Writing, My Cross Connection, and Class

It has been a while since I posted an actual blog entry. My past few have been poems and my usual drunken (yet written while sober) New Years post. As such, I thought I'd give some kind of new update on things.

In regards to writing, all I can say is that I haven't done much. Last week, my laptop's AC adapter broke off and fell into my laptop. At the moment, I'm fighting my sister and my mother for access to their computer while waiting for the loaner laptop I've been given to be wiped clean. I've done little work in Valley and no work in Fourteen Days. As for Poetry and Stories 2, that was put on an indefinite hold. I've written some poetry since my last post, so I suppose I can say that I have at least done SOME writing.

In regards to music, that has been moving along splendidly. At the moment, My Cross Connection is "headlining" a small music fest currently planned for May. We also feel ready to start moving on for other gigs. Of course, that also means a future trip to Guitar Center soon for new gear. Always a fun thing for musicians to do. Hopefully I'll have the money to buy a Strat during it.

We're also busy working on the next album. While we are still far from recording, there are eight songs we have on the docket for the second album, two of which are from your's truly. There is a third song I wrote that might find itself on the album, but that is still in the air. This next set of songs have something for everyone, from country to an almost Nine Inch Nails sound. Probably didn't think you could have "Christian" and "Nine Inch Nails" be in the same description.

And finally, we have classes. It's my eighth full semester at COD, and so far I am doing alright in them. I'm trying to get as much of my English supplemental work out of the way so I have time to deal with my speech class. I got a good feeling about this semester. I actually have all the books I need (sort of), and plan on staying on top of things.

Lets hope in four months when I get my final grades, I can say the same thing...

...oh, and as always, I'm still single. Maybe I'll meet someone this semester. Maybe...

...can always hope...

...maybe...?

...yeah, I'm not holding my breath either...
