Presents

Presents are pretty cool. This year, I don’t really want much. My dad got me an iPod Shuffle. I really like it. It’s pretty slick… very small. I just got to my mom’s house and we got to open our mail from her family last night. I have plenty of money now to back myself up if I don’t get what I need for senior project. Last night I learned a TON of stuff about microphone technique and different recording technique and just a lot about how I can better utilize my preamp I got this summer.

I don’t ever get many presents for people… anything that I ever do, I just feel like it’s not nearly sufficient enough to give to a person. If I get a present or have plans for getting someone a present, it’s usually a really good one. I was supposed to have Lauren’s present ready yesterday. I didn’t get enough privacy to finish it, though. She already knows what she’s getting because she asked for it. I’m going to rerecord a few songs for her. After Christmas, I think I’m going have a lot of better equipment, and I can’t wait to finish it all. I’m really excited about it.

Pretty much, everything is going really well. School next semester should be good. Last one. Eeeeeee. I still don’t really know how I feel about that.

Today I read a bit about Christianity online. Jesus’ name was originally (most likely) Yeshua or Yehoshua. They mean salvation and yaweh delivers salvation, respectively. Greeks strarted calling him Lesus as Christianity started to spread and then Germans spelled it Jesus and that’s where the English language gets it today. I thought that was pretty neat.

    I forgot all about Jesus’ name! I remember learning that in High School. Wow… that’s a nifty piece of info that a lot of Christians probably don’t even realize.

    I’m glad you liked your Shuffle. Your Papa and your grandparents took care of a couple of great gifts - they came today.

    I miss you guys already! I worked non-stop today on laundry, cleaning the house, and I even built a new website: http://www.addressfix.com

    Love you!
    Dad
