Merry Christmas

This post is a day late, but Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope everyone had a good holiday. For me it was a little different. I had to work on Christmas Eve then went home and watched the mass from the Vatican. I was pretty emotional since this is the first Christmas not with my mom. But thanks to my surrogate families in Texas it was all good.

Today, I am going to be running around, getting last minute stuff done for Greenland. Two more days and I'm outta here! Keep checking back for more exciting stuff.

This weekend...

So my mom's visit wasn't too bad. She's my mom and I love her, but she's still a mom. I am so glad she got to come down for my graduation (yes, I graduated Friday!). She also got to meet my friends down here and I couldn't have asked for anything more. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. We had dinner with some of the band people and she had a good time. I love my friends and my mom of course!

Here's an update on the past couple of days...

Wednesday - Mom arrives. Had a couple of drinks before picking her up. Went out with a friend later that night and didn't get home til 3:30. Let's just say it was an interesting night. I get home and my mom starts getting mad at me. Oh well, I was able to get up the next morning, no problem.

Thursday - Intern in the morning and dinner with band people. Mmmmm...Covino's. Wish other people could have come, oh well.

Friday - GRADUATION DAY! Went car shopping early in the day then graduated at night. Got my MBA from the University of Dallas. It was an awesome feeling walking into the gym with all those people cheering. Didn't really feel finished with school until I walked across that stage and was handed my diploma, yes my actual diploma not an empty one with "degree to be delivered" in it. It was a pretty quick ceremony. There were 126 graduates that walked. The keynote speaker was a little boring, but we got through it. Dr.Clark ran through the names. It only took 1 1/2 hours. The guys played at dJango's and I took my mom to see them. When I got there people congratulated me on my graduation and some were actually upset because I didn't tell them about the ceremony. Didn't realize how many people actually wanted to go to my ceremony to cheer me on. I would have invited everyone, mostly the band guys, but they had to be at their gig and I wasn't sure how long the ceremony would have lasted. But I truly appreciate the love my friends give me. I think my mom enjoyed herself except for the smoke. The guys put on a hell of a performance. She got to meet the rest of the band guys she didn't get to meet Thursday night. That was FUN!

Saturday - Got my 04 Xterra! Then went to dinner at Kirby's. Thanks Mel for the hook-up! Here's a pic of the new car. I'll get a pic of my actual car soon and post it on here.


Sunday - Mom left early. I love that woman and admire her for the love that she continuously gives me despite my irresponsibility with money. She has so much strength that is undescribable. She took an early flight because my aunt kept calling about Uncle Art. I hope everything is okay.

That has been my weekend so far. Every day/night we've gone out to eat. Tonight...Maggiano's. Then, no more eating out!

T minus 5 hours

My mom will be here in 5 hours. My apartment smells like Pine Sol and I'm doing final laundry stuff. Spent all day Monday cleaning the apartment and I put up my little Christmas tree. Yesterday, not having to do with cleaning, but just a busy day...I drove from pretty much the farthest point North to the farthest point South as I had to take Troy and John around. We did passport stuff then went over to record some music. It's cool hanging with my boys. Watched Gangs of New York, sorry but I didn't enjoy it too much. It was just toooooo long. At one point I thought it was over and it just kept going. Had I been prepared, I would have probably enjoyed it more. Anyway, I need to put the clothes in the dryer. More later.

Blame it on the Rain

I LOVE rain, but not when I need to get shit done! I need to wash some linens, maybe I should just lay them outside? ARGH!

Weekend Wrap-up

Nothing too exciting this weekend. It's weird when we don't have a show, but very chill and relaxing. I caught a cold from Thanksgiving. I think it may have had to do with waking up and being outside so early, then after dinner doing the campfire thing, both in cold weather. I should have been better dressed for the campfire. Oh well, Tylenol Cold, Advil, and Claritin (because at work my eyes were a little itchy and the weather wasn't too bad Friday) have been in my system the past couple of days.

I had dinner with the DuPre' family. They are an awesome family and GREAT cooks! They are so much fun to be around. I'm so glad that I was able to be a part of their family. I'd have to thank Troy again for asking me to be a part of the band staff. I've made wonderful friends through it.

