Thanksgivinged

I am really tired right now and I'm supposed to be doing work ha ha ha...

Thanksgiving Day = Alright

My family went to VT for Thanksgiving. My dad and sister went skiing for the day, and I felt sick in the morning so I stayed home and cooked. About half of the food we had I made and it came out pretty good. The food wasn't very hard to cook though. I made a pumpkin pie, a cranberry fruit nut bread, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and helped with the stuffing. I also played songs on my dads twelve string while things were in the oven, I have come to realize that I'm not very good at guitar.

Harry Potter = Better than the other ones

Ok, first off, it has CG dragons that came out awesome, so the movie automatically gets bonus points. Second, its definitely one of the better books in the series. Lastly, the director didn't change things in the book that much, but did more cutting of scenes. The only thing that they changed I think if I am remebering correctly was that all of the tournament contenders fought their dragons at the same time not one after the other. I'm not sure though I read the book like three years ago.

Phil = Still awesome

I went to visit Phil and he is still rocking the... house? I don't know, but he definitely has a newly finished room in the basement, which is very green and excellent, and has been bestowed with a mighty computer of prowess. It kicks some serious grundle if you can fathom where I'm coming from. Phil is currently working on two games: Black and White II and Star Wars Galaxies. B&W II has nice graphics, god like action, and massive death capabilities... nice. Galaxies... well it's a pretty mean looking mmo with jedi, I'm in. So all in all, Phil is doing well, and is chuggin along in life like a pledge drinking a gallon of milk.

Katelyn = I love you!
Fever = 102°

Well uh, Katelyn is really sick today, which isn't much fun. I get to talk to her though like all day! I hope she feels better. (Brad casts Master Heal) Aw it didn't work. Oh well, Kalen if your reading this take your echinacea and vitamin C!!!

As for right now, I must depart and continue my loads of college work... AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

Over the Hills and Far Away

Washington D.C!!! I went to Washington D.C. with Kalen this past weekend and it was a lot of fun. We visited George Washington University and it was pretty impressive. At first I tried to hate it because it is so far away from Boston, but ironically I ended up liking the school. If Katelyn decides to go there I will do everything in my power to help her get there, even if it means I won't see her for months at a time. My heart tells me I will never leave her, and I just want her to be happy wherever she is.

Today I went to Daddy's to get some picks and it ended up that I played a bunch of acoustic guitars too. The first one I picked up and played was a $2,000+ Epiphone Paul McCartney Texan. It sounded amazing, it had nice action, and it was amazingly light. I played a few Ibanez guitars too, which played very nice considering the price. One Ibanez had a wicked cool inlay on the fretboard of a winding vine. There was a martin, which sounded nice but I thought the action and general feel of the guitar was not for me at all. I was kind of disapointed because I know Martin guitars are one of the best brands out there. Lastly I picked up a Taylor acoustic electric. This sounded awesome, the action wasn't too high or low, and it felt perfect in my hands. I really liked it, although I'm not sure which I like better, the Taylor or the Epiphone. Overall it was a good start to finding a guitar I like, so far one of my favorites is the Epiphone Dove which has great reviews. Hopefully it feels somewhat like the Texan!!!

Here is the Dove:

Ring Lords play Guitar

It's been a little over a week since the last post. Everything has just been so busy, and I constantly find myself on the fine line between getting all my work done and getting far, far behind in my work. I work continuously and try not to put my work off, yet I always find myself working against the clock at the last second.

Well anyways, lots of stuff has happened!!!

Katelyn and I had our six month anniversary (YAY!!!) and I was terribley spoiled. I received a titanium ring with a silver inlay, and the inside was inscibred with "Forever Yours" in Latin. It's kind of funny I guess because it is supposed to be the other way around, but I suppose we are breaking the norm. In my eyes the act that she performed rather than the gift given, means more to me than anyone could possibly imagine. Katelyn, (I love you)^infinity he he.

Whenever I have gotten frustrated this week I started writing little pieces of music on guitar, but nothing anywhere near a song. It's just fun to play around with scales and put music pieces together. I always wanted to play, but never had the inspiration to do it until Katelyn and Mike. It's kind of sad really because Mike shunned me away and Katelyn gave up playing. Guitar just seems to upset her for some reason so I never bring it up. I definitely want to play a lot more with Dan though, he is picking it up really fast. At the rate he is going he will be better than me in a few weeks.

Hmmm, I guess not that mush happened this past week. The importance of Katelyn and I's six month anniversary seems to make it feel like a lot happened. I ate a 12 inch roast beef sub yesterday and almost puked... but no one really cares about that.

Thats all for today, and as for Fishy... phase three has yet to reveal itself.

The Power of The Who

For some reason, and I'm not sure why, but when I listen to The Who I get the same nervous, excited feeling as I did when I first met Katelyn. It's quite magical actually, it makes me feel like I'm meeting her for the first time all over again. To tell you the truth I love her even more every time I listen to The Who, especially the song "Real Good Looking Boy". I don't really know why, probably because I was obsessed with The Who at the end of senior year. Whatever the case may be, it is definitely an awesome feeling.



Real Good Looking Boy

When I think back to the first time in my childhood
When I saw that face I thought right then,
'That's a real good looking boy'

I saw myself in the mirror
in profile for the first time
I thought, 'Hey! That's a real good looking boy'

And I felt then
that I moved
With all those lucky fucks and angels
High in the theatre In the sky

So I ran to my mother
I said, 'Hey mom - take a look at me
Have you ever seen a teen fly so high?'

That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

She said, 'Son, well you know, you're an ugly boy.
You don't really look like him

In this long line,
There's been some real strange genes
You've got 'em all
You've got 'em all
With some extras thrown in'

That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

Wise men say
Only fools, only fools rush in
But I - I can't help
Falling in love
In love with you

Now I'm here with you little darling
And you say, 'You're as beautiful as you are'
And I've managed somehow to survive

You arrived in my life like a fragrance
You helped me find a way to laugh
Now I know a so-called beauty lies

God gave him a face
Then he gave me something above
God gave me a grace
Then he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love

You make me feel I'm a real good looking boy
I feel I'm a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
