toby mac

i went to the state fair this weekend. rode lots of rides, ate lots of food, checked out some serious cool art, and went to see a Toby Mac concert!!!! how cool! I'm actually not his biggest fan but i do like his music .. sometimes.. i like his songs diverse city, city on our knees, made to love, and lose my soul. those are my favorites!!

snare drum

i have a snare drum in my bedroom. the question isn't how did it get there, it's why is it there?? i know the how.. i put it there. but why?! i have no clue!!

the snare has been in my room for only a couple of hours and it is already covered in clothes!! that can't be good for it! but how would i know... it hasn't been out of it's case in a year!!

and then all of a sudden my brother decides to PLAY the drums!! what?!? i mean seriously!! really?! hmm...

my favorite tweets

okay soo these are my favorite tweets so far.....

David Cook: trying to stockpile ideas for the writing sessions coming up..... forcing creativity is like taking pictures with the lens cap on...

Taylor Swift: woke up with a 13 imprint on my chin, apparently i slept on my hand and inevitably i won't be using a sharpie to write 13 on my hand anymore.

Selena Gomez: Isiah 1:18

Ashley Greene: Oh i just thought someone was yelling pickle at me ... turned out it was your ring tone

this was in reply to another person here's the that persons tweet: you never reply to me cuz I'm Latin right?
and Melissa Joan Hart's response was: not cuz your Latin but cuz i don't speak your language

yeah so that's it for now.. heh

movie idea!! :D :D

alright here goes....

i want to one day make a movie about my life. well the high school years. manly because i had a lot of funny experiences not to mention the drama in high school. i would have to mix it up a little to give myself a decent junior and senior year. but other then that i would stick to the truth. talk about all the crap i went through and some of the stuff some of my friends went through.
I've pretty much have the plot set.. k soo.. obviously i would start out at Marshall County High for freshmen and sophomore year. move to Atlanta for end of sophomore year and all of junior year. then back to Marshall for senior year. so i don't want to give anything away so imma gonna stop talking

later

a chase scene

we have to do a chase scene for basic videography which is really awesome.
so my idea was to have a group of mob guys sitting in a room and one of them is a snitch the others find out and the snitch takes off then the mob guys catch him and shoot him! huh huh awesome right?
well we went with there's a murdered women laying in the parking lot close up on her face come out to see her entire body mangled and dead (which I'm sure you caught with the murdered part). we then shoot a wide shot of the parking lot to show the scene of the crime it also shows a cop and a mysterious man lurking behind a car. tight shot on the lurking man's face. blood. next is a shot of the cop seeing the man and making his way towards him. we cut to see the lurking man dart off. cut. now a P.O.V (point of view) shot of the cop chasing the man we now assume is the criminal. that shot is seen from the cops' point of view (in case you didn't catch that). we then cut to the front of the chasing to where you can see both of their faces. then a static shot which basically means have them run across the screen. then the criminal precedes to climb a hill, jump on to a roof top and get away.
that was only the beginning. and were hoping it only takes about 30 secs. moving on. now we do another P.O.V shot where the criminal is lurking around again trying to sneak past the cop who is now flirting with a girl. cut to a wide shot of the officer seeing the criminal and taking off after him. we are now running down the halls of a school building. I'd say this is maybe a medium shot from behind. then we cut to the front with the two men running towards me (I've got the camera). the criminal is trying to escape through the back door. It's stuck. wiggle wiggle wiggle.. finally he gets through. through all of that i had a tight shot on his face. i have the camera and am outside and down the stairs getting another maybe medium shot. the criminal proceeds out the door and gets caught by the cop and is wrestled to the ground. the end. oh by the way it all happens in about 60 secs. yup awesome right?


p.s i came up with all the shots hahah i am awesome!! :D :D!!

dwts pt. 2

CONGRATS!!!! to those who got through this week. I'm very sad to see Tom leave .. i rather liked him. Debi however i am not. i wasn't really a fan of hers. but YAY! for Melissa for getting through!! :D much love. I was for sure that Micheal was gonna go home. but next week for sure. which gives Melissa at least another week to step up her game MAJORLY or she isn't gonna make it! i think she's great but as i said last time Natalie, Aaron, Mya, and Donny are extremely good which makes them excellent! so step it up Melissa or you're goin' home!

DWTS

i don't usually watch dancing with the stars but this year is different because i actually know who some of the stars are this year!!! Melissa Joan Hart was Sabrina the teenage witch, i LOVED that show as a kid!! it was awesome .... soo i am completely and totally rooting for Mrs. Hart to win!
of course i do think there is a good chance that Natalie Coughlin or Arron Carter could win. Arron is really, really good and any time any Olympic medalist has been on the show they've won. although we shouldn't think that she'll win just by that. so it's pretty much fair game this year with other people who are unexpectedly talented in the art of ballroom dancing like for example Ms. Kelly Osbourne, or Mr. Donny Osmond. this year is filled to the brim with talent so who knows who will win?! but I'm still voting for Melissa!!

school!

