itunes and stuff

So I just found out this week that my music is gonna be on itunes thanks to cdbaby.com (online independent music distributor).
I have no idea when it will be up in the U.S., but from what I've been told the cd is available on itunes overseas so it should be in a few weeks...I'll put something up about it. Regardless, I keep realizing how truly blessed I am; through the people I've met in the past couple of years and the steps that have been made. I'm tempted to use the word "connections" but I don't like to think of friendships in that manner because it means that you've found a resource and not a friend; and I'd rather have friends than resources. I don't want to be something that someone can use for their benefit and I don't want to use others for mine. The only way I can actually do that is by trying my best to do what benefits the kingdom of heaven the most...and when I sit back and read that all I can really think is that this is gonna hurt. And I hate that, but it is true. I've lost more friendships, had more dissapointments, and have lost more people that I had held close to my heart in the past year than I can ever remember. This is not easy it will never be... and that's so ok with me right now.

I hate math

So I'm waiting on my teacher to arrive for her office hours for my statistics course. We have to fix the problems on our the exam we just took that we missed. She gave us a study guide which I completely followed. I was assuming that if it was truly a guide concerning what I should study in order to do well on the exam....then I should do well on the exam. So there were problems that weren't mentioned in the guide and I can't find an example of them in the book. It should be noted that I have a history of being bad at math and that I hate numbers. I can do geometry pretty well for some reason but when it comes to mathematical concepts that I will never have a desire to use I tend to have trouble. So anything involving algebra, statistics, calculus etc, I can't do very well. I don't think that its due to a lack of intelligence, but more so due to the fact that no one explains the simple things that I need to hear anymore. Everyone just assumes everyone knows it. Well I don't so teach me everything. Tell me what this greek symbol means cause it doesn't apply to my world today until you do so. Teach me and I will learn, until then I will continue to hate math and the people who have failed to teach me it in a decent manner. Which would be all but one teacher in my entire life. I don't really hate them...but they should probably find a new job cause they aren't doing the one they have now. The end

today

So today I went to the Clemson/UNC game at Clemson. UNC is bad. really bad. But Alabama lost and that made the day great. I'm really red now, I've always known that my pale skin and bright sunlight doesn't mix well, but I always feel like there might be a day that it won't matter. This is just wishful thinking and purely idiotic.

Greg and I played at the Edgar's Underground open mic night they have on wednesday's at Clemson last night and it went very well. We sold a couple cds, had a decent size crowd of friends, and caught the attention of some people who were just there playing pool. The last point is the most encouraging to me...once you can take someone's attention away from something they're participating in or doing, then you know that you're getting through to them...which is the goal so that's good. Greg, and I and possibly Blake will be back probably next week (don't know what time yet)...so it will be a full band show. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

God at work

So a lot of times I get down cause I don't see things going anywhere...in reality they are, maybe not at the rapid rate I would like them to, but things are moving. I forget this a lot, and have to kind of stop and think where I am, where I've been, and where I'm going. As long as someone is being touched by the music I make, then I'm completely satisfied with where I'm at right now. I would love for it to be more people, but given the difficulties in getting music out to a large audience without a major budget, those I've reached for now are more than enough. I'm confident that more people will be reached through my music than I can ever imagine, and I'm excited about the possibilities. God is everywhere, always.

Gameday

So I'm going to my first Clemson game as a student and I'm probably the worst fan ever. Transferring from Auburn has caused me to not care about Clemson football to much. I still support the team, but if we lost I would not be upset. That's about all I'm gonna say on it. Maybe if we win against a decent team I'll get into it. War Eagle.
