new strings

So I got a new guitar, finally. I can finally not have to cringe everytime I take out my 250 dollars epiphone that I bought 6 years ago. I bought a 72 telecaster reissue (shout out to jays tele) off ebay and it is a thing of beauty and class. I was kinda pissed because the guy who sent to me never took the plastic covering off the pickguard and when he took it off to ship to me, it was all silly sticky so ive had to unscrew things and clean and wax, but its good quality Guitar and Me time. Im excited to play it at a show, but of course we do not have one for another 2 months- dumb intestines.

As most of you know I am student teaching this semester and it has been pretty crazy so far. The first week and a half, I was quietly thinking to my self that these emotionally distrurbed kids were not that bad and that my class was great. Well that soon changed, and since then there has been the most violent incidentst and the most restraints the school has ever had in a certain time period. It has been pretty crazy but definitely fun, and a valuable experience. I actually got permission to remain in the same school instead of switching half way like most student teachers have to do because im so good- what can i say, im a natural. (go ahead, roll your eyes.).

we have a 2 month break, WTF am i going to do? i am def guna try to spend more time with some of the friends i have here at college before we part at graduation....eeek.

cruise this weekend...waterslide bitches.

bye bye subaru

So today I went in to student teaching and the kids were pretty crazy. Some kids ran from the classroom and it was just a mess. I really kind of just sat around all day. I ran one lesson doing math word problems and thats it. My teacher gave me my evaluation. She said a lot of nice things and put a lot of confidence in my ability to become a teacher, eventually. It is really awkward for me to tell people about what I plan to do after graduation. I think i might just start saying that I am going to be looking for a job instead of having to explain the band, what we do, where we go, what I play, if we get paid, why we dont get paid, how im going to pay my bills and then after all that have them say "well thats exciting". yeh...its also hard.

I said a sort of goodbye to a big part of my life today....my gold Subaru Forrester. Although it is still parked in my parking lot at school with my license plates on and some old cds still hanging on for dear life, I signed the paperwork today so that the car will officially not be mine on Sunday and will belong to the kind flatbrimmed hat wearing gentleman who payed me 1400 dollars. WOOO. I actually need to go clean the rest of the car out as I will be leaving asap after school tomorrow to get home and play a show.

In the good news department, i bought a guitar the other day. It was kind of buy mistake but I am glad it happened. I bid on the guitar on Ebay for the thrill of bidding. I bid at a price that i thought would be a good price to get the guitar even though I really did not have the money for the guitar. Completely forgetting about the auction, i got home and realized i won. I was happy thought because it is definitely the guitar i want. It is a Wine Red 72 Telecaster Reissue. humbuckers <3. I am completely stoked to get the guitar.

im glad im blogging again

If you fear change, give it to me

I'm poor and I just bought a guitar so im saving up.

why is everyone so scared of change? change happens. think of what we would be like without change whether it be big or small. sometimes you have to take some leaps, have some faith, and just let your belief in yourself and others carry you through.

ps. this was not about money

im back....hopefully
