I lied. Okay, I admit. I told a bold-face lie. I didn't update "tomorrow", I didn't update the next day, and nor did I make a post taht week. I feel awful, just downright dispicable for being dishonest to my faithful readers who, even in my absence, carry on the very goal of my blog - to stay connected. It's just such an awful situation, I truly hope that you guys will continue to check back here, even though, I probably won't post. Why did I lie? Because I'm a bad person...

Life's been pretty weird the last few weeks. Things have been consuming my day and I find myself at midnight wondering where the time went. I have been busy trying to catch up in my classes and do some work with Reason. Guys, I have some cool stuff to share with you from my recent exploration of Reason. I am working on my site as we speak. I am attempting to move my blog to justinromack.com and store all my Reason files there. Have some pretty cool loops, songs, and projects to which I am actually going to turn in for a grade in my electronic music class. I just got done an hour or so ago on a project I had with Dave. We came up with a hip-hop track called "Pearl Harbor at Sunset". Why is it called that??? I have no freakin' idea....

Been doing a lot of work on drum lessons. I just got asked to teach another student. I am rally excited about this opportunity because I am finding out more and more that God has allowed me to work well with kids. I feel it's definately a gift...because a lot of people cannot do it. I am drawing ever closer to the idea of teaching one day...but, I just don't know what. I am scheduling a meeting with a career counselor next spring and we are coming up with a plan for my final few semesters so that I can find the accomodations I need for my career. Exciting stuff!

On the drum front...I am in the process of securing funds for a new drum kit. I had some pretty neat contributions to this fund from my family and have some good support. I am looking at the DW route...which I will have custom-built through either Guitar Center or a custom drum shop called West Coast Drums. I am not sure when this purchase is going to occur, but it is becoming more probable as the days progress. I am meeting with a guiy from Guitar Center this week to get a price quote and a better idea of what to do. I have considered a few other options, but I am wadding through them....I will keep you posted.....actually, I may lie again.

Church has been really interesting lately. We have started our Join the Journey "campaign" and it is going well. We had some mishaps that were resolved that definately hindered us for a while...but God prevails! In the last week, it is my understanding that the numbers have doubled for sign-up. I am trying to shake the mentality of looking at numbers, because I am not a numbers person - but it's an easy trap to fall into. I would definately recommend you guys checking out the Journey. Go to www.gracebiblechurch.com and read more. It's very exciting. In other church news, I had the week off completely this past week. I did run sound for Crosspoint, but that was by choice. It was very relaxing not to have practices and whatnot, but I am actually really anxious to play this week.

Well, I am off to sleep. Going to the vet with Mandi and Angela tomorrow. Have two drum lessons and a report to begin working on. Alright, I will post sometime again - better not set a time frame...I don't like setting myself up for failure.

Peace!

Good to see you're posting again!
