Hey! Things are going pretty well! Our last day of school was yesterday, and I'm SO happy summer is finally here, haha. I'm lifeguarding at the town pool this summer, so that should be fun. What about you? How's life been?

Did a cover of another MCR song (not sure if I showed you the first one). Oh, and I made the backing track for this using Garageband, in case you're curious!

Hahah, yes, I was actually just wondering where you got the backing track from!
And wow. I really can't tell you how awesome your playing is. I really admire it!!
And did you see the link to the video I posted of me messing around with chords?

Thanks. I really appreciate it!
I did see your chords video. I felt like I sunk back to the 70's. Psychedelic, man! ^_^ Keep up zeh good werk!
By the way, if you ever can't find a backing track for a song on the web, I would be happy to make one for you if I have the time!

Sheeeeeeeez! It's been forever and a half since I've talked to you. To finally answer your question, everything's splendid. My summer was great! I actually was in LBI for a week during July, and it was fantastic. The pictures of mine that you see of a beach, are ones from there. It was some awesome surf, I'll tell ya! Anyways, on top of that we were in Ohio and Pennsylvania seeing friends and family. Oh, and we also headed up to Canada to see some family. So you could say it was quite an eventful summer.
Right now, school is going really well, and I'm currently interning with an organization that's sort of partnered with my church called Youth for Christ, and it's been a really great experience so far. I get to do a lot of media type stuff, including photography, video editing (which I'm still getting the hang of because I'm use to just filming), graphic design, and music (mostly for the videos). I'm also pretty involved with ministry work, which is awesome. This year's been off to a good start so far.
How about you? What's been up?

Hahaha, yeah, don't worry about it!! Life happens!
And no way!! That's awesome that you were in LBI for a bit this summer! I'm here right now, actually, for our long weekend thanks to Columbus Day. I also got some great shots at the local park which I just uploaded. We've been in the ocean a lot this weekend, and the waves for boogie-boarding have been lovely. Glad you got some time in, too!!
That's awesome about your internship!! It must be a lot of fun and quite a learning experience. I'm sure things will go well for you in doing that!
And I've been okay these days. School and family issues have been taking a really big toll on my mood and stress levels, but other than that, it's been pretty good. Hopefully as the year goes on, things will start to even out, but for now, I need to learn how to work through some crap. Music has been a big part of my life as ever, though. Lately I've been getting into some heavier genres, and I've recently started an obsession over Disturbed, hahaha. They're such a great band.
Well, it's great hearing that you're doing well!! Hope to hear from you soon!

I hope school goes better for you.
By the way, you need to put up some kind of display of your guitar playing sometime.

Oooohhhh, you have no idea how much I've been struggling and beating myself up about not being as good as I want to be!! Every time I try and record myself, and every time I play it back and listen to it, I criticize myself so much and then I just end up deleting it, hahaha. It's a vicious cycle.

Hellooooo!! Sorry it's been so long. Lots of crap has been going on.
The usual guy trouble. And I feel shitty because I'm sick. ANNDDDDD I have to go to a sweet 16 that I could not be less dreading going to. The last thing I want to do is be in a loud room with bitchy girls, wearing heels and a dress, and feeling like I do. I'm just happy that I'll have my friends there to get me through it.
How've you been, love?

Cwassicwock In reply to Commander-Khashoggi [2011-04-03 11:33:51 +0000 UTC]
Aww. Well, that doesn't sound like fun. Why do you have to go to the sweet 16? I mean if you are sick and are feeling really bad, then you honestly shouldn't feel like you have to (if that's the case).
Anyways, in the meanwhile, just drink lots of green tea and chicken soup! ALSO, drink as much water as you can drink throughout the day. My friend recommended that to me, and after the first day of doing it, I felt almost 100% recovered by the next day.
If you end up having to go, the best thing to do is just to stay with people you know or mingle with others in groups. That was it's not awkward and you're not alone.
I've been pretty good. Photography has been really nice and I've also been playing a lot of guitar lately. School's been annoying, though, and getting in the way of a lot of things. I'm also trying to figure out how I'm going to raise money to go on a missions trip with my church youth group this summer. I have to raise quite a bit, so I'm trying to figure that out. But yeah, it's been pretty good.
I hope you feel better! Just keep pushing on! Hope you have a good day. ^_^

Yeah, I almost stayed home last night. I was starting to feel really achy like I did the first day I came down with whatever I have. But it went away when I was getting dressed, so I figured I'd just go. And I'd be able to just sit down at the table where all my friends were if I wasn't feeling up to dancing and all of that.
But I actually felt SO energized as soon as I walked through those doors, and all of my friends rushed off the dance floor and out of their chairs and came and hugged me. Then they immediately dragged me off onto the dance floor and we just had an ah-mazing time. I'm really happy I went.
And thank you for the advice! I've also heard that about water from my grandma. I was also drinking LOTS of water at the party last night because I was dancing so much, so yeah. xD
UGH, I ~completely~ know what you mean about school getting in the way of things. I feel your pain. My best advice is to keep on keepin' on, and to stick it out, because everything in the end will be as it's meant to.
And that's really good that photography and guitar have both been very enjoyable! I'd imagine that they'd both be a very good stress-reliever, especially in terms of school.
And I've been in your same position for fund-raising for church trips. We raised a big portion of the funds for our trip by having a big bake-sale. And this was over the course of three Sundays, I believe. We made a very pretty penny, and it definitely helped us out a lot with our fund. We also found that just putting little signs up in the church lobby and downstairs in the youth group area where the adults come down to eat and mingle with each other really helped, and they would donate to our fund.
I hope you can go on that missions trip!! Lots of love and good vibes coming your way!
And thank you. :3 I hope you have a good day, too!!
