The Go Getter

Yeah that blog name has nothing to do with this post, it is just the name of an odd song on Brothers by the Black Keys.
Well, I have had an enlightening week. It has had it's ups and downs for sure.
I just found out that I have an 82 in Bible for this quarter. This is going to be resolved to where I have my deserved near 100%, my scholarships depend on it and I really dont get why I dont have 100. Spiritual Renewal is going to start with a bang for Mr Taylor, I will tell you that. Hahaha I say that like I am going to threaten him when really the conversation will probably be more like. "Hey, ummm,  Mr Taylor, the report card says I have an 82% in your class, what's up?" and he will respond that he will fix it and that will be the end of the conversation. But really, I am pretty angry that I have to get this looked into instead of just have a 100%.
I hate losing to waitsburg, I dont care if I'm not playing. I cringe at the mention of that town. All I have to say about that visit to Americas greatest town is "There was a foul RIIGGHHHT HEEERRRE!"
I had some people over to chill last night, the usual liberty crowd plus a few ex-liberty people. It was pretty funny, watching Dinner for Schmucks and then just chilling, looking at old yearbooks and telling stories. That seems to happen a lot, but its cool with me. Victor found the Autotune setting on Garage Band the day before so he got to do some pretty funny sound bits. Double Rainbow action, but not as dramatic.
But yeah, Saturday me and Victor did some recording. I got about 1:30 on one of my songs, and it sounds pretty nice. Obviously the quality isnt awesome, but I can deal with it for free recording in my room. Garage band is nice and simple, so I'm hoping to record a good amount. Still on the music subject, I played for Middle School at Bethel this week, not the little kids. I have been told the little kids missed me, but I think they just missed my award winning smile. Anyway, I had some fun with the Middle School worship, it was kind of a weird flashback to see people like jumping around while the worship music was playing, almost like back when I was a middle schooler. I remember being so much more grown up though... Lauren(the lead) came up with the idea that I should sing for Hosanna, so I did. And I messed up. Not bad, but I did mess up. Hopefully it didnt distract too much from the purpose of the worship.
Saturday Victor, my dad, and I all went up to Whitman College to watch Whitman play Pacific University. Whitman was pretty legit, but Pacific was less than impressive. Whitman won by a lot, mostly because Pacific didnt have the ballhandlers or shooters to keep up. Now who do I know that really likes to shoot and works on ballhandling a lot??? Oh well, I'm sure I will remember sometime. Now, I dont want to take away from the fact that these were obviously all good ballplayers, but I think I could do it. However, my desire to play for Pacific has gone down significantly since I did my college visits. So I am hoping that Fox could use some better guard play as well. Oh well, I will work hard wherever I end up, so it really doesnt matter.
I went to Spokane today for a doctors appointment today. I went to the apple store, scouting some nice cases for my Macbook, went to Guitar Center and got a replacement for my apparently broken FBV pedal. So watch out spiritual renewal, Ron's got a new toy. Oh and I went to the doctor. He was quite impressed with my knee, and said it looked "incredible." Nice to hear, and I found out I have about 4 weeks til I can start jogging and doing some jump shots. Very exciting news, I just have to keep taking it easy so as to let my graft really set in the next few weeks.
A couple final notes and Ill be done, no real spiritual message tonight folks. I would like to come up with a band name, I feel like Ron and the Snakes is not quite fitting when most of my songs are serious. Spiritual Renewal starts tomorrow, but I will miss like half of it everyday, so I hope I can still get some good stuff out of it. I pray that it is a great experience for the high school.
