how to dance at a rave
January 31st, 2007
i’m putting animal crackers in my soup.
January 30th, 2007
and these animal crackers had a $0.65 label on them in the vending machine. i put a dollar bill in, and got $0.30 back in change. and not only that… the bag was open when i got it out of the machine.
ahhh… america… land of mislabeled, overpriced, STUFF.
cold as ice
January 30th, 2007
that’s a great description of my fingers right now. cold as ice. *brr*
i suppose the combination of my habit of eating ice… and the fact that the ‘garage door’ at my office was opened a couple times today… is probably a good reason why i’m sooo cold right now.
i guess it also doesn’t help that i haven’t been feeling exactly 100% lately. some sort of a) cold or b) bug that is going around is just not leaving me alone. it’s nothing that really prevents me from doing stuff… just prevents me from having a whole lot of energy while doing so.
last night i had a worship team rehearsal/brainstorming time at divine word. it’s times like that when i realize how much i miss playing the drums in a worship setting. i’m excited to start something up… and also excited that i won’t have to keep dragging my drums back and forth.. since there’s a drum set there that i tuned up a bit last night. i’ll make sure to keep everyone updated on when we’ll be playing at church.
ok. that’s really all i got. i gotta go blow my nose again. see ya
Chilly Goodness!

Hello there, lovely people! This is Pandora, coming to you from Pandora’s Box! Tracy popped into my blog for FFAF, so I had to return the favor!
So, here’s what I’m thinking. It’s an absolutely gorgeous day over in Pandora land. The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and it’s just perfect to be outside in jeans with a light jacket. How I adore this kind of weather! It makes me want an egg salad sandwich and a cup of hot chocolate. (=
I sometimes don’t know what to write when I visit other people’s blogs. Tracy gave some great suggestions, though. I have to say I am passionate about writing. I love to write and I wish I would do it more. I’ve been told I’m actually rather *good* at it, so – I need to do it some more. (; I am going to go back to NaNoWriMo novel very soon and get some more of it done. I feel awlful I didn’t finish the 50000 words this past November. I’m also passionate about old school NES video games. (If you’ve been to my blog, that’s no shock. 
) The Legend of Zelda is my absolute FAVORITE of all time. BEAUTIFUL.
Anyway! You can visit me at the Box and tell me your life story too!
Thanks for having me, Tracy! (=

January 28th, 2007
you missed a good show. we had a pretty good turnout at our gig tonight. we just finished and i’m utilizing the free wi-fi here at the mosaic. it’s past my bedtime. i probably slowed down all the songs because i was so tired. but i did record it so we’ll see how that turned out. anyways. i’m gonna go pack up my drums now. next time… you milwaukee area peeps need to come out for our gig! 
be.

this is such a great quote. it was posted by a friend on a myspace group that i belong to… i love it so much.. i just had to blog it.
Be someone who listens, and you will be heard.
Be someone who cares, and you will be loved.
Be someone who gives, and you will be blessed.
Be someone who comforts, and you will know peace.
Be someone who genuinely seeks to understand, and you will be wise.
Be someone kind, someone considerate, and you will be admired.
Be someone who values truth, and you will be respected.
Be someone who takes action, and you will move life forward.
Be someone who lifts others higher, and your life will be rich.
Be someone filled with gratitude, and there will be no end to the things for which you’ll be thankful.
Be someone who lives with joy, with purpose, as your own light brightly shines.
Be, in every moment , the special someone you are truly meant to be.– Ralph Marston
yay! snow!
January 21st, 2007
this morning i woke up to the most beautiful covering of snow i’ve seen in a while! and it’s PERFECT packing snow! man. i miss the days of snow forts and snowball fights 
i think i might have to make a snowman in my front yard just for old-times sake
yesterday was a day full of surprises and travels. it was super fun. michele had a martial arts seminar in berlin, wi. (#1 on the map). my friend nick invited us to his wedding that day as well.. and since that was in kiel, wi (#3 on the map), we figured we would drive together, and just bum around the central-ish area of wisconsin for our saturday. when i looked at google maps where berlin and kiel were, i noticed how close i was to coloma, wi (#2)… so since michele’s seminar was 4 hours… i took that time to drive to coloma and surprise my parents, who were up at the hotel working on stuff. i got the chance to take pictures of the newly-finished pub/bar, and a nice back deck that was added. i also finally got to try out this “new” coffee shop in coloma that my parents were always talking about. and to my surprise.. they had all alterra coffee, fair trade chocolate, organic foods and beverages, etc. i never would have thought that a trendy-ish coffee shop like that would actually “work” in a central wisconsin town with less than 600 people in it.
anyways. after showing my parents how to download songs from the itunes music store, i headed back to berlin to pick up michele.. and i was reminded how thankful i am that i live in a place where we have freeways that have more than TWO lanes! arrgg! those country roads were frustrating me to no end… especially when we had a whole parade of cars behind someone going REALLY slow! grrr.
but then we went to kiel and attended the wedding reception of nick and julia.. it was super fun and we chatted with more nerds (computer nerds, martial arts nerds, etc.) after the dinner.
and today was a lazy day. the snow is so beautiful. but now i have to go move my drums over to michele’s so we will be ready for our jazz quartet rehearsal
