cause i think they do.

switching to unt now, uta was kinda lame. not sure how thats gonna work out with the job, though i’d be fine with not having one for awhile and concentrating on school for once. just the one dumb spanish class im taking now i cant seem to bother with too much. im just burned out right now.

cleaned up backyard a bit yesterday, dog trainer is comin by this week so hopefully we wont have to work so hard on keeping the fence secured if we can get mac trained a bit more. shed is a bit more in order, but still a long way to go. inside is pretty much on maintenance duty now, no more big projects. which is sooo good.

is slowly…sloooooooowly coming along. 7 tracks down, unmixed, three more are slightly unwritten. havent played a show in a long time, starting to feel the itch, but want to write and play new songs. all the songs we’ve recorded are kinda old and we’re tired of them. big reason why its been hard trying to finish. ah well.

its just one of those things i want to just check off. we went in december, and it really is just an experience. i dont even know whatd id do there, id just like to live there for about a year, just to say it. siiighhhhh…

well, i did a half on saturday. with really no training to speak of. i should have just run a 10k, but i just felt like hey, what the hell, so..i did. and it hurt. id never experienced anything like it, my legs were just done, there was nothing left in them. but, as painful as the whole thing was, i am intrigued, and now plan on you know, actually training for a race. theres a marathon in san antonio in november. maybe that one.

i am sooo sore. for anyone looking for workout plans, go to:

www.halhigdon.com

thats for anything, any distance, any skill level. its a great site with a lot of great advice.

so yes! house stuff! im lame! but its nice, theres not too much left to do. umm, insulation guy’s comin next week, just some more arranging and cleaning and i think the inside’s done. the garage sale last weekend was really good. next is the backyard, theres a lot of work to do. so..yea!

ok so i havent put up anything on the 43 things site for quite awhile. regular updates on allconsuming, but here..sometimes i just want to think about other things.

anyway, so music has been going well. we have a show tomorrow night with a bunch of bands from denton, but the poster looks like ass!
we’ve been working with molly to learn bass, and shes pickin it up pretty quick.
we have lined up a studio/practice space with addnerim, hopefully we’ll be movin in there in the next couple weeks and we can start seriously recording. recorded with keith a couple weeks ago, still need to finish those. looking for a permanent drummer. been buying up equipment, mics, cables, whatnot.
anyway, yep! thats whats been goin on! i have a headache.

san antonio marathon is in november, plenty of time to train. ive been trying to get a regular running schedule, but its difficult. i guess it always will be, just have to make time. but i have been running more often than i have in a long time. at least a couple times a week. trying to up that to at least 4. i feel comfortable running 5 and 10k distances, and next weekend im running a 15k. we’ll see how that goes.

we have a show upstairs at the ridglea. not that big of a deal, but i think it just helps to have something to play to. we’ve had 2 practices with everyone there. im a little nervous, but overall i feel really good about it.
on another note, our roommate is moving out at the end of the month, and we’ll be taking back her room to make into a studio, art and music. hopefully. so i’ll finally have a place to just play, which is what ive been sorely lacking. my mental clarity is peaking, and im ready to write some more.

this time it looks like its gonna take. ive completed one mc before, but the last time my girlfriend and i tried it it was around the holidays and just wasnt going to work.
so now, we’re on day 3, and feelin groovy. ive been doing the swfs every day this time, and drinking the tea every night, a bit more rigorous than the first time i did it. its easier if youre doing it with someone else.
anyway, just excited to be cleansing again, i forgot how good it feels, and even though this cleanse doesnt really have a particular goal or meaning, its still nice to just try and do something good for my body. good luck everybody

just had to drop a class. i promised myself i wouldnt this semester, but it just had to go, im not going to have a shit grade following me around again. rather depressing, but at least it was a cheap class this time.

so my friend who has always kinda backed me up on whatever i was doing is now being backed up by me. its interesting. i just havent had much time or privacy to write lately, whereas he has, and hes come up with some good songs.
sometimes its easier to work on someone else’s work than your own, and thats what i find myself doing now. i like it. i really like some of the songs, but as with anything, a fresh set of ears helps, and i think that in the end, there will be a really big improvement. im happy to be a part of it.

already, with a list i update called “What I’ve been watching.” dont really need it as a goal.

ok. breathe.

im weird. i got an iphone for christmas, and had a case, but the dog ate it (see earlier entry). since then I have been carrying it around naked, which i like overall, but had noticed the screen is getting scratched up. so i researched a little, and found a company online that makes iphone protectors. tried putting it on this morning. it has one of these static screens. there’s bubbles all over the motherfucker. and the wrap thing, for the back..i just threw the whole thing in the trash. i think i just wasted 20 bucks.

i ran a 10k this last weekend, although i intended to run the half, but i just didnt train right. now im determined. this is going to be my year.

i want to just run the full marathon. im beginning training now, and i think if i can continue, just keep in the habit, it’ll be groovy. i did run the 10k though, and did rather well, i wasnt really even pushing myself and ended up with about an 8 minute mile, so..yea. not too bad.

so im officially checkin this one off. all caught up, now im catchin my girlfriend and our roommate up because i got them addicted now, and watchin them new ones live.
oh, by the way, did you know that you can stream every episode online for free? i did not know that. im dumb.

has been..strange. my head hurt i was so depressed, and im not sure why. i mean, i really dont have any problems in my life, but i think in general ive just been frustrated, feeling trapped, mostly by my job and school, and now in a relationship. well, thats a harsh word for my current relationship, not really correct. but..i dunno, im getting older, feeling like i kind of have to make a decision and stick to it, and ive always been one for second guessing, especially myself. so..i dunno, i dont think anyone’s gonna argue with me and say that relationships dont take patience. and out of a lot of them, this one’s not nearly as bad as some in the past. actually quite good now that i think about it .
