Aug. 22, 2008 When one isn't bloggin'
(speaking like a well trained speaker)
Well, today I will explain to you why one does not blog more often than every so often.
The ice burg is 100% ice, but we only see about 15% of that ice... and so lately it's the unseen 85% that's been happening. thus not so much blogging...
(feels like the point has been made and resumes regular voice)
I have been working on a master piece [with big meatball eyes and a cheesy smile : ) not really] titled, "THE SWAMP ADVENTURES OF DINO AND JOSH" it is not for the faint of heart... but of course it's not done yet.... Not to mention I'm applying my song to www.fromthetop.org and have been filing out forms like...(thinks)...Like a person who fills forms out... I texted Dad4Him to see if I could hire him. He said," No Way"... Back to the Ice burg. The Ice shelf has not broken off yet, but it's close. then the Ice burg will be afloat with cube after cube of blogging... But not yet, it's not ready. I'm hoping to send the forms today though.
Joke time: What do you get when a Piano falls down a mine shaft?
the answer will be revealed at a later date. thankyou. good bye.

Jul. 25, 2008 The Burnt Pizza
This Is my Friday night dinner... every one else didn't want to eat it so I took the liberty of doing so (inspired by Dino Maisano) and found that it tasted just about like what it looks like... but a little better... like a burnt toast... but pizza... I couldn't let it go to waist...a whole 3-4$ that's like a gallon of gas!

Jul. 25, 2008 Movie Time "The kerosene Bar"
I have found that one of the hardest things in life to overcome is to get in cold water. But recently I've discovered that if I embrace and except the fact that it is going to be cold it's a refreshing time rather than a dreaded chore.
As many know I wrote a music piece for piano and quartet recently where our performances went good(thanks to God), and people liked the song a lot, which is also a plus. Mrs Flecter wants us to record it and send it to "up from the top" so lots more practice.
Faced now with the decision of collage and life (I'll skip the confusing parts, just imagine them) I am confused at what direction to go study etc. Which doesn’t make fore a relaxed, refreshing, peaceful time. It’s at this point I begin to realize life is like jumping, wading into the "cold" water. So, after long talks with my best friend, Jesus,( and my mom) I am making a connection from my head to my heart. Cold water: uncomfortable, but potentially refreshing. Life's transitions and trials: uncomfortable, but potentially rewarding. So instead of being confused with whatever is happing, I will trust in God as I jump into the cold water and find it to be more of an adventure than stressful, and more refreshing than restless. So let's Jump in the water cold or not! Live life as an adventure!
I love swimming, I love Living (this is the rhyme of the day)
James 1:2-8
"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."

Jun. 20, 2008 Writing music
The biggest thing from my perspective lately has been writing a music piece for a piano and string quartet. The best part of it was that( I finished for now: deadlines give me no choice) I didn't really know what I was doing. This was the challenging thing that I determined to do this year... there were many times I thought of a phrase my little sister Abby had said," I don't know what I'm doing but I'm going to do it anyway." After many hours of working, playing, and arranging I showed it to a respected friend of mine. I asked her (Esther Jones) what she thought and she told me. She had good advice and it helped me a lot, but at the time I was at a loss on how to implement it. Up to that point I just had a bunch of song ideas with no real structure or meaning. So time passed and one day I help my friend, Cameron out with some volunteer work at Harmony music school where Mrs. Fletcher was expecting the sheet music seeing how the music festival was only a couple of weeks away. After some conversation I said,"I could have it done tomorrow if I have to", but that didn't happen. That same evening, as I sat down to finish what I wasn't satisfied with. Then God said, "go take a walk”. As I walked and thought of the piece in my head and thought of the advice Esther gave me the piece started to unfold more, but I still didn't know what I was trying to get across. But as I walked Jesus showed me the format which is that of my life from night into day, from before Jesus to knowing Him ... So with this, I will call it the thesis of my piece I finally knew what to do, or write about.
Another day was walking and praying and looking at trees with an overcast sky and thought, "That looks cool." But then the clouds went away and the tree's looked the same in ways but entirely new. And the phrase "From Night into Day" came to mind.
The most amazing thing to me is that Jesus talks to me and as I don't know what to do he says," do this' or " this is what you want to do". So anyways I can say I have the best teacher in the world!

P.S. after the performance I'll probably put a video up.
