St. Patrick's Day

2006-03-16T15:12:00.000-05:00

WOW!!! It has been such a long time since my last blog!!! No resolutions... Forget them! Well, for those of you who are wearing green for St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow, you rock!!! I love St. Patrick’s Day. Not only does the color green rock, everybody matches!!! Although my favorite color is pink, green is very calming. Spring is almost here, and St. Patty has come to remind us! Thanks!!!

Resolution Update

2006-02-02T16:06:00.000-05:00

Well, I still don't have any resolutions, and it's been a month! Tons of things to do... No time to write them down!

Resolutions

2006-01-15T22:52:00.000-05:00

Well, about my New Year's resolutions... I have not made any, so far. This could potentially create a problem with getting them accomplished. I have in mind what I would like them to be, but they are not organized. Well, I don’t know if they will ever get done, but here's one resolution:
1. Write resolutions.

New Year

2005-12-30T23:36:00.000-05:00

Wow, a whole new year! It feels so weird to say 2006! Who doesn't have the best party of the year on New Year's Eve? I know I do! I've had a New Year's Eve party every year since the 4th grade, which is an extremely long time! I can't imagine ringing in the New Year without a bash! However, it is nice to take a breather, and just soak everything in. Plus, you get to create resolutions!!! I know I will be making plenty! I have made tons of resolutions, and the percentage of resolutions that have been completed is probably 20%... sad, huh? Well, I hope I accomplish more this year than the years that have passed!

Cable

2005-12-29T13:52:00.000-05:00

Have you ever noticed how high prices for cable are? You'd think that because it's been around so long, the prices would have lowered. Because cable companies keep creating new devices such as 'On Demand' and others, it gives them the right to raise the cable prices rather than lower them. I have always grown up with cable, and I can't imagine going without it. But even though my family does not use this product as often as we pay for it, we are switching to basic cable. I'm pretty sure if it wasn't for our internet services, we would cancel our subscription completely!

Last night, while I was watching a program on the History Channel with my parents about castles, there was one that caught my eye. The name of this breath-taking Castle is Alcazar de Segovia. It has Middle Eastern and Christian influences on the design, and has wonderful detail. This spiked an idea from my parents. Since they would be retiring soon, they thought of creating a castle with a moat around their living space. I happen to think this idea is a great one. I hope that this will be more effecting in being completed, rather than the meal plan program!

Napster

2005-11-18T15:42:00.001-05:00

I really like Napster. Depending on which "plan" you get, the prices vary. Napster Lite is free; however, others like Napster To Go aren't as good. Why would you buy music if you couldn't do what you wanted with it? On Napster To Go, you have to download it directly to your MP3 player. What if you accidentally deleted your favorite piece of music? You would have to buy it again. I think I like Napster Lite the most. You don't get to listen to the whole songs, just 30 seconds, but it's free and you can play the whole song of music you buy as much as you want, and burn CD's, and Have it on your MP3 player.

My Want List

2005-11-15T22:30:00.000-05:00

Here is my want list as of now. Not much, but trust me it will be once the Internet gets fixed (it's broken for those of you who still have the Internet). Here you go...

Blue Topaz Jewelry (my birthstone...)
Curve Wave perfume by Liz Clairborne
An Easy Bake Oven (I had one when I was little. Loved it!)
An new winter wardrobe (or at least some clothing. I need something to wear)

Well, that's it for now. New updates will be added.

Musicians

2005-11-12T18:22:00.000-05:00

I have a great appreciation for musicians. As a musician, I understand how learning new music can be difficult, and if you play an instrument that people think are boring, such as a violin and classical music, people assume you are boring. As a trumpet, violin, and guitar player, I find there are a lot of musical prejudices. When I tell people which instruments I play, they only seem interested in how I play guitar, and whether I play acoustic or electric. I love pretty much all types of music: rock, pop, classical, opera, musicals, all except country music. People by and large only seem iterested in music that is on the radio. I find this very sad. Nobody recognizes great musicians such as Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin. I admire these people because they created the fundamentals of the music we hear today on the radio. Next time you hear music on the radio, consider this: Where did these musicians get the beats they use or the melodies and harmonies? I think you'll find that all these elements were used by many other musicians before them.

Decisions, Decisions..

I find that every night, my family and I cannot seem to find what to have for dinner. Everyone dreads their turns thinking up something to have for dinner that everyone will agree to. Dinner ideas have become a chore. What is there to do? Well Chantay, a part of my family has come up with an idea for us. Since she has a career that involves computers, she knows alot about them; and she has an idea for a special program that holds recipes, has a calendar where you plug in what meal is planned that night, and the program takes ingredients from the recipes and creates a shopping list of things needed for your meals that week. When can you expect to see this product flying off of shelves? Probably never. This idea is still just an idea.
