So the week before last I spent quite a few days looking into college! I thought I would be spending my senior year at the technical college but things changed a bit.
So during open enrollment in March I enrolled into a charter school! I spent about a week on the paper form that you send in that tells them about yourself.(I wouldn't usually wouldn't spend that kind of time on that kind of paper but I wanted it to be better than perfect) About the time I finished (the paper) I went to their open house to visit! They informed me that they would only be taking in four high school students. The high school is also interlinked with the junior high so I just dropped the idea thinking (logically) that it would be best to just not put in any more time trying to get into the the school. There was no way I was gonna get in so I turned my energy to college.I never even sent in the form and forgot about the whole thing. Then this last week I got a letter of acceptance to the school!!!!! So that's where i will be going for the last year of high school! needless I am pretty excited about it!

So this last week Wisconsin got more snow! terrible! summer was here...... and now( not so much).
The large Weau tv 13 tower fell during the storm!!! When it was first built it held the record for the tallest structure the the nation!Of course it got beat years later by a news tower in South dakoda. They built theirs a foot taller! Well any how the it was visible from my parents deck on the horizon! Now its gone! It is quite weird not seeing it at night! I really wouldn't mind (I don't have time to watch much tv) if it hadn't been for the fact that my favorite radio station also used the tower (Waxx 104.5). Now I cant get any good country stations in and the other stations (in my opinion) are just not that great! Oh well! The news is that the new tower might not be built for six months to a year!I might just loose my mind!lol

Well its been since October of last year since the last time that I posted! I guess that means its time!
I look at the calender and its already the 18 or wait maybe the 19 now! Its past 12 at night so new day( see what i mean). I have the hardest time keeping track of the days lately! It goes to fast!
At the beginning of the month I attend the conference in Eau Claire! It was really good! The speakers where amazing! I especially like the Friday night session's! The younger speakers where really good! There's a lot of promise in all of those guys! Saturday was amazing! We went to bed at 2:30 in the morning and woke up at six to start setting up sound at the the Plaza! needless to say I was pretty tired and had some trouble staying awake for some of the sessions ( not good)!

Updated (Tree Stumps and Brush)
Well its been forever since the last time blogged so i think its time to!
I said i would write about the Tree Stumps and Brush experience so here we go.
The first day was quite interesting. Arriving at the site early in the morning with a group of other guys we got started right away! Our job was to line up and walk a freshly plowed field and find and remove stumps out of a field that used to be part of a Christmas tree farm . We all had two pounds of mud (thanks to the large amounts of rain the day) in fifteen minutes of walking.Things went well until one of the guys in the group ( a college student) decided it would be brilliant to start singing a Veggy tales song to help pass the time. I wanted to beat the crap out of him for being so dumb but i held my self back and decided it wasn't my job to dig his grave. Not to berate the guy, he is a great guy but the next morning i wasn't surprised to find that none of the guys who were singing were not on the job.
The next day it was just me and my brother working.I worked with one of the two bosses. I dont remember his name but he was really cool. He asked me where i went to church and if i ever read the bible!! Not that there was much ever said. I pulled out every stump in a 10 acre area and dragged them to the skid steer bucket that followed me around. He helped by pulling out what he could with the edge of the bucket. My only regret at the end of the day was that i didnt have one of those tracker things that runners use to find out how far they have went. That's what i call real work. and now my fingers are dead. and your probably bored to tears!lol

Today its has been rainy, cold, and windy. Its as if God is saying "no more summer". Its a bitter sweet feeling.
These past few days i have spent getting back to normal. I spent Thursday at my friend Matt's bachelor party! It was a really lot of fun getting to see Andy, James, Trenton and hang out with the guys. I dont get to spend a whole lot of time with other guys because of work and school! Although its probably a good thing it was nice to get to spend some time enjoying life and get to know some new people. Its funny how people can open up in different situations. I got to get to know some different guys that i have known for a really long time but have never really talked to or had a real conversation with.
Friday morning we all when to the rehearsal hall( it was a barn). As the others in the group moved things around and decorated the place Courtney and I got the job of putting all the silverware in the napkins. It was quite the job! We talked food, life and collage. We were both dying of hunger when we were done( talking about food does that does that to you;) . the rest of the day was spent at the rehearsal for Sandy and Matts wedding. We all worked hard to get all the usual kinks out. Afterward i sat behind my mic and sang for a good hour. Afterward i felt a bit guilty having not helped the ladys get the church all set up. Of course i didnt think of that until later. Then we all headed to Sandys Parents for the after party and of course the food( I had missed lunch and was feeling quite empty and hollow). We spent the rest of the moving two hay wagons together for dancing on but ended up moving into the barn( because of the cold weather). We hooked up a laptop to the barn radio and danced for a good three hours.
Saturday I had to work in the morning but got done in time to get my tux and clothing ready.Then we packed everything into Marys car and followed Mary( who was driving in my parents huge van) to the church. The rest of the morning was spent tuning guitars, sound check and taking pictures with the rest of the grooms men. The actual wedding went by rather fast. The pictures were taken afterward by Xav and Courtney ( who both did a great job).Then it was off to the reception. We all ate and then it was on to dancing. I got alot of funny looks from people watching but w it was still a blast ! Half way through my energy gave out. I spent alot of time just trying to cool off( i was really sweating). Not long after the bride and groom left the party started to die. Trenton and I ended the evening with some karaoke. I have never been a big fan of doing things like that( and even lest of a fan of karaoke) but it was worth making the memories with an old friend. I just hope that no black mail videos of it get put on the internet.
