Wowzors! Summer is all over. It was short, but boring, eventful, but boring, awesome, but boring. haha. Here’s how it panned out (I probably mentioned some of this in previous posts)
1. Went to church camp. Really awesome
2. Practiced and played drums TONS. Probably about 2-3 hours a day. And DON’T look at me like I’m crazy or a workoholic. I ENJOY playing my instrument. Many seem to not understand this concept…but hey it’s what I be doin yo.
3. Worked on the cpu A LOT. Currently I have my site where I want it. Simple but cool. Spent more time on Cole’s Forums than I should’ve. Spent not enough time on the Pearl Drummers Foum. haha. I also pursued a free Napster trial and a way to get around the file protection…lets just say I’m not stealing once byte of music. 🙂
4. Went to Columbia, MO for a drum corps show and the longest bike ride of my life – 20 miles. haha Not much but it was big for me. Hope to do more.
5. Picked up that thing called a guitar again. I posted some products of my work…though it wasn’t much. I’m going to post a new one after this post. Why? Becuase that makes a bit of sense…not really.
6. Went to Missionpalooza. Best mission/youth event everrrr. Dude awesome.
7. Got a new desk and chair for my room. Finally, no more neck and shoulder pain. Just comfort and even more computer!!!! ahhH!!!
8. Spent time with various friends.
9. Spent time with Amy. We did lots of stuff. Went to Lawrence, swimming, she came and sang at our church’s 4th of July celebration. Good stuff 🙂
10. Attended marching band marathons. I was very excited for it, and it was worth being excited for. This will be a good year for the Marching Thunderbird(s). Along in this category I create a THUNDERCUSSION WEBSITE!
11. I hope I’m not forgetting anything.
Anyways I’m really excited for this school year. I love school. Again, thats another one of those controversial statements. Well you know what? I love school. Because I like learning, and being at school with all my friends, etc, etc. I’m awaiting getting to know the new building, library, and all the other stuff the bond issue covered! yeah!
So good night all, on this last day of summer. It has been good. It has been good.
COMMENT ME NIZZOW. I’m missing the feedback I used to get. I’m so mizzzundastooodd waaaahhhh.
😉
Just for that last emo sentence, you deserve a comment.
…
Brilliant, man.
of course you’re misunderstood when you spell that word with three z’s. 🙂
The only reason I’m excited about school is because of Thundercussion and other percussion stuff like symphonic band (and friends). Other than that, it’s all homework and getting up early for me. But I know I have to learn.
“I’m so mizzzundeastooodd waaaahhh.”
Hm, now where have I heard that before?
lol
This is kind of random, but I’ll make it tie in by mentioning school. Our ultimate goal in life, is death. Go with me on this: why do we go to elementary school? To prepare for middle school. Why middle school? To prepare for high school. Why high school? To prepare for college. Why college? To prepare for the real world. Then what? We work. For what? Retirement. Then we retire. For what? To have a little fun/relaxation before we die. Then we die. So, was it all worth it? We work our entire lives, gaining knowledge, experience, money. But for what? Once we die, none of it matters anymore. You can gain all the knowledge in the world, have more experiences than anyone else, and be the richest person alive. But once you’re dead, none of it matters. But what about the legacy/impact you leave behind? If it helps other people have better lives, it was worth it, right? But those people will die, and then it won’t matter. It’s a continuous cycle with no apparent purpose or end. Moreover, why should we try to leave behind a legacy? What reward is there? Who’s there to see/commend what we do, and why should we seek their approval? Is it society? Who? No one? Then why bother? In the end, the same thing ultimately happens; death. So why are we even living? Merely to exist in the turmoil and suffering this life so abundantly provides? Why do we value life so incredibely much? What is life rather than growing and surviving as long as we can, only to still die in the end? Life is often seen as “it”. But in reality, “it” is death, and life is only a prelude thereof. Some people say this life is all there is. If that’s true, I say death is all there is. Well, that’s my random semi-deep thought, written from a purely atheist (I know/have answers to everything I said, but some don’t and would deny my answers as true, so…) perspective for the day. Sorry if I bored you.
You didn’t bore me. Life here on Earth does SEEM kind of pointless. I mean, we really do just work for the next thing, eventually death. But it’s not pointless. There’s no way we came from some slime 5 billion years ago, and life is way too complicated and interesting to pointless. There MUST be some higher power, like God, watching over us. I think he created us to have a point; to seek him and do good in life and then come join him in Heaven. Some people enjoy life just to get an education, get a good job, raise a family, retire, and die. Me, I think I’ll just enjoy life as it comes, and enjoy Heaven even more.
Yes. My thoughts exactly. However, I like to put myself in the mindset of an atheist to see how I would respond to the questions I pose to myself as a follower of Christ, and my previous post is the sort of thing that comes as a result thereof. I wish someone who doesn’t know God could give me their answer, or whether or not they think there is an answer.
Ok, so your not an atheist. You sure did a good job of making yourself sound like one.
lol! That’s funny.
