old man living

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 12:43:24 GMT

so i'm officially an old man. i woke up today (saturday) at 6:40 AM, ate a bowl of grape nuts, skim milk, and banana slices, and went to work for four hours. i'm just maturing a little too fast i think. maybe i'll buy a ferrari...

karen's going crazy about her passport, and it is pretty frustrating. she won't get it in time, but we still might be able to go to mexico since they've changed the rules for this year. if you've applied for a passport and can prove it, you can go to mexico, caribbean, canada, etc. so hopefully that'll come through.

last night karen's mom made us dinner. i had a good time. she's got a nice little sitting area, and the weather was perfect with all the windows open.

summer's been going pretty well so far, with the exception of work. work's been ok, a little dull, but i get $$$$$$$, so no biggie. i've been hanging out with karen and friends, buying furniture, doing some last minute wedding stuff, not watching much tv, playing racquetball whenever i can, and played a couple good shows with damezumari. practice sunday, show 6/22 at under the mooch. goodbye everyone.

non-transition to adult life

i have many landmark dates coming up very soon.

may 5 - graduation
may 11 - start first salary job at legit engineering company
july 7 - get married
july 9 - go to mexico for first time/leave country for second time

it's very strange to have all these "adult" things happen in such a short time. yet i feel that it is mostly natural and don't have many misgivings about any of it really. if anything they're things to look forward to, since if i don't have a job then i feel very worthless, and if i didn't have karen i'd probably feel pretty inadequate about myself. i don't know. these are good things, these are things i need and want to do. i am actually pretty nervous about the job.

but anyways. i might also be getting a decent drum kit for the first time ever. i think i deserve it.

my driver side door is broken and will cost over $500 to fix. luckily i can afford it.

i got a nintendo DS for graduation from karen. that sounds like a weird gift, but i've been wanting one for a while. thank you very much karen.

two shows coming:
may 17 - king of clubs w/ THE PROGRAMME, SCALES OF MOTION, others (BLACK GOLD BAND? that would rule)
may 25 - conservatory w/ STEEPLES, SOMEPLACE TO HIDE, DAMEZUMARI

also, if you read this and want to come to my graduation, it starts at 10 AM at the reynolds center on saturday.

goodnight.

greetings xanga. oh dear xanga. my sweet sweet xanga. xanga xanga xaagna xanasga xaggsna xgganxaga

so i'm pretty hyped/stoked out right now. i finally got a job offer with a company that might even be interesting to work at. and i know it will pay pretty well and i'll have a secure future because it's in the aerospace industry.

one thing i've been struggling with, though, is tithing. i'm going to be making more money than i've ever made in my life in one year working at my new job, and i know that 10% is the normal tithe. the thing i struggle with is being a "cheerful giver". i know i'm capable of giving out my money to others who need it, but why can't i be happy about it? maybe if i start doing it i'll feel better about it, but right now i'm in selfish mode and it sucks. i also don't know where i would want to give the money, since i don't want to keep going to CUMC when i get married. so i dunno.

sorry for posting something slightly deep, xanga. hey, xanga, sorry about that.

i hope everyone is doing ok at least, and great at most.

i worry about so much dumb stuff, it's ridiculous. i worry about some important stuff, too, but mostly about dumb stuff. dumb.

i guess things are pretty alright. i don't have any shows coming up or anything.

last weekend k and i went to stillwater, and i didn't want to leave, or i wanted ryan and sara to move to tulsa. either one would work. we had a great time. EDIT: FAZOLIIII'S!!!!! :END EDIT

i'll probably work on my senior project three nights this week. it's dominating me. tonight is testing, tomorrow is trying to think of designs/more testing, thursday is making a big presentation for the bosses. then friday night, the bosses are taking us out to dinner, and we have to give our presentation to them. luckily, i think they know as little as we do, so that's good. low expectations FTW.

karen and i made a special card for hannah. hannah, if you're reading this, we haven't mailed it yet, but it looks like it was made by kindergartners. but we like it anyway. hope you do too.

new year. no resolutions, really. i wanna get a job, play some shows in texas, get married, work out, have friends, see my new niece a bit, same stuff. maybe buy a new drum kit...?

i passed the fundamentals of engineering exam. pretty crazy. but i'm really quite glad.

school starts back up next monday. i only have 12 hours. i also have a project to work on this semester. i think it won't be too terrible.

damezumari has a back to school show next monday night at the sound pony with by the end of tonight and el paso hot button. it starts at 10 pm and is free to those of you who are over 21 years of age. under, i don't know. we'll see. it would be cool of you to come. hopefully we'll play some new songs.

over or out.

1. go here and listen to a new damezumari song. it's good, trust me.

2. come to a show this friday night at the pinkeye featuring scales of motion and our friends the black gold band and the luciano outfit. it costs $8 and will be worth it, because cmon, it's john moreland. and we're playing new songs.

3. i got a freakin 3.8 this semester. i haven't done that well since like freshman year. W00T!

4. merry christmas.

you may push to find where boundaries truly lie, but what of love?

how do we decide which laws are good and which we're above?

how much difference will our challenging make in the end?

when redemption comes, will we be judged by faith, or by the arguments we win?

who wants to go to mastodon and converge on february 3rd in st. louis? it's the closest that tour is coming, but right now i really want to go. things might come up later that make me not want to, but geez. i gotta see that ish. it's a saturday night. PLEASE.

scales has a show on friday at the king of clubs in claremore. i don't know where that is. sorry.

final projects will murder me. they're actually not too bad. but i'll have to work a lot on them on friday afternoon and saturday. carp.

bai.

well.

things are alright. i feel like i'm on crazy pills sometimes, because i swing from super high to super low and everywhere in between. i haven't hit a super low in a couple weeks i think, and i think i've been averaging out to a pretty good for the most part. what am i talking about anyways?

scales of motion has a show this tuesday at the other side at 68th and lewis. i think we're headlining or something stupid like that. but we're playing new music. i'm excited about it. hopefully i can get all my homework done in time to swing by chili's for enrique's bday party. that would be nice to do. i'd like to see that dude again.

i know this is like super corny, but if you're my friend, i look up to you. you set an example for me that i would love to follow after. and i try to. sometimes i fail. i fail mostly with karen. i get lazy and i feel like i don't want to do the things that she does for me. that's really stupid. i should be proud to be able to do things for people. i want to have a servant's attitude. all i can do is pray for it and try to make my life that way.

karen and i are still looking for a church. we might go to a new one that was recommended by our friends in a couple weeks. i want to find a place where i can feel at home.

looking forward to thanksgiving. sorry for the length of this entry. love.

welp, it's 6:40 am on saturday. i'm taking an 8 hr long exam called the fundamentals of engineering exam. i can't stop shivering because i didn't get enough sleep, i'm cold, and i'm nervous. but i'll probably do fine.

things are better for me since last post. so don't even worry about it.

i might update for real later. CRAPPY HALLO-SPLEEN!
