Back in the dorms

Tonight I am sleeping in good old Walker 1 again. It's been a while. For a minute, sitting in Laura's room, I almost missed studying. And then reality overcame me, and I realized how much I DIDN'T miss studying. It's funny though how smells and seeing things is so much reminding me of when I used to live here. I think it's really the camaraderie of this place that I miss. But then again, I would never get anything done here. I would talk with people forever. I really am looking forward to having my own place someday... I guess I'm getting old and boring.

Recording artist!

Hey, today I went to visit my friend Rick Castleman, whom I had a class with last year at CIU. He attends a church in Lexington and has agreed to let me use the "recording studio" of his church office to record my first ever cd in! So, today I was checking out the place, and seeing what Rick could do with my vocals and guitar/keyboard with ProTools. I am very excited to get some stuff down. I'm starting next weekend. The best part about this is that I'm getting the experience for free! So, it may be a while before it's done, but at least it's in the works. I've been talking about doing a cd for a while, so I'm glad I'm finally doing it. If I can finish off two songs that I'm working on, I can make it a 10-song cd. I've always wanted to do cds of songs that make sense together (like have a theme), so I might try to still shoot for that, or I might make an exception, because I didn't write these songs with that intention. They're really just songs from my life experiences. I guess you could call my style folk rock. I would compare my style to that of Sarah McGlaughlin, Bebo Norman/Andrew Peterson - ish. So, I am very excited to get going on that.

I am also attending Gateway Baptist tomorrow for the first Sunday of what I hope to be many Sundays. I'm excited about getting the chance to be on their worship team.

Before the clocks kept time...

So, I was thinking today: who ever decided to have days and call them Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday? (Oh, yeah, God did.) But still, I think there needs to be a little chaos in this order, to liven things up a bit. We have put the days in an unbreakable order, and called 365 days a year (which God did not do, by the way), and then we divided all those days up into 24 hours of 60 minutes each. We decided that you are supposed to give your body energy by consuming edible products at three times in the day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and, if you're lucky, snack and dessert too). Why are we so freakin organized?? Sorry, I'm not really upset at the world--just questioning things. Anyways, I guess I'm not so much going anywhere with this, other than the fact that it is very freeing to think there is no rule of godliness I am breaking if I choose to eat dinner at a wierd time or not at all, or if I decide that I want to take God's Sunday on Wednesday, or if I decide that 367 days ago was still in my mind's timeframe of a year. This has been spastic thoughts with Genevieve...

Argh.

I wanted to write tonight, but I'm too tired to write about what I wanted to write about. I forgot what I wanted to say. Maybe I'll write this weekend sometime. I'm going to the wedding of my friendses Chris and Alaina. Labor Day approaches...
