Best Phone Call Ever

So yesterday I was on my way to meet my S&E Marketing group to finalize our presentation. I get a call from MA. All I hear is background noise and finally make out "Lullabye." MA gives the phone to Troy and he says "Everyone say 'Hi' to Rosie" and sings the song. They kept me on the phone during the whole song. Got to sing the last part of the song with MA even though I wasn't there. It put a big cheeeeeessssy smile on my face. I felt so special. These people are AWESOME!

In da Club

So two nights in a row I go out clubbing. Ok, not really clubbing, but I went to a couple of clubs where I just sat around and people watched (danced a few times). Yesterday I went to Cool River with my friend Sarah to see John play with a cover band called Mars Hill. It was interesting to say the least. I felt like a little kid compared to all the older folks in there. They were all jammin to the cover tunes being played. The band even played "Don't be Cruel" by Bobby Brown...which was sooo old skool, but good!

I just got home tonight from Times Square. We hung out at the San Antonio Rose part. Seeing all the girlies in there, I realized I was STUPID in my relationship with my ex. He hung out there all the time and I'm sorry but it is such a big pick-up joint. I believed him when he said that he just hung out with friends, but come on, that place is such a meat market. ARGH!!! Anyway, it was just weird being at a club. I am so used to going to see my boys and chillin'. It was fun, but I was feeling a little out of place. Am I getting old? Nah!!!!!!

Well, this is just some random mumbling. No I'm not drunk, just wanted to randomly tell you what I did this weekend.

Anyway, don't forget to turn your clocks ahead an hour or you'll be late!!!!

Awesome up and coming Dallas artists

You need to check out the JFJ Band and Tracie Merchant. wakingNorman had the pleasure of playing with both these artists this past weekend and they totally rocked.

The JFJ Band has a Goo-Goo dollish/Billy Joel sound. They soooo rocked out! The guys competed against them in the Guitar Center's Best Band search finals in Houston last year.


John, wN's drummer walked into a Dallas Starbucks and was blown away by this female singing and playing a hell of a guitar. He immediately called me and told me to remember her name. Tracie Merchant. She came out to the wN show last night and we got her to do a couple of songs. Wow, I wish I could play the guitar!


Check out both these up and coming Dallas musicians. You will thank me later!

Ok Cupid

Found this quiz off of Yano's site. Take it and find out what you are. Here's what came up for me, I am...

The Nurse
Random Gentle Sex Dreamer (RGSDf)

Friendly and eager. Sexy in white. You are The Nurse.

Like your male counterpart, The Poolboy, you're a fun and goofy, but giving, friend. You believe that life and love should be taken with a grain of salt. We'll bet you smile a lot, which people find contagious.

If only they knew the reason...the fact is, you spend WAY more time fantasizing than the average girl. While your friends lean desperately towards love, you're chemically biased towards anti-love: sex. You'd never date someone you didn't find immediately kissable.

Your exact opposite:
The Battleaxe - Deliberate Brutal Love Master

To maximize satisfaction, you should find someone carefree and sexual, just like you. Avoid Brutal types at all costs. A final bit of advice: experience doesn't matter. You didn't qualify as a Master, and your perfect match need not either. Consider both The Poolboy and The Playboy.

BUT ALWAYS AVOID: The False Messiah, The Mixed Messenger

Say Goodbye

Just wanted to post the lyrics of my most favorite DMB song. Read it and take it as you want.

"Say Goodbye" by Dave Matthews Band

So here we are tonight
You and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
What's on my mind
You've got me wild
Turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
Up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening
When we make
Our passion pictures
You and me twist up
Secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
To the best
Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl just tonight

Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
Run away

And tomorrow
back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love you
And tomorrow say goodbye

What kind of Soul do I possess?


You have a heartsick soul! Youre the type of girl
who always has a crush and is writing their
name on all your books. You are a hopeless
romantic. Waiting for that prince charming, you
take love seriously, but still play any chance
you get. You can have a lot if boys who are
friends, but waiting for that perfect
boyfriend. Sometimes you are discouraged
because there are no sparks but even if the
smallest thing happens, youre on Cloud 9. You
believe in true love and wait for it. Just dont
be afraid to take a chance. Love is all about
risks.

Which of the five Chinese elements am I? (This would be a VERY COOL tattoo).


You are the chinese element of Earth. People who
are under the element of earth are sociable,
responsible and reliable. Earth, you are a
tactician, but you always crave acceptance and
are usually hard headed. The color of earth is
yellow and your symbol is the caldron.
Inbetween all of the seasons is when Earth
shines, and your months are
March/June/September/and December. Your
weather condition is windy. Earth is the
center direction, and your day is Saturday,
while your planet is Saturn. Animals under
your element are usually naked. People under
you are Manchu. Your sense is touch, your
taste is sweet, your sound is singing and your
virtue is good faith. Your organ is the
spleen. You were created by Fire and you
control Water.

Update on my life

Well here's a quick low down on my life. It's been pretty crazy these past couple of weeks. I just finished my take-home final exam for S&E Marketing and I have the in-class later today. We have two weeks until our final project is due and that will be pretty intense since our dear prof has invited some real world customers to the presentation.

Band stuff has kept me busy too....and frustrated. It is having it's ups and downs at the moment, but a friend of mine said it's just that time of year where everyone is stressed out. Some of the ups though...going to Austin for SXSW. We didn't get into the conference, but we got to play an industry party. This past Saturday we played at the Bordon Uptown Run. It was cool seeing the faces of some special olympic athletes when they got to meet the guys. Some of the downs...I seem to be the listening post for everyone, which I don't mind, but everyone is so unhappy and stressed. All these gigs, although strategic, not worth it to some of the guys anymore. They are getting discouraged and that reflects on us the staff and it makes everything crazy! We just need to get back on track. Things will turn around I hope. I love the guys and only want to see them succeed but how can they when they are not feeling the music anymore? ARGH!!!!

On a personal note, feeling a little conflicted in life, but getting through it. I made some mistakes last week, no regrets, just getting me down a little right now. Will pull through!

Lenten Sacrifice

Gave up my regular pop and red meat. I was going to give up fast food junk food, but it's so hard with the schedule I'm on. My eating schedule is all screwed up and by the time I am done with school or work nothing good is ever open except for the fast food joints. Hence, red meat and pop it is. What have you given up for the next 40 days?
