i think that my junior recital is going to be on the 27th of feb. that is not much time. i know what tunes i am doing.

they are,

1 the rainbow connection-played as a duet on the vibes with guitar.

2. interplay-slow blues, head played on vibes then the rest on set

3. anthropology-drum solo to start, then very up-tempo throughout the the rest.

4. nardis-very arranged, lots of hits and stops

5. love for sale- brushes, then sticks,up tempo

6. menina moca- fast samba

i think it is going to kick ass. it will be a guitar trio with a trumpet.

we roasted a pig this past weekend. it was some of the best pork i have ever eaten in recent memory. in fact, i almost liked some of it better than what i have gotten at my favorite places in memphis. shocking, but true. we stuffed it with pineapple, apple, onions, lime, and lemon. we named it steamboat charlie.

mmmm, deluscious!

hey there

>>>i need to start going to bed earlier. i love the night, but i have gotten in a bad way with my sleeping and the over doing of it. class is good. i am not sure why i am opting to miss it for a little bit more sleep. i think it is because the semester is winding down and i am starting to lose a bit of steam.
>>>i go home in a few days for the wedding of theresa's brother. funny...he is marrying a girl that i went to high school with. the world is small. i will drink at this wedding. and i will eat. and i will dance. and it will be a good time. i look forward to having a purple mouth from all of the wine that is consumed on my behalf.
>>>i need to get a fellowhip or something when i finish undergrad so that i do not have to pay for grad school. germany is awesome, mybe i should just go there and get a degree from germany and teach over there and play. that would be sweet.
>>>the weather has become a bit brisk in these parts. no longer are we sweating all the way to class like we were in recent history. now, the nights are cold. the house is cold. there is no insulation.
>>>for the halloween i was a cross between a scout and a folk's folly employee. and by that, i mean that i have a folk's folly t-shirt that i wore along with the scout uyniform. not a very good costume, but whatever. i only had three beers on halloween. and that is the most beers i ahve had in a while, or what seems like a while. in actuallity, it is only about a month, but going from almost everyday to not at all is a big change.
>>>it's always sunny in philadelphia is one of the funniest shows to ever hit the tv. way to go fx network for being bold in the face of the fcc.
i got to go.

once again, it has been an extraordianry long time since i have poted anything to this thing.
-i just got back fomr visiting chicagofor my fall break. saw dave. saw mike. missed the hell out of chicago. started thinking that maybe i shoudl go to grad school at depaul.
-i live in knoxville now. that is weird. i never thought that day would come. it is nice here though. there ar mountains. the music program is actually awesome. i have a badass drum teacher. i play a lot. i am getting better and better.
-i am broke. starting to realize that i am living what i will be living for quite a long time unless i score a job teaching at a college after grad school.
-i think that i am going to go ahead and stop smoking again. i ahve gine back and forth on it. sometimes, i feel dingy and want to drink and smoke a lot. lately, i have barely smoked at all and realized yet again that i am really not a smoker. so, with that, i will say that i am not stopping completely because when you do that it makes you want to have one, but if i say that i dont really want any, any more, then i wont really smoke at all. maybe one every now and then, or if i am really drunk.
-i am glad that i really like listeing to jazz again. i was worried before i moved here.
-when iwas in chicago, i went to chinatown and bought what i call poop-tea. we went into some herb shops and things like that and i decided that i was having a hard time with keeping my system regular since i had been there. which was true. for some reason, things were not happening the way they should. so i bought some poop-tea. i have no idea if it is because of the tea, but i have been much better since i returned to knoxville. maybe i was just nervous or something. p.s. i hate pooping in publis places. props to girls who get used to it and and pee and poop anywhere.
panera kicks ass. they have this new cheese soup that is so good and makes you feel warm. what a great thing.
-oh, i am also a little tired of drinkking. at least to excess. which means that i think that i will stick to scotch for a while. or really good beer. or a 7 dollar bottle of wine. being broke really does good things for you i have decided. you cant afford to do thigns that are really bad for you when you have no money. all that you can spend your money on is food and the occassional treat to yourself. i still want a lot of money though. either that, or a job that sends me all over the world just to play music. i want to go to india and china and japan right now. i have decided that i am on a big asia kick.

last night was probably the first night that i have partied since being in college this year. i have had beer, and friends from memphis have been here, but i actually went out with people that i met here and drank with them. how funny is that, that one week from the end of school i start to make friends. oh well. i think it is kind of funny.