"I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus, it's just depressing to me. The poor little kids."
-Dolly Parton

okay school is well school. i go to trident tech in Charleston South Carolina. and i have one class on campus and one on the Internet! the Internet class is well .... to but it lightly a load of shit! i mean it's horrible i can't work the site, and i well i just hate it!!

but on the plus side i love my class on campus!! the class is basic videography and i LOVE it!! it's a lot of fun. we went shooting the other day! totally awesome. even if they were basically just still pictures. still totally awesome!

more books!!

i remember talking about the list at one point in time but ... I'm going to talk about it again! and of course that's because there's more books on this time! a lot more!!

you know what irritates me the most... the books I''m all excited to read but their not out yet! and then of course the library doesn't have them so i have to go and buy them!
but of course it's always worth it!!

i just ordered Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side and I'm really excited to read it i hope it gets here soon. like tomorrow but i doubt it. haha.

i also want to go to the library .. i know i know. but they actually have a book i want this time!! but i have to go soon or it'll be gone .. like always! it's called Wizard Heir the second book in that series, the first is called The Warrior Heir, I'm not entirely sure what the second one is about but I'm pumped to find out!

another book series I've gotten into recently is the Shadow Children series it's about a kid named Luke and his a third child ... which is illegal so he must hide all the time and never be seen. then he finds out about another child like him and everything changes! it's really good! i need to get the second book called Among the Impostors the first is called Among the Hidden!

i just finished reading Blood Promise the fourth book in the Vampire Academy series i already can't wait for Spirit Bound the fifth book in the series. it comes out in May! Blood Promise is amazing!!

A book i read about on a blog i stumbled upon mentioned a book called Hush Hush it's about a fallen angel who falls in love with a human.. (i think) i don't know much about it. but it sounds really cool!!

yeah I'm tired of typing so I'm gonna stop. but there are soo many more books to be talked about that i don't know what I'm gonna do!?! well, bye!

books

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. ~E.L. Doctorow

I'M WRITING A BOOK!! well maybe, I've barely even started. but i like where it's headed so yeah!! :) I'm totally having fun with this!! * wiggles eyebrows* hehe this is fun!!!

i've never really been the best author before. but i guess all the reading I've done lately has helped with that. i don't know!! so I'll guess we'll see!

oh by the way i never finished reading harry potter 6 .. i gave up. it bored me! blah blah blah that was all i was hearin'!! and i was catchin' some serious ZzzzZzzzzZZZzzzs

harry potter

harry potter was really good. not as scary as i thought it would have been. all the others were a lot darker than this one. although the ending of the movie was pretty dark with all the epic battles and such..... it was indeed very cool....
it was also incredibly funny. hilarious!! not to mention all the teen hormones. which made it even funnier.
oh and by the way i never did finish my mission of reading harry potter and the half blood prince. i'm still reading it though .. i'll let you know when i'm finished with it.

a mission

"everything on earth has a purpose, every disease a herb to cure it, and every person a mission."


I'm on a mission. A mission to finish harry potter and the half blood prince BEFORE the movie comes out on Tuesday. it's an impossible mission i know, but i am still determined to do it. i will start immediately... so i must leave you now so i can start reading ....

ta ta for now!! hehe

the list

i have created a list. a book list. it's a list of all the books i would like to read. i think it's up to like 15 or so ... and those were only the ones on the top of my head.. ugh .. geez to many books so little time. i just keep discovering new books i would like to read. it's driving me absolutely nutty.

i discovered a blog today about books it was all about books. and they were mostly the kind of books i liked to read..... ah ...and so the list grew!!

it's quite sad how i don't seem to have the time, money, or the space on my book shelve to read soo many books and yet ... i don't seem to care i just keep buying more and more books spending less and less time out in the real world and clearing more space on my shelves. before you know it I'm going to be one of those people who never leave their house... i must stop this madness.. need sunlight ... need social interaction.... ahhh.... dying.. bah hum bug ....

well while i work on balancing a social life and reading as many books as possible you should check out that blog i was talking about ... thebookbind.blogspot.com
maybe you'll find a book worth reading to.

july 4th

"it is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you"
-Dick Cheney

Okay so i know it's late but i haven't been on the computer for a while... SO I'm gonna post now...

July 4th is the day that we (Americans) have put aside to celebrate our freedom. The day we give respect to those few men and women who have chosen to protect this precious land we call home. The day we eat hot dogs and hamburgers, have extra fries with ketchup and mustard mixed together while watching the local high school marching band march down the street playing something patriotic in the your town's parade.

July 4th is a day of fun and laughter, cheerful feelings, and family, but it's also a day of remembering how we've got to be where were at today all the wars we've fought all the loses we've had. All the times we as a country have fallen apart and all the times we've come together.

we should never forget what we have been through to become this beautiful, free country. Let's remeber to celebrate our freedom every single day!!

war

"you cannot prevent and prepare for war at the same time" -Albert Einstein

War is not a subject to be taken lightly. To be honesty i hate talking about stuff like this, but I will do so any way.
i believe that there is no such thing as world peace. although i do believe in peace. war is inescapable. humans have it written in their d.n.a to fight and to cause wars over nothing.
Wars are always caused by one of three things 1. sex 2. money or 3. religion!
i suppose you would want some proof, well i can give you a war for each i cause.... for the first one sex would be troy vs. Greece commonly known for it's place in the Odyssey. the second one, money, which i often feel that money equals power clearly making it the root of all evil comes up as the American revolution. the Americans of course weren't looking for power or more money at the time but Britain was, fortunately for me the Americans had a real reason to win. But enough of that let's move on to number three religion the easy answer to that is the crusades ... which is a no brainer when comes right down to, I mean I don't know the specifics of the crusades in fact i basically no nothing more than that it was about religion .. i know that Christians were involved and i would bet money that either Muslims or Jews or on the other side fighting! but i would put more on it being Muslims.