Friday night I got to hang with three of my favorite people...John, Wes and NaMicha. It was a very chill night. Headed out to their neck of the woods and we went out to Greenville Ave. Went to the Pony Keg, dead, but I like chill bars. Would have gone to lower Greenville, but we couldn't find parking. After we went to an Asian food place that is open til 3am! I think the name is Nanding/Nandina, something like that. It's afilliated with River Spice...yum....Shrimp Tempura Rolls at 1:30am! All in all, we just hung out and it was fun.

Also, my friend Glenda is back from England. She made Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday night so I went by there after work. I'm all about still eating Thanksgiving food after Thursday since I don't have "leftovers". Give me stuffing and baked Mac and Cheese anyday!

Booty calls...don't get them often, but you gotta love 'em!

Mom comes in three days so I need to get cleaning. Then I can put up my Christmas three. Can you feel the holiday season?

Cleaning out my Closet

Cleaning out my closet is a chore. I have soooooo much clothes I don't know what to do with. I made three piles, one for goodwill, one for the Philippines and one for a local women's shelter. The one for the women's shelter has been put on hold so my mom can go through and pick out stuff for her, my aunt, and the Philippines. I just want to get everything out of here! Now, time to clean the bathroom and kitchen...wish me luck!

Did you know?

I got this forward from my cousin and thought it was pretty cool. Of course, it's one of those chain letter things, but the meaning is what's important. To all my friends:

Did you know ???

Did you know that when you envy someone, it's because you really like that person?

Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weak and most succeptible?

Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need some one to protect them?

Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are :
"I Love You" "Sorry" and "Help Me"
The people who say these are actually in need of them or really feel them, and are the ones you really need to treasure, because they have said them.

Did you know that people who occupy themselves by keeping others company or helping others are the ones that actually need your company and help?

Did you know that those who dress in red are more confident in themselves?

Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy their beauty?

Did you know that those who dress in black, are those who want to be unnoticed and need your help and understanding?

Did you know that when you help someone, the help is returned in two folds?

Did you know that those who need more of you are those that don't mention it to you?

Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writing than saying it to someone in the face? But did you know that it has more value when you say it to their face?

Did you know that what is most difficult for you to say or do is much more valuable than anything that is valuable that you can buy with money?

Did you know that if you ask for something in faith, your wishes are granted?

Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you really knew, you'd be surprised by what you could do.

But don't believe everything I tell you, until you try it for yourself , if you know someone that is in need of something that I mentioned, and you know that you can help, you'll see that it will be returned in two-fold.

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON ME???... AT THE MOMENT, TIME AND PLACE THAT YOU NEED ME, CALL ME, I WILL BE THERE WITH YOU!!!!!

"One day, we will change the world...or we are already changing it " THE BALL IS NOW IN YOUR COURT... If the world were to end in 24 hours, all the phone lines, chat rooms and e-mails will be saturated from people sending messages to others, saying: "I regret having made you feel bad", "Pardon me", "I love you", "I hold you in high esteem", take good care of yourself" and sometimes "I have always loved you, only I never told you".

Today, the ball of FRIENDSHIP is in your court, send this to those who truly are your friends (including me if I am one). Also, do not feel bad if no one sends this back to you in the end, you'll find out that you'll get to keep the ball for other people want more...

Catch Up

So much to write but so little time. Really quick though....

Happy Birthday to Beth and Jackie! You ladies are awesome. I love you both!

Need to get my oil changed. I was going to go to the dealer, but I'm just going to hop across to the Jiffy Lube.

Need to get Passport stuff done. ARGH!

One room in my apartment is Clean, except.....NO VACUUM!!! I haven't gotten it back from Glenda. Anyway, I threw ALOT of stuff away. Time to go through clothes for resale. That's a chore in itself.

Days til mom comes: 10...ahhhhh!!!

If you are looking at my blog today, November 9th, then you will see my Unkymood is "Anxious." Not really sure why I'm anxious, I just am. ARGH!

