so here i am, don't know how to say this...

let's play the game again where you guess where this quote comes from. i like this game. remember there are eprops and cool points at stake.
2 eprops and 25 cool points to dad who attempted to answer the last guess that band quote on the last post.

i feel as if a great burden has been lifted off my back. the real inspector hound is over. we had three great shows. to all those who showed up at 10:30 on thursday night... thank you. that was the perfect audience for opening night. my mom and my sister and both sets of grandparents came down yesterday to see the show and i was very appreciative. i love my family so so much.

ojk played again on friday night at the justice jam. i had a load of fun playing. we ended up selling around 20 cds which makes me much happy. we played a new song and karma had its way with us. i accidentally sent my guitar flying through the air and was unable to catch it before it hit the ground and paul broke a string all while playing the new song. o well. it was sweet and my guitar is ok.

yesterday we finished up the real inspector hound and striked (correct usage maybe struck, i'm not sure) the set and proceded on to perkins. going to perkins with the cast after a show is always o so much fun. i love unwinding after acting, it is on my list of top 100 things. i just made up this idea of a list of top 100 things, but i think i am going to stick with it.
immediately after perkins walhof jeremiah kenny and myself went set out to find a movie theater that was playing aqua teen hunger fors colon movie film for theaters. despite me becoming more than angry with sioux city and crying out because of the lack of parking and craziness of the streets the theatre was found. i literally chuckled for 1 hour and 30 minutes. i found it immensly entertaining.

this morning jeremiah and myself particpated in the 24 7 prayer for dordt college. it was a very neat experience. basically at least one person has been in a room praying for dordt college all week long. i am very glad i participated.

i start job shadowing for my summer job tomorrow. i am a little nervous, but i will get over it.

to conclude i would like everyone to know that i just got my first A on a theology test.

this photo is funny.

the ones that carry never back down

those kids play with passion.


playing on saturday night was probably one of the best things that has ever happened to me. we were told that it was one of the best sets we have ever played and i would attribute that to one thing. we decided to pray before we played our set.
musically i played all sorts of things wrong, but we played the hardest we have ever played in our entire lives. thanks to everyone who came to watch us and bought the cd and rushed the stage when we were done, best feeling ever.
a face for radio a voice for silent film is now available for purchase. conctact us in some way if you desire a copy.

friday night i went with a group of comedy leaguers and performed for pella Christian's after prom party. we did a short show early in the night that went ok. the only characteristic that they wanted to see us act out was terrets. we politely declined. we then played a show at 2 am. i was tired, but i would consider the show to be a great success.

i woke up this morning sick. i still feel sick and it isn't very pleasant.

i have a big presentation tomorrow morning and once that is done i will be a happy man. it was one of those assignments that we have had for so long that it just hangs over your head.

for ten points the title of this blog comes from what band.
hint #1, jeremiah just bought their cd because he was in sioux city. he literally has no money but still felt compelled to purchase it (2 eprops to jeremiah to throw it back to the crappy xanga days)
hint #2 they are the only band whose name i have capitalized in my blog ever.
that was a fun game, i'm glad you played.

aside from the mystery band i have been listening to a band called 1997 who are apparently laura's friends.
i like.

you've got that seed in you

so lately i have been keeping a raging ball of stress hidden inside me. i don't get really mad very often, but when you combine stress and me letting people down an ugly side. i don't like being angry and stressed and on top of that feel like i'm letting people down.

i am currently in 2 different plays and it is making me panic. i seriously have not done any homework over the last 3 days because i have been so busy with the show. stress.

that is all in the way of complaining, people don't need to read about it because i do it enough in real life.

other than stressful things i have been enjoying my life. ojk finally practiced again. it was the first time since we recorded our cd and songs did not go terribly well, but paul wrote another new song and i am a big fan of it. we are playing shows the next 2 weekends and there is much excitement in the air. we are hoping to have the cd ready by this saturday. i have been burning cds like crazy so hopefully it all comes together.

i have been having a lot of good conversations about theology and Christianity in general. i'm starting to develope a new sense of what it means for me to be a Christian. all the struggles i have been having are starting to get resolved and i am excited about what is happening in my life. i am no longer afraid to go into the ministry and am starting to figure out what i want to do. it is good feeling.

i have blog syndrome as i am now going to call it. i have all these good things to say and then i forget them when it comes time to share them with the world wide interweb.

i did finally get my physical done for my occupation this summer. i also got a shot. i wanted to kick chair very hard because i hate shots so much.

time to continue work on lines and stressful things.

i am currently drowning in a pool of new music. jeremiah jake and myself decided to take a little trip to acquire as much new music as possible. we came away with the following cds:
jake bought the almost- souther weather
jeremiah bought lovedrug- everything starts where it ends
and i boughtthe academy is...- santi along with haste the day- pressure on the hinges.
sadly i was not able to pick up MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER (the only reason this is capitalized is because yelling their name is the only appropriate way to tell of them). i was pissed that i did not come away with that cd, but haste the day has sufficed my need for loud explosive music.

i remembered this past weekend why i enjoy being a sound man. i ran sound for peasants big show in the bj haan and they were nothing but a treat to mix for. they listened to me when i asked them to do things and trusted that things were sounding fine in the audience. they allowed me to do what i had to without making stupid requests and the show sounded great. it was a great experience and i hope to work with them again.

i have decided to not complete this blog till tommorrow at some point so hold on:

i realized today exactly how busy i am. i have been trying to schedule a physical for my new job and cannot find a single afternoon that will work for them and me. i have been trying for a while now and it shows no sign of figuring itself out.

busy.
i have decided that i am no longer going to stress out about the play because it is just for fun. no one is getting credit for it, it is just for fun. i am going to put everything i can into this play, but i am not going to stress out about it because i want it to be fun.