the problem with partying though is that i have forgotten what happens the next morning. i had class today and i did not wake up until shortly after my second class had already started. i thought maybe i can get there before i miss too much. but then, i tried to get up and my stomach and head were in some big trouble. eventually there was some vomit. there was some advil consumed. some coffee was consumed. either way, now by the end of the day, i am starting to feel a bit better/back to normal. and, i have to work tech tonight. not sure what i will be breaking down and moving around, but i know that it is going to be somthing that will leave my dogs barking.

my birthday is on sunday. thats awesome. i will be having more beer at that point.

i kind of want to cut my hair again. it is getting long enough to pull into a pony tail and i do like having long hair, but, it was fun having short hair too. and there is a lot less to deal with when it is short. granted, i did not really work to hard on my hair when it was long. but when it is short, it gets in the way less when it is short. plus, it makes me look older, which wont really matter too soon.

the hope scholarship stuff pisses me off. i received a whole bunch of hope money when i went to UM and i stikk have the grades to get it, but since i am coming back to a TN school, i am no longer eligible. boooooo. you would think that TN would be happy that a student would leave tn and then come back after leaving. they should be thinking me...with thousands of dollars.

anyway, i gots to eat. and watch youtube.

my apartmen smells really bad. well, not my apt, but rather my apt building. to the point where i started wondering if there was a dead body in one of the other units that is decomposing right now. then i thought, no, that is probably not what it is. it does smell really bad though. you know the smell when there is a bunch of food in your sink that is rotting and you have to spenhd a couple of hours cleaning it out and letting it air out and all of that? well it is that but even stronger. and it has been there for several days now.

school is almost over. what an interesting thng that is. i am leaving chicago and going down to knoxville. well, i still have not heard from the official office of admissions, but i am in the music school and there is no reason why i shoiuld not be in the regular school. i am planning on living with kip wright. i di believe that will be a hoot. a major one.

i am quite excited about my hindu class. our last class was today and i got back my last essay before the big term paper and i got an A- on it. that may seem subpar to many who get continous A's, but i have only recieved 75's in that class. as well as my philosophy class. i don't know what it is, but for some reason, i have been unable to break that. when i study really hard, i get the same grades as the times when i show up to class, unaware that there was even a quiz that day. so, i am excited now because i finally wrote a paper that worked for my teacher. and, that means that my final grade will be better than i was expecting. hopefully i will be able to knock out that final paper and will wind up with a B in that class. ooooh, that would be outstanding.

i turn 21 on sunday. my big paper is due the next day. i am not too sure when i will be celebrating my birthday. sometime before the 9th of may. that is all i know.

i did a german project for class that was a dialogue. my partner dissappeared so i did a monologue. but i talked to my shoe so it was almost a dialogue. my peer comments were things like, you sold it really well. a job well done. you sounded like a real german. ho'yeah, hot damn, who rocked the german class. it's me!

i have not been xmoking much at all. i have not bought a pack in 2 or 3 weeks. i have had a couple from dave when drinking or offered, but i have taken it away as a daily habit. i feel good about that.
sidebar---------carlos mencia is a total dumbass!---------------

ice cream is good.
dr pepper is good.
it is dark in my apt. the lights are not on.
the doors are good.

supposed to go home today but there are problems with dave's car. we decided to go ahead and leave anyway, but i think that dave is still asleep so i am just waiting for him to wake up so that we can leave. hurry up davo.

golf is awesome. some of you may be nay-sayers when it comes to the sport of golf, but it is absoloutely awesome. the masters is on this week and i have been watching some stuffa bout it on the golf channel the past day or two. it gets me really excited about playing. sometimes i think it would be really fun to play at a proffesional level. i am nowhere near that level, but that would be awesome to make money by spending all your time playing outside on beautiful pieces of land, all over the world. a pretty sweet deal, i'd say.

i went to dunkin donuts today. that place is not good. every now and then, i think i should go there because there is one next to my apt. i think, they make a decent doughnut. but no. it is not good. their drinks are unbelieveably sweet, the food is not good. just bad news.

i

this is a new day. and i have only let about a week pass before updating this doohicky again. i am going home for the weekend in order to update my driver's license. it shoudl be a good time. there will be warm weather, a beer or two, driving, enjoying and not thinking about school. school sucks. the classes that i am taking this semester are no where near as much fun or interesting as i had hoped. maybe it is that i am not as motivated for the classes as i should be.