He Will be Loved

When I first heard this song I wasn't into it, but the more and more I hear it, the more and more I love it. I need to get Songs About Jane, I'm so behind on Maroon 5. I saw them open for John Mayer and they were okay, but maybe I just needed to pay better attention to them. Anyway, here are the lyrics to She Will Be Loved. For me I would change some of the pronouns, but I can totally relate.

She (He) Will Be Loved

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

[in the background]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

Yeah
[softly]
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Try so hard to say goodbye

Does Anyone Really Care?

Does anyone read my blog? I am just wondering. Am I just babbling online to no one? Is this just for my own sake? Do I need to be posting more? If you do, please let me know by posting a comment. Thanks!

PMSing All Week Sucks

Okay, so it hasn't been a good week emotionally. I've had major PMS. I've been pretty sensitive to things. It all started with not knowing if my friend in Chicago was pissed at me and my friends for our drunk night last Friday. Then making stupid drunk phone calls. Then Kerry doesn't win the presidency. Then I find out that family members aren't coming to my graduation now since my mom is coming...please don't need your pity. I have friends who WANT to come and support me. Then the guys get back from Alaska and as everyone asks me how things went and I snap. Then...and the list goes on and on. I hate this time of the month. But not to worry, things are better today.

Saw the boys play last night. Show went well, but I guess it was a disappointment for management. Apparently the guys didn't have the energy that they had in Alaska. Welcome home I suppose. They played two new songs. Little Girl I liked and One Heart I guess I just need to listen to and get used to. It kinda sounds like they are still working on that one. Then again, I didn't like Bittersweet Backseat when I first heard it, but I love it now.

Anyway, so that's how my week has been. Hope everyone else has had a better one.

What is your Political Persuasion?

You Are a New School Democrat

You like partying and politics - and are likely to be young and affluent. You're less religious, traditional, and uptight than most Democrats. Smoking pot, homosexuality, and gambling are all okay in your book. You prefer that the government help people take care of themselves.

What political persuasion are you?

Four more years of.....

Senator John Kerry is giving his concession speech. It's official, four more years of uncertainty, war, economic troubles, rich people getting richer, poor people getting poorer, basic rights being taken away because the religious right doesn't believe in it, people continuing to suffer because stem cell research cannot be done, a country divided, young people dying in a war that doesn't pertain to us, on and on and on.

I am proud the amount of young people that came out to vote, but I wish many of them made the decision because they wanted their candidate and not their parents.

With the percentage of popular votes and the electoral college, it is proof of how divided our country is.

Doesn't it scare you when people outside of our country are scared for us? I met a man from England yesterday and he said people across the seas think Americans are idiots for supporting George Bush. They are watching the elections just as closely as we are and they are genuinely afraid.

Does it bother anyone that we are led in this war by only one person that has actually served in the Military? I was listening to NPR and they talked about the military records of key Democrats and key Republicans and the D's outweigh the R's. The R's only have Colin Powell, everyone else was able to avoid military service...must be nice to have money.

Okay, so I guess we have to come together as a country and fight for what we believe in. We have a leader that half the country doesn't want, but we have to live with it.

2008 - Hilary Clinton/Barack Obama???????

Happy Election Day!

It's November 2nd, so all I have to say is....

Back from Chicago

Well, I took my girls up to Chicago. Here's a little summary of what we did.

Wednesday - Arrived and ate dinner at Armando's...YUM!!! Then we went to see The Grudge. I thought it was good. It wasn't scary gross, but scary spooky. The little Japanese boy was probably the scariest part of the movie.

Thursday - Art Institute, Millenium Park, Bakers on State Street (where Jackie and NaMicha got some good deals), H&M, dinner at Eli's...YUM!!!, Blue Chicago for some Live Blues.

Friday - Lunch at Benihana, Tour of Chicago, Top of the Sears Tower, Rode the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier, dinner at Gino's, out to FUNK and Bootleggers on Division and Rush...OUCH!

Saturday - Paid for Friday night. Ate at Jimmy John's. Walked around the city more. Went to see Ray. Ray is a must see. It was interesting to see the life of Ray Charles. That man has been through alot of shit and persevered.

