keep it up?

So it's 8'05AM and I like to write and type and I'd like to get better at typing without looking at the keyboard, a talent I admire in others and never really wanted to learn when it was being taught to me but now I feel this whim of wanting to keep up with this blog may help me develop these typing skills. I feel like I'm just guessing when I type for the most part because I never got with that whole home row thing. But I think I may be ready to come home. If I could find a simple little typing program...geez I think this blog will be very boring to some. But carrying on... Here's some stuff I've been up to recently: For the fourth I met up with Ryan and friends over at Jeff Harvey's house and we went and watched what felt like the longest fireworks show ever. There was a finale burst at first, then a long period of singles and doubles, then a mid-nale, then more slow singles and doubles, then a second mid-nale, then even more slow singles and doubles, then the finale fianle. Wow, yeah. I wisht they would have just done all of them at once in one huge finale. Oh, then I set off some black cats in Jeff's backyard, which was more fun than the whole fireworks show. 

 

 Summer is good for weddings I guess, because Crystal, Ryan, and now I have all taken part in these celebrations of wed, all in the span of a couple weeks. My neighbor across the street who I've known basically forever tied the knot in Wichita. It was nice, a small gathering, and concise ceremony, then we all got really loose and crazy on the dance floor to songs like "Cotton-Eyed Joe," "The Electric Slide," and "The Chicken Dance" after chugging lemonade and sparkling grape juice. Fun in a this reminds me of a highschool dance scene but everyone only knows 1/4 of the people and I'll probly never see the other 3/4 again so who cares if I embarrass myself a little bit, it's all cheesy and endearing.

 

 Also, this really nice guy Randy let me borrow his sampler that I've been playing with all day today. I actually skipped work for the third time since I started a few weeks ago, but they haven't seemed to notice, they are so laid back about everything. I really should be working though because I want money to pay for my semester in the dorm and then my time I would soooo love to spend in California after I get done graji-ated. So tomorrow I'm working, celebrating my sis's berfday, then tomorrows I'm organizing for next semester and probly going to play some drum in Westport again soon. I think I'm going to the Pitchfork music festival at the end of the month too.

Nocturnal and underground

This is the first blog for me on this here new piece o' web real estate. It's gonna be short and sweet because I really just want to comment on my friend Jen's spot. But I thought I would let everyone out there reading this (*crickets sounds*) know that I am going to the Subterranean Art Show held in the tunnel that connects the Union and the Spencer Art Museum. Yes, there is a tunnel that connects the Union and the Spencer!! It's awesome, although I've never been to it I know it will be awesome. It is underground! And it reminds me of an idea that me and my best friend in my early pubescent years had.....to build a tunnel connecting our two houses with a spot in the middle for a studio/practice room where we could play our protopunk/punk/post-punk/shoegazer/experimental/improv music and not have parental units crashing the party. So this is going to be like half-realizing a dream for me tonite. Anyways, hope to see you there.
