Blah.

Currently I am waiting for my paycheck.

Tomorrow my youth group and I all leave for fil-am. Yesterday I was reminded that this is not a vacation. And I though about it. And only thing I was happy about is the fact I take a break from work. But now I feel like I've lost the point of fund raising. Did we do all this work and raise all this money so that we can go on a vacation? Or are we so hungry for God we will do anything to go to this convention and get impacted by Him?

On a lighter note I thank God for all he has done in providing for us financially. He is great.

I don't want to think about going next year. I'll let that decision come later. But this year I pray that 1063 will be so impacted by God that we come back changed and that fire in us burns like it has never burned before.

Writing songs and Recording.

A month or so ago i found out how to record from my computer for free. Last night i was so bored out of my mind i decided to attempt to record a song. When testing my little computer mic i noticed that it catches your breathing. That sucked a lot. There was this time when Mitch, Jeremiah, and I recorded a rap song. same type of mic. and it caught our breaths. So i wanted to create a ghetto net that speakers and professional recording studios have.

I ran around the house looking for a wire hanger, I found one under my bed. I formed it to some weird almost circle type thing. i tried putting a sock. but it was too thick. so i looked for a thin shirt. but it wouldnt stay. In panic for another thing to use i looked around the room. while looking i stepped on my Rockband Mic. And in my brilliance i plugged it into my computer. HAHA

The song i want to record is Your Love Never Fails by Jesus Culture. I wanted my cousin Julie to sing it. But I've only played that song at church with a band. Never by my self. So i tried it by my self and it was the worst thing ever. The start was correct just like i always play at church but as the chorus hit I don't know what happened. All i know is that i have to try again later today.

This morning i wrote a song for Kirstyn. She doesn't know it yet. I want to record it today. I'll post later or tomorrow about the song. maybe even the song itself.

iPhone 3G S!

New iPhone coming out... I want it end of story haha.

I dont know if it is just me, but why is it that when you have something as great as an iPhone 3G you STILL want the newest one coming out? One reason is i want picture messaging, I hate having to e-mail things to friends phones. It gets a little complicated. And video recording, iPhone camera is great. I mean it can work for photos for blogging and just memories. Its cool because you can upload them straight to myspace or facebook the second you take the picture. I did that at my first choir concert. It was cool. Hopefully by the time i get my upgrade they have an iPhone better that this. but by then a new one is coming out. Isn't technology amazing? by the time you have the thing you want something better comes out and you end up wanting that.

Well I wonder if the update for picture messaging and video recording will come to my phone? hmm. Do the first generation iPhones have 3G speed on them? My friend Jamie's iPhone doesnt have 3G but its also jailbroken.

tired x 1000

Today I woke up to the sound of a truck moving gravel to my driveway. We are in the process of upgrading our backyard from dirt too decency haha. Well we want to put cement soooo we had to move gravel. 3 hours of non stop shoveling and wheel barreling. After that i had to go to the bank for a deposit of coins for our youth group. Imagine how heavy 500 dollars in coins is. It's heavy enough for two people to struggle lol. After that i had to work. Typical Starbucks day only i was dead tired. Nothing got done in the mid shifts so as a closer tonight we were slammmmed with tasks. We ended up getting out 45 minutes late. I didn't really feel to much like eating anything or doing anything other than reading my Bible. Thank God for iPhone apps =D. I continued reading in 2 Corinthians. A lot of good stuff in the chapters i read. Some of the good stuff was about not being unequally yolked ch 6, and false apostles in ch 11. Good stuff today.

I haven't touched my guitar in dayys. I cant wait til practice or something.

Good night every one!

Summer plans!

So today i asked my brother what his goals were for the summer. He didn't tell me but i got to thinking "what are my goals this summer?" So here are my goals in order of importance.

1. Grow in my relationship with God
2. Pray more.
3. Focus on being a better leader for my youth group
4. Improve as a musician.
5. Save money?


Those are my goals. 1, 2, and 3 are my main ones. I think i can improve as a musician just as i practice which i will be doing every week for Sundays. I also need to spend less time with my iPhone and more time with family and friends.

Anyway i figured this is a good post since it is still early in the summer.

I also want to figure out a way to use this for my youth group. and add pics.
