Worshipping another...

Graduation time again....and I remember why I disliked this period of my life. It seems as though pretty much anyone and everyone that has ever come in contact with me had their eyes' on me. Alright, alright....we aren't worshipping the seniors literally - but everything we are doing is somewhat suspicious of that. We hold Senior Sunday church services for pete's sake! Banquets, ceremonies, parties - what are we doing?!?! I have been thinking about this quite a bit today, since I was not a fan of all the adoration when I was a senior. What does this do to our students? Does it add any unecessary stress to their already changing lives'?

Just a tidbit of what I have been thinking about today. I have more, but really, I won't dive into it. Some aspects of the public education system frustrate me, and it has really opened my eyes to the future of my children. I realize, my cousin Tracy is a teacher....however, I said some aspects of the system. She's overworked and underpaid and it's sad that we don't pay more attention to educators who have invested time and effort in to children who have sometimes been deemed "hopeless" and additions to our state's already higher than typical dropout rates.

ANYWAYS!!!! Boring day yet again. I am going to start on a new music project tomorrow...mainly to keep myself busy. I need to start writing again...and I think I need to start being creative to get back in the game. I am going to start coming up with some instrumentals (hopefully) and build from there. Tomorrow is also .5ive. Set looks good..should be a good one.

My brother is ending up possibly getting to graduate. He failed government, like I mentioned, however, the school is allowing him to go and take the class again (in two days) in the means of a few tests and then he can get his diploma and walk. I am happy for him. I will continue to pray for him, because he is dead set on Washington. If that's where he's going, God's going to be there too! It may not be the smartest decision for him, but, in life, it's all about your decisions.

Well, I am off. I am listening to a bunch of new music. Blake stole my thunder about the new Ashley Parker Angel record. Whether he was being serious or not, I am listening to it. I watched the show and thought it was cool how the record came together. Production quality is good, typical pop I think - but not always bad. Also listening to the Amos Lee stuff that I saw on Austin City Limits. Dude is freakin' amazing!!!!

Alright, I am out...
