'I enjoy our conversations"
This might be long......

its been a while I suppose, and by a while I mean a few days I mean 2 weeks. Anyways, there was so much that I told myself " put that in your journal" so I am going to try to remember it all. I'll start backwards today, classes were canceled for Presidents Day, so let me say thanks to all those presidents who made this day possible. Tyler has some new music that needs to be heard, so he came over and we spent a majority of the day recording. Once we get finished it should be a really good CD. Sunday was church as usual, since the weather was GORGEOUS, I went for my first BIG run in a while. I went all through the B.H. Neighborhood, than did some cross-training along the woods behind my house. I founs a sweet field with some awesome trails in the woods that make for some excellent running. That was really really nice, I think I got some sun too !!! Went to the night service at church, afterwards hung out with Easton, Axel, Dallas, Andrew, Christy, Tyler (the girl) Jen, and I forget the name of the other girl that was there (as usual). We watched "The Last Samurai" at Christy's house, it was a GREAT movie, the art and discipline of the samurai was truly amazing and inspiring. It reflects a lot on the japanese culture of today which is cool, I wondered why Michikazu is good at what he does, I think the discipline of samurai is still common among the japanese today. We got done the movie at like 2:30 and I headed home. Saturday, I spent the day with Tyler (the guy) at his home in Jeff City, we left springfield at midnight and got to J.C. around 3 am. I met his Costa Rican friends who might get deported which is sad, but it was interesting talking with Marie the daughter, she has been on MTV, CNN, been in magazines, spoken at Capitol Hill, and might soon be on Oprah and or Montell. They have an amazing story and it needs to be heard. Anyways it was fun conversing in spanish with the family and I once again, was so eager to learn since I simply love that culture. Afterwards we went to some thrift stores and I picked up so LP's, thats right records, I like the crackle of records its "vintage" I wish my parents never got rid of our record player, but I am going to start looking for one so I can play them, in the meantime they are serving as great wall decorations...."Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass," Mongo Santamaria,"Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66,"2 (albums) "The NEW Glenn Miller Orchestra in HI FI," (i think that title is funny). We hung out with more of tyler's friends, than left J.C at midnight and got back to Springfield at 3 am. I got more music to learn before I go to rehearsal this weekend, I will hopefully have at least 4 hours in the car to learn it. I know I have more to type, but it's late and I'm tired. Maybe some more tomorrow......

later on