Sunday - Ate lunch at Foodlife, did last minute shopping and came home to Dallas. Worked on marketing plan on the plane. Went over to Pete's and chilled with Beth and MA and gave out candy to Trick-or-Treaters.

Whew, busy past five days. Will try to post some pics soon.

So Much for my Happy Ending

Okay, so I was supposed to see Avril Lavigne tonight at the AAC. Julie's roommate's daughter won tickets from KISS but she couldn't go because she had a volleyball game, so being the good friend she is, Julie invited me to go see Avril. I said sure, hey it's FREE tickets to a concert, right? Anyway, needless to say I met Julie at our regular hang out and by the time we left, it was just too late and we made every excuse in the book not to have to travel all the way down to the AAC. That and we had a few drinks. We got a few feet down Preston and made a long U-turn through the State Farm parking lot. I'm sure the show rocked, but sorry, no review here. Beasties still kicked ass thought! So much for my happy ending...I still can't think of Avril's first song (I can remember sk8ter Boi though). ARGH!

You Can't, You Won't And You Don't Stop

Went to see the Beastie Boys last night at the AAC. For a bunch of old guys they still put on a Kick Ass show. From the old skool to the new skool AWESOME! Of course when they took the stage, people lit up. Ahhhh, second hand smoke. The floor was general admission and people were moshing. Could never do GA. There was a guy in a Sasquatch outfit. People were just interesting in general. The Beasties did their encore from a section over.

One thing that I was confused about is that Ad Rock made his political statement for the evening "We need to get George Bush out of office" while throughout the whole show MCA had a "W" sticker on him. Is there political conflict in the band?

Overall...it was a great, energetic, entertaining show! Monday night...Avril Lavigne. Hey FREE tickets baby!

So my boys played at 8.0's in Fort Worth this weekend. I have a thing for matches (yes I am a pyro). While waiting at the bar for my beer I decided to grab an 8.0's matchbook. I turned it over and to my pleasant surprise I saw one of the best messages on the other side. What did it say???

"Ignorance of your culture is NOT considered cool."

Sweet Home Chicago

Booked my flight...going home to Chicago Halloween weekend and I'm bringing my Texas girls with me. While our boys are in Alaska, we are having a girl's weekend in Chi-town. I get to bring my girls home and let them see my city and my mom gets to meet the "chicks" of the band. I'm so excited. All my Chicago peeps need to give me the heads up on where to take them clubbin'...haven't been to a Chicago club in a loooooonnnnggg ass time. Any suggestions, please post.

If I Ever Lose My Faith....

Last night I went to see Sting and Annie Lennox at the Smirnoff Music Center. What a beautiful night to be on the lawn as both amazing artists did their sets. WOW! I can now mark off these two artists from MUST SEE concerts(also on the list, Madonna, Prince, U2).

The "opener" was Sting's guitarist Dominic Miller. His guitar skills are awesome. He even played the National Anthem for all us Americans...beautiful. Then his surrogate older brother Sting, came out and did "Shape of My Heart"...amazing.

Annie Lennox came out next. She has such an amazing voice. Doing stuff I didn't recognize and then some of her hits, especially "Here Comes the Rain Again" as she played the piano. As she did "Why?" you can see the "Dangerous Liasons" concept video in your head. She came on for her encore and did "Sweet Dreams"...wow.

Finally the moment, Sting takes the stage. Lovely voice, sexy man, mesmerizing guitar playing...yum! The stage was amazing. The video screens behind him flashing artsy imagery, girls in lingerie, "Fields of Gold", guitar camera shots, etc. At one point Annie Lennox came out and did "We'll Be Together" with Sting. And Sting's backup singer, something Rose...sorry I can't remember her name, did a duet with him and her voice was on fire! My favorite was his encore when he did "Desert Rose" and "Every Breath you Take." I can't think of anymore adjectives, just check out the show. Two legendary artists in one night...can't miss, shouldn't miss!

