Well, this post is actually going to be a thoughtful entry.

My teachers are excentric and I love it. I have an 8:00am Design II class, and the first day of class was interesting. We did the usual: name, grade, etc...but then we had to tell something that we wanted to do...and I just said I wanted to be excentric. He asked why, and I replied, "because its fun." He continued to go around the room and all the other students answered his questions. I sat there in shock. Whenever i'm in shock my mind starts racing: How many students will graduate, get that 9 to 5 job, have that perfect spouse, live in suburbia, with 2.5 kids, a dog and a cat, the white picket fence...and the list goes on...what a borring existance. It made me think...I don't want that 9-5 job with that hour lunch break...I want to travel and live life to its ultimate fullest! I made a second realization today in that same class. We were watching a movie about a famous artist...the one who invented the mobil. Well, they mentioned in the movie that the older this guy got the more excentric he got. He, evidentally, had a bright orange bike and wore gray nicker-bockers and long orange socks...while riding around Paris in the 1920s. I thought that was the coolest thing ever! I then realized...i'm excentric...i'm excentric beyond all belief. I made the consious decision about a week ago to be completely excentric....to not care about anything else except having fun and enjoying life. Isn't that how everybody should live? I think so, but i believe that we all loose sight of that. We loose sight of being human. I have decided...i want to do something with my art that nobody has ever done before. Something that will change the face of the art world...once again!

The Dead Artist

My arbituary...its kinda fitting and borring in a way. I don't know whether to laugh or cry just purely on the fact that...it fits and its plain! I don't want to die a plain death...or maybe i do...*shrugs*

'What will your obituary say?' at QuizGalaxy.com

Starting the Grinder

yes well, school starts tomorrow, and my schedule is horrible...absolutely horrible. but what can I say? *shrugs* yep, that's about it. I'm not quite sure what i'm going to do between classes yet but i'll figure something out.

So the band..."Four and a Half Year Crusade"...well the band name will probally change but that's ok. We've been jamming seriously lately and we've been developing at least two good songs so far. We now have several serious members: Me on flute, Derek on electric and bass, PJ on electric and drums, Brian on electric, Cat on keyboard, and Fisayo on drums. Its exciting...i can't wait to get a good recording of the new stuff and put it up on myspace. It will be exciting. Cat and I are thinking about doing some personal recordings of just her and me, and she and I will have our own myspace account. *shrugs* we'll see.

I need to memorize my marching music...bleh...i'll do it tomorrow? or at least cram for it. tomorrow.

I should be talking about something inspiring, but i'm not...maybe tomorrow.

Hey Lucy

Five Cent Stand...goin' on tour!!!

Goin' Goin' Gone

Well, i've been back in the dorms for afew days now and i've started band rehursal. I really want to say alot of things right now, but i'm so exausted i can't remember them all. Well, marching band is ok. Tyler and I made the band again this year...and let me tell you that the entire process was quite interesting. I've learned that I can't say anything bad about the band publicly...so i'm having to keep my mouth shut. Anywhos, we have a male piccilo player now...and he's so cool. He and I are sharing a spot in the drill. He's a really cool guy. We go out for lunch and whatnot, and we talk about alot of different thinks, like: traveling, people, etc. I find it interesting that he and I have alot of the same views and observances about other people. Now, he plays for the other team, but i think that is what makes him so unique and awsome. He really is one of the most intersting people that i have me in Lubbock so far! I love hanging out with him. He's a sweetheart. Ok enough about him...

Three-a-day rehursals...they really do wear me out. We have a 7:30 am call tomorrow. That's going to be hard. I'm doing laundry and wasting time right now, as i grow tired...i have yet to drive home tonight. Gah...oh, our band music this year is really cool. We have new stand tunes: Mario Brother's Theme song with Clear Level, and End Game. Also Ridin' Dirty and Kryptonite (superman movie). Those are just afew of the new tunes we have now. Its going to be exciting....the student section is going to go crazy!!!!! *nods*

*sighs* I'm really too tired to think of anything in particular to talk about...i will be deep and etc later...just not now...*nods*
*huggles* and i will try to start updating everyday like i did last year. *nods*

I am the Koala and you are the Tree

yes yes yes...i know...a long time since the last blog. Things really haven't gotten much better... I'm fighting with my roommate, Crystal, on a daily basis. Our friend Corey always takes her side by default....and Derek is going to Austin for the week. Yes, i'm going to be alone. Fisayo is in Houston and Jared is in Amarillo. Wells Fargo is still sucky, and Galloway is still a butt-head. The Goin' Band still gives me a headache like no other. They seem to never get anything together. Mother is also being difficult by going through all of my stuff in Houston and start giving it away. Especially my stuffed animals. Then, i'm moving into the dorms at the end of the week and band rehursal starts...GAH! NOT FUN! Like i said before, the goin' band has decided to be huge butt-heads. *sighs* And the list continues...life really isn't as bad as i make it out to be but it still is difficult.

Let me explain this entry's title: Well, last week we had two of Crystal's friends stay with us and they all decided to drink the night before they left for Austin. Two of them decided to get friendly and they were cuddling on the floor. I walk out of my room and i hear, "Jenny is the Koala, and I'm her tree." Monica, the other girl who was drunk, was on the phone with someone explaining that she was a tree for the evening. It was quite ammusing.

I got a hedghog. I have yet to figure out what to name her. She is SO CUTE! I'll post up pictures as soon as i have a stable internet source again. Oh, that remindes me...I should be getting my mac back soon. This makes me very happy. I miss my baby...yes yes yes, i'm a nerd. *shrugs* Mac people are like that. *laughs*

mmmm...yes, i know...there are several stories i need to tell but i really don't have time for it right now. I'm using Derek's laptop at a coffee shop and he's looking at me very bored-like. I think this week, i'm going to get alot of practicing, and reading in. Things that i need to get done anyways. Feel free to call me! I will always love a good convo when i'm bored stiff...without my friends! *huggles*

Hate List

Wells Fargo SUCKS!
FUCK THEM. They screwed over my account AGAIN! Now i can't pay anything.

CLEMENTS HS BAND'S Galloway is a butt-head!

Jack better leave me alone or i'll exercize his butt

Just all round...fuck.

-Reijn

Who is Jack?

i appologize...
I put my mac in the store because the wireless card wasn't working due to two little mistivious brownies. AND i've moved living locations. I am now living in my friend, Crystal's, house. We don't have internet connection right now so i can't connect my desktop to anything...so communication is very limited to my cell. Speak of the devil, my phone just rang.....

Anywho, that is the reason why i haven't updated lately...no internet connection. But nothing has really changed in my life lately. Work, sleep...and Jack. Who is Jack? That is the question. Well, the house i'm living in right now is possessed by a spirit, and we named him Jack. I'll talk more about it later once i get a good internet connection but to my Christian readers, pray for us...so far this spirit hasn't turned manelvolent...and we would like to keep it that way. *nods* anywhos, i need to get off...i'll talk to you all later!
