Quick Build, went by quick


Our last build together as one RBC, tear.
(Warning this is a nerdy entry)

It was in Stafford Springs, ie nowheresville, ct. I got there thursday night cause I was going to be on an evening crew. So everyone's finishing dinner, its about 6 oclock. I find out that, their were delays and that none of the wiring had been done! Oh, fyi i'm on sound crew, we make it possible for stuff to be heard, anywho... The state inspector is scheduled to come at 7am the next morning and the entire wiring had to be done for the entire building and here's the best part, it was me and one other brother do this. Even better, he had to leave to check in where he was staying, so he left for about an hour. Leaving moi, lol. Fortunately I was able to recruit phil k, who assisted me. We were able to run a ton of wires and what not, and he got some electricians to do the main hall. Then the other brother returned and by about 11 we finished. IIIIIII was sleepy. Not to mention that it was 100F no less, in the building.

I slept in a little on friday at the kenyons. Until I heard yelling at 7, "don't yell your going to wake jordan" was what I heard. Went Friday got their about 11, and it was pouring and cold. Fun Fun. We only had a little work because it was busy inside. So I had lunch and walked around and talked. I was going to go out friday night, to Carolyn's house but I got back to the kenyons and died.

Saturday, did honestly like 15 min of work. Cause again it was "busy" inside and we had no ceiling to install speakers into. So walked around more, talked to some peeps had lunch, hung out in first aid with K 2 the lee, what have you. Then flew back home to bartend this benefit deal at the park, for shelter harbor. It was good, the best part besides the money of course was that I got to eat all the extra sushi mmmmm. And let me tell you, it was sushi-rific. (ok that was dumb)



Sunday, I don't remember what I did, so i'm going to say the meeting and nothing. And the best part of the week monday, I was at corto's house when my car died. Ya thats right, the Saab hates my face. It would not start, so I had to have it towed. Apparently it needs a new fuel pump. And I thought it wouldnt be that much money and be done quick. Then i find out it also needs a gas tank and of course holiday weekend delays. So I still have no car. I've been driving the fan and creeping out people everywhere.

Oh oh better news american idol finale week! Taylor won! Soul Patrol Soul Patrol! I went to the AI party at the kings which was so much fun, and fantabulous food. And then a bunch of service the rest of the week. Including my finest hour, I was able to convince my entire service group to go to Sophies, a coffee shop, which btw is not even in our territory. We go the best frozen iced chocolates, ever.


I'm very tired and going to bed. But that was the week in review. I forgot to mention some other stuff I know. I'll cover this weekend, in next weeks blog. Peace out.

The Circus......is never done !



Giggity Giggity Giggty, High five random black lady!

But i'll get back to that later. So I went to the greatest show on earth this weekend. Well I don't know if I would call it that, but it was the circus. And no it was no the 3 ring circus, in fact from what I can figure it was a half ring circus. So we headed up to Springield on saturday corto, and I that is. We met and Al and jordan k 2 at some house sitting establishment. We headed over and got some sweet parkingspace via AXIA. haha. Damon had the idea that if you have an axia pass you can park wherever you want, but I guess it did work.



Once we arrived at the circus, their was people selling stuff everywhere. Swords, hats, masks, everything. But no one had $100 bucks to buy any of that. But when walking to my seat I saw this fantastic mask of a clown wearing glasses. $7, I said NEY! So I said Summer, who was with us (waiting for stanton i presume) and I said give me $3 and she said ok. So a sweet clown mask for the price of $4 I think YES. When we took our seats, oh this was the part of the story I forgot to make. Earlier in the evening I made some predictions to corto. They were the following: People would drink and be silly, A certain girl and her boyfriend would get mad and leave, Summer and Stanton would break up, but then not, but then again, and this african american lady with braids would be mad at us. Now that fact was probably the most interesting of the story. Because when we sat down, I saw this lady with braids, and I said shes going to get mad at us I can just feel it.



The show begins!! I'm wearing my clown mask the entire time. The lead clown who's in charge of everything, sounds just like Turpeck, honestly I think their cousins. So we all yelled back at him in his voice and laughed and screamed as loud as possible. Well the lady in braids, proceeds to yell back saying she has a headache and the circus is not the place for yelling and headaches, apparently she wanted some pickles. ha No but apparently she's been attending another circus that has no yelling and everyone is sad. Well after being yelled at by braids, a certain person and their boyfriend get mad at us. So far, were silly, getting yelled at, and people are mad, so i'm up to 3. As we leave someone has the idea to buy plastic light up swords, that were amazing. So the 4 of us run down the streets of Springfield, in a battle of epic proportions. At the same time, on the other side of the circus, Summer is breaking up with Stanton for the first time. (DRAMA) Then more people got mad because they needed a ride home.



