i'm going through...

a cd problem....i really need to buy a new cd...but what do i buy...i know there are several over the last few months that i've wanted but for the life of me i can't come up with them now...i don't really have the money for a new cd but i'm going to do it anyway.... : )

i just thought this was a funny picture : )

Tonight....Grandpa Griffith (again : )

VZD's show i believe starts at 10:00...maybe someone who reads this blog and knows whats going on will comment and let us know if i'm right and maybe even let us all know who the opening band is if there is one : )

things up tight teachers say

"i'm not a man, or a boy...i once was a girl and now i am a women. and its ms....to you!"

well alright : )

i must now go practice my piece for sunday with steve...we'll see how this goes....then off to teach...then off to play soccer...then, well there is no more then : ) but lucky for me i don't have to work tomorrow : )

i got a call from pats principal this morning...weird : )

how long has that damn energizer bunny been going...i watched a lot of tv tonight and saw the commercial and wanted to scream "GIVE IT UP ALREADY"!!!! maybe i did scream : )

halloween

good times...good times...

offertory

i finally picked my offertory piece for sunday...now i just have to learn it...nothing like waiting until the last minute (which is nothing new to me : )

shiny : )

practice went well and we are going to wichita a seven nation army couldn't hold us back....

does anyone have an extra laptop that they would like me to borrow until about June : )

good day

today was a good day...i had a total of four students all day, but what do you do? tomorrow is going to be good too...i just feel it...i have two new private students...YEA!!!! this is very good news....



i have a friend who is dating a girl 7 years younger than he is....i can't decide if that is weird or not...i've heard several people say "age is just a number"...but is it really...is 7 years to much...and then what if it was the girl who was 7 years older...would that make a difference....hum...just thinking so i'm writing....

out of gas and more weekend stories

i was going to the kc clifford show on friday and ran out of gas....Fortunately i was near a gas station and coasted in...i then processed to try to push the car by myself...*note...i can't push a car by myself*...i did move it though but not very far...someone did help me and i got gas....the kc clifford show was good....thanks to mike and ray for being there... : )

saturday...i went out with a friend and had a great time...we even stopped to visit another friend of ours about 2 o'clock in the morning...this made him very happy : )

i didn't get the job i wanted...as my friend theresa has told me there must be a reason that it didn't happen...i did talk to some people today about school and i think this is going to be good...and i now only need 24...yeah!!!!

if you missed the great grandpa griffith concert, you have another chance...friday at vzds : ) everyone should be there...

i'm totally loving coffee....

keep your calendars open

OCT 13 at Galileos....stringents debut at open mic night : )

stringent

we have started a rock string quartet....our first practice was this morning and it was awesome...we are going to start playing shows around town shortly...we have several beatles songs...jeff buckley...foo fighters...rolling stones...led zeppelin....and many more....this is going to be fun....

this is it for now : )

and there are still more : )

eventually i will put several pictures up but only when i have the time...so for now another gg pic : )

the grandpa griffith concert last night was awesome...i took tons of pictures and some of them will be posted in the next couple of days...but here is one of my favories...aaron what are you doing?????

new news

i just found out that there is another orchestra job that has just opened up in my district and i just got a call from the teacher i would be replacing for the year, she told me that i had been highly recommended and wanted to know if i would take her place...this school is awesome and would be an awesome job...now all i have to do is get the fine arts director to agree...pray that this works out : )

new schedule

i have a new schedule for my classes...with this i'm hoping to start letting the students play instruments next week...this is exciting for me...i've also got much smaller classes which will mean that i will be able to get more done and make sure all the students get individual attention...the only problem with this schedule is that i only get to see each students once a week...but i think this is going to work out much better....

drama

i really don't like drama...and i've gone a good few months with no real drama in my life until last night...i'm not going to go into what happened, but i am going to let you know that it never really puts me in a good mood when someone starts telling me what a horrible person i am...so enough of that... : )

tonight...yes, tonight....grandpa griffith at the fair....this is exciting stuff and everyone should be there...tomorrow (or probably even tonight) there will be pictures : )

change

i've changed some of my pictures...i have a new goal...i need pictures with all my friends to put on my blog...i've got a good start so don't be suprised if i want to take a picture with you.... : )

do wacka do

won a soccer game tonight....very exciting...5-4...against the number 1 team...it was a good game

i had a good day at school today...which is good...

band practice went well last night...we have written a good song...i'm excited to see where this goes and then see where we go from here...this is only the beginning... : )

i have filled out the fafsa forms...man, i had forgotten what a pain in the ass this is : ) but its way worth it...

a friend of mine won serenity tickets for tuesday night...three days before it opens...and i get to go with him...don't worry.. i'll go again with anyone that wants to see it on Friday, September 30th...

fingers

okay...i have been really good at saying the wrong things at the wrong time lately...it seems that nothing i say is working out well for me...this afternoon in my class, i said, use your "fingering fingers"....this is 6th grade and they started laughing really hard...6th grade, when i was in 6th grade i had no idea about "fingering"...it kind of made me sick...its possible that some of those kids have done more than i have...i'm sure i will come across stuff like this a lot when i start working in psychology....i won't be saying anything about fingering again (in class :)...

do you want to play a stringed instrument

or know someone who does...well do i know the person who can help you there : ) i'm looking for private students ( if you haven't guessed) and i thank all of you who are committed to helping me out...its nice to know that i have everyones support in my next stage of life...i have created a blog for my studio...jennsmusicstudio.blogspot.com : ) (creative i know)

Death Cab

Someday you will be loved

I once knew a girl
In the years of my youth
With eyes like the summer
All beauty and truth
In the morning I fled
Left a note and it read
Someday you will be loved.

