This is from a few days ago...

OK….so I know it seems like I’ve abandoned you, but it’s not true. My borrowed internet went down about a week ago, so I officially ordered my own and I had to wait for it to get here…yaddah yaddah yaddah…so now I’m back and once again connected to the rest of the world. THANK GOD! It was drivin me crazy. But oh my word has a lot happened. There was a meeting that Relevant held to brainstorm about how to handle the release of the new record and promotions and stuff….but it evolved into brainstorming on how and what to do ‘Citywide’ – it’s a working title. It this big city unifying concert type thing that we want to put up next year. It will bring (or try to bring) a bunch of the area churches together to promote supporting the city. There will be booths for different ministries from the area where people can sign up to help…they’ll be different ‘acts’ and a speaker or two. It should be quite fantastic….we have a few ideas as to where to have it…One of which is in the Arena (or in the parking lot of the arena – I don’t remember which it is right now) and one is in the square where they have Thursday in the Square during the summer. And I promised that the record would show that Karl does not like the idea of tagging onto Thursday in the Square…he thinks it’s boring and not different enough for the event to stand out or stand on its own. I happen to agree. I really like the idea of having it at the arena. So I’ve been working on stuff for that for the last few days. Finding contact info, charities, ministries…all that fun stuff.
What else….oh this is fun….Mom got robbed. Crazy huh? Here’s the kicker…we’re pretty sure it was Rich. Only a few key things were taken and it was stuff that only we knew where it was. Granted under the bed isn’t all that unique of a hiding place….it was because of the stuff he took too. Just jewelry, Mom’s camera – which was right next to some jewelry – and her laptop, cause that was out in the open on the table. There was plenty of other things that are of value in that house that didn’t get taken. The worst part was, he got Daddy’s wedding band. When I found that out I was ready to cut the jerk. Lucky for him, the inspector handling the case talked Mom into going to the pawn shops like I suggested…and we actually found some of our stuff at one place…INCLUDING Daddy’s wedding band! We ended up finding all the expensive stuff – except the laptop – everything else can be replace. I just feel bad for Mom. Her home has been violated. I felt bad when I had to leave to come back to Buffalo…but I couldn’t stay forever. I was there for the tough stuff…and that’s all I could do.

Tomorrow I sing with the worship team, so that should be fun. I do miss that. And then I have to call Guitar Center and find out when they want me to come in to fill out the paperwork – cause I got me a job! That’s right…it’s very exciting. I also have a mini interview with Ben for an administrative position at his company…so I don’t know how many hours he needs…but if I can do both I will. But we’ll see. Cause I don’t know how many hours Guitar Center is going to give me either. It should be an interesting day tomorrow too. I have a lot to do. I have to make all the pic CDs that I was supposed to give people last semester…cause I’m driving down to Oneonta for Mini’s 21st birthday. She’s very excited. I am too cause I’ll get to see Toast and the 3 of us can all celebrate our birthdays together. It should be a great couple of days. Cause I’ll do that then drive back and start work. I like it. Anyhoo I’m tired and I need to paint my nails.


Oh yeah song for the day...
Rocksteadyby Marc Broussard....

I think I feel like sleepin in
I won't woke up 'til Friday night
The moment the weekend begins
I'm packing up my ride and I'm leaving

When I get there
You better be ready to rocksteady

I think I feel like sleepin in
Last night was crazy outta sight
After my rest the fun begins
I'm packing up my ride and I'm leaving
Headed straight towards your door

First the song begins
You start movin' and I get caught up in the rhythm of your hips
And I just can't wait to take this party home

When we get there
You better be ready to rocksteady

I'll post a recent blog tomorrow.....

I DON"T WANNA!

Can I just say that I hate cleaning. It take me forever to actually get started. I will do just about anything before I clean. It's ridiculous. When I'm with the band, I start cleaning up after them like it's second nature, but cleaning up after myself.....I just don't wanna do it. Maybe I'm lazy....yeah I am lazy....that must be it.

Oye.

So last night was the 'brainstorm' meeting for Relevant. It went really well. I think we came up with a good plan. All we need to do is put it into action - and we have about a year or so from the anticipate date of 'the event' that is yet to be named. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and once again I think I'll be making things up as I go along. But I'll have help. We have a good team of people behind us...it should be a really great thing.

Last night was also the Getting To Know You party back in Oneonta. Those parties are always a grand ole time. I got 4 phone calls from that party....3 of which stated that I should be there and that I am loved and missed. The fourth call was from Teddy and he just hung up when he should have left a voicemail. I must admit it is nice to be missed like that. You know when you say you miss people how sometimes you mean it more than others. There's always the question of how do you show someon you miss them? How do you make it more than just words? I don't really have the answers to those questions...but everyone back in Oneonta knows how to make a girl feel loved and missed. And as great as it is to feel like that it does make it harder to be away from all of them. But like Karl says..."I belong to Buffalo now."

