It's been a while

Just like the title says, its been a while since I last posted anything original, so lets start all over. Hey, I'm Andrew. I play the drums and somewhat the tuba. I love to hang out with my friends, and believe in God. My favorite sports to watch are hockey and baseball, my favorite sports to play are ultimate frisbee and soccer. I am going to be a senior at Spring-ford High School and still have no idea where I'm going to college or what I'm going for. I have some of the best friedns this worlds got to offer and have had a pretty good life up to this point...

Alright, now that you know what there is to know about me let me figure out what this post is about. Lets see, I'm going to the beach tomorrow, which is Friday since its now past 12. This is the first time I will be going to the beach since I was a really little kid, like before I remember anything, so for all practical purposes its my first time.. I'm going with my friends and family, and it should be a blast.

Music wise I just got done with a concert where I had to fill in for my brother on the drums because he broke his collar bone. It went fairly well and I had a solo in it... though I feel bad for Scott because of how loud I was playing throughout. Tuba is going fairly well as is marching band (well about as well as that can go). I'm still just biding my time till concert band. I'm actually in the process of trying to get together a band, hopefully one that will actually start this time.

Lets see, ahh yes, the story I started writing... Yeah, about that, I kinda forgot about it, this summer seems to have flown by, but I still plan on continuing it... perhaps after marching band season when I'll have some free time. So thats about it for writing.

Ahh, last Sunday I went to my first real concert. It was amazing, my friends and I headed to New Jersey to see Creed at the PNC Bank Arts Center. It was awesome, we were the seventh row back. The music was so loud, and the lights and pyrotechnics were awesome. I was totally unprepared for everything. It was a really great time. Also found some time to talk some baseball with Josh Rizzuto on the way home. Thats always a good time.

I've been slowly trying to rework myself into serving at RIOT and IMPACT again after not doing it for a while. Its difficult cause there isn't much left to do anymore, but hopefully as our church recovers financially from having built the student center we will once again get some of the stuff thats been broken lost or stolen.

I finished reading the New Testament early this summer. Actually I'd been pretty much done for a long time but for some reason I kept putting off reading Revelation even though it's one of my favorite books. I haven't read much of anything in a while. I'm waiting for the new Ted Dekker book to come out (this October I believe) and also plan on starting the Old Testament in the near future.

I have become the "fire master" for my friends... looks like being an eagle scout actually does something for you, haha.

To be honest, I don't know what I've done this summer. I haven't played a lot of video games, haven't read much, haven't done a ton outside. I have hung out with friends on nearly a weekly basis but outside of that not much else.

Ohh yeah, one final thing, I got a job right at the end of last school year. I now work at Providence School of Music and Wi-fi Cafe. Stop in sometime, I'd love to make a drink for you.

Alright, now that you pretty much know my entire summer I'll leave you alone. Congrats if you actually made it this far. My next post will be a lot shorter and will probably be more along the lines of what I used to write about. Here's a little gift for you, it's the verse of the day from biblegateway.com!!!

“I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”- Psalm 16:8
