some exciting news, for me at least:

were starting a band-ish thing. me (guitar, bass), andrew (guitar), and conner (piano, keyborad drums, the real talent. ). i think were all gonna sing, its should be fun. we dont have a name, so if anyone has any ideas? the 'band' might shoot em down, but worth a shot. cause all our ideas are stupid.

also, does anyone like camping? i love it. infact, i dont see whats not to like; a nice fire, a tent, cool breeze, gets dark in the 'wilderness', some nice stars, hot dogs, i dig it all.

a bunch of us are tryin to plan a camping trip to this place called 'enchanted rock.' its this massive granite mound, ya climb it, go in some caves, play in a nice river, it should be wonderful. its been raining alot tho, so hopefully it will go away, and come again another... weekend.

thumbs up.

im soo excited for everyone going to arkansas camp, and im not even going. but i hope everyone has a great time, and next year i think i'm gonna go. lord willing. ok, so i read eric's poetry/lyrics that he posted, (by the way, awesome!), and i thought maybe i'd post some of mine..ack. here goes..its long..watch out.

"May the 8th"

A lazy rainy day,
down at the park,
we took a quiet path,
we held hands and laughed.

We jumped on some rocks,
to avoid killing flowers,
do flowers just die?
sigh, they just sleep

We ran to a blanket of reds and whites,
holding you tight,
and then, he re-enters the world

We were balanced on this one rock,
covered with green moss,
we breathed in the same air,
i smelt fear in your hair.

Call me your scorpian!

I can't describe it,
but i'll try with a picture,
if you were a picture,
i'd paint you a tiny white flower.

i will keep it always.

We pulled up to my home,
we sat still and alone.
I walked to the door,
smiled and turned my head.

just call me your scorpian.

I can't describe it,
but i'll try with a picture,
if you were a picture,
i'd paint you a tiny white flower.

i will keep it always.

So a new day,
and nothing has changed,
a few more hellos,
and more butterflies then before.

Summer's our chance,
brilliantly dancing,
flood of emotion.

I'll teach you guitar,
and you'll teach me the keys,
you'll be with him,
can't we do it just as friends.

In the end, we turn out just as friends.

i'll flash a smile,
so you won't feel guilt,
so you wont't see,
what i feel inside.

I can't describe it,
but i'll try with a picture,
if you were a picture,
i'd paint you a tiny white flower.

i will keep it always close to my heart.

i almost cried,
when you kissed me goodbye,
couldnt you see it in my eyes.

well, its late. church is tomorrow. so i'm goin to bed early. g'night. thumbs up.

today, was long. woke up, 730, went to work..opened the pro shop, made the stinkin tea, cut the wretched lemons..and just took all phone calls. then comes 10ish, time to teach, teach till 12, time for pool. it starts pouring down rain. wierd for san antonio. it rained for a good 3 hours. so, we play ping pong, monopoly, checkers (some of these kids are surprisingly good, i got owned). so 3 o'clock rolls around time for kids to leave. if only that was the end. 3, more pro shop. more phone calls,
"sellin this and selling those, sodas, cars and phones, i mean whats the dealio." -onelinedrawing-

it just fit, so really sellin things, then it started raining again. 'big rain, small rain, slant rain, it even rained sideways.' i think forest gump? now, 530, time to close. i vacum, clean, finish bills, put up golf carts, lock the courts...etc. i finished at 630. if your counting, thats like 10-11 hours, i wanna die. but..just for a couple hours. so basically sleep.

so now that you know my life's story. did anyone see the rangers play the other day? 18 innings of hardcore baseball. i know a hand fool of you guys are astros fans. rangers won today against them. they don't do that often, therefore i get to brag.

more sports, has anyone been watching wimbeldon? the greatest tennis tournament in the world. you should watch it.

but for now, time for star wars, and cookies, on a friday night. yes, im the coolest, theres no question. bye

ok, so it rained ever so slightly for about 10 mins this afternoon. it was just so nice, and it reminded me of some very wonderful things. but..to 'celibrate' the rain, we'll play a game, with songs/lyrics. RAIN..raining, rained..will be the word, any form or fashion, and just put the phrase in the song with rain in it. i'll start.


Waiting for the rain to stop.
Destination: beautiful.
Seems that I'm still waiting for the sun.

i have just returned from the movie theaters, and felt compelled to write a little somin. i went to see The day after tomorrow with ole andrew (who now drives), and austin 'the auto' crocker, im sure you all know the kid. it was a fairly entertaing movie. we laughed a lot, even tho it wasnt a funny movie. it was nice. go see it, not that its spectacular, but its fairly exciting.

the other day, andrew got his lisence, no biggy, he's only 18. anyways, we ran our first erran the other day, most exciting. to the post office. absolutely thrilling..not. andrew's already regretting the whole liscene thing. naw, its fun since we get to go places more freely now. so before the movies, we hit up starbucks. man, gotta love it. like mcdondalds but slighty better. i highly recommend white mocha or carmal mochiato (sp?)
brilliant.

so i was wondering how long it would take me to post some sort of lyrics/poetry on here, since my real life is fairly uneventful. i presume next post will contain something lyrical since i love it and all, and that means i wont have to write nonense. it'll be a nice poem.

speakin of real life. today at work, incase you unaware, i work at a country club teaching tennis to higly rich and fairly snobbish kids. not all are bad, infact i love most of em. but today was terrible. it was the first bad day all summer, kinda a bummer. these kids were insane, completly uncontrolable. at one point, they began attack me with ice water, sounds fun..not really. when you..(me) has one cup to throw, and theres 12 of them. its lousy. i even tried threats...laff. me threaten little kids, i make em run, but apparently they like runnin, and amazing they like push ups. whats the world coming to. something that makes me sad (i said i would keep these commits to a minimum) but, these 9 year old kids are watchin shows like south park, family guy, and adult swim. i mean come on, i watched power rangers till 8th grade. then they kicked out the green ranger or somin uncool, and that was it!

im terribly sorry for the length of this post, its utterly long compared to my first one. i applaued anyone who's still reading. i hope next post isnt as completly lousy or pathetic as this one. i really should sleep, i have work tomorrow at 8 in the morning. i start workin in the pro shop, takin phone calls, selling stuff, makin ice tea for all the rich members. definetly not as exciting as teachin outside, but'll give other folks a break and i'll get some more hours. take care. g'night, i suppose thats pointless, since everyone is already sleeping..bye.

thumbs up.