We get to where we were staying and much more silliness and sword fighting. The angry couple left. HA. Summer and Stanton come back in, Round 2. I just wanted pizza and that was the task for the rest of the evening. The boys left, and some how I lost a round of rock, paper, stupid, and had to share a double size bed with summer and jordan k 2. We slept in the next day, and made our way back home. And that was it. OH and the quote of the weekend, from one of our angry circus goers was, "Remember who you are"?.......Jordan K III.



PS: When the clown yelled alright at us. I yelled back ALRIGHT GIGGITY GIGGITY GIGGITY, and a friendly african american, not with braids, proceed to go YEAHHHH and give me a high five. And along with yelling we used the Lil John voice for WHAAAAAAt, OKKKKK, LETS GOOOOOOO. Remember who you are !

Un Poste nuevo

Ok super quick.

Did service this week. Had another band practice which was good. We wrote a new song which i think is gonna be really good when its finished. Kinda sounds reggaeish. Someones gonna have to rap the lyrics, but clearly it will not be me. Ever since the whole jordan can't touch the mircrophone policy went in to effect.

Friday did a bible study. Then had dinner with my rents at Vetranos. awww. I saw like 3 chicks I went to school with, which caused me to proclaim once again, "I have to get out of this area". Food was good then went home to bed.

Saturday was the Spanish Assembly at Natick. It was fantastico. I got about 30-40% of it, which made me very happy. Saw some of my amigos and amigas. Which made me feel like a tool for not going to spanish. So the goal list has changed. Actually I don't have a goal list. So i'm making one. And going back to spanish, that'll be #1 followed closely but #2 kidnap Wentworth Miller. Indeed. Came home from assembly and died because I was so mentally exausted from spanish.

Sunday. Did not go to the meeting. I umm had a headache. Ha. Went to Hali's shower. It was nice. Beautiful day. Lots O food and friends. She got a bunch of stuff. Which will be good for making brain muffins or whatever natural stuff she likes. So that was good. Then came home and fell asleep. And woke up at 11:30 for a late night phone calll.....wink wink. And thats it.

This weekend is going to be so exciting, i'm gonna kiss a clown. MORE TO COME.

Zox, Brand New, and a New Entry For You!


So I guess i'm covering two weeks in this entry.

Which will put us back to weekend of the 21st. On friday night went to Newport to see Kevin Devine (not to be confused with little kevin) and Brand New. Show was fantastic. I bought Kevin's cd which is my latest obsession. Brand New played all there oldies and a couple of new songs, but mainly it was one big sing along. Show ended with Tommy Gun, which I sung all the words at the top of my lungs. lol. I stayed in Newport with maryanne who had a condo. It was nice, right downtown on the water. Milled around then went to warwick and went shopping. Then came home for our 1st spanish bookstudy. (all of nagging finally payed off!) unfortunately its on saturday nights at 6! Who does that? But anyways, there was like 35 people their, only 8 were spanish (4 adults, 4 ninos). haha.

The rest of the weekend I just layed around the house because I was tired, and really didn't feel like going anywhere. The next week did a whole lotta service, because I was behind and waited till the last week to make it up. Wednesday some kids from New Bedford came down and we had a jam session. It was fun to play music with a band again. They'll be down again this week to play.

Saturday (the 29th) went out in service till 3 then "Summer" came down for the weekend. We went to spanish bookstudy and then went to the Zox concert. State Radio from boston opened for them, there a really cool reggae band. Saw a bunch of girls there. In fact there were a lot of girls in general there. Zox was amazing. They played for almost 2 hours. And I danced on the balcony. And saw Stanton crowd surfing, no one was impressed. Then went to Thayer St with Al, jordank II, and summer. And I got 2 spike junkyard dogs. mmmmmmm. Just thinking about them makes me happy.

Sunday more service in the Am. (Made my time!) Then Special talk. I enjoyed it. After went to a "gathering of sorts" at Lisas. And played volleyball. Which means summer is here! And then played a bunch of music and got home wicked late. That's it. Today is monday, I worked and took the day off from service to nap. Now back to bed I go, sorry this blog makes no sense, its pretty late.