Broke as a Joke

Argh....I'm a sucker for going on a road trip. Julie and I went to Shreveport again and as usual I lost money and she comes home with money. I started doing well towards the end, but it was just time for us to go. We went to Sam's Town and Hollywood Casinos. We need to go to Harrah's next time. And we need to go when I feel the bug.

Interesting since I was told the other day that "Rosie" is very close to a stripper name. Not a good way to impress a girl. Doesn't matter because as the conversation went on, I was told that I am not a very friendly person. Whatever drunka$$.

How much of a friend can I be?

I have a friend who is going through a ROUGH time in his life. Another friend called me up and asked if I talked to him lately. I've called him, left him messages, even left my phone number on his voicemail in case he needed to talk. I've heard he's been crashing and that scares me. I've offered my help, but no call backs. Whether he realizes it or not, there are people who care and depend on him being well. ARGH, do I just give up or wait til he comes around? I'm not stalking, not obsessed, just want to be a friend and make sure he doesn't go off the deep end...hope it's not too late!

More Linkin Park

We all interpret lyrics differently...this is one I can relate to somewhat right now.

"Somewhere I Belong" by Linkin Park
from

When this began
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And I'd let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
When all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
Nothing to loose
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own and the fault is my own

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long
Erase all the pain till its gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
Like Im close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didnt fall right down on my face
I was confused
Looking everwhere only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
So what am I
What do I have but negativity
Cause I cant justify the way everyone is looking at me
Nothing to loose
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own and the fault is my own

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long
Erase all the pain til its gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
Like Im close to something real
I want to find something Ive wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything
till I break away from me
I will break away
I'll find myself today

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long
Erase all the pain till it's gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
Like Im close to something real
I want to find something Ive wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong

Somewhere I belong

Confusion

So here's an update in my world....

Life sucks!

Friends?! I put myself in this position and kick myself in the ass for it. No emotions, that was the agreement...dammit! Why do I care so much?

"I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind"
-"Run Away" by Linkin Park

ARGH...on a different note, just bought Linkin Park "Live in Texas"...going to watch the DVD after Seinfeld. Gotta love Linkin Park though...pay attention to the lyrics. Here's another one for you...

"Crawling" by Linkin Park

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real

there's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
consuming/confusing
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending
controlling/I can't seem

to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real

discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
distracting/reacting
against my will I stand beside my own reflection
it's haunting how I can't seem...

to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing confusing what is real

there's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
consuming/confusing what is real
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending
controlling/confusing what is real

Classes are O-V-E-R!!!

Whew...didn't think this day would come. My classes are over with. I have one more major class and I will graduate in December. Today we had our final S&E Sponsorships presentation. Although I think ours was probably the best, thanks to Sudd, Sherry's Sundance Square presentation may just win. Who knows.

Anyway, need to figure out what "lay the bead" means. Dammit, I lost "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to a redneck and I owe him a bunch of dances...ARGH! The original bet was a dance in Tulsa, but he missed that and claimed that I owed him dances. I tried to explain that he said in OK, but he wasn't budging. So in my drunkerd state he took advantage of me. We were going to flip a coin, but upon my suggestion ended up doing Rock, Paper, Scissors. Needless to say, I now owe him dances in the State of Texas...ARGH!!

Well, it's time for me to go to bed. Right on, starting the week off right by being a little buzzed...ugh! I was good yesterday and stayed home, but it looks like another week of fun (can you sense the sarcasm???). Good night.

John Mayer = HOT!

John Mayer ROCKED!!!!! I love the acoustic guitar! The show was awesome. Good music, HOT singer, beautiful weather on a Friday evening, awesome friends, 24oz beers, what more can one ask for?

John Mayer's guitar skills were undefinable. I think the best song of the night was probably "Come Back to Bed" and/or "Your Body is a Wonderland". Obviously the fan base was't full of Eric Clapton fans because as I went to the restroom during the song, so did everyone else in the venue. I wanted him to play "Love Song for No One" but he didn't...ARGH. But overall his show kicked @$$!!!

