Today has been such a super great day! I don't get it! Me and Bachman stayed up till 3:30 playing videogames again.. but somehow today has just been such a good day! I'm in a good mood, classes are over, and NO ONE can stop me now!

Plus i'm Damn good lookin'

Yum

Ahh I nice relaxing thursday... I think thursday is probably one of the best days of the week... Overall.... I had an exam in American Music history today, there were like two questions I just couldn't quite remember, if it's something so obscure I'm not sure why it's important... but over all, It was a breeze... My Old Walkman headphones died... So i got a new pair.. they're nice, just sony walkman headphones, they're super light .... there is almost nothing to them... but they get good sound, especially for how small they are. Not much else in other news... Looking forward to small jazz next monday.... hopefully I can get some arranging done over the weekend.

And guess what, I LOVE MY ERIN! Your the best sweetie..

Jello and Spam, I have both!! Yes I have two very nice sized boxes of peach jello, and a miniture serving size can of spam... These are things I will eat in the place of perfectly healthy meals.... Speaking of unhealthy me and bachman sat up till now which you'll note is after 3 o'clock, to play yet another level of Halo....

So spring break is a short 2 weeks away and I absolutally can't wait! Me and Erin went through a bit of a rough patch these last couple weeks, but we're well through it, and i'm really looking forward to spending break just hanging out and being the great friends we always have been. I know that when all my other chips are down, and even when no one else want's to be my friend, I can always count on her to be there for me. And that means so so so much to me.

This friday i'm housing Jason Roach who will be on campus for the LVC honors band, he's a nice enough guy, but over the years he's developed quite an ego, one I hope we'll be able to beat out of him when he comes to school here next year. Which means I really need to be hitting the practice rooms alot more often, or i'm not going to have enough chops to beat a fourth grader...

I saw a new show this even, it's called witch hunter Robin... I liked it, it's on weeknight at midnight which unfortunatally ISN'T past the time that i'm usually in bed, so I belive i'm going to start watching it reguarly. Hey my sister and Finacee can watch the OC and all there shows... So it's Witch Hunter Robin and Law and Order for me! Yesssirr....

Speaking of being run down, it seems that everyone on campus this week is either sick, or feeling like they'd rather be sick... just a sort of general sense of run downnedness that no body can seem to shake, even Dan Melius whom took 3 naps today couldn't shake it... and I must admit, even i've been feeling run down.. and I don't think i'm getting any skinnier for it either...

I've been playing pool alot this year, both with my friends on Campus and with Erin, both on campus and at her house.. So I bought myself a pool stick, nothing fancy, infact really on the cheap side... but it's mine to call my own! :) it's a two part stick and comes with a carrying case... almost nessisary.. I mean i'd feel really stupid lugging a full sized cue across campus... especially if someone was already playing and I had to wait..

I did some good work these past couple weeks, good grades on both my Choral Lit teaching, and my Bass Playing exam.. Dietrich is a hard man to please so My high B was a gift and a compliment coming from him.. Now if only Violin were as simple to get sound out of as the bass.... The Bass is a "Dan Size" instrument, the violin, feels like a toy that if I hold it the wrong way, i'm going to snap it in two.. that's just how it is.

Well it's rolling around on the old half past three, and I think it'd be in my best interest to crawl my sorry (no matter how cute) butt to bed...

In the presence of eternity the mountains are as transient as the clouds... Think about it, please, think about it.

Love,
Dan

Wow it's wednesday already! How's YOUR day going?

Ohh forgot to give you some philosophical mutterings recently...

Why make so much of miracles.
As to me I know nothing else but miracles...
To me every hour of night and day is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space a miracle.

And I really belive that too.

Monday is usually the hardest day of my week... but this monday actually went pretty smooth.. alot got cancelled.. and that was all cool.. now i'm really looking forward to a shower and a nice long sleep... Ellie's trip to the Orthopedic surgeon seems to be going well, the family was impressed with the facility and the doctors, and they should be taking very good care of her.. and if all goes well she'll be 100% in 6 weeks... so apperently my family is thinking of getting ANOTHER dog, even thogh the one we have now doesn't listen.. so, who knows, crazy people.. although I suppose a few years down the road when tara leaves for college mom is going to need the company or completly lose it.. Another dog would be neat.. but I'm not sure if it'd be worth the trouble, we'll see.. who knows if they'll go through and do it or not..
If anyone plays President Bush shootout, and gets past the Van in the third level, please tell me how, I can't beat that van... It's annoying.. Well I guess i'm going to officially start not sleeping by playing some videogames... So off I go! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeee.

Thought this was interesting.



Just in case you might think of Iraq as "only" an oil rich nation, ruled by
an evil dictator for 30 years, whether it has been supporting terrorists or
may not be very important, here are a few important facts regarding the
important history and roles that this nation has played down through
history*

IRAQ -- VERY INTERESTING -- DID YOU KNOW??????

1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq. (I don't agree with this one)

2. Mesopotamia which is now Iraq was the cradle of civilization!

3. Noah built the ark in Iraq.

4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq.

5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq!

6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor which is in Iraq.

7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.

8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq.

9. Assyria which is in Iraq conquered the ten tribes of Israel.

10. Amos cried out in Iraq!

11. Babylon which is in Iraq destroyed Jerusalem.

12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq!

13. The 3 Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (that's good news to know
that JESUS has been in Iraq too as the 4th person in the fiery furnace!)

14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq.
(which hopefully Saddam will too!)

15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jewish nation captive into
Iraq.

16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.

17. The wise men were from Iraq. (where are the "wise" men today?)

18. Peter preached in Iraq.

19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon which was
a
city in Iraq!





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often
mentioned
in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq!
However,
that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible
are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means
between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates
Rivers.
The name Iraq, means country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with
deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible. Here's why.

* Eden was in Iraq--Genesis 2:10-14
* Adam & Eve were created in Iraq--Genesis 2:7-8
* Satan made his first recorded appearance in Iraq--Genesis 3:1-6
* Nimrod established Babylon & Tower of Babel was built in Iraq-- Genesis
10:8-97 & 11:1-4
* The confusion of the languages took place in Iraq--Genesis
11:5-11
* Abraham came from a city in Iraq--Genesis 11:31 & Acts 7:2-4
* Isaac's bride came from Iraq--Genesis 24:3-4 & 10
* Jacob spent 20 years in Iraq--Genesis 27:42-45 & 31:38
* The first world Empire was in Iraq--Daniel 1:1-2 &2:36-38
* The greatest revival in history was in a city in Iraq--Jonah 3
* The events of the book of Esther took place in Iraq--Esther
* The book of Nahum was a prophecy against a city in Iraq--Nahum
* The book or Revelation has prophecies against Babylon, which was the old
name for the nation of Iraq--Revelation 17 & 18

No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated it
than Iraq

Bored? I DEFINENTALLY recomment playing Bush- Shoot Out, Defend the White house, the only way our president knows how... violently.. which in life sucks, but in videogames, AMEN>
