The Gallivanting Maunder: 02/01/2005

Sunburn!

The Gallivanting Maunder

Like, wow, I got a little sunburn! Spring must be here! Love it!

The guys basketball team just got murdered by 1st B. Sigh.... poor guys. And they tried so hard too! The refs were stupid. And I;m not just saying that...they so called everything agenst our team. Sigh... oh well. Life is life.

I doubt that anyone has heard of Allison Crowe. She is a awesome musician/songwriter/singer. So I'm really into her right now...like, the whole instremental break through music style. Like, Six Pence None The Richer. Love those guys.

Well, I'm going.

Later.

Stories, we all got 'em

Wow, that last post was pretty long!

I just love the new van! It's so fun to drive!! I keep forgetting to put the lights on when I need them though...but the radio is cool. It does really good with bluegrass music. Now I sound like some kind of celtic hippie. Sweet!

Carolina played NC State on Tuesday. And won, of course! ;-) Yea!

I took the an aptitude test on Wednesday. It took 3 hours. My word, that's crazy!

Well, Going to go now.

Later.

La la la!

The Gallivanting Maunder

Well. We got a new car! Yea! Its a mini van. Very cool. I love driving it! And it has these little audio controls on the steering wheel. Thats hot! I won't mind crusing around with my peeps in a few months!

Well, thats about it. Saw Hitch yesterday. It's good. We went with Stacie and Kate and Sam after church. Oh dude, I love it. It's too funny, and there's Will Smith of course!

I have a big fat cold sore on the top of my upper lip. Erg. I hate it. So I've been slapping on tea tree oil and Vit E and morstreizer on it like crazy, and hopefully it'll go away one of these days!

I only have about a month before I play offertory
in church. If I were to play my piece (Ode to Joy) like Mrs Currie wants me to, there would be no way it would be ready by then. So, I'm just slowing it down and playing it kind of how I want to! But I play it how she wants me to for my lesson. Sorry, but I am going to do what I need to do in order to be able to play it in church.

I babysat today for the same people that I do on Thursdays. But this time there were about 10 kids. Crazy. Oh well. Money is money.

Ebay is fun. Though sometimes exhausting and hopelessly annoying. But I love it just the same.

Well, I really need to go. Mama is on this restricted our computer time thing, so I have to be careful with my time.

So, fare thee all well.

Brr....

It's chilly.

Marissa said it well: the ref clinic didn't go to well. It didn't go to well for me either...I failed the test too. Sigh...oh well. I go back in a couple weeks to take it again.

Ive been on a bluegrass kick lately...don't know why...just have.

Anyway...there is noone on im..it seems like verybody has left town or something....

well....goodbye.

Never let go

The Gallivanting Maunder

Never Let Go (with Deep Forest) by Josh Groben

I can’t understand it
The search for an answer
Is met with a darker day
And we’ve been handed these moments
Forever
But I’m reassured
There’s another way

You don’t have to close your eyes
There is room for love again
Ease the pain to realize
All that love can be

Forced apart by time and sand
Take a step
And take my hand
And don’t let it go
Never let go

Broken, once connected
We were so strong and so blessed
In a simple way
So don’t let me go it alone

Turn your head up to the sky
Nothing down below but me
Face the truth to realize
All that we could be
Torn apart by rage and fear
Hold on to what brought you here
Don’t let it go
Never let go

Hold your head up to the sky
Nothing down below but me
Face the truth and realize
All that we could be

Turn your head up to the sky
Nothing down below
Don’t let go

Never let go

Miss you much

The Gallivanting Maunder

Miss You Much (Chris Jonat)
I miss you much, but I don’t regret
I sense your touch, that hasn’t left me yet
You know a mournful ending don’t ruin a precious start
A painful parting don’t mean a bitter heart

And gracious your beauty
Goodness your soul

Everything’s changed, and you’re not here
But you keep climbing into my dreams somehow
Your voice is strange, but the words are clear
You’re saying, “look at me now, look at me now, look at me now, look at me now”
And I do... I look at you

Well I blame you, cause you didn’t try
I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m sure it aint a lie
Cause there was caution to consider, a consequence for haste
Now there’s sorrow in the morning, the evening feels like waste

Still gracious your beauty
And goodness your soul

I remember it was cold outside
But sunny, clear, the day you died
I had a feeling, I think, or do I just have it now
That it was all over, that I was done somehow

And gracious was your beauty
God have mercy on your soul

You’re saying “love me now, love me now, love me now, love me now”
and I do... I do love you

Tall pines

The Gallivanting Maunder

Tall Pines

Once in my youth, I stood on this mountain
And planted some pines in the sand
Every day I looked their way
But just couldn't understand
Why they never grew like I thought they should do
I just couldn't understand why
Now I've rambled around this wide world through
And today I just happened by
Tall pines, tall pines
Reaching up for the clouds
Tall pines, tall pines
I bet you wouldn't know me now.
I'll never forget the morning I left
The hum of the bees in the hay
The farther I walk, the harder they talk
How silent it seems here today
There's an old rail fence that we built, inch by inch
Surrounding the old family graves
And there's one gravestone standing all alone
There waiting to join me in the shade
Tall pines, tall pines
Reaching up for the clouds
Tall pines, tall pines
I've come home to sleep beneath your boughs.

You Raise me up

The Gallivanting Maunder

"You Raise Me Up"

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up: To more than I can be.

Big hair and forgotten passwords

Sigh. I'm all alone. Everyone is going to winter jam except for me. I know, I know, not everyone. But still....it sure does seem like it! Ah well, where shall I begin? I guess Superbowl. Who is sick of the Patriots? I mean really now, we have seen them play 3 times in the last 4 years, who needs more Alright, all the Patriots fans. yeah sure. but why don't you give all of us other little peons a chance at team pride? Oh well. Who knows what will happen next year?

This week's been pretty busy. In addition to the normal school stuff and life, one afternoon I was the little paper work person @ church doing stuff with updating the directory. It was a pretty boring job, but I got some good volenteer time in and I also planned out the acedemic plan for my next 5 years.

Wednesday night was the game. The basketball game between Carolina and Duke. Sigh, we lost by one point!!! ONE!!! Felton had the chance, he needed to go straight down the middle instead of wasting time and going to the side. @ Least he admented messing up: "I should've took it, it was a mistake I made," Felton said. "I was looking for Rashad on the other side of the screen, so I took it back out. He wasn't open, and Sean wasn't open on the slip. So the whole play just got terminated just like that."

Oh well. There is one more "the game." This time Duke is @ Carolina, and it will be a totally different story.

According to Tickle.com I am a Calm, Cool, and Collected cool. Hmm... I just love doing online surveys....sometimes they so screw me up. Heheh. Or maybe it's me that screwed, not the survey. Now thats scary.

Finally saw Nepolieon Dynimite. I really mis-spelled that too. Anyway... It was ok. Like, it really didn't seem like such a cheaply made movie, but really now, what is it that everyone sees in it? Most of the time I was just sitting there wondering where in the world did that come from? Anyway...

Well, I reckon I need to go. I still have a few e-mails to write. So, fare thee all well!
