Rockin' Eve

First, I have to say it's not much of a rockin' eve if you are watching Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest. So far I've had a good New Years. Hanging out with the family. Kicking butt in Taboo. I also got a harmonica today. I can already hold it right and blow single notes (using the pucker method). I want to get good, so I can play for money in public areas. First I'll learn some rhythms, so I can showboat it till I learn some Dylan and Young. I want to play:

Heart of Gold... well the whole Neil Young Harvest Album.

These Dylan songs:
I Want You
Man of Constant Sorrow
Don't Think Twice, It's Alright
Tangled Up in Blue
I Don't Believe You(She Acts Like We Never Have Met)
Just Like A Woman
Catch the Wind
Hurricane


I'm planning on getting a Dylan Harmonica music book from Amazon. So my first New Year's Resolution is to spen 08 sharpening my harmonica skills.

I'm also going to blog here every day like I promised. unless I have a valid excuse.

Then theres the All A's resolution. No B's this time. Just A's.

Exercise so if I get the camping job I can hike without whining. I can hike. I just haven't worked out in a while. I also want to climb the top of the rock wall in the fitness center.

Lastly, I want to become more fiscally responsible.


Have a Rockin'Eve

Marriage?!

At this age I still think of marriage as something you do when you grow up(fiscally) or that might happen someday. I am almost 20 years old and it hasn't occurred to me that it isn't completely weird that some of my friends are getting married and some of them have already have kids. Oh yes, I too can get married. It's also difficult for me to relate with people who are going through marriage or have kids because it's not something you can completely understand from speculation. I've never been in love, so I don't understand why people get excited about being married early in life. I also have issues reacting to people being pregnant. It's always seemed like a negative thing. Someone could be happy about and I wouldn't want to be the one to say, "Oh, that's horrible." I also feel young and old at the same time. I feel young because I'm not going through any of it. Then old because people my age and younger are. Britney Spear's little sister is pregnant and she's 15. All I have to say is The times they are a'changin'...

Filling you in.

Dear Faithful Readers,

I am sorry that I don't write in my daily blog... daily. You may not believe me but I have things to do too. Like being sick. I have Bronchitis and will be finished with antibiotics in 2 days. I thought only smokers got bronchitis. This is besides the point. I have downloaded some news songs. I feel that I should let you know which songs and why.

I got a few songs from John Lennon(The Plastic Ono Band)'s Shaved Fish album. Because I got the original record for Christmas. My Big sister is amazing. I previously almost had all the songs except:

Whatever Gets You Through the Night
Cold Turkey
& Number 9 Dream

I was also downloading some Christmas songs by Frank Sinatra earlier and treated myself to "Come Fly With Me". It's a classic. I will probably put it on a mix for my Big sister when she goes back to Indianapolis.

Around Christmas I downloaded "Little Saint Nick" by The Beach Boys because it's in the Coke commercial with the penguins and polar bears. That commercial brainwashed me into drinking Coke instead of coffee during the holidays and into getting the song. Now I have to go back to my Pepsi only school. I hate Pepsi and know the difference.

This next one is kind of embarrassing. I downloaded "Ready, Set, Don't Go" By Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus. Whatever, It's a good song. And I only know because of Oprah...
Hey! At least, I don't read the same books or I pick off the O sticker.

The next one is "King of the Rodeo" by Kings of Leon. They're from Nashville.

Someone downloaded "Another Night" by Real McCoy. It was not me. It's a cheesy 90s dance song that everyone would remember if they looked it up. Please look into it. I also hope your speakers are on and someone is in the room when you do it. They might worry about you.


Hmm. What else. I got a flat Ocean water from Sonic the other day and it was too late to exchange by the time I sipped it. I really want another one to make up for that one.

I also learned that your organs and brain will not cook themselves if you have a fever and don't make yourself cold. It's an old wives tale. Thank you Google. I am also living proof.

It would be amazing if Barack Obama ran with John Edwards...

Okay I'm done with this.

Till the New Year... 2008

50.

After taking an oath to provide my meta-audience with a daily blog, I got "too busy" to blog every day. So I figure my New Year's resolution will be to pick the blog back up in full force.

Let's see... A lot has gone on. I'm done with my first semester as a Sophomore. I am taking 18 hours next semester. All my classes are at 8 and 9 in the morning... which means I need to be up at least an hour in advance. I'm going to have to figure out a caffeine or sleeping situation. Because I need to be up before then and actually get ready. Most of them are back to back till 2pm. I ca not afford to cheat and wear pj's or sweats to class and be stuck that way. I'll look like a crack head.

I finally dyed my hair back to dark brown. It had reddish tones from the sun. Now I look normal.

I decided that I want to be a camp counselor this summer in the Redwoods. So far things are working out. No dead ends. It will help me out very much fiscally and i will get to travel. Plus I will get to do something I love. I have always wanted to be a camp counselor. It will be almost 2 months. The camp has a conservative dress code, so I'll be fine because I don't dress tastelessly. I really want to teach Arts & Crafts. I could teach kids how to make a bird house out of Popsicle sticks, send a message in a bottle, make a hand turkey, or make a crayon relief of a leaf.