i finally have some money again. it is a good thing to see how well you can survive with only about 20 dollars to your name. it definitely helps with your money soending abilities. i never thought that i had a problem with spending money, but it is good to go for about 10 days on 20 bucks.

champagne sucks. i do not like it. the carbonation and the dryness just is no good. if you are going to go that way, get a wicked red wine and get yourself feeling warm and soft.

i have decided that this is going to turn into a sort of deep thoughts entry. therefore:

1.the things that i have already mentioned above.
2. dr pepper is a really good pick me up when the day is going in a direction that you do not expect.
3.the weather in chicago is weird as shit.
5. if i were a chef, i would call myself 'chez hunter, the helper of hungry horse's asses that do not know how to cook for themselves'. the interesting about this is that i do not often cook for myself. a contradiction of points one might notice.
6. the food is good in the south. they know how to do certain things a whole lot better than people in the north.
7. i think i would enjoy helping people iff'n i was a doctor or surgeon.
8. shorts make your legs feel good. girls, i imagine that skirts feel good.
9. it is always good to let make sure that you feel alive. if that means smoking a cigarette in order to make your throat hurt, then do it. i am sure that there are better ways to do it, but i think you should always try to feel alive.
10. i want to live in a cabin for a while.
11. carlos mencia is a dumbass.
12. i bet the moon is really an interesting place.

ok. go time. feel free to comment on theses thoughts and add your own or criticize them.

hooontahrr of the hill people

i am going to germany. may9-may23. there will be some beer drinking. also, there will be sitting on the corner os a street in jena germany with me on guitar and Daniel(friend in germany) on banjo. american songs will be played. maybe to make enough money to drink at the bar that night. there will also be grilling in a garden.

possibly a trip to budapest or prague. maybe both. i would like them both.

i miss playing rugby. i also miss the shape i was in when playing rugby.

oh yes. i will also probably be in knoxville next semester. music degree change back to. glory.

bored today. slept most of day. gray outside. foggy. not comletely cold which is good. tomorrow is supposed ot be up around 70. mmmm, a delight if true. hopefully, schoolwork will be done on my part on the morrow.

guten abend,
hunter

that 70's show is such a good show.

i just did a bunch of dishes that have been stacking up for a long time. there was a minimal amount of gunk thankfully. there is still a large amouunt to do. i have to do them in shifts because there were so many.

i go home on saturday. very nice. although, in some ways i am quite neutral about going home. at this point i am startin gto feel good about being here, and i have done so much work recently that i almost do not want to go and get into the habit of goofing off back on the homefront. though i do indeed have quite a bit of work to do when i arrive home. i must practice constantly, drink with friends, work some shifts at spr. i must get some transfer applications together. learn german again. actually, i went to a coho with davo yesterday and read a lot of german. it felt good to get that back in my head. i wasn;t having to think about what i was reading or translate it as i was reading. i could get the picture from the german words. a good deal.

i have had some pizza as of late, but i do believe that is what i shall enjoy tonight for dinner. one pizza can mean several meals. i only need a total of three more meals while here so that should cover it.

i really want to go to germany. i am hungry.

the other day, i had the idea that it would be fun to start to brew beer. i found a recipe for makign it in a coffee maker. it would probably taste like shit, but that would be awesome to be able to brew my own beer. fiddle with the recipes and the ingredients to see what i could do to spice up the flavor. figure out what it takes to make the beer really dark and thick and what it takes to make it light and such. oh, and the really exciting thing that comes with the business of alcohol...tomorrow night i shall be drinking a toast to the end of the semester with a glass of single malt scotch. what tasty glory.

hindu done. writing seminar almost done. then on to the philosophy paper. madness. conrad is a champion. read joseph conrad. awesome. i am thinkning of reading much more of his business at this point. listening to warren zevon at the moment. great. it is really sad that he died. he was so weird. if you haven't taken the time to listen to his lyrics, do so. they are insane. exciteable boy is about this young boy raping and killing his date to the junior prom. he gets thrown away into a reform type place and when he gets out, he digs up the bones and puts them in a cage. what?! then there is the ever popular werewolves of london. it is popular enough that itis not that wierd to anyone anymore, but that is still a goofy song. the lyric: a little old lady got mutilated late last night. that is such a good lyric. well done zevon! roland the headless thompson gunner. need i say more? he is just totally goofy, at least his earlier stuff. i am not too sure how is later stuff came out. and i imagine that his album that he did right before he died is rather dark. i think it is more acoustic than others, at least from what i remember, but he probably messes with his impending death on the album. hats off to warren zevon.
noe i must find my way back into work mode and finish this writing smeniar paper and get rolling on the philo. almost done. then, vermouth.

