well i am now only two months away from creation. and even though it may sound like a lot of work for time off, try my office job for a day and yo will see through my eyes. well my bcg life is rounding around the last half, hopefully the summer will pass quickly

*Creation insert*

lets see my schedual for creation. i leave my house around 10 or 11 am on thurday the 21st of june, drive to litiz, pa, and take tour of Clair Bros. talk to some guys then head back on the road. drive another 2 something hours and arrive somewhere close to shirlesburg, and spend my last comfortable night in a hotel. wake up around 6 pack and head to the festival sight. then do my thing there for 10 or 11 days, monday afternoon, head back to hotel to get some much needed sleep, tuesday morning, head home. wednessday=4th of july. total about 2 weeks, sounds pretty good to me.

59 days and counting.

hey does anyone want to go on a trip, well today we are going to Florida, i hear that is is nice. and why are we going to Florida. well on my agenda is first to visit full sail, since i am considering funding my education there, and see some old friends that i miss, but this picture trip will consist of only getting to full sail. are you ready? well lets go

Trip*

First off we have all of the happy people that will be coming on board my flight, oh look at the excitement as we hear about our hour dfellow plane peopleelay

next we have my chariot or airplane as the masses have come to call it, the colors remind me of southwest airline, huh funny thought

airplane

lets see, well i am on a plane which might go over water so i think i will pay attention right here, so if you will excuse me

safety first

well the full flight was pretty crammed, and about half through it i was getting anncy, because i  was tired and in the middle seat, put it all together = no comfort. here is a shot of the crammness

flight people

well finial we landed and it was dark, so taking pictures was kind of hard giving my tired mood and in need of a hotel bad, so this next shot was taken after a few good hours of sleep on my way to find the school named full sail, look a pictureof the Orlando skyline

ahh well i loved the visit to Florida, and thank you for coming with me. i am planning on getting a camera to share more of my adventures once i attend, but that is on the bottom of the list of expensive purchases i have to make just to go to school, but i will figure something out.

*the wanting an easier way to post pictures and tired*

Well I have returned from my 54 hour visit to Florida, and I loved every second of it. First on Saturday it was a beautiful 90 sunny day, which I haven’t seen since august, and now in April I spent mine in Florida at the Loveland household. They have a sweet house too. It was cool to hang out with Maury and Cody, since I haven’t hung out with them since oh I don’t know since summer of 2002, so that was pretty cool. Ah then on Sunday the rain came down, for an hour, but it poured a wall of water. But the whole reason I went down there is to visit Full Sail

*Full Sail*

I was going to base my decision mainly on how much they were going to teach me that I didn’t already know, and it was a lot, see just because I have worked in the booth for almost 6 years I still claim to know just about nothing. And I want to change that, which is why I have finalized my decision and will be going to full sail. I can’t wait. the only news I was iffy about was that it is a 24/7 school, to explain, the max lecture size class is 30-1 ratio, for lab the ratio is 6-1, but everyone does the same lab the same day, something didn’t seem right until it was explained, that the schedule goes something like, lecture is always from 8-12, and labs go from 12pm-4pm, 4pm-8pm, 8pm-12am, 12am-4am, 4am-8am. And I said excuse me (in my head). So besides that one small detail, it all works out. I also have to maintain a healthy lifestyle, getting enough sleep even if it’s during daylight, eating better so I don’t get out of shape, and finding personal devotion and church time, since some labs fall on weekends and during church, but it will all work out.

*pointless*

So I wanted to take pictures of my adventures, and I did but they were only while I was in the car or airport. thank you Chris for letting me borrow your camera, but this is why I want to get a slim digital, because one can only take pictures if one is holding a camera, since this one did not fit in my pocket and I did not want to heave around a camera bag all day, I only took pictures of my airplane, and of the Orlando skyline= not what I meant to take pictures of. oh well, hopefully I can purchase my own slim camera before I go there to school, this way I can actually show pictures.
Wouldn’t that be something?

So here I am back in jersey sitting at my desk, wish for august to come. Oh please come fast

well i think i am more exited about leaving new jersey for a few days then i am about actually going to florida, i dont know why. well anyway yes in less then 36 hours of writing this i will be in sunny florida soaking up 90 degree sun, chilling with josh matt and the lovelands. then on sunday visit the school that will eat a lot of money. then its decision time. i am really big on first impressions. thats what made me choose Evangel at first, i visited, had the time of my life for about 3 days, then ended up going there for a semester. only mistake i had was the fact that i knew they didnt have my major. i decided to go anyway

well for that decision i am sitting here in an office prison for a couple more months, i still have florida, then in 2 months and some days thrown in i will have 12 days at creation, then in the middle of august going to chicago for a week, then off to minnapolis. then if everything stays on course drive to florida for school. thats a chunk of my major schedule with many variables attached, but its what i am aiming for.

well an energy sobe is going to help me get through the grueling morning hours here at BCG. hopefully these nexttwo days will go by fast and i can be in florida in no time.

well the shows are finished, and the rentals are returned and the trash is piled up. that is right all that is left is cleaning up and putting everything away. this year was my favorite, well it seems that each year gets better and better. i had a lot of fun. staying up late, going out to eat, going to wawa every night. yup that’s the good stuff.

now i wait three days until i fly away to Florida, oh i cannot wait. three days in sunny Florida. nice break after a month of shows and rehearsals. and i only have 72 days until creation. nothing like two weeks in agape farm working with bands like relient k, newsboys, Dave crowder, skillet, switchfoot, kutless. and i will be working. so heres a funny story, as i am scheduling my hours, i noticed that the time for all of the headliners was empty. i wondered i thought this time slot would be full and i would have to work during the lesser bands. why. i was so happy to find out that i could work with the above bands, everyone else working, wanted to watch those bands, i want to work with the crazy big bands. not that i am star struck, but because they have the coolest gear, and run like a well oiled machine making everything perfect.

so there was a nice ramble about me waiting for creation fest.  well here i sit for another three days at my office job.

today, tuesday april 3, is the second of a whole two days off for me, and they feel great, on day off number 1 it was my fathers bday, and he took off of work, as did i, so around 11 when i woke up i treated him to some lunch, after lunch i fell back asleep until 3, movie from 4-6, computer from 6-9, then 24, and then numb3rs, then bed. it was needed and felt great. now on day two, i am sitting in an office jail, awaiting my guard to give my some duties so i can earn my valuable pieces of paper. but there is always the exit door that i happen to love walking out of, and when i do later on today, i will go home and relax once more. why will i relax once more you might ask, because wednesday starts our last leg of productions, 7 in five days, so i will not be rested until monday, my next day off. ]