As for Maroon 5, they were good, but I wasn't too impressed. My friend Sherry said that they remind her of Jamiroqui (I hope I spelled it correctly) and I can see that. He hit some notes and some were just off.

If the tour comes to your town, you MUST go. It's a show that you won't want to miss!

Going to See John Mayer and Maroon 5 Tonight!!!

I just wanted to say that it's going to be fun going to a show and it's not my boys playing. John Mayer and Maroon 5....I'm soooooo excited. Lots of fun with my peeps! Whoo-hooo. Will post more later, for now off to a band meeting.

Bush Bashing or just telling the TRUTH?

 
I think that everyone should go see "Farenheit 9/11".  Political or not, this is an eye-opening movie.  Many believe it is Bush bashing but I see it as telling the truth on what has happened these past four years in our country.  Yes, the movie is a bit biased against Bush, but the footage presented backs up the reason for the hating.  I don't want to spoil the documentary, but it gives you an honest look at the Bush administration and the shadiness behind many of his dealings.  It gives you insight on the war from the family's perspective and soldier's perspective.  It shows how the military twistedly focuses its recruiting on the young men and women of our inner cities who fight wars everyday.  It reminds us that the young men and women in Iraq fighting are there for the wrong reasons.  It proves that money can buy alot of things, even the richest country, USA. 
 
If this movie doesn't make you get out and vote, then I really don't know what will.  Please see the movie and make the intelligent choice.  Do we go through another four years of deceit or do we take back control of our government?  Politicians will be politicians but we can't go another four years with republicans and Bush in control.

I am up early, supposed to pull back some trash cans for a friend out in Fairview, but waiting to hear from a band boy. Anyway, later tonight I am meeting up with some friends and we are heading out to Sherlock's Pub. It should be interesting. We are taking a friend out there to forget his hoochie ex that he's been stalking and looking like a fool in front of. We are also visiting our friend who is a new manager up there, as well as playing Trivia. Everyone talked about how they planned on getting Shitty tonight. Maybe I should drive myself??? I have so much shit to do and I am blogging right now. Priorities! =) Anyway, have a good day and wish me luck tonight!

God Bless The USA
by Lee Greenwood

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again
with just my children and my wife,
I'd thank my lucky stars
to be living here today,
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that away.

I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

From the lakes of Minnesota
to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas
from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A.,
There's pride in every American heart
and it's time we stand and say:

I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

First I want to wish my friend Pete a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Not that he reads this, but if should ever come across it, it's here.

It's been a busy week. As can be seen by my mutterings being posted on Wednesday when they should have been posted on Sunday. I have a project due on Monday, I've been helping my friend pack his house, and I've just been running around doing stuff that I can't even remember. Anyway, I can't wait until next Monday. My project will be done (at least for another month when we have another project due), my boys play Tuesday night in Lewisville, and Wednesday I head to Chicago for the week/weekend. Good times will be had in Chicago next week. Until then, I must end here. If I post again, it's only because I am procrastinating.

So if you are reading my post on Wednesday night, technically Thursday morning then you will see that according to my unkymood I am feeling like a Loser. Why you may ask?

I'm there whenever my friend needs me, but where is he? Or maybe I'm just drunk and sensitive and should probably get some sleep....yeah that's it....I just need to go to bed....Good night!

Ten on Tuesday

on Wednesday...



This is the Ten on Tuesday topic "Ten Things That Annoy You When You Drive" and I pulled this of my Asian Avenue homepage which pretty much addresses the topic.

Ten Things that Cause Road Rage:
1) people who don’t use signals…how else am i supposed to know that you are going to cut in front of me.
2) when you have a multiple lane (at least more than one going in each direction) road and you’re the only one on it, then someone turns onto the road and turn into your lane….uhhhh hello there are two other empty lanes!!!!
3) people on their cell phones, you can’t wait another five minutes til you get home?
4) people who cut across 4 lanes on a highway to get to their exit….uh yeah, don’t you read signs…your exit is coming!!!
5) kids not in safety seats….you want your kid going through the windshield????
6) along the lines of #1, people who signal last minute…yeah, thanks for giving me a warning ahead of time.
7) people driving 10 mph when it’s snowing…but the snow isn’t even sticking!!
8) cars with their high beams on, yes you are blinding me!
9) cars with the florescent lights
10) slow drivers in the left lane

Again in no partucluar order...these tend to change day to day.