heyo, the semester is on the verge of ending and there is much work to be done. i have many a paper to write, though i amalmost finished with the first big one. hinduism and how it relates to what plato speaks of. but it is actually waht the teachings of krsna are in the bhagavad gita. man, hinduism is so totally badass! i would recommend that everyone take a while and read some and work through it with your head.
i am really wanting to go to germany right now. dave's friend daniel is there right now and has lived there for several years. he went to school there on a foreign exchange type of thing. anyway, here is the nifty deal about what he tells us about going to germany. if you apply there as an international student, directly to any school you want, you can attend for free as a US citizen. that way, you do not have to go through any programs or crap with your main school. the draw back i think is that the credits may be a little bit funny when trying to get them to transfer back, but, you can go to school wherever you want. how great is that. so i am thinking that next spring i will do my best to be in germany. part of me thinks that i should not worry about where i will be in school in the fall and just try to go to germany then, but that is a bit too rash. anyay, deutschland!
i gots to get my german back on track. i used to be so good at it when i was in high school. and this summer i was getting a lot better at it. sometimes i think i shoudl be a language major. yet again, i have no idea what i would do with that except to have a chance to travel all the time, but...

dr pepper is crazy tasty. i feel bad when i drink it so much though so i have to only have it on occasion, but god that stuff is good. pepper up at 10, 2, and 4. that is what the dr said. the guy who created it said that those were the times of day where the body naturally starts to slow down and get drowsy, and the way to combat that is to PEPPER UP. how graet is that?

i want to be in a studio. playing constantly. mmmmm, it is always fune doing that. i want to play really bad.

alright, so right now things are not too bad. i've got star trek on the tv, i just ate some lunch, it is friday, i am indeed wearing pants, you know, good stuff. anyway, i really want to fly planes now! my goodness the urge to do so is becoming a bit crazy. oh well. for those that watch lost, the guy that plays locke is cameo-ing right now as a crazy admiral that is hell bent on getting some random object that was blown off from some ship into a asteroid somewhere. hmmm, i have some wicked work to do before the semester ends. i cannot remember what i mentioned last eve, but i have a 20 page paper due a week from monday, then a philo paper due on the same day, and then a hindu paper due the day after that, and then i have to read about 6 chapters of astronomy in the next week. i have really worked myself into a bit of a hole, but it will all come together. so, beyond that, tthe only things that i can think to sya are random thoughts. and, go:

1.i really hope that for santa-day i get a new turntable. i think my parents need to pool their money in order to afford it.
2.i cannot stand those commercials for things like 'helios' or 'trios' or any of those damn phones that people are too stuck up to call a phone. dont call us a phone company...go to hell. they are all phones, they just do other unnecessary functions. why would you want tobe able to do all of that internet connection crap from a phone anyway. when you are away from home and doing stuff on your own time, why spend it being connected to everyone else. it is crazy.
3.it snowed here last eve and we got about 4-5 inches. but it is wicked cold. on sunday, the high is supposed to be about 16 degrees. 16 DEGREES! what cold madness. my, my.

i am watching spiderman 2 with davo this eve. thankfully he is done with his quarter which means that we can hang out now with out him being crazy busy. though i am going to be crazy busy. whatever.
this isit.

i have no idea wheter or not anyone still reads my lj since i never update it, due to the fact that most of the time i forget that i have one. anyrods, if anyone out there knows of a good flight simulator game that will work on a mac, let me know. a combat flight sim preferably. for some reason, i have been on an even bigger plane kick than normal and cannot get flying and planes out of my head. oh god, and then there is space. what an awesome thing and thought.
on the trip home, i had a weird time. i think i need to not smoke pot anymore. either that, or find good reliable pot that i only have a little taste of. same with drinking. it was surpirsingly not that great being drunk. i think i have taken enough time off from it, and over-did it so much last year, that it is no longer that fun to me. however, give me a nice bottle of scotch, or wine(red) and i will be one happy clam. there is a point about 4-5 glasses into a bottle of wine that is really nice. i like to keep that feeling. this also matched with about 3 glasses of scotch. that is all that is needed. it does not make me drunk, but it puts me in this happy, talkative place where everything is great and fun.
the snow is supposedly coming down tonight here in chi-town. we are supposed to have almost 10 inches by mid-day on the morrow. what madness!
did i mention that i really want to fly a plane? damn.
does anyone else think that the NBA is a conspiracy?
why is lost off the air until february? that is bullshit!
i think that i want to spend a good portion of my life inside of a recording studio.
if you want to create an awkward moment in a conversation with people that you do not know, ask the question, where are my pants? then when someone says, you are wearing them, respond with, boy thats a load off. i was worried there for a minute.
thanks you for your time and thoughts.

