A Hankering for Technology

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 14:00:44 -0400

It seems every summer I get a big old taste in my mouth for some new technology. Here’s what I’m thinking (will only happen if I actually have a job this fall):

1. First I’ll get an iMac for home. It’s ridiculous how slow my little MacBook has gotten, I’m hoping if I buy a high powered iMac, it will last me longer. AND LOOK AT HOW PRETTY THEY ARE.

2. For my new iMac, I shall get Finale. And I shall set up a little composing station with my midi keyboard.

3. I will buy whatever new iPhone whenever it’s released. (My contract is already up on my 4s, so I’m ready when they’re ready!) Supposedly around September or October.

4. Finally, I will buy the PS4 whenever it’s released.

Basically, I’m thinking I’ll spend all of my money on games and technology instead of going out to eat and socializing. Yes.

This is the picture I uploaded on FB for Father’s Day. I didn’t post a picture of my mother for Mother’s day - mostly because I was at home visiting her without my computer to post it with. However, I’m still scared that she’ll get mad at me if my dad tells her that I posted a picture of him today (he has a FB, she doesn’t).

I’m actually going to see my dad today - which only poses a dilemma because I only found this out last night and I do not have a present ready for him. So anyway, the actual point of this post is that I had a lot that I wanted to say on Facebook, but for fear of my mother finding out, I wanted to post it here:

Dad, Happy Father’s Day. Thank you so much for what you’ve done for me in the past 22 years: from playing hide and seek with me, taking me to the doctor when I was sick, taking a day off work when I had a half day off from school, bearing the move in silence while the rest of our family cried out so loudly in pain, packing my lunch for me every day, taking me to school every day, sending me off to college - leaving yourself to deal with mom on your own (which I know you were more upset about than you ever showed), helping me pay for college so my burden of student debt isn’t too large, standing up for me on my 19th birthday (Thanksgiving Day) when Mom kept yelling at me all day long because I was so “full of myself” that day, and always being there for me whenever I need my stuff moved around the state (including today). I wish that in return, for everything that you’ve ever done for me, that I could some how give you the strength you need to deal with everything right now. I know that you’re upset because your mother is dying, and that it’s easy to take it personally because she doesn’t feel like staying around for you. I know you feel like you haven’t spent enough time with her since we moved so far away and that somehow all of this is your fault - that maybe she wouldn’t have fallen in the shower had you just been in the same state instead of on the opposite side of the country. I know that you don’t like dealing with my mother on your own. I know that me moving back home right now would do you a lot of good, but I also know that you know I can’t force myself to do that and get screamed at by my mother every day once again. I know that you feel betrayed by your aging body and that you’re scared that your time will come to an end all too quickly. I know that this is what you think even though we’ve never talked about it. I can feel the pain that you suffer from and have suffered from every day and I want to help make it go away - I just don’t know how. So please know that I’m there for you whenever you do feel like talking. Know that I love you and you’ve always meant the world to me, despite all of our flaws.

Band Camp - the first morning

Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:02:23 -0400

At this point, I’m not exhausted enough to fall back asleep after I wake up an hour early to do wake up knocks on the hall.

Today is also the day that I have to get the most work done, seeing as there’s still a ton of copies to be made. If I’m lucky I might get a break around 2:30, but I doubt it.

In more awesome news, Hicken can’t make the top band’s rehearsal on Thursday, so he’s asked me to conduct! That should be exciting…

I’m considering applying to the elementary music jobs in my new home county.

I absolutely refuse to go back to the county where my parents live after recent events.

Elementary wouldn’t be ideal, but staying here would…

uh guys

what’s that third option again?

That’s what I call it (The Devil is beating his wife)…my dad used to say it all the time and now…well it kinda stuck with me :|

RHODE ISLAND ALSO USES THE TERM BUBBLER?!?

Also, if you want to know why my accent is so screwed up. Now you know. Wisconsin and South Carolina almost pronounce everything completely opposite of each other.
