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.
