MY WEEK OFF

I went to bed @ 3:30am last night & woke up @ 8:40am this morning & couldn't fall back to sleep...Figures...I attribute it to my mind racing on the events of my week off.

The beginning of the week started off on a somber note. Some of my friends had to deal w/loss of a loved one. Thanks to anyone who prayed. I was able to help out a little by cleaning house & babysitting. See? God knew! I stayed here in town for a reason, or something...I spent much of the middle of the week @ the park & @ Springfield Music. One of my close friends works there & now that I know how to play guitar, I go in & do it. It's nice. I spent over an hour there on both Wednesday & Friday. I played a guitar that cost somewhere in the range of $1799 or something. I'm afraid to touch anything more expensive than that...Yikes!

The ironic thing about the week is that I got to hang out w/friends more than usual, though the majority of my friends left town for Springbreak. A pleasant surprise is the fact that Janae came back to town unexpectedly from Connecticut. Very happy about that!

The reason I was up so late last night is b/c after Janae & I got back to my place after the Davis's @ 2:30am, we started messing around w/my Heart's Greatest Hits music book. Yeah, it was real fun. We're nuts, especially in the middle of the night w/a guitar & a keyboard.

I polished my guitar yesterday. I'd never done anything like that before. It was very gratifying. I've decided that I like the back of my guitar best b/c it sparkles. I never knew this. (Janae gave me this guitar b/c she's freakin' awesome! The guitar has been unofficially a part of my life for the past six years or so, I never looked @ the back of it...) I also attempted to transpose some music b/c I'm trying to not use a capo if it's really not necessary. Some of the songs worked & some didn't, so my friend Alan gave me like an hour crash-course lesson in music theory last night. Yeah, my brain still hurts. I get it a little more now.

I also started another Myspace page. (Talk about being a nerd!) Come & join if you want! It's called "Friday Night @ the Davis's!" Everyone comes, all the time...We're always ushering newbies in. There was a girl there last night that I'd never met before...It's the best place to be on a Friday night...Of course, unless you are somewhere else...

That's my week. Full of surprises. Now it's over & my roomies are coming home today. I'm ready for 'em. I've missed them much! (You know, like Janet Jackson? "Miss You Much?"...Never-mind.)
