I am...

So in a fit of cleaning I happened upon an old assignment from speech class (and for those of you counting it was my 3rd, and final time) were we had to list 20 things we are. This was like 4 years ago and interesting to see what I thought I was.


I am...
A Son
An Uncle
A composer
A friend
A good cook
A brother
A listener
A talker
Creative
A musician
Fun
A hard worker
Somewhat organized
good with kids
young
witty
smart
a reader
a beer drinker
done with this assignment

I personally a fan of the last one. I would change a few things but overall I am still all those things and I am still done with speech.:)

I hate being an adult

Not that I am very often, but when the opportunity presents itself I shudder at the thought. I have been giving a lot of thought lately to the idea of buying a home and a new"er" car. Man I have no clue how my parents did it and raised four children. Well 3 I don't think one of my brothers has yet grown up I am not sure he ever will. Hell I don't know how anyone does it. The cost of doing anything is so great I am not sure I will be able to. I know I can but it's just so hard. I mean finally being out of blinding poverty and in a situation where I can even think about these things is great don't get me wrong. It just brings up whole other concerns. Like if I buy a house, I can't just quit my job whenever. That's another thing. Granted I am only 31 but this will be the longest I have ever had the same job. Yes the theatre was 4 years but two in the Box Office and two in advancement. I have now been at school for 3 years and am now going on to my 4th. Good for me but at the same time am I going to stop feeling young. I have always been happy that I never have felt old, though my body at times has indicated otherwise. Not that I want to "relate" to the kids today, but I would like to remember what it was like to be young and carefree and think I had all the answers. Alas to have someone else take care of all the none fun adult things like house payments oh well I guess I knew it couldn't last forever but hey I have a while before it really happens I have a year left on this place.:)

Pride Day

So yesterday was pride and of course I drank a bit. There are reasons I don't drink like I use to. And really that is a good thing.

I didn't march with the band or play with the pep band on the stage. I am really fine with that. I did work the booth while they were playing. I enjoyed it, I am really good at talking to people who are interested in the band I encouraged several people into signing up and coming to the band rehearsal on Tuesday.

My friend FN was bartending at the booze tent and was making some very strong drinks and that didn't help with my sobriety. Overall it was a good day. I will say Booze, Breakfast Casarole and Chinese take out makes one sick just to let you all know.

working

For those of you wondering I am now officially full time and the orchestra director. I say orchestra it is right now a string ensemble but in the next few years if I can get the numbers up then I can make it a large orchestra and leave Special K and the band and just work on this. Hello open Fall.
