Hello again! SO... on my last post I mentioned that 4 things make me the person I am. On this post I want to talk about the last 2. Which happen to be music, and sports/athletics.
Back in February ( valentines day to be exact) I got really sick. I hadn't been this sick in a long time. I broke out in hives from head to toe for a whole week. it was horrible. I couldn't eat, and it was so hard to get comfortable. To make a long story short. During the time I was sick I lost 6lbs. It was mostly strength. The doctor put me on a steroid to reduce the swelling of the hives. Anyway.. Being on the meds for 10 days I gained about 10lbs. It all went to my belly haha. I'm sure you can imagine this little guy with a gut. It was the funniest thing. My roommates lived it up! Even my co-workers would point at my belly and laugh, it was pretty rad! My apatite was ridiculousness! I couldn't stop eating. If only I had pictures haha!
Well.. Before I decided to go back to school last year, I was going to the gym 6 days a week. When school started last August, It went from 6 to 3 days a week. Then 2 days a week. Then... I stopped going for about a month or so ugh.
The past month it seems I have let silly things get in the way of my personal goals. It's time to step it up a notch and kick it back in gear. I have been slacking a bit in my school work, and other endeavors (such as the gym, and being more active).
I have set some new goals for when the semester is over in things I want/need to focus on. I have started going back to the gym. I have gone 5 days a week the past 2 weeks. (Still trying to work off this little belly haha) I want to Maintain that through the rest of the semester and also through the summer. I need to set certain things aside for the rest of the semester, and really focus on my schooling. when summer arrives, I also want to get more involved in sports, such as basketball, wakeboarding, and anything else that catches my eye.
Another big thing I need to do is get my self more involved in music. Most of you all know how obsessed I am with music. I have put this off long enough! I want to spend more time playing my drums, and become more familiar with timing in music. I LOVE singing (Need to focus a bit on my vocals but hey). One of my favorite things to do is hang out with some friends and do our own renditions of songs of our choice. It's fun and rewarding in the end. 8 months ago I got together with my brother Kevin, and good friend Josh. We did a cover of a song from a band Called 'Rooney" The song is called "Can't Get Enough" (Now.. I have I big love, and variety for music. But I LOVE music that just makes you feel good, and want to dance!) I want to start writing my own material soon, but for now I need to focus on building other skills first. That will come down the road. I have done many covers and recordings with friends. But this one, is one of my favorites. We were up till almost 3am recording each part. My awesome buddy Josh mixed it all for us. If you listen with headphones you can hear all the little parts. You might have to give it a few listens. My favorite part is at the very end when Kevin says "there's nothing left to loosey?" Josh added a loop of vocals at the end that was bad cut. I (for some reason) combind 2 words into one HAHA, loose + see = loosey :) classic! The link bellow will let you listen to a recording we did last summer. This is a blooper remix. It has all the mistakes we made. But it sounds so fun! Kevin was on back up vocals, and shaky, and I believe guitar. Josh was on back up vocals, percussion, and bass. I was lead vocals, and (out of tune) piano. Check it! Enjoy! Good times fo sho!
