: ( no one probably really cares but me...but grandaddy is going to be no longer...they have a new album coming out May 9th then they are done... : (



this feels to me like the broncos losing felt to sweet t!!!

I'm sure no one really cares about my childhood pictures but i was helping my sister yesterday and we came across these and it brought back memories...kind of...a lot of them i don't actually remember but some of them i do...and i like the fact that my sister, brother and i took so many pictures together...i wish we had more now...and fyi..these are pictures of pictures, eventually i'll scan them and put them on a disk but they needed to be seen now!

my brother wore and eye patch when he was young because he had a lazy eye!!

yes...i am wear a softball mitt on my head!!

this is my favorite pic of me and my sister!!

89ers day!!

i bet no one thought they would see me in a cheerleading outfit...and trust me you will never again!

See...superhero has been in my blood for a while...all though i'm not sure what i'm the superhero of!! my sister has always been the ham of the family!

cabbage patch!! ahhhh..isn't my brother cute!! and my sister was really cute too!! although she thinks she looked like chucky...but she didn't!!

okay...i was pretty cute too...i'm not sure what happened...my sister and i discussed that i went through the longest fugly stage of anyone in the world...all the way from middle school to about the 2nd year of college!!!

sushi please!

this is my favorite one of the three of us!!

okay, i'm done for now...i was only going to put a few up and then once i got started i couldn't stop...sorry!! : )

SPURS WIN!!!!

ended up going to the spurs hornets game last night...pretty fun! the spurs pretty much killed the hornets...part of me felt a little bad for cheers for the spurs over the hornets but not to bad : )

really nothing else has been going on....i'm running out of room in my house!! i'm half way looking for a new place to live. only half way because i'd like to stay in this area and with my landlord...we'll see what happens!

something happened to firefox yesterday and it lost all of my settings and my bookmarks and everything...i had to start from scratch!! has anyone ever done that, it sucks because everything i've saved in the last year is gone...o'well, i'm over it!

i love this video...it makes me laugh every single time i see it...kicked in the penis!!
i tried to just put it on my site but it didn't work...

Video and Code Provided by BoFunk.com

edit> well, i guess it did work..i went to my site a minute ago and realized that the video was playing about 5 times...sorry about that!!!! it is now fixed and you can watch the video and it can make you laugh without you being totally annoyed : )

wow anonomous...you don't know anything about my teaching situation...or anything about what this year has been like...i really like teaching and i'm good at it....every school is different about what you can and can't do with them...maybe you are a teacher in a rich school where the kids want to learn and catch on to everything quickly and you see them everyday and you are given all the supplies you need and their parents care...but not all schools are like that and sometimes as a teacher you have to adapt to your school and do what is best for the students...which is what i'm doing....and i believe teaching is not only about teaching the kids the "3 R's" but also to teach them about how to be better people that can get along in society and with each other...thanks for you comments but don't assume things please....

Regrets....i don't think i have any now...but sometimes i wonder about things...like if i don't do that now will i regret it later....hum...we'll see...

now...thank you to everyone that came out to the stringents show....i had a lot of fun and i think it went really well...we did get asked by the ladies in corsets to play a show in corsets....i've never worn one myself but i could guess that its going to be hard to play in...but we are going to do it, cafe novas i think is the name of the place...not really sure when though....

it truly does mean a lot to me to see my friends in the audience...you just know that they care... : )

my poor puppy needs a hair cut...must do that soon : )

I haven't really been blogging much these days...not sure why, i guess i just don't really have anything to say...my life is not exciting, i know as if it ever was....

I think i decided how to teach the rest of the year without my students getting bored and without me going crazy....it took long enough thats for sure...but i had to give up on teaching them to read notes....i only see them once a week and its hard to get everything done, so something had to go...i know what you are thinking...but they have to read notes...what kind of teacher are you...well, you come spend a day in my classroom and see what you think...i've decided that getting to know my kids and getting and insight into their lives is way more hopeful to them at this point....i've had several classes in the last few weeks that only one student will show up...we sit there and talk for most of the class but i think these kids need to see that someone cares about what is happening in their lives and let me tell you....what is happening should not happen to anyone...let alone kids of their age...

I think i'm dying...okay probably not but i think i pulled the biggest muscle you can pull in the leg tonight at soccer...man, it really hurts...and thats the last thing we need... more girl injuries...with theresas knee and beths broken foot...man...i'm sure i'll get better if i just let it sit for a couple of day and take some really strong drugs...but we did win our game 10-2...and i did score a goal...it only took my 5 shots on goal this time : ) ah...what do you do : ) at least one made it in...

i think i'm finally giving in to the dark side and joining the music union...according to people i will get several more gigs which would be great...more money....more bills paid...etc...so now its time for me to take strong pain relief medication and go to bed....good night...may all your dreams be filled with sugar plum fairies...

