So if you didnt know this, and I'm assuming that most people who will read my blog will know this, i go to the columbia basin raquet club for about 3 hours a day. This consists of several hours of basketball and an hour to an hour and a half of lifting weights. Some people(travis), think this is crazy, but I just love exercise. It feels good.
During the summer its usually just me, travis, and victor on the court; making it easy to do drills and get a set amount of shots in. However, once the school year rolls around, people start coming in after school, making for some good pickup games. Luckily, these players are usually pretty good, varsity players on their respective teams. The last few days, strangely, have started to feel like an elementary school playground. We will get a good amount of guys shooting around, and then when we start to play, its like 'lets just pick out the best players in the gym 1 by 1 to play.' So several people are left just shooting around while this group plays 3 on 3 or whatever. Ill admit, i enjoy the good competition, most of the guys are pretty cool, and i dont like playing with people that cant keep up. But this seems a little ridiculous to me, just an opinion, and i feel like an a-hole if i go play and leave people I'm shooting with by themselves. I'm not totally sure what to do about this...
Done with seriousness and rambling for now, so on another note: Today was the first chapel of the school year. We played a decent set, it was an all school chapel, and it seems to me like the little kids get more into the worship. I think that is part of why Jesus said to have the heart of a child. That is not the reason i am bringing this up. I played guitar as usual, and when i got to my t.a. mrs shaddix asked how many of her 1st graders saw me on stage. about half raised their hands. So Im already like 'oh great, this is such an observant group...' Then she took the question to a whole new level "what was aaron playing?" the first response was drums. WRONG. Well they did get it right after that but I felt officially owned, by a group of 1st graders. There's my story for the day.
Lastly, on to music. I am starting to like Coldplay more, and i agree with Victor that The Scientist is pretty much awesome. Also, i used to listen to the radio more, and i remember this band Edison Glass from a while ago, and i didnt like them much back in the day. I remember thinking they sounded a bit different, but since thats what im starting to like more nowadays, i decided to check them out again. I think i will get an album soon, because they are pretty tight.
I still love hardcore music, screaming is still cool, but i find myself listening to it less. One reason is I am branching out, listening to a more of a variety of music. Another reason is that i have a constant urge to sing along with whatever i am listening to, and i CANNOT scream. I can muster up maybe 1 per song, but entire verses make me want to throw up and not sing anymore.
Well thats all folks
