the dreaming tree

well, something new happened to me today: i got fired. he said it wasn’t working out cause i ranked 18 out of 18 in terms of number of verified customers or whatever. i’m not exactly sure what he said after the words it isn’t working out. alls i can say is i read my script exactly like they told me to. i remember them saying i wasn’t supposed to be selling anything, that if the person was interested, then they would say so, but apparently it is my fault.

here’s a limited edition shirt i made for our last concert…

and here’s a photo of us in the studio with darian, the magician who makes us sound good…

well, i just got back from a salty eleven hour journey to blue chair studio where mayor dave and his shorter ones laid down some genuine tracks. i’m really really pleased with how everything turned out, especially for only having one day to put them together, and also considering that we just wrote one of the songs last week. i’m pretty tired, but that was worth it, most definitely. most definitely. everyone have a bowl of ice cream on me.

ok guys, i need your help once more. that competition voting thing is an ongoing thing and we’re in the second round now against a different band. whoever voted last time, thank you SO much…we defeated the other band like 43-17. if you have a chance, i’d greatly appreciate your votes (you can vote once a day). thanks, y’all. here’s the link again: smash the competition with us.

AND i have a show tonight! yesssss.

i want to write an update, but there is not much to tell. i am still working two jobs, and sleeping as if i only had three. yesterday was the little rock summer ultimate league tournament. my team, rugged good looks (named after me, obviously), had a first round bye before meeting mystikal weiner in the second round. well, i missed the first half cause i had to work, so that sucked. when i arrived, we were down 8-6, but quickly stormed back and had it tied at 11 when a soft-cap was called. that means that two points are added to the high score and that becomes the winning score. they won. 13-11. we threw away about 6 opportunities to score. i mean, people had the disc in their hand and dropped it in the endzone. oh well. i still have legs, so i will play once more, and dominate once more.

i think…i’m going to fayettville. and i’m excited.

i just got in from delivering papers in the pouring rain. what an adventure. in other news, i’m considering a transfer. i know it sounds ridiculous that after spending five years at one school, i would leave to finish my last year, but it is something that i have to take a look at. the reason? well, to be honest (and that’s all i’ll ever be on this program), i failed some classes. yeah, not one or two, but some. basically this creates a situation where it is impossible for me to finish in one semester, whether i stay or go, and the simple fact is that i cannot afford ouachita any longer now that my scholarships are gone. plus, since my dad is employed by the university of arkansas, i would receive a 40% or so discount on tuition. the other thing to consider is that i really haven’t liked ouachita for a few years now. pretty much i’ve been sticking it out because i hate quitting stuff, which is, i guess, how i view a transfer for some reason. but the more i think about it, the more it seems like a good idea. i’ve gotta figure out what God thinks about it, though. i have to consider how hard it might be to adjust to a new school, and one where i would potentially only remain at for two semesters (i might stay and get a masters). i do happen to know a decent amount of people that go to arkansas, even one in the music department, so it wouldn’t be completely cold there. plus, they have an orchestra that i could play in and i could forever leave behind wind ensemble, which i hate. another thing is that i grew up wanting to be a razorback and now i have that chance. i would actually get to go see a razorback football game and experience being at a large-ish university with sports teams that people care about. and maybe i could even play on the ultimate frisbee team (known as ludicrous speed). hmmm…there’s a lot to consider, and this blog post was kinda me getting those thoughts on…screen.
