more cultural learnings

so this week has been interesting. on wednesday, i had training in brentwood, and holy cow there are some humongous houses out there. i saw one and thought for sure it was like a nice country club clubhouse. no, someone lives there. it has its own pool and tennis court. so yeah, i don't know how anyone has that much money or how they spend that much on a house.

and then today i went with half of the 3rd grade on a field trip to the country music hall of fame. they have a ray charles exhibit there, complete with quite possibly the most ironic thing i've seen in a while: a braille playboy. that's right. my group's chaperones were all dads so we got a big kick out of it. one dad said "that'd be the only playboy my wife would let me read." another said "i guess he had to read it for the articles."

and tonight i've been fascinated with wart freezing stuff. if it wasn't so dang expensive, i might see how deep i could freeze a grape or something.

i'm a dork and need to go to sleep.

christie's dad died tuesday night, so megan and i are leaving right after school to go to the visitation. sad stuff.

new song - baby back

"baby back"
well you ain't a cowgirl but you sure look corn-fed
when you walk by it does a number on my head
in your tight jeans and my old faded baseball cap
then you looked me in the eye and you told me you want me
i stared right back and i told you you're crazy
girls like you never ever call me baby back

but who am i to question
this infatuation
this amazing situation
please don't pinch me when you call me baby back

well a girl like you sounds too good to be true
never dreamed i'd get along with someone like we do
never had a connection quite like this and that's a fact
i find myself stumbling over the words that i say
never met someone who makes me feel quite this way
please don't ever stop calling me baby back

i'm not gonna question
this infatuation
this amazing situation
please don't pinch me when you call me baby back

i'm not gonna question
this infatuation
this amazing situation
please don't pinch me when you call me baby back

i won't wake up when you call me baby back

another travelin' song

so it's spring break and i'm being a bum and haven't even packed to go home yet. i'll probably go tomorrow. all i've done is indulge myself in music and it feels great. i wrote a new song and half of 2 others which you'll get to check out on myspace soon.

i've been experiencing mute math, because that's what you do with them. you don't listen. they take you places. i love that. thanks jb.

i just bought bright eyes tickets (ryman may 19th)!

hey there spring break

definitely going to enjoy the next week of doing NOTHING.

self deprication

holy cow it's funny to look back on how dumb i used to be. how dumb i still am. i've been struggling with the same things since i started "blogging" on livejournal. i still complained about girls, sin, and pursuing my music dreams. i did write some good song lyrics though. it's too bad i can't remember the guitar parts or melodies.

i hope i'm more humble than i used to be. i said some pretty cocky stuff in those posts. maybe i miss that confidence. i'm sure a lot of it was to be funny, but you can't hear tone of voice in a blog.

i grew up a little when i got a xanga account. but i still had a lot of the same problems. it's fun to read about blue as a puppy.

borat comes out on dvd tomorrow. that's how i will spend my evening. =)

mitch hedberg

so i know i'm a nerd, but this guy's second only to bill cosby as far as funniest in my book. too bad drugs got in his way.
