pay no attention

well, here i am sitting here staring at my computer hoping that 400 words will just appear so i can click publish post! and go on with my night. i apoligize for the weak analogy here but blogging is like walking the dog. it's something that i enjoy but don't do near as often as i should. it's one of those things where when i just do it without thinking everything works out well. okay this analogy sucks. what i'm trying to say is, i think the fact that i have to blog is what makes it so hard. i am required to post three times a week with four hundred words per post to get a good grade. you could try to tell me that i actually don't have to do this but i don't want to fail.

hmm. city contest. bleh. it's just something you have to endure. think back to middle school, city contest was scary! what if other people outside my family listened to me as i played my solo? what if i mess up? why does my mom have to tape this? why do i have to do this? can i just pretend that i played my solo? needless to say, i got over all of that and now just look at city contest as just another day. woodwind choir, piece of cake. flute ensemble, easy as pie. duet? not bad. flute solo, pretty good. piccolo solo? didn't play it. why not, you all are anxious to know i'm sure. it wasn't all ready. parts were ready but not the whole piece. city contest rarely runs on schedule. why is this? i'll only tell you because i know you're all dying to know. because five minutes is not enough time. five minutes for playing is ample, but five minutes for playing and judging is not enough. i'm sure this all fascinating to you. i told you that you shouldn't've read this.

i have two fish. their names are tucker and jaws. i did not name them. one of my friends who names pretty much everything did. tucker is the algae sucker fish and jaws is a gold fish. they live on top of my bookcase during the winter and outside during the summer. every year without fail there are many, meaning four or five six at the most, fish in the pond and when we go to take them out at the end of summer it's just those two. i'll let you draw your own conclusions.

well, i got to four hundred words. it was a struggle that's for sure but i made it. yay me? sure. let's go with that.
