Show at Biggby


I played a few songs tonight at Biggby coffee in Owosso. To be honest, I have been worrying about playing for the past few weeks, because I knew I wouldn't have a whole lot of time to practice. But being the pro that I am, strong exaggeration, I pulled it off quite well. This was my set list.

Yellow - Coldplay
Hey Ya - Outkast
You are so Beautiful - Joe Cocker
Dance Tonight - Sir Paul McCartney

Free Biggby coffee and a little bit of money... I'll play there anytime.

Sometimes plans change.

Today did not go as expected, but it turned out to be quite fun.

I was planning on working at the office until about 4:00 and then taking a trip to Guitar Center in Flint with my buddy's Joe and Don from church. Well, I realized that no one was home to let my dogs outside, so I went home a little early only to find that there was in fact people at my house. My mom, my dad, and my grandpa were all hanging out when I got there. Soon after that, my cousin Mary and my Aunt Lorrie showed up. So when I thought I was coming home to an empty house, within just a few minutes, we were having a family get together.

Weird.

Anyway, I missed My Name Is Earl tonight. My good ol' pal Rhett says it was an excellent episode. So I'm going to have to watch online ASAP.

Racing the clock

Biggby coffee is currently having a customer appreciation week. In celebration of this event, they have been giving away a different grande drink every day. Well for today's free drink, you could either get an orange or banana creme freeze. I have been wanting to try one of these bad boys ever since they opened late last year, so today was finally my chance. If it were only that simple...

I wasn't able to make it there during the day, so my only hope was to make it after my mid week church service. I must confess, I was a getting a little antsy by the end of the service, because they close at 9pm. No joke, I walked into Biggby at around 8:58. I felt kind of bad at first for making them whip me up a creme freeze right before they put up the closed sign. But once that refreshing burst of berry goodness hit my mouth, I couldn't have cared less.

Plus I gave her a pretty decent tip too! :D

Chemistry is not for me...

I subbed for a high school chemistry class today. It went ok I guess. I'm still not sure why anyone would choose to take a chemistry class though. Don't get me wrong, I understand the importance of it. And maybe there is actually people out there that get their kicks studying the periodic table... All I know is, the kids in this class weren't too thrilled about chemistry, and neither am I.

Monumental Occasion

I filmed a commercial for a monument company today. Not gonna lie, it was a little weird being in a building filled with gravestones.

Grand Torino

Today I watched the film Grand Torino with my dad. In my opinion, it was lacking some back story. You could tell it was filmed near Detroit too, which is always cool to see when you're from Michigan.
