. Unless you said something else, in which case, I am sorry that your day is not the best. So.......

I'm BACK!

Are you excited? You should be! I know it's been forever since I last wrote you a nice little note, but I am just so dern busy! In fact, I am kinda on borrowed time at the moment as it is. I should be memorizing "An Die Muzik." But I'm NOOOOOOTTTTTT! :-)

Hee hee hee.

Tomorrow, my entire office (the entire church actually) is GOING TO THE FAIR! Woo hoo! SO, if you are bored, feel free to join us. Just give me a call and I will tell you where we can meet up. Yes, I'm serious. What? I like people. I'm almost certain I do.

Anyway, there is a lot that I could tell you about what's been going on, but it would make for a long and uninteresting post. And we can't have that, now can we? I would MUCH rather tell you about how I am a RUNNER UP IN THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL!!!!

Yeah, TOTALLY kidding. But then, you didn't believe that, did you? 'Cause you know me better than that! So, I am not going to catch you up with the past few months, but I will keep you posted with everything new from this point forward, you have my word!

See ya' next time!

P.S. So much fun! I am Jedi, baby!

P.P.S. Alrighty, where do I begin?

This first one is by a new band out of Waxahachie. Truett and I went to the Lighthouse to hear them last week and I was impressed! It's been a long while since I found a high school group that really had potential. And these guys have it! Rise and Shine! Tell me what you think!

And THIS ONE? Have you ever run across a song that makes you want to get up and DO something? That's what Wunderkind does for me. I can listen to it over and over and over and over and not get tired of it!

Same story with this little diddy from Impgen Heap. Over and over without end. I just love the imagery. Both of these songs are from the Chronicles of Narnia soundtrack, which you should definitely consider purchasing!

Um....hats off to Amber for this one, the COVER QUEEN of the Western world! Just kidding, AmBertha. But, she DID send me this song, and she has my undying gratitude for that. One of the best covers I've heard in a while. As always, have a listen and tell me what you think!
