| So I just watch Gladiator, the title header thing is a quote from that. Words to live by.
My family is going up to my grandparents' house in Iowa this weekend and I have to stay here with my dad because of stuff, don't get me wrong, I'm glad to be doing the stuff I'm doing, but I really wanna be there for my family. It's the first mothers day without my great grandma, and it's gonna be rough on my family.
Peace,

| So congratulations to the new Drum Majors, Andrew and Josh. Andrew's gonna be a really good drum major, as much as everyone doesn't want to admit it. I've known him longer than probably anyone in the band, and I know he's got what it's gonna take. Josh on the other hand.......lets just say I worry for the year after next. But never fear, we'll just get Susheel to be the Junior drum major for that year and everything will work out fine.
But seriously, everyone needs to fucking chill out. I know Snead and Haney are making some changes, but they've been doing this longer than we have, so can we give them a little credit. I want to direct a marching band when I grow up, but not because of the music stuff, if I wanted that I'd take a symphonic band or something. But I like marching band for marching band, there's just something about that's more fun than a concert setting. So can we all just cool down, take a step back, and look at the whole picture.
The rumor is that Haney is going to allow people to pick what instrument they want to play for drumline next year, based completely on the score they received on their audition. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!! When you go out and try out for a job or something, that's how it's gonna be. The people you're trying out for aren't gonna know you like Haney and Snead do, they're gonna take you only based on your intereview/tryout. GET OVER IT!!!
I'm done with this shit.
Peace,

| So, I'm single. And I have been my entire life. And I'm quite ok with that. |

| In Katie Johnston's xanga, she said that sometimes you have to take a step back and look at the big picture. It reminded me of this song from The Prince Of Egypt.
A single thread in a tapestry
though its color brightly shines
can never see its purpose
in the pattern of the grand design
and the stone that sits up on the very top
of the mountain's mighty face
does it think that it's more important
than the stones that forms the base
So how can you see what your life is worth
or where your value lies
ohhhh, you can never see through the eyes of man
you must look at your life
look at your life through heaven's eyes
lai-la-lai...through heaven's eyes(2X)
A lake of gold in the desert sand
is less than a cool fresh spring
and to one lost sheep, a shepard boy
is greater than the richest king
should a man lose everything he owns
has he truly lost his worth
or is it the beginning
of a new and brighter birth
So how do you measure the worth of a man
in wealth or strength or size
in how much he gained or how much he gave
the answer will come to ya
to look at his life through heaven's eyes
lai-la-lai...through heaven's eyes(2X)
and that's why we share all we have with you
though there's little to be found
when all you've got is nothing
there's lots to go around
No life can escape being blown about
by the winds of change and chance
and though you never know all the steps
you must learn to join the dance
you must learn to join the dance
lai-la-lai...through heaven's eyes
Basically what it's saying is, that you really can't see the big picture, you can see some of it maybe, but you can never really see the whole thing. But you just have to beleive that it's there, and that it's beautiful. Just trust that God made the big picture beautiful.
And that's what faith is.
Peace,
Trey
PS-He's always there for you, and so am I |
