Only one free Saturday between February and March
Too much band.
You can tell that it's getting warmer...
…when you use cold water to wash your hands instead of warm water.
8PM bed time
So nice.
Starting a band
Called, “The Snazzy-lookin’ Fellas”.

Tomás Nazer: The jug
Cody Clark: Folk Percussion
John Gillon: Family-friendly reggae guitar
Trenton Durham: Tiny Keyboards
Just had a clinic with Marcus Printup, holy crap. #fb
Liking a Comment
Easiest way to nicely end a conversation on a status.
Yay for being at school by 7 on a Saturday…
Definitely didn’t mean to watermark that last photo.
400 Speed Film
You can’t shoot at f/1.8 in daylight. You can’t usually shoot much faster than about 1/30 indoors. It’s so weird.
Charles said that he went to school with a guy that played drums for Wynton Marsalis. That’s so legit.
I just realized I've been wearing my boxers...
I have a papernail under my fingercut.
Wait…
Doodle Jump
The harder you try, the more you suck at it.
I think
…that I have been in 24+ hours of rehearsal this week. Wait, let me check.
Ok, it was only like 20, but I had 6 hours of symphonic band class.
I’m not complaining that much, though. I hate when people complain on Tumblr. It’s really annoying.
Ever seen someone with two iPods and a cell phone at the same time? I have.
Does anyone else occasionally set their alarm to weird times like 5:18, 5:32, 7:49, etc.?
"Who is Duke Ellington?"
If you ever have to ask this question, you should be punched in the face twice. Once for not knowing anything at all about a great genre of music, and once for not knowing who Duke Ellington is.
Irony
Pulling up my dashboard in my Tumblr app’s built in web browser. Tumblr inside of Tumblr.
On Sunday
I saw a black lady come out of Target and do a weird skip-hop thing ‘till she jumped into the side of a pickup truck with kayaks on the roof.
Sometimes I feel like a dork because I occasionally press microwave buttons in a rhythm, but then I realize it’d only be dorky if it was intentional and did it all the time.
Mainstream Artists
Lil Wayne, what can I say? I’m not positive he writes his own lyrics. I’ve heard that Gillie da Kid has written some of his. Most of them are pretty much the same things rephrased, anyways. Can he even freestyle?
Justin Bieber is a superstar. Everyone knows about him, whether they have a good opinion of him or not. He’s making a crap-ton of money at sixteen years old. Lots of...
Success
Northwest got band of the day at the UNCC jazz festival. Tomas got soloist of the day because he basically wins everything involving a trumpet.
Maturity
I wish younger kids would realize that you don’t really reach “maturity”….that it’s kind of a process. And just because you’re in high school doesn’t mean you automatically know what you’re talking about.
Tumblr
Is getting way too mainstream because kids like me have it linked to their Facebook and Twitter.
That awkward moment when
Someone you’re talking to remembers something about you that you don’t even remember. Kind of creepy.
Sometimes

I’ll post something original that I think is funny and that someone will reblog. Never happens. I’m a disgrace to Tumblr.
no youre not cody
Thanks man, that means a lot coming from a pro tumblr-er.

PS, I'm a hypocrite
Because I don’t always spend money the best way either, but that last post was just something that has been on my mind recently.
I really question why churches spend so much money...
Obviously, you need a building that won’t collapse and kill people. Obviously, a few church vehicles are handy. Yeah, you need a stage and things that go with it if you want to have live music as part of worship. These things don’t cost a ridiculous amount of money for the purposes they serve.
Apparently, those things aren’t enough. There seem to be more and more churches that...

Lil’ Wayne is the worst rapper I’ve ever heard. He literally raps about nothing. “We’re gonna toast ya. Yeah, Poptart” like are you serious?
^^^YES
Oh you like posting pictures of yourself? I like...