white soul brother deacon

hahahahahahahhahahah.
i have to transfer again. that is hi-larious. when will i ever settle down. who knows. maybe this next one will be the last. maybe it wont. i have no idea. loyola has no music program to speak of. and i am getting back in the game. hahahahah. victory.
dr pepper is so good.
fucking with people is fun.
i finally got some sticks today and have been playing on my drum pad for the entire afternoon. god its great. i miss having sore wrists. though, they should not get too sore when you are practicing enough. naturally, i have not been practicin genough so mine are sore.
i have put together one hell of a mix.

wake up

the guitar is a fun instrument to play. i really miss drums. i am thinking more of switching back to a music major. that could be a good thing i do believe. i dont know. youtube is awesome. i could really go for a dr pepper. mmmmm, that stuff is so good. hinduism is wild. the last thing that i read was talking about a guy who gathered an army of monkeys to battle the ten headed demon king. and this comes from a family that decide that they do not liek each other and the family splits up and they decide who goes into exile over a game of dice. in fact, there are two games of dice. but then they all come back and explain some other thing about the way that the world goes together. i am distracted b/c i am watching the flavor of love or whatever the show is right now. this show is also crazy. i used to think that this show was absurd, and it is absurd, but i think flave is a genius. somehow, he is a coked out or some kind of messed up guy who barely speaks english, but he has these women going crazy over him. damn, now i want to be on a boat.
this guy is smooth, but at the same time, aliudhdfbv


anyway, my computer is a bit hot, but the numbers on the back let me know that is not a recall computer. hmmmmmm
i like music. my record player is to have something done to it so that i can listen to the gloryu of records and fall asleep to calssical music and listen to jazz and all of the good stuff that i have on vinyl. VINYL IS BETTER THAN CD! technically and aesthetically. there are a lot of strange sounds coming from outside my apt. lots of meddle pipes it souds like being clincked together. i am thinking that i am goignto have to go get some dr pepper. i got to so something. i am losing my mind.

i have put a new comforter on my bed and it is now fantastic. the weather is beginning to get a touch chilly up here and seeing as how i have yet to call the gas people to get my stove/het turned on, i need better ways to stay warm at night. therefore, i have the zebra comforter. not only does it keep me warm, but it adds a bit of jungle excitement to the room which otherwise is a tudge slow most times. playing the guitar is great. what a fun instrument. i am dying to play drums though. all ihave up here is a practice pad, which is good, but i would love to play a show. the feelies is a great band.and so is santana. i have much reading to do today. lots of hindu, and something else...oh, writing seminar class stuff.
i spent a while figuring out music shit last night.

i llose interest very quickly in this thing

damn, nip tuck. that shit is wild. there are many classes to take and try to understand. i want to go to germany. i never finish.........

the voice of the magistrate was heard over all of the comotion from the streets, where i nasty brawl had arisen due to the new flag that was hung above the city hall building. main street had never scene such activity, not even when lady langston had the bake off and all of the ladies filled up the streets and a mass pis throwing event occurred.

there is an interesting show currently about the pop art movement.
i am starting to wonder about some of the beat folk again. not too sure what i think about them but there is something.
the boat must be rocked at the time of the roughest seas
always mind the ways of popeye


tintin is so great. i think that all should read tintin and then go through and watch the american masters eopside about the guy who created it. fascinating it was. and on top of that, that she is great. sis anyone watch the cartoon series that they made of it. good heavens. someone slap something and then scream at the moon. the fan has encountered ths shit.

go time, the eyes are heavy and the sleep must change the face of energy.

nacht

first off, meatloaf is great. bat out of hell was playing at clarke's earlier. man, oh man. what a delight. second, let us see, it is starting to get a wee chilly up round these parts. i am going to go to europe! at some point, that is. i have no idea what i am talking about. soon there will be guitars and a banjo. outside i go.
