The Grudge by Tool is one of the top studio rock drumming performances ever recorded. Here is the ever-baffling last 30 seconds of Danny Carey’s awesome drumming in The Grudge.

Yeah, at the top of the state capitol I totally leaned out over the rail to get this shot. I love it!
Time has just been flying by. As I pretty much say in every post, I’m been running running running, and its already been at least a week since my last post.
As of late, I haven’t really had to the desire to share my personal life on the internet. Its not that anything is wrong, its just I’ve been busy with other things, and I know, for the most part, most people don’t really care to read about my day-to-day random and useless crap. In the broad scheme of things, I realize the details of my life are quite insignificant, so I don’t find as much need or desire to record them for the world to see. What does everyone think?
On the other hand, I find it quite enjoyable to write. I would like to get into the habit of writing daily, about anything. A random thought, an event, world news, local news (though in significant), etc, and finding odd little “triggers” for writing.
Maybe I’ll get into this habit. Maybe not? We shall see.
Thanks. Comment 🙂
Here is a funny video I was shown today.

I took this when Amy and I went to the top of the Kansas Capitol back on Christmas break. I love getting shots like this…where you reach your hand out over a rail to get a cool shot. Let me know what you think! Thanks!
No organization= no motivation. Four day weekend = no motivation. At least for myself.
Yesterday I spent about 4 hours cleaning and rearranging my room. This included boxing up a bunch of junk, tossing piles of old school papers, sorting through old CDs, and shuffling my bed, drumset, dresser and entertainment center around the room all at once. Let me tell you, I slept gooooood last night.
So this morning I have continued my little rampage of organization and rearrangement, by moving my AP Physics junk into a new notebook (with pretty dividers!). I’ve also tried to catch up on my schoolwork, but a couple things are giving me a bit of trouble:
1. AP Physics – with a lab about electric field, reading from the book and questions to answer, my mind is going “ugh.” Usually I don’t have too much trouble with it all… I guess I’ll just have to grab my small bit of motivation and make the best of it where ever it arises before school in two days.
2. Model UN – My stupid resolution about establishing an international universal system of measurement got accepted for debate. That basically means I’ll have to make a speech in front of like 50-60 nerds, then answer at least a minute of their questioning. We’re having a practice session on Wednesday (2 days from now), so I need to get my speech and material all worked out. 🙁
And in other news!
1. Talent Show Prep THE TALENT SHOW IS THIS COMING SATURDAY, FEB 17 at 7.00p.m.!!!! I got back the information on the order of the show and lengths of acts, so I’ll let you in on a couple of secrets! I OPEN the show! That’s right, some good ‘ol drum banging to wake you up for the rest of the evenings talents. Also, they limited me to 3 minutes, even though I signed up for 5 :(.
2. Academic Pep Assembly Prep – Me being the computer nerd that I am have been selected to compile clips from various movies, to be shown at the academic pep assembly on Feb 21st. The theme is racing and cars and whatever, so The movies I have so far are Talledega Nights, Blues Brothers (for the car chase scenes), The Fast and Furious, and Speed Racer. If anyone has anymore movies I could borrow to add, that would be awesome! Also, what do you think are the best scenes from the aforementioned movies to make sure to include?
Input is always welcome. Thanks!

A nice close up of a cross at my church Grace Cathedral. Nice silver, with cool indentations (I used macro mode to capture that better), with some pretty reflaction (my new word for reflection action). Leave me a comment, let me know what you think about it and all. Thanks for check me out!
The past week or so has been full of interesting stuff. I requested (and received) a book from TSCPL calling Getting Things Done by David Allen. Yeah, its one of those get organized books! Ha, I already consider myself pretty dang organized, but could I ask…is it weird for me to enjoy reading about it and trying to pursue it more?
Along with GTD comes a need for something very handy to take a note of a thought or “to-do” on. Introducing the Hipster PDA! I’ve been carrying a little bundle of index cards in my back pocket this week, but haven’t really implemented it too much. I need to read farther into GTD.
So if you’re unorganized and have no money, get yourself a Hipster PDA. hehe.
