| Okay everyone, this is the last post. Yup, CTI starts Thursday and I'll be moving my blogging to www.xanga.com/ensouka. Ensouka is Japanese for "performing musician".
In other news, I found out last thursday that there are two FULL teams this year for the FT year. Woo frickety hoo!! This means two guitars per team people! Two!!
If you haven't gotten your support cards in yet, please send them in! It's very important! Donna will kill me! Really, ask Jolene! That's why I'm using so many exclamation marks!!
There you have it folks, the last entry of Walker2ca. Kind of sad. Kind of pitiful. Kind of right on.

| I just filled my insurance forms out online. Fun times. I got my license renewed and my MN plates today. I'm officially not a Californian any longer. In the words of a great Honduran guitar player: "Waaaa..."
I helped my dad sand the railings of the deck this afternoon. I haven't done anything in such a long time, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it!! Crazy.
The CTI days draw nearer and nearer. Future of Forestry's new album is coming out in a few days and I can not wait for it. I hope they sell it on iTunes or I'ma have to get someone to steal it to me until I can have a copy mailed to CTIland.
I dawned on me today that there are two people returning to CTI that I know and that I will probably spend the rest of the year on not their team. Sad. Growthful. But sad.
I've been doing a lot of thinking about what my on-stage testimony is going to be this year. It's really stressing me out too. I think about Honduras and FT and suddenly a gazillion really great memories pop into my head, but then I think about telling those memories from stage and I realize that there is no message other than "we had a good time sometimes...but you had to be there". Daaaaaaamn! We'll see.
I have a tour of the U of MN campus on Friday. Does anyone who reads this go there? Just wondering.
Growthfully yours,
Nathan
PS - I'm sooooo cool that in the last week, I've read over 750 pages in this book. It's a good book, but seriously not 100p./day good. My life is relaxing. If you'd like to unrelax me, gimmie a shout, I'm only here for another week. | | |
| I've been home for almost two weeks now. What have I accomplished? In reality? Nothing. In my pseudo-reality, a bit. I've visited a lot of friends and family, attended a wedding, and have successfully finished Wario's Woods and Super Ghouls and Ghosts for the SNES along with the beginnings of many other not-so-wonderful SNES games.
Alternately, I miss San Diego. I miss my Asians. I miss my roomies. I miss my TSA people. I miss my guy's group. I miss frickin' Future of Forestry. Dang, does anyone know when their new album actually comes out, or is it some big surprise they just won't tell anyone about? Gosh. Anyhow, Buffalo is anything but convenient, and I miss having everything 3 minutes away, but it's sort of nice to not have to get up at 3:30AM now, so I can't complain. Much. I've been debating spending the $20 to get FFXI and use that to pass the time before CTI, but when I think about spending $20 and many, many, many hours online just hacking away at things, though it sounds fun, I just cringe a little at what I'd be missing. Granted, I'll probably sit at my computer anyway and just play SNES games, but I'll be $20 less poor-er when CTI comes around.
Okay, it's bedtime. 12:45PM and I'm frickin' tired. I'm starting back up with the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. I ended on book 4 back in the end of the 9th grade, so I have absolutely no idea why anything is happening in the book right now. Gradually, it will come back to me. Thank goodness Robert Jordan is such a good writer or I'd be more totally lost. A'ight. G'night.

| My myspace was hacked. Why? I don't know. It's just gone. Boo hoo.
I'm going to my sister's house this weekend. Good times. Scratch that. I'm going to my sister's house in a few hours. Where do the days go?
I spent yesterday studying Japanese. Really, like, all day. My head hurts.
Dunn Bro's closes at 7 now. Yeah, so no late-night studying and no Starbucks to curb the addiction either. I officially hate Buffalo.
If I haven't called you in the last, oh, I don't know, two weeks, I'm sorry. I just haven't been with it and I've been all peopled-out so talking on the phone is pretty low on my list of things to do to pass the time between now and CTI. I'm going to get the rest of my support letters out today. By "rest" I mean the ones that I was going to hand out but never quite got to doing. However, the bills don't ever "never quite get" so I end up broke.
Here's to another day: cheers.

*EDIT*
Okay, it's back. My myspace, that is. I don't know what the deal was, but it's back. Woot Woot.

| I'm back in Minnesota, people. Derek and Dani are now one and it was a happy wedding. I headed off to my sister's house after the hokey pokey (somebody should've shot that DJ) and went to church with them on Sunday morning. Things are so much slower here in Minnesota. I took my sister and her husband (and their daughter!) out to Chipotle after church. That was the big excitement for the day. I love Chipotle. I love being back in Minnesota. I miss San Diego. I miss my San Diego people. San Diego people: I miss you! I'm heading off to Buffalo again tomorrow after I get some lunch with my grandpa (if he's up for it). I don't really have a lot planned for the next few weeks, but I'm going to try and record some stuff (I know, I say it a lot) and if I can, I'd like to get some coffee with all of you. Okay, it's G-parent time.

PS - I think I like Snow Patrol.
PPS - Today's title was a FT '04-'05 reference, just so you know.