I cannot pretend that I felt any regret
Cause each broken heart will eventually mend
As the blood runs red down the needle and thread
Someday you will be loved

You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved

You may feel alone when you're falling asleep
And everytime tears float down your cheeks
But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet
Someday you will be loved

You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved

You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved
Someday you will be loved

twue love

congratulations and i'm very happy for you guys : )

new hair

i've got a whole new look now : ) i hope it works curly....he straightened it and i'll never get it to do this but i like it....marias brother is awesome....when i get a good pic i will post it....i have to play a quartet job tonight with symphony people...that makes me nervous...they can be really hard core and i'm a laid back person....i checked into schools yesterday...one school i'll have to take the gre...the other i need about 15 hours of course work so we will see what works out..went and saw brothers grimm last night, it was a little on the slow side...but i did like the end....everyone should come to kaleo tomorrow night...mike and i will be rocking it hard (okay not exactly but it will be cool : )

school

i'm going to go see if i can get into the psychology department at one of the schools today...this is exciting stuff i tell you...why i'm there i'm going to drop off some flyers to my former cello teacher...maybe she can pass them around for me : ) i'm loving this weather, but in oklahoma there is always the possibility that tomorrow next week its back in the 100's...shiny had their first re-union practice last night, it went well i think...welcome to our new member cody... and joe plays a mean spoons...

i've been taking a lot of instrument pictures..hum...this one is on my lessons flyer...

recording

the recording went well and it was a lot of fun...i was worried that i would suck because i was up until 4:00 this morning but it went well...and there is a possiblity that it will be on a tv commerical here in the next few months...i'll let you know if i hear it...

i made up a flyer for private lessons...i've made copies and the next step is to send them to all the schools and music places around here...maybe by Christmas i'll be working for myself...

no work for you....

i'm not going to work tomorrow...instead, i'm going to make more in two hours then i would all day at school....i'm going to the recording studio to record some song for the hurricane victims (i'm really not sure, they call, i play : )

i'm looking for private students and a part time job....if anyone knows of any please keep me in mind...i'm taking off all day tomorrow and i plan on making flyers and start mailing them to schools and instrument shops...i need about 30 students which would put me working about 15 hours a week...i have been told that i can charge more and people will pay...okay, whatever....i think i'm going to put an ad in the gazette too....anyway...

blogger has some new cool changes...well, i don't actually know if they are cool, but they look like they could be cool....

i don't understand....

there is a lot i don't understand...but tonight i re-learned what could be (i say could be because 27 years down the line something else could appear) the story of adam and eve...this is very interesting to me because i've grown up knowing it one way and believing that that is the right way...when in all actuality it doesn't make any kind of sense the way i was always taught...what is even more messed up is that we are still teaching our kids to believe the stories the way they have always been told...when you take it and look at it in a deeper perspective it clears up things but it also causes questions...maybe we don't teach our kids this because we believe they won't be able to understand....or telling them that it could have happened several ways would confuse them...or maybe we don't want kids asking question we ourselves cant answer....but i'm just thinking that it would make them better people in the long run, who would be able to think for themselves...rather than just believing what was force feed to them....(ramble, ramble, ramble)

i found out today that i may be able to start my psychology masters as early as next semester...i thought i was going to have to take an extra 18 semester hours of psychology classes but i may be able to work around that....i'm going to talk to someone very soon about that one...

i'm getting my hair done on friday and i'm very excited...i need a hair change, changing your hair just makes you feel like a whole new person and i'm ready for something fun...

for the first time...

since i started this year i feel organized...i don't know how long it will last because what i've come up with won't work for everyone...but for now i can feel like i'm accomplishing something....i've put in a few calls to schools and am just waiting on some return calls...but i will probably call them on Wednesday if i don't hear anything...the more and more i think about going back to school and getting this new degree, the more and more i think that is the right decision....

can anyone guess what i did today : )

grandpa griffith

are you truly excited about the new grandpa griffith album...well i know i am...and now on their website you can listens to part of 4 songs...including something that sounds very tuba like : ) very nice guys, i'm excited to hear the whole thing...and also for everyones listening enjoyment they are headlining the state fair on Thursday, September 22....

school

i've decided that i'm going back to school....don't know where yet...and i've decided that i'm going to go into psychology, this is something that i've been toying with for a while and steve green kind of gave me the inspiration...when i know more, i'll let you know : )

i was talking to a friend tonight about men and women....about how women are becoming more independent, how we are trying to take on the "roles" of men and taking on to much...how men are now kind of losing their "roles", such as providing for a family....are men intimidated by this "independent" women....i've decide that society has created this need for women to go out and do it all, but i don't think its a good thing...i think we were created to feed off of each other...work as a team, all have our own fortes to make life work....we need the nurturer and we need the bread winners...never in our lives (i believe) will women and men be "equal", meaning that we can all do the exact same things with the same ability (repetitive i know : ).... and i don't think it should ever be that way...i'm not saying that women should stay in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant, or that men should be workaholics to make a great home for his wife and family....maybe i'm saying that women need to stop focusing on competing with men and start focusing on what we are good at...women are better at certain things than men and men are better than women at certain things and i say deal with it : ) i have no idea why i went off on this....(and all of this coming for a girl whose grandmother said "you will never get married because you are to independent". you got to love my grandma : )
