Heh, everytime I write, it’s kind of going against my resolution of staying away from the computer as much as possible…though I could consider blogging a necessity. 
On New Years Day, right after I posted here, I took a 5 mile bike ride! Unbeleivable for my lazy self, I know! Also, I offered to clean my mom’s car, as a Christmas present, becuase it was insanely dirty. For some reason I get A LOT of enjoyment out of cleaning cars…? Just one of my ‘things’ I guess. After that I helped my brother with his side job…but umm, He told me not to tell anyone what it is, becuase he thinks it’s a sucky job. It does make him $40 everytime he does it though!
Mostly Monday was a slip against my resolution, becuase I spent half the day not doing anything, wasting time. But in the afternoon I made up for it, by going down to the church to make a ton of programs for Eagle Ceremony happening this coming Sunday. It’s a lot of work, copying like 200 sheets, folding them all in half, and stapling them together.
Tuesday (yesterday) was very busy. The first part of the day, I worked on getting Linux on my laptop (check out my other blog). After that I headed to Manning Music to buy some timpani mallets, then I went to Youth Symphony. It was pretty fun. Sometimes it’s absolutely unbearable, like when the director isn’t in a very good mood. But mostly it’s alright, and sometimes it’s great! After two hours of rehersal there, I ran out to the school, for a drumline practice. It was pretty nice to see everyone again, even though many of them don’t like me very much. I guess I just needed a dose of glares to have some fun? I don’t know. But, the people that I like, and are kind of friends…we were all in funny moods, and we had some good times working for the Spirit Night show, which by the way:
SPIRIT NIGHT IS FRIDAY. COME SEE THE DRUMLINE DURING THE BASKETBALL GAME HALFTIME!!! SHHS!!!!! ROCK OUT!
After drumline last night, I stuck around with my buddies Amy and Janae, to see the rest of the basketball game. That was totally fun. Though, I’m hoping Janae is okay, becuase she like tripped up the gym stairs, and hurt her ankle pretty bad. 
This morning, I’ve rocked out on the drums, and am getting ready to go to a friend get-together, which should be awesome!!! Can’t wait!

YAY DAVID FOR BIKE RIDING!!!
Oh, my dad’s family went crazy when I asked for one pair of timpani mallets….I don’t know if they’re good or not, but I have a pair you can buy discount if you want. Vic Firth American Custom T6 General. Here’s what they have to say: Larger and heavier than a T1. Produces an enormous sound. Head = 1 3/4″, L = 14 3/4″ Like I said, no idea if they’re any good, but they’re new, never used, and I still have the bag. They’re HUGE…..

I don’t quite understand what’s so terrible about wasting time. Personally, I find that I enjoy myself most when I am doing absolutely nothing productive. That makes me wonder, is time really wasted if you enjoyed doing so? Being happy is actually good for your health, so if you waste time, and enjoy it, it’s not really wasting time at all. On the contrary, if it helps out your health, it could, in turn, lengthen your life, ultimately giving you even more time. Just a thought. That said, I do however greatly admire your effort to take more initiative in life.
