So first of all, let's talk about the subject of napping. I believe it is awesome and should be allowed back into schools. I mean think about it, how productive would the average day be if we just took 30 minutes each day and napped? Today I took an hour long nap and I feel so much better and ready to enjoy rehearsal. I'm sitting here at the theater waiting for rehearsal to start.
Now on to the next subject of Alex. She is cool and witty with some of her comments, and I like having her doing shows. I'm so glad that she decided to listen to me and come back and stay in Jekyll. She gets to be a babbling old woman with rant ling black gloves and a fan, but the best part is that I have a better fashion sense than she does, only because I'm a Fop (don't know what it is? Take time to look it up).
Concert tomorrow night, and they will be fine, just wish that some of them would just take this class seriously. But okay, rehearsal is about to start so I will post more later. Go take a nap.

Sitting at rehearsal after a long day
So I'm sitting at rehearsal typing this on my IPod and it has been a really long day. To start off with, my car decided o die on me last night at church an I had to have it jumpe off, then after a really awesome youth revival at Iotla Baptist Church, I had to call my favorite heroine (Amanda) to come jump me off. Sure I could have called the roommates to come to the rescue, but then I wouldn't have seen Amanda at all. So I was kind of glad thaty car died. Now let's talk about today.
Today started of like any other day with my alarm going off and me waking up to hit the snooze button, but apparently I decided that I wasn't going to wake up and turned off the alarm. So I woke up later than usual (only by 10 minutes, but it's still enough to throw tour entire day off). Then school was about the se as it usually is, concert choir concert next Thursday and B-Nats Dinner Theatre in November that we are practicing for and if I must say so myself (and I do) the choreography is some of the best that I have come up with yet. Thank Scotty for letting me participate in the musicals. I've got some really awesome ideas from that. Then 4th period comes and o decide I'm going to take my planning period and get my cars battery looked at and inspected so I can get my car registered, since it expires tomorrow. The people at Dan's Auto Service are awesome and come to find out my battery is okay, but in order to pass inspection I have to have a tire changed and two light bulbs changed in my tag light. Well the only place on town that has it is going to cost 95 dollars a piece for the tire plus tax. There goes my budget for the month. But at least it's done and taken care of. Tomorrow my goal is to get my tag taken care of and then it'll be over. But it's getting hard to type on the IPod so this is enough for now.

Lots of stuff going through my head
You know it's been a really long day when you think of something really deep and philosophical to post on your blog and then when you sit down to write it the only thing that comes out is..... "duh"... Now I know some of you (of the three people that actually read this) are thinking "Well, if you don't have anything to post, then why are you writing it. The answer to that question is very quite simple... because I want to. You have two choices, you can either keep reading it and just deal with my ADD or you can stop.
Now a lot has been going on lately. We have started marching season and are halfway through and we have had our ups and downs, but it's turning out to be an overall great year. The kids seem to be enjoying the show and the staff is having a blast with it. I have started a new philosophy this year of I'm going out there and giving it my best each week and if the judges like it then great and if they don't then it's their loss for not recognizing greatness. Sound cocky? Yes, but then again I don't care. I feel as if this is the best choreography that I have done since I've started. Am I still learning things? Yes, and it will continue to improve. But we shall see what happens as the season continues. Three performances down and three left to go. If they don't win am I going to be upset? No, as long as they go out there and have fun that's all I care about.
Choir is going well. Concert choir has their first concert coming up in a few weeks and I think they are starting to realizes that it's quickly approaching. They'll be fine, I have faith in them (and we have been working on some of this music since the beginning of the semester). B-Nats is getting ready for their Dinner Theater performance at the AP Biology Italian Dinner on November 6th (Tickets are $10 a piece, and you can choose your seating time 630-830pm). Love songs are great, but they all sound the same to me after awhile so we just have to switch it up a little bit. I love singing Christmas music in September.
We had a tragic lose this week in town with the death of a young man. Makes me kind of think and hope that maybe this will be a wakeup call to some of the young people in town about making the right decisions and thinking about the outcome of things before putting yourself into certain situations. I can only hope that God's going to use this situation and get the glory for it. We aren't promised tomorrow and live each day so the preacher won't have to lie at your funeral.
There are two quotes that I'm trying to think about everyday when I leave the house and start my day:
1. Let us endeavor to live so that when we die even the undertaker will be sad-Mark Twain
2. Be who you want us to be- A kid from my youth group
I encourage you to take these two quotes and to apply them to your life. Live, Laugh, Love and Learn, but never forget that God's looking down and loving each one of us.
