Blog Post #2

SO, I just re-read my last blog post, and I realized why it's taken me this long to post again: I haven't applied for UVU classes, and at the end of my last post, I said I would blog my next post once I've done that. BIG SUPRISE: I procrastinated. Anyway, I'll update you on my life so far:

I moved away from BYU. I used to live in BYU housing, just south of campus, until August. Then I realized that if I'm not going to BYU, then I didn't need to live there. Plus, I was doing pest control for a while and had to commute to Salt Lake every morning, so I decided to move closer to the freeway. Enter: Wolverine Crossing. I live right next to the freeway now, on the other side of the I-15 from UVU. What's ironic is that I don't do pest control now because it was just way too ridiculous. Too many hours; not enough pay; physical, emotional and mental stress. The works. It just wasn't worth it. BUT! I love my new place. My roommates are awesome, and we entertain people over at our apartment all the time. There's always something fun going on and I've become really good friends with my roomies in a short amount of time. I couldn't imagine living with anyone else now.

I still haven't applied for UVU classes though. I'm almost to that point, I just have to go turn in my high school transcript so that my financial aid can be processed and then I can sign up for some Gen. Ed. classes. We'll see how long it takes me to do that. Hopefully tomorrow I can do it. Or Monday.

Otherwise, I just live my life. I'm kind of dating someone right now, but I'm not sure where it's going. It's really confusing. I'll leave it at that though, until something else comes of it. I feel like we're coming to a fork in our road, and it's either gonna go one way, or the other. I just hope we both plan on taking the same route. More to follow after I figure that out.

I've been doing a lot of singing too. Since Phil is gone and I don't have the Phil Forte project to work on, I basically just have to do my own thing 'til he gets back in March. Yesterday I played at Open Mic in Provo at the Cybergate Cafe on University Parkway. That was fun. It's hard though, because I've been sick for like the past 3 weeks and my throat is still scratchy, and thus prevents me from singing at my full range. People still like it, I guess, but I'm not exactly satisfied. I guess all I can do is keep going until I get better. I don't really want to make that a career though. That's Phil's job. I'll be the one behind the scenes, managing and whatnot. That's what I wanna do.

Anyway, I think that's enough for now. I didn't expect to write so much, but I guess I just needed to get it all off my chest. It's nice. Hopefully I can take shorter than 9 months to blog my next post. Not that it matters, considering there aren't any followers, and I don't do any advertising to get followers. 'Til next time.

I have no followers...

I don't have any followers yet. I don't really expect to. This isn't for you people, it's for me. Kind of like an online journal I guess. But if someday someone does decide they want to keep track of what I post on the internet, I hope you get something out of it. I started this blog on a whim. We'll see where it takes me.

I'm kind of excited about it to tell you the truth. I'm not exactly good at sharing my feelings, so I think this might be good for me. I feel like I'm telling people about myself... without me actually telling people about myself.

I've been working a lot lately. That's all I really do. Work at Walgreens as a "Certified Photo Specialist", come home, then spend time with my girlfriend, Dexter. Dexter, the Showtime TV show. Jenny called it my girlfriend one time because I spent like, a whole day watching it once. What? It's sooo good. If you haven't ever seen it, I highly recommend it. If you're sensitive to bad words, violence, brief nudity or murder, then it might not be for you though. I used to be sensitive to those things. High school rid me of that :D

So, I work, watch Dexter, or sit around playing guitar. It's basically all I have right now to fill my time. It's that or work on stuff for Phil Forte (my "less-than-official-but-more-than-unofficial" Musician I represent who also happens to be one of my best friends). We're working on making it in the entertainment business together, and right now I basically have to learn via trial and error 'til I start school, whenever that may be.

The plan was to go to BYU during the summer as a "Visiting Student" but thats not gonna work out. I slacked off too much in high school (a.k.a didn't do my work or take the ACT) and now I basically have to prove to everyone that I'm not actually educationally challenged and that I do have what it takes to go to the Y. But in order to do that I have to go to UVU for about a year first before I can make the switch from Sith to Jedi. It's gonna be so exciting :| I'll update you all when I've actually applied for UVU classes and post-high school education is actually somewhere in my sights.
