I'm switching to WordPress. My new blog can be found at http://geezusfreeek.wordpress.com/. WordPress is very very very nice and has so many features over LiveJournal. That's why I'm switching. I have seen the light. You guys should do the same! :)
Also, Sarah, this might be a good place for you to post some of your artwork. It is very professional and has features that would be nice for this. |

My DeviantArt account is finally starting to looks slightly less amateurish. Yay. |
I've had a really good break so far. Waaay too much happened to say here. I went to Kentucky and met some of Sarah's extended family, then stayed with her in Tennessee for a couple days, then came back to Huntsville with her where she stayed for a couple days and met some of my extended family. She left Christmas Eve night. I had a good Christmas yesterday with an entertaining demonstration of a 40 or 50 year old vacuum that my uncle restored for my grandma using parts from 96 vacuums taking him around 10 years to make. Very neat.
My dad walked into my room this morning. He asked if I was done ripping his Santana CD, which was the case, so I grabbed it off my desk and handed it to him. I was internally a little aggravated because he had been coming up the stairs often today and disturbing me, one time being to show me some Santana, which I was already familiar with. Then he asked me if I loved Sarah. I was a little surprised and didn't know what to say at first. How would he react? I told him that I did, and he asked if had taken her out to a fancy dinner yet. I replied that I had been planning to take her out for one soon. He pulled a bill out of his pocket and handed it to me. It was a $100 bill. "A $100 nice dinner?" I asked, kind of taken aback by the amount. He just hugged me and started crying and saying that I am a man now, how much he likes Sarah, that I did good, and that he is proud of me. Then he left the room fairly abruptly and left me standing there, where I stayed for a few minutes before crying myself.
I then went to the bank to find that it was closed. Poo. So I went over to Jessica's house to watch a movie, because, as many of you should know, she is stuck there for a while for post-surgery. Now I'm back home. |
I have been very busy lately, but come Christmas break it should be a bit easier. I do still have to do Christmas shopping.... I'm not looking forward to that. I dunno what I'm getting anybody yet.
Renown! Gosh, it's gonna rock hardcore. *rewinds* Okay, I've been partly involved with a startup for downtown Huntsville. It is basically going to be a Christian-oriented, but PG-13 rated, environment for young adults to hang out, have some coffee, study, go to concerts (Christian or secular from time to time), and so on and so forth. It's going to be an extravaganza. I'm going to be involved with the weekly music, probably playing bass with C3, but I also might be involved with their video projects. The budget for that is going to be out of this world (compared to previous projects I have been involved in); the cameras alone (probably four of them) will value around $42,000. I hope I will have the time to be involved. I also hope I can have some irregular access to some of this equipment. Even if I am not directly involved with the video, this is a possibility. Hear that, Huntsville NPFAT guys? EQUIPMENT!
I love Sarah very much. Elaborating on that would not do it justice, so I will just leave it at that.
I have a possible co-op job for next semester. I'm not sure if I would rather do that or take classes. I would probably be more busy taking classes, and I wouldn't be getting any money for that, but there is a class I really want to take that is only being offered next semester.
I don't want to go home for the break, but I have to.

I'm only typing this because I'm bored and I said I would. I'm sick and poopy and bored and hungry, and as for the hungry part, I don't know if I can eat anything. My appetite is not as big as my stomach right now.

It's been a while since I updated my LJ. Where to begin.... I've been slightly less busy as of late. I need a job. I need to get my registration worked out. I love Sarah. My neck hurts. Gentoo is not working right now. Ruby is pretty. I have a lot of projects I should work on. Wow, I'm pretty boring and typical. Nothing new here. Maybe somebody else has an interesting LJ....

|---|
I have been working off and on for a light web site the past couple days. It's pretty neat, and it will probably mostly replace my LJ, but it's not up yet. I'm wanting to at least start the back end before I put it up.
The basic concept of it is that my updates are all just short thoughts, small enough to fit on an index card. In fact, I decided that I would actually make them appear on little index cards on the site. Right now, that's about all there is, but I will add a bunch of features once I have a back end set up. You guys will really like what I have in mind, assuming I can think of a way to pull some of this off.

Okay, so Sarah and I were out late last night in downtown taking some shots. Here's my favorite three out of my batch:
Edit:I replaced the images on my server without realizing what I was doing. Oops! Anyway, you can still check them out at my DeviantArt gallery.

It's a mystery
Seen in every corner of the world
Never understood
Never explained
I myself have seen
Its authority
Stronger than any other force
It is direct from God Almighty Himself
The very thread from Creator to Man
Given to Man to give to others still
A binding of the hearts
The essense of beings
Who delight in this blessing under proud eye
So fundamental to our nature
We are jellyfish in its currents
Floating in an entire ocean of it
An ocean of God
Can you not feel it?
To fall in is to devalue its meaning
But to be in
And allow to carry me
Is to demonstrate for all to see
It carries me to places
I would not be seen otherwise

So I've been.... guess.... busy! But things are great too! Vague? Yes, but only because I'm too tired to bother typing up more. Someday I promise I will catch you guys up on some of this stuff, assuming anybody even reads this anymore.

So, I have been very busy lately. .o'unai .i Homework and classes have taken over my life. Add to that all this praise band stuff and video stuff, and you have quite a big workload. At first I thought my solid state fundamentals class would be easy, but now I have slacked a little bit and I'm getting behind. .ua .i I'm about to go find a friend in the engineering building to help me understand some of it.
As for my quiet time lately... .a'icu'i .i I need to start praying and reading my Bible some more again.
I've been seeing a lot of Sarah though. .iucai .i mi djica le nu mi cinba ta

| » Independent Artists on iTunes |
|---|
Artists on major record labels tend to get about five cents per song they sell on online music stores. Though selling CDs is no different, this has always been a major gripe of mine. When Apple first started the iTunes Music Store, I was expecting the artists to get a bigger chunk of the money for their songs, but instead, the record labels just held on to more for themselves. On top of that, Apple had to settle with the RIAA to DRM all the music they sell. That is starting to change. While Apple is still selling music with DRM, independent artists and labels can now freely apply to have their music sold on the iTunes Music Store. What does this mean? Artists can get more like fifty cents per song instead of five. Compare this with the money record labels are handing out and it would make sense for the labels to start panicking. With such good return, there is less motivation to stick with the major record labels.
Just something I thought of while reading up on the latest.

Good grief I have been busy. I would explain, but I would leave so much out. Suffice to say that after today and yesterday, I am sore and stressed beyond all belief (the stress is going away, but the soreness remains). Videos, praise band, homework, classes, etc. owned me. Time for bed. Maybe I will make a real update tomorrow or something.