Anyhoo....todays song...

Send Me A Song:

Take the wave now and know that you're free
Turn your back the land, face the sea
Face the wind now, so wild and so strong
When you think of me, wave to me and send me song

Don't look back when you reach the new shore
Don't forget what you're leaving me for
Don't forget when you're missing me so
Love must never hold, never hold tight, but let go

Oh, the nights will be long when I'm not in your arms
But I'll be in this song that you sing to me
Across the sea, somehow, someday You will be far away, so far from me
And maybe someday I will follow you in all you do
'Til then, send me a song

When the sun sets the water on fire
When the wind swells the sails of your hire
Let the call of the bird on the wind Calm your sadness and lonliness
And then start to sing to me
I will sing to you If you promise to send me a song

I walk by the shore and I hear
Hear your song come so faint and so clear
And I catch it, a breath on the wind
And I smile and I sing you a song
I will send you a song
I will sing you a song
I will sing to you
If you promise to send me a song


PS...I still don't want to clean.

Oh hum day

So I've decided that every entry from now on will have a theme song. Now it may have to do with whatever it is I'm writing about, or it could be my personal theme song for the day. I think it's fitting since I have a song in my head at any given point in the day.

Anyhoo....what's new in my world....wow, there is pretty much nothing new. I got a parking ticket - again....bet you couldn't have guessed that from my last post. I think I officially lead a pretty mundane life. Things could get more interesting once I get a job, but that has yet to happen. Stupid places of emplyment. There was supposed to be a band board meeting tonight, but no one showed except for Matt and I. He thinks that people may have gotten confused because we have another meeting tomorrow, but that was to deal with the release of the new record......I don't see how there could be confusion. Everyone was given both dates and the meeting times and locations. How that would translate into there is only one meeting on Friday I dunno. But one thing I have learned in my life is to never underestimate the stupidity of people. Not that the board members are stupid, they're far from it actually....but everyone has their blonde moments.

To start off the song of the day, I will post the lyrics from my MySpace profile song:

Be Be Your Love
by Rachael Yamagata

If I could take you away
Pretend I was queen
What would you say
Would you think I'm unreal
'Cause everybody's got their way I should feel

Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real
Want to be your everything

Everything...

Everything's falling, and I am included in that
Oh, how I try to be just okay
Yeah, but all I ever really wanted
Was a little piece of you

And everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real

Everything will be alright
If you just stay the night

Please, sir, don't you walk away, don't you walk away, don't you walk away
Please, sir, don't you walk away, don't you walk away, don't you walk away

And everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real

And everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real
I want to be your love, love, love

It's my party and I'll park where I want to

Can someone please explain to me why there is such a thing as a parking ticket? I have come to mindset that they are stupid and should never have existed in the first place.

Baby you lost me at carrots....

I'm sitting here eating apple sauce out of the jar. I thought you should know. Sadly I don't have much to say that is even remotely entertaining. The job hunt sucks hard core....so I think I've come up with a new rule for life.

Don't get excited about a job, an do not get my hopes up about a job.

I've done both of those things and both times the job fell through for whatever reason. So I'm done with that.

SOMEBODY GIVE ME A STINKIN JOB.

Anyhoo...things otherwise are good. A bit frustrating...some of you fabulous readers may know why, some of you never will.......and let me tell you it sucks to be you. HA! Not really, but I felt like it was appropriate.

Hopefully something exciting will happen soon so I have a reason to update.

Tata For Now!

Woot

I just got back from 'The Reign of Kindo' CD release party. Yep that's right - I'm in with the band. lol. Not so much that I was on the guest list, but enough that I had personal invite from the bass player. Really I'm just an unimportant grunt....but you know me, always trying to make myself feel better. It was a great show. The guys sounded suuuuuper.....due in part to the Grand Supreme Master of Sound....but the've got skills. It really was great, I'm looking forward to the release of the full length album that's expected in March.

Long story short.....CHECK OUT THE REIGN OF KINDO!!!

Mini rant

One of the saddest things I've come to learn is when someone you know and care about is not the person you thought they were. It kindda breaks your heart. It leaves you wondering if you ever really knew them. But the worst part of it all.....is when all the memories you had with that person seem tainted. Did they have some twisted goal in mind, or were the moments genuine? I don't know how to react to this. It's all very strange. And then there's the time that someone doesn't live up to their own expectations. Hours of conversations about something where a decision was made, and then they back out on the decision they made. And it was a good solid decision. Why? Why would you do that? Just for comforts sake, when you know full well it's not the right thing for you?

Gah.

If you can't tell I'm a bit exasperated.