Goodbye Ronnie!

Ronald Reagan passed away Saturday afternoon. He was such a wonderful man, even in his Alzheimer's years. He is the first president I truly remember. He was a man that truly changed the world. One claim to fame I have is that I share the same birthday, February 6th. You will be missed kind gentle soul. The following quote can be seen on every blog, website, magazine, newspaper paying tribute to good ole Ronnie:

"Whatever else history may say about me when I’m gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears; to your confidence rather than your doubts. My dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty’s lamp guiding your steps and opportunity’s arm steadying your way.”

The Promise

This is for Ashley. Thanks to Darcy for figuring out who does the song.



"The Promise"
by When in Rome

When you need a friend, don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end, I'll always be there.
But when you're in doubt, and when you're in danger,
Take a look all around, and I'll be there.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.

When your day is through, and so is your temper,
You know what to do, I'm gonna always be there.
Sometimes if I shout, it's not what's intended.
These words just come out, with no gripe to bear.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.

I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, I need to tell you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will. I will. I will.

If you haven't seen it, you must watch it. It started off a little scary and sad, but in the end...HAPPY! Don't want to give away the movie, so just rent it and watch it.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day Weekend. Have a safe holiday weekend.

Here's a brief history on Memorial Day...

"Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service to our country. It began during the Civil War when organized women's groups in several towns throughout the South decorated the graves of the Confederate war dead with flowers, wreaths and flags. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5th, 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on May 30, 1868."

Let us remember all those who have fought for our freedom. Pray for those that continue to fight in the Middle East so that those overseas can appreciate and live the freedom we do here in the United States. Thank you to all the service men and women who are giving up their own freedom for others. God Bless!

What Kind of Kiss am I?

One last quiz...


You have a mysterious kiss. Your partner never
knows what you're going to come up with next;
this creates great excitement and arousal never
knowing what to expect. And it's sure to end
in a kiss as great as your mystery.

Which kind of candy am I?

This was interesting....and I know I haven't taken this one before. There are other candies that I could relate to, but here is my result.


You're chocolate. You're the old soul type, people
feel that they have known you their entire
life. Many often open up to you for they view
you as thoughtful and trustworthy. Although
people trust you, you have a hard time trusting
them. You prefer to keep your feelings bottled
up inside, or display them very quietly. It is
alright to open up every once in a while.

I know I've done this one before, but I tried it again to see if my results would change. Nope, still the perfect girlfriend.

the kind of chick that can hang out with your

Well, I think I've taken this before but decided to do it again, just in case.



You have a Calm Soul! Being calm and cool is what you do best. You collected thoughts and always positive attitude make you very bright and logical. When theres a problem, you know how to approach it, and solve it. Your friends rely on you on their problems, and your shoulder for their crying. You are peaceful, and enjoy nature and freedom. You rarely get angry and hardly scream, which makes you good with kids. You seem to be in tune with the world and if anything goes wrong, you always bounce back.

So no one told you life was going to be this way...

I'm sure as you peruse through blogs today there will be a post on one of the biggest TV events last night, the Friends finale. I thought it was great. It ended as it should have, Rachel and Ross - together!

This show has been a great part of my life. I've watched it through college and only lately have I not been able to watch because of either class or work. We used to get together in the dorms and watch with our friends. Last night, I got to watch the finale with more friends at the neighborhood bar. I almost changed my mind about going to watch it because I was afraid I was going to ball, but I didn't. Had they ended with a retrospective and song, I probably would have. I almost cried when Rachel appeared at the door. I was telling a friend, they are each other's lobsters.

My friend asked who my favorite friend is. That would be Rachel, there is something spunky yet sassy about her. But it was hard just picking her. Every Friend had a quality that I loved which is why I loved the show. Friends went out well, and they will be missed.

"I'll be there for you...."

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!

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

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?
