I finally learned how to play "Apologize" by One Republic on piano! :D I LOVE that song and have always wanted to learn how to play it. Finally found a good enough tutorial (I REALLY need to learn how to read sheet music), and just played by ear after that. It's awesome. I want to learn to play other songs now. If only I could figure out that one song that's giving me trouble....
This week is my trip up to north Texas. I haven't been up that way in forever. Everyone is getting excited. I have to start planning and getting everything together. Those who know me well know that it's a process for me (haha).
Short update tonight because I'm so excited I finally learned that song after all this time...it was more simple than I thought! :D If I didn't have to get up early for work in the morning, I'd definitely be staying up to play some more! I'm going to sleep on a good note. Goodnight!

Happy Father's Day :D
Music: News
9:49p
Hope all the dads had a great Father's Day! I know mine did. :D He took the day off today, and I took over doing the laundry (which I didn't mind!), and the dishes. I ended up with today off because of yet another screw-up with my schedule at work. I was off last Monday/Tuesday, and was scheduled to work 8 days straight after that, which made me mad. I was given this coming Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (the latter two which I requested so I can go on my trip) off. I didn't need Thursday off, so one of my co-workers traded with me, so I work Thursday, and was off today. :)
My dad and I watched the race from Michigan together, which was altogether boring, and frustrating with all the commercials (damn you to Hell, TNT!! GRRR). I could tell you about the new motor oil, and what kind of Nugget sauces McDonald's has, but couldn't tell you what happened in the race. Nope. Wish the coverage would stay on FOX all year, but yeah, football and all that other shit I don't watch. :(
After the race, I went to Whataburger and bought my dad and I lunch. Came home and ate and watched some True Blood, though I started watching in the middle, and had no idea who anyone was or what was going on...it's frustrating when they don't really stick to the books. I thought Laffayette died?!
I started messing around with my keyboard again last night...was fun because it had been so long since I'd last played. I'm trying to pick up One Republic's "Apologize" again, as I had tried to learn it before, but just kinda strayed away from it. Trying to learn how to play in general, just because I love it, and if I do in fact make up my mind to pursue music again in college, I'll have had a refresher. :)
I stayed up until almost 3:30 this morning, talking to Daniel, J.R., and Jonathan; playing the keyboard, and just not ready to go to sleep. Was just wired, I guess.
Well, that's all for now, next week will be busy getting everything ready for the weekend. Will update again soon. Peace.

*blows the title box to hell*
Music: Family Guy
10:44pm
I had the day off today. It was nice. Talking to a friend on Facebook last night, I realized I had the whole night ahead of me to do whatever. So instead of being bored on the computer all night long, I instead did something I haven't done in a while: read. I started reading Breaking Dawn again. It's one of my favorites in the Twilight series. Not only that, but it will give me a chance to catch up on all the characters and different covens before the movie comes out. There's so many vamps/covens! I went to sleep not long after that.
I woke up this morning and just lay in bed for a while..how nice to not have to worry about the alarm going off! After a quick shower, I had breakfast and proceeded to try to clean up my bathroom. Amy messaged me and asked if I was working, and if I wasn't, did I want to go to lunch. I said yes, so she came and picked me up. We decided on Iggy's (where else do we go? lol). She bought lunch, and I bought drinks (pina colada for me and margarita for Amy yummy!), and we chatted and brought each other up to date on all the recent events. Still haven't found a hotel yet for our trip, hoping they find one soon, because the trip is the week after next. I'm so excited. :D
We finished lunch and came back, stopping at a couple of garage sales on the way. One lady recognized me from work, it was funny. We didn't stay long because it was so freaking hot outside (summers in Texas SUCK). She dropped me off and headed out to see her daughter. I curled up on my bed and watched the Smallville finale, and napped a bit. Tried to play Angry Birds again after that, but I'm getting real frustrated with level 5! I can't pass it for the life of me, no matter what I do. I need some pointers! Gave up on that and settled down and watched Flashpoint. Ate dinner and read some more BD. Now I'm waiting on the crazy idiot neighbors to finish up their drinking party so I can get some sleep. It was a good day off. :)
Hope the weekend goes by fast so I can get to Sunday night. I'm off Monday and Tuesday (wow, I must have done something good to get two days off--in a row). I'm trying to make plans and utilize the time.
Will update when more interesting stuff happens...goodnight.
