18, Eighteen, Achtzehn, Dieciocho & ВОСЕМНАДЦАТЬ

Today, err tonight I am 18...well not technically till about 10:00pm tomorrow night...but whatever lol what a wild ride its been so far...
So much has transpired over the last 18 years of my life, birth of course, siblings being born, going to school for the 1st time (6th grade), switching schools, Sprague HS, following the HS Football team all the way to a state championship, 3 State Titles in Music, 1 World Championship, Senior Year 06-07

alls I can say is wow

Michelle, Steven, Chelsie, Kelsey and Ashley all wished me Happy Birthday in the "Wii" hours of the night...Thanks friends!!

The last 48 hours

As I recount my thoughts over the last two days I remember the following; I have decided not to attend WinterYouth (a retreat that my youth group is going to), I fell off/through a fence and hurt myself badly, played Gears of War and Splinter Cell: DA, picked out my new Samsung HDTV and new Alpine/Infinity Car Stereo system...

31 and below

If anyone hasn't left their house in the last two days, its bloody cold outside. While some may hate it, I LOVE IT!! lol Last night I drove for 14 miles with my windows down all the while seeing my data console in the Jeep read 27 degrees. Today I went picture hunting while driving, found a railroad crossing and went to work, I put a few up on here, enjoy.

Life

So today, I got up after 5 hours of sleep after playing Halo for close to 8 hours straight...drove some ppl around, washed my car, did nothing, discovered a ceramic deer lawn furniture piece sitting at the bottom of my pool, went to Lyons to hangout w/friends, watched The Last Samurai, came home - and now I'm here.

Elsinore Concert

Tonight, I took part in my last Elsinore orchestra/choir concert as a High School musician. It was definitely a night to remember!! Playing the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah is definitely in my top 3 for "the experience and emotional high" gained through playing exquisite music literature and tonight was no exception - An amazing experience. 110+ person choir and Orchestra...cant get any better than that

2nd Concert, thinking of the 3rd

Tonight I etched another notch in my giant "wall of concerts"...It was decent, definitely not as good as I had hoped. 2nd Drama is going to flare up again, I can already feel it. Hmmm I'm definitely thinking tomorrow will be better though, Orchestra/Choir - Elsinore Concert is on the agenda, I will be playing my final performance of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's "Messiah." Should be a grand time - friends, family will all be in attendance, right now I really couldn't ask for anything more than a Camerata performance in the Elsinore...Its defiantly one of the best moments a Sprague Camerata player can expierence.

haha Jenna and Jennifer are crazy Asians!!! lol

1st Blog

SNOW! from like two weeks ago lol

So I'm sitting here, its currently somewhere in the neighborhood of 11:30pm on a slow Monday evening...after seeing how much fun and entertaining it can be to read blogs, I decided to get my own lol. Basically alot of stuff has been happening lately and seems to be swirling around in my head at a breakneck speed; college apps, the notions of "change" on the horizon, what I want for Christmas...and so on
