Thanksgiving and the pit

Ok so I'm playing guitar in pit for "The Me Nobody Knows" over at Highland Park High School. It's a show about kids, high school students, written entirely by the students at HP, less the music. Think of it as a ghetto "Rent." The last performance is on Monday and it's been a really good time. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I only have about 5 things I'm going to. My mom is making dinner on Wednesday for my immediate family, I'm eating with my dad's folks Thursday morning, going to my mom's extended family's thing Friday afternoon, and my fiance's mom's family's thing on Thursday evening. THEN we're going to Wichita sometime that weekend for my fiance's dad's family's stuff. Should be fun and lots of good food. Just wanted to update. Everyone have a good break!

A Song

In lieu of my usual content on here, I've decided to post some of the lyrics for this new song I'm writing.

You said you'd try, you said you'd never leave
You said goodbye and now you're leaving me
Just so you know, before you go
You left the note you're walkin' out the door
Can't do this anymore
You could say the world would end outloud
I've figured you out

That's the chorus, I'm not really sure where to go after that.

So Excited

On Friday I will be flying to San Diego to see my step-sister get married. I'm so excited about this because I haven't been back there in over 4 years and I miss all my family so much. It's so strange to think that my step-sister is getting married too. My real sister just got married a year and a half ago, and she's getting married next. I'm always the last to do everything. But serioulsy, time flys by way to fast. I feel good about it though because my fiance and my sister's husband are going with us and neither one of them have been to San Diego. My sister and I delight in giving tours are friggin' hilarious together. My whole family is usually a pretty good time. My step-sister is getting married outside at a park by the beach and then she's having a reception at the Marriott downtown. It's going to be really fancy but it sounds like she's happy. I've only met her fiance once about three years ago but he seems like a nice guy. He's a typical "so-cal" dude. Good looking, spiked hair, speaks with the whole surfer accent, and rides motorcycles. I guess he would be my step-brother-in-law. I'd like to see that birthday card at Hallmark. We're only going to be gone until Sunday but who cares, I so rarely get to see my family out there and have a vacation to. This will be the first time I've left the Midwest in four years. I'm not complaining.

The Best News Ever

Yesterday morning as I was sound asleep, my cell phone rang at 7:45 AM and it was my girlfriend. I was thinking, "Oh great something bad has happened." I answered the phone and before I could get the word "hello" out of my mouth she says to me, "Baby sorry to wake you but I just heard on the radio that Angels and Airwaves is coming to KC next month. Tickets go on sale this morning." "Ok" I said. "Thanks" I hung up and thought, " That's why I love this woman." Rolling out of bed I started freaking out and rushed over to my computer to buy the tickets at 8:00 in the morining. You see Angels and Airwaves is the new band for the former guitarist for Blink 182. I was a HUGE fan of blink from like middle school on. I saw them three tmes, went to San Diego where they're from and went to their favorite mexican restaurant. I play their guitarist's signtaure guitar. When they broke up last year, I can honestly say part of me died and I cried, yes, I cried like a little girl.
Since then I haven't seen Tom Delonge, the guitar player I love, for like 2 and half years. This guy is one of my idols and i'm so excited to go and see his new band. That weekend is going to be crazt busy. Friday is graduation, Saturday is the show, and then Sunday I have family stuff and a show that night for my own band. It really be the culmination of my life to this point.