I hate war and wished it would end but as i said earlier there is no such thing as world peace. i can only hope ad pray that I am wrong!

dream

i often have dreams of my near future. what i will look like, what i will be doing stuff like that. sometimes i think about what my life will look like when i am in my 50s and 60s when my life is starting to fade. i wish i could know for sure what my life would be like in the future. but i know that thinking about t is all i will ever have. i can't know for sure. even if i wanted to. but i look at it like this if i knew the the truth about my future it would be like reading the last page of a very good book..... it would ruin everything. the adventures i would have, the story, the trials, the successes and the failures. life should be a mystery and not a open book. only god should know.
my dreams often consist of me with the ideal children and lots of money two houses and a life worth living a life any one would envy......

......... although i know that isn't the case i still dream!! and i will keep dreaming until i get what i want... or until i get close enough!!

18

On Saturday June 13Th I turned 18 years of age. it hasn't really sunk in yet. i don't feel any different, am i suppose to. i wouldn't think so.

i had a really cool party though!! i got a bunch of gift cards. however i did get some cash ... oh and a book .. umm.... the HOST by Stephenie Meyer. my sister gave it to me. she can be nice .. when she wants to be! which is not often by the way.
although i would have liked there to been my friends (who are my age) didn't show.. mostly the people who came were people who've seen me in diapers. they told me stories about me when i was a kid and apparently i was quite the talker and i told some tall tales. haha.... not to mention the stories about all the times i called my sister my Shea!! ahh .... ugh..... ha...
everyone was all like were soo proud at how who've grown up.... and you've turned into quite the young lady ...
other than that there's not much to tell!
oh well!!

cop cars

"hey look a cop car, Stevie what you do?"
*looks over* "that's a taxi"

hehe i tend to surround myself with stupid people. but i don't mind. i find them hilarious. hehe they crack me up!!
this particular time happened to be at the wgi world championships. it was a five day event in Ohio. me and my friend Vicky were out in the parking lot (and for those of you who don't know.. that's where drummers often practice) watching all the awesomeness that is wgi and we were about to cross the street when we see flashing lights that's when Vicky said "hey look a cop car, Stevie what you do?" my response was one of amusement when i bent around the corner and saw that is was really a taxi. Vicky wasn't real pleased with that because i was the one who got the last laugh that time. but rest asured that she got me back.


oh yeah by the way my team placed tenth in our class!!!! hehe YAY!! haha....

books

through literacy you can begin to see the universe. through music you can reach anybody. between the two there is you unstoppable.
- grace slick

contrary to common belief i love to read. reading gives me the chance to be someone whom i could never be. currently i have a vampire obsession i have three different vampire series in my room. my favorite is twilight. the other two are marked or the house of night novels and the vampire academy series. they seem to all have the ability to suck me in and they don't let go until i have finished the book. i mean it's really like i can't stop reading until I've reached the end and even then they leave me wanting more.
other then that I've read maximum ride, the warrior stone, and the five ancestors book 6 mouse in the last few months. although i've read all this i seem to have nothing to read at the moment ... soo sad.. i'm totally bored without my books. i have nothing but the television.. ugh.

family

families are like fudge - mostly sweet with nuts

- author unknown

i have family all over the country but i don't speak to most of them. it's not that we have problems its that we just don't talk. families can occasionally be fun and exciting. i am currently visiting my sister, aunt, uncle, and 2 cousins. today i went to my cousin sam's pre-k graduation. it was hilarious! they perfromed a few songs, this one little kid kept doing this little dance move were he would spread his arms out it was like watching that one movie uhh... bring it on.. spirit fingers!! hehe

ugh...

when did we become adults and how do we make it stop

-Meredith Grey, Grey's anatomy

when i was kid i remember thinking that being an adult, that growing up was gonna be fun and easy..... haha.... yeah right!
the only part of life that is easy or at least usually is easy is childhood. little kids are oblivious to the outside world. the hardships, the trials, and the complications.
my life has been easy for the most part .. nothing to terrible but I've had my fair share of issues. I grew up fast and strong. being a teenager was nothing like i thought it would be i figured it would be partying and hangin' with friends all my days .... i was wrong of course.
it was more like waking up at 6 am, band practice all day and homework till 2 am. although I've more than my fair share of friends which of course I'm not complaining about. but let me tell you band drama is truly the worst kind of drama. I blame it on the guard girls .. or perhaps gossip girls is more appropriate.
by all standards I've had a boring and yet fun life so far..... my problem: how do i keep it that way. without the boring part that is.
