In 2 Days

It'll be my prelim round (I'm in the 2nd round) for the King of the Blues competition at Guitar Center. My round starts this Thursday, 7:00 at the San Jose GC, if anyone is interested in coming to watch me, or support me that'd be really cool :]

I'm so nervous and excited at the same time, after reviewing a couple of the KOTB prelim videos that people put up for the 1st round. There are some very good players and some...not-so-good players, haha. I just wish I didn't have to compete here in San Jose cause I know that there are some really good players in this area...Hopefully all the bad players signed up for the second round!

I'm keepin' it simple - Playing over a track called "A Minor Affair" and I'm probably going to take my Les Paul and just one or two pedals (Fulltone OCD and Mosfet) right into a Fender Deville or Hot Rod Deluxe. I've got parts of it mapped out but on the other hand, I know when I play live, things somewhat change, especially when there happens to be people watching and listening.

Hopefully I don't get placed with a bunch of blues veterans and get swept the first round...That would totally suck :[

Anyhow, I'll be practicing/praying/worrying all day today and tomorrow - Wish me the best, thanks!

Another Day

Back from retreat, it was pretty sweet.

So lots of friends are heading off to college. I have loved and cherished the class of 09 - It really pains me to have them leave church because they were perhaps the greatest encouragement to me in so many ways.

But enough of that, God is moving in mighty ways and I'm anxious to get swept up in the tide. The school year is about to start and I need to think of strategies to tackle it so that I may seriously conquer for Christ, one day at a time.

TODAY, I must:

Apply to places for a job

Go to Ohlone to schedule an appointment with a counselor

QT

Practice for King of the Blues

Work with my sister for her community service hours for PJ

Lets do it!