I know what big david hasselhoff fans everyone that reads this blog is...so heres and article from No Rock and Roll Fun that you might enjoy : )

HASSELHOFF MARRIAGE OFF
There are some people (well, there's one person) who believes that David Hasselhoff is the greatest undiscovered music talent in the world, so maybe the end of his marriage to Pamela Bach will give him time to concentrate on making more of the sweet sweet music which caused the Berlin Wall to fall. Or maybe he'll just go off the rails some more.

I have started work on my very own song...i like it for now..tomorrow morning i may not like it though. i've recorded 3 cello lines and 3 vocal lines...yes i even have lyrics...and you know, right now i'm liking them a lot....again, all of this could change when i wake up and am hearing it for the first time without being absorbed in it...right now the song is called...i thought...things change though : ) i need to get a new mic...actually i have a good mic i just need to figure out how to get it to hook up to my computer...that would help...there is a lot of noise in the recording and i think it would sound much better without it...okay, i know it would sound much better without it : ) i did figure out how to convert to mp3's though...not bad for a nights work.... i'm tired and need to go to bed...this has been a first on a friday night for me...

what is this saying? : )

I love performing...i would love to perform all the time...i guess this is why i got a performance degree after all...i need to spend more time practicing and writing...i really have a lot of ideas running through my head that never come out...and i think they would be really cool...i sometime let people discourage me from writing...but no long...i'm just going to do it...like it or not (really that was more for my benefit then yours : ).... i've been listening to a chick i found out of canada named jorane... i bought her cd off i-tunes for christmas...i think its really cool...

so i've been blogging for almost a year now...i thank all of my loyal readers for putting up with my nonsense...today i went through the last year...its weird to go back and read what happened...a lot of it feels like it was 5-10 years ago and then there are some events that feel like it was yesterday.....its also kind of interesting to see all of the changes i've been through...and see how i made it through alive : ) anyway a little reflection...

tomorrow is wednesday...as most people know : ) i hate wednesdays...i need to come up with something to syke myself out...something that will help me get through the first part of my day without going insane...sometimes its good to play mind games with yourself : )

everyone needs to come to the kaleo service at exactly 6:00 on sunday....the stringents are going to be there and we would like to have people to play for....we would love you forever and ever amen...

i don't know about anyone else but i'm getting more and more excited about the upcoming grandpa griffith album...if you haven't heard the update go to mikes page....very very cool....

i hate internet explorer...i know i'm sounding like ryan here but damn it sucks....i'm having to use it because firefox keeps doing something weird to my blog...(which would make a logical person think that i should hate firefox, but no : )...something that i could do on firefox is taking me twice as long on internet explorer....blah...

alright i should try to sleep tonight...i haven't been doing a lot of that lately and its starting to get to me...

"Meet your new friend: Magic Sproutz! He needs your love and care to grow. In return he will reveal your fortune after about a week!"

this was one of my awesome stocking stuffers : ) (i'm serious i really like it) in about a week we should all know what this little plant has to say : )

you had your chance : )

Yet again grandpa griffith rocked the house...and yet again i have pictures to prove it...you can check some of them out if you click the link to the right under grandpa griffith pics (i am creative : )...or you can just click the link i just provided you : )

good times were had : )

and yet again, i took more pictures than i didn't so...i may be posting many more as the days to come so keep checking...

Some sweater party pics...they have been sitting in my camera too long...and i have to make room for the new pictures i will taking tomorrow...at GRANDPA GRIFFITH : )....i know everyone is excited...i hear that there are new songs that will be performed tomorrow that we haven't heard...I know this stuff because i'm the number one groupie : )

About half of Theresas and my predictions for last year came true...not bad...i think i'm going to see if i can get closer to all : ) of course they will be written down and will not be told to anyone until the time is right : )

I also wrote down the best of 2005 according to me : )
best cd of the year...illinois, sufjan stevens
best concert i went to...this was a toss up between sufjan stevens and iron and wine (wilco was really awesome too....there were so many concerts i went to this year i can't remember all of them...and i'm not sure if i saw badly drawn boy in 2005 or 2004 ?)
best song ....first day of my life, bright eyes
best things that happened to me....i got my teeth fixed (finally) and therapy

hopefully i can start the new year off seeing sigur ros...i've already seen them once and they are amazing...really really amazing...we'll see what happens : )
