Revalation 2

So the other day I was thinking about how no one comments on this blog and how unpopular I must be. Then some of the friends I DO have (pretty cool people, I must add) decided to bug me by naming me Naners and complaining that they couldn't comment on this blog.

(EUREKA, popularity that I never knew about!!)

Anyway, I was instructed to get a Xanga. So search for me (sirbradford117) on Xanga.com.

First meeting of the semester was last night. Unfortunately, my big brother told me that he wouldn't really have the time this semester to be there for me and to do his job (I dont blame him... the kid has taken on LOTS of responibilities in the School of Music). The whole situation saddened me just because of how much I have looked up to him since even before I came here, but, as I said, it's all good. I have now been paired with Dan and it looks like he is a good fit for me. )In fact, I mentioned to him yesterday before all that happened that he is just about the coolest person ever. He proceeded to blush.)

Afterwards I went to IHOP with 3 out of 4 of the OneVoice guys. I was really flattered to have been invited, and it was great spending time with my idols. Even though I didn't have much to say... the discussions about philosophy and Libertarianism were a bit over my head. It was all kind of a wake-up call about how much growing up and learning I still have to do. Bleh.





Earlier in this post, I mentioned that my big bro is the coolest person ever... however another friend of mine probably took offense to that. So here is my acknoledgement to another of the coolest people ever, Colleen... I now like naners because of her.

Revalation

A little frustration quelled last night when I realized that Valentine's Day is approaching and that it falls on an opportune day of the week...

Frustrations... which is what a blog is for

Someone, anyone, convince me somehow that I don't need/want a girlfriend right now.

I have very few classes on Thursdays this semester... the downside is it's hard to get a hold of anyone midday because of their classes. So, on this first Thursday, I spent lots of time in my room thinking about stuff. God knows how all my thoughts came together, but the afternoon ended in frustration. The girl I want to be with more than anyone seems so far away (not "seems..." rather, "IS"), plus other temptations are suddenly coming at me from all angles.

I will NOT let the past repeat itself. I have made too many mistakes before with disastrous results to others. All I'm telling myself now is it won't be worth it...

In the meantime, if anyone has an idea about how I can make the most beautiful woman I know take a liking to me, suggestions are welcome...

19 Years!

I just wanted to thank everyone who left me messages and helped make my birthday special!

Back 2 School

It feels good to back to what feels like home! Actual home got really old really fast when I wasn't at work. The only really productive thing I did is ripping all 400+ of my CDs onto my computer. I was surprised to see it only took 20 GB of space and also that I have 6000 songs. Good lord.

As good as I feel to back, for some reason I'm apprehensive about this semester. As previously stated I have lots of work to do, not only with voice but also with 4 more credit hours. Who knows what I'm in store for with friends/possible girlfriends?? Maybe it's just because I just got here and haven't seen hardly anyone yet. It's always the period of adjustment that is the hardest... when classes start I'll be fine.

Till then,
BT

Interesting Day

... started by me not being able to get to sleep. Then when I woke up I felt nautious and had to go to work. Got sent all over the place, but in the end I felt a little better. Went home, slept for about 3 hours till dinner.

Then went to pick up Colleen and we saw Chamber Chorale in concert along with my high school choir at my church. Afterwards we found out that the choir's dressing room was broken into... several friends of mine lost valuables. At the moment, I am truly ashamed to say I attend that church. Who would think of doing such a thing? Frustrated...

Aside from that, I really enjoyed the concert. It was great to see my old choir again.. it brought back lots of memories. Seeing Chamber or UChoir is always an inspiration and motivation for me to work as hard as I can to get a callback for next year. Hearing those mature voices tells me exactly what I need to strive for.

Wonderful job Chamber!

I have a feeling that lots of these entries will be me rambling about my tates in music. So read on if you dare.


Grand revalation... Wings is an amazing band. And not just because it includes Sir Paul McCartney... the band works incredibly well on its own.

Tonight I listened to 2 of their most underrated albums, Wild Life and Back to the Egg. Wild Life is hit-or-miss, depending on one's tolerance for repetitive jamming. But still an interesting listen.

Back to the Egg... wow. It's amazing that few appreciate this era of Wings. There is great music on this record, a favorite of mine being "Spin it On." Paul even wrote a few disco-flavored songs, haha. Terry Hemmert refers to this as one of her favorite Paul albums... she's not kidding.

Hung out with John last night at the pool hall... hadn't seen him in a long time. Lots of fun... I'm actually not half bad at pool. Saw my old friend Eric Briggs there too.

Worked this morning. Tell me someone, do I often complain about things? Cuz there's a guy I work with who does nothing but complain about our salesman, ALL DAY. Often times it is the salesman's fault, but why complain if you can't do anything about it? I feel like a hypocrite for complaining right now, ugh.

Hello

Well I think it's time I gave in and got an online journal of sorts. I don't know whether it will be worth it or if I'll have anything to write other than "what I did today." But we'll see.

Just over one week left of winter break. First semester flew by in the blink of an eye. I have learned so much, not only about music but also life in general. In fact, so much that I can't even express it in words. And there's so much more to learn too. Pray for me in the upcoming semester, that I begin to figure out more of who I am and grow as a singer in the meantime.
