I saw this on Jered’s Blog, and thought it would be a rather interested experiment to do.
It’s called Johari Window, and there is a list of different adjectives, and it has you select a few of those adjectives that you feel describe yourself. If you’re interested in letting me know what your really think of me, visit this link.
Be honest as you’d like, I don’t really care. I just think it would be interested to see what people come up with for my personality.
For those of you who can’t read Japanese, that says, “Bowling is fun!” So Rick, Jeremy, my brother, my Dad, and myself all went bowling tonight. Unfortunately, I didn’t bowl too well but Rick apparently had a few tricks up his sleeve. He did a lot better than I think any of us expected him to do, so he beat us on the first game, but we weren’t able to finish the second game in time. But we did get lots of pictures, which I might post at sometime or another if I actually feel like it. So check the comments section and you might get lucky and see a few!
…but only when they’re green! I accomplished something today, that very few people have had the oppertunity to accomplish. For those of you who live in Birmingham, and have been down Lakeshore Drive will know exactly what I am talking about. And here it is. I actually made it all the way from 280 to Samford without hitting a single stoplight. That is all, thank you.
So, after last Thursday’s small disaster with the Sax, I decided to play my cornet today at the basketball game, considering that the good sax was in the shop and I’ve split all my reeds. I was shocked at how many people actually commented on me playing cornet. At least half of the people in the band took a second look, and asked me what instrument I was going to play next. I might take up Brett on his offer and pick up the tuba just to see what people say.
But in either case, I hope the sax comes back from the shop pretty soon. We play at a double-header sometime next week, and if the men or women’s team win then we’ll go to Nashville for the NCAA tourney. I certainly don’t want to still be playing trumpet at that point, and will be more than happy to be playing sax again.
But after the game Jeremy and I ran around for a bit and did a few errands. I ran by the Best Buy in Hoover, and that one didn’t have the controller I was looking for either. What’s a guy got to do to get the things he needs?
…one week later. So I have a test in my Art 200 class today, and planned on leaving a little early so I could show up and have a few minutes of review study. So I go out to my car, and you can probably take a guess at what’s happened. Nothing.
So now I have to get my car taken to the shop on the worst possible day of the week. I just hope it’s fixed pretty soon, because I have a test tomorrow night so I either need to find rides here and back or get a car from my parents until I get it fixed.
I must admit, the title is somewhat misleading considering I didn’t actually see any snow but we stood a pretty good chance of actually getting snow today, with as cold as the weather was.
Went home for a little while today and got my taxes filed early for once, along with completing the last FASFA I should have to ever do for myself. After that, I came home and watched some of the olympics. Watching the snowboarding halfpipe reminded me how much I’ve missed snowboarding this year. My family usually goes out to Snow Shoe, WV every year, although it was really a tough year for finances this year so we couldn’t really afford to go. Although, I might consider it for spring break if my finances are good, the weather is good, and I can find a decent spring break deal.
So yesterday was just one of those days. I had left band slightly early so I could try to make my lessons on time on the other side of town. So I walk out to my car and try to unlock, and it won’t unlock with the keyless entry, so I just assume the batteries in the key unit are dead. So I manually unlock my door, and put the keys in the ignition and try to crank and nothing happens. No lights, the engine doesn’t turn over nothing. I figure, no problem since I can get a jumpstart and be on my way. Jeremy was busy with a lesson at the time so I called Mike to come help jumpstart me. So we were outside for around 30 minutes unsuccessfully trying to jumpstart my car.
It gets better. So then I pick up my phone to call my student to let them know I won’t be able to make it, but my screen was dead. Completely black. I couldn’t make any outgoing calls unless I already knew the number. So Jeremy finally finishes with his lesson and I call him to make sure I can get a ride back if I can’t get started. So then I call campus safety as a last resort, and they were somehow finally able to get my engine going, but by this time it’s 6pm and my students are by now 30 minutes away so there’s no way I could make it. So now I had to go home and find some sort of software that would allow me to pull everything from my phone, my contacts, ringtones, everything so that I can hopefully transfer it to a new phone.
I think my mouse batteries are dead too. What’s next?
Well, it’s that time of year again. Winter has finally come and made it’s impact in Alabama, and it’s only February. This week highs will be in the low 40s with lows anywhere from low 20s to even in the teens possible. Maybe we’ll actually see snow sometime soon, a phenomenon I haven’t seen happen here in Alabama for quite a while now.
Yesterday, there was apparently a fire in Russel (the computer science building) and no, it wasn’t a drill. Someone happened to blow up their lunch in the microwave, or something along those lines. It made me late to class, considering that my books were on the inside, I was on the outside, and my class was halfway across campus.
Ahh… finally all but one of my books have arrived. I can actually accomplish things at school now! We had another pep-band game as well today, I think I’m finally somewhat getting the hang of the sax! I’m still missing a few notes here and there, but for the most part it’s getting a little easier.
Rick came over and visited us again today. As much as he’s been over here, I think we should start making him pay rent. I’m sure Jeremy could loan out his closet, there’s enough room for a bed in there. Unfortunately, I couldn’t join in the fun because I had to do homework since my books finally arrived. Oh well…
I sure I’m probably going to regret this in the morning. But I’ve been working on the comments script for a few hours now and I believe I have most everything working as I had originally planned. Now your emails will no longer be listed, but rather your username should now point to your website, blog or whatever. Also, your login name and username should be two different things now as well.
However, I need those of you who have registered to do me a favor. Go to the comments page (any one is fine) and modify your profile making sure to update your name, and your website address. Please let me know when you have done so by replying to this post so I can debug yet even more and make sure everything is working. Off to bed now… Zzzz….
