Hey Folks






So it occured to me that you in the xanga community might want to know about my media intake.  You probably don't, but I don't care, you came to my site to see what I have to say, and this is it.  I have a music budget of $20 for each week which I use to buy cds or books about music or whatever.  Last week I bought The Police Anthology, and it is great.  I have heard Roxanne about 33 times in the last two days.  This week, I bought two cds by Ryan Adams: Love is Hell, and Easy Tiger.  Pastor Shea turned me on to him.  Next week I will buy a ticket to go see my favorite band, mewithoutYou at the Uptown theater with Thrice and Brand New.  It will be killer.

That's about it.  We didn't have marching band today because it rained, so that was excellent.  Right now the biggest worry on my mind is that I double-booked tomorrow night.  I am scheduled to work from 6pm to 10pm, but I also am supposed to play with a jazz group at Cafe Acoustic.  I guess we'll just see what happens.

Hey Folks







    Well.  Thanks to Taylor, I got to thinking about xanga today.  And here I am.  I remembered that xanga was my first internet addiction, that the first comments I ever got were in response to a xanga post, and I waxed nostalgic.

    Anyway.  I am at work at the Porch, and there is this guy here.  His name is Guy, actually.  Not making this up.  But he just walked back behind the counter and asked me where the silent alarm buttons were.  So I showed him, and he fiddled around with them for like twenty seconds and said they were fixed.  Now he is walking around the lobby and looking at all the doors.  He has been doing that for the last half hour or so.  I wonder if he is casing Solomon's Porch.

    Reading that paragraph, it seems that I am expecting the worst from Guy.  I think I have grown much more cynical about people since I started working here.  There are only about ten people who are actually polite when they come to the counter.  I am always happy to see them.  Most of the people who come in are really rude.  Most of them come to church here regularly.  I just feel bad because they can't even live out their faith while they are still in the building.

    This is why I feel that practical application of your personal faith is something to be admired.  Beau Walker came in today, and sat down and talked for a while with some old lady he didn't know.  Just that kind of stuff.  St. Joe Serve is coming up, and I am going to do that.  I don't know exactly what I am getting at here, except for the fact that when you come up to the counter and are rude to me ten minutes after your precious church service, you are a piss-poor example of Christ.  Maybe what it comes down to is that I get really upset with people who are rude to me.  It isn't hard to be nice, even if it isn't sincere.

    Anyway, it wasn't my intention to sit down and rant about Solomon's Porch patrons, but maybe that is what I needed.  Maybe a few more xanga posts are in order.  Let's just see what happens.

...Is a Real Boy
By Say Anything

 Hey Folks

 

 

So.  Salinger spent some time in the studio today, working on our first project.  Josh helped us out with getting started, and it turns out I need more RAM in order to have my computer work right.

 

I go to college.  I went to public school.  I hear cussing all the time, and I don't complain about it, because I live in real life, and that is how real people talk.  It doesn't seem like that much of a stretch that I thing cuss words sometimes.  The thing is, I don't normally do anything about it.  Today I cussed.

I said "Bitchin'," because David was playing guitar and it was reallly awesome, enough so to spell reallly with three l's.  He played some new stuff, and some old stuff.  He played the Pre-Calc song, and I thought it would sound awesome with clapping, and so I tried it, and it did.  He said he had already recorded it, and I said, "Too bad, 'cause that would sound bitchin' with that clapping in there."  And it would.  And he knew it.

 

Anyway, they all laughed. 

Does it count as a sin if everybody laughs?  Does it count as a sin anyway?  Do I care either way?

 

Oh well.  In a perhaps related topic, I have been hooked on The Office thanks to Caleb.  He gave me the first two seasons of the show, and I can't stop watching it.  I have not been an active tv show watcher since the first season of Survivor, which might have been like eight years ago.  I just love it to pieces.  I have fallen in love with Jim, and I am always rooting for him and Pam.  (You see, there is this subplot where he is really close friends with the receptionist, Pam, who has been engaged to this jerk Roy for like three years because he won't agree to a date for their wedding.  Jim is not - entirley - secretly in love with Pam, and she is not-so-secretly unhappy with Roy.  There is all kinds of dramatic tension.)  Also, it is just plain funny.

The funniest part is that I am reading three books at the same time.  I don't think I can handle it.

 

I guess the last thing is that I saw this web ad for that True dating service on Myspace.  I got pretty upset because it said  "True love is just a click away."  I have never read such royal Bull Shit in my whole life.

See you later.

 Hey Folks.

 

Oh xanga.

Copeland signed with Colombia.  I don't know how I feel about this.

Taylor and I broke up.

John Mayer had Roy Hargrove play trumpet on his latest album.

I am thinking about switching my entire college career.

People hate Christianity because they are given poor examples.

I love my job.

Salinger was in the paper.

 

That is pretty much it, you are all caught up.

Hey Folks

 

Here is something to remember:  Do not listen to Coldplay whilst reminiscing about past experiences.  It will only make you more nostalgic and delusional about high school memories.  Although, come to think of it, life was at least a little simpler in high school.  I have much more to do now than I did.  Now I have eight and one half hour school days, with no breaks between.  So that sucks. 

Liz hired some new people at work, so that will be fun.  They start this week.  Also, I think I will go to the Ben Folds concert in November.  I was apprehensive about it because it is during the weekend when The Huge Speakers will be at our church, but it is not during someone I want to see. 

 

In closing:

mewithoutYou - Brother, Sister

In stores Sept. 26th, in my possession on the same day.  No doubt.
