| | Hey guys I'm just gonna ramble about the things that happened to me this last year, so press play on the music and read on So lets see, I became a published author, yes I won second place in a poetry contest with my poem The Graveyard Madman and the JCPL published it and now here it is:
The Graveyard Madman
By Jeremy Shelnutt
What eerie light the lantern throws
and the darkness falls as the shadows grow
heed what evil noises come from graveyard yonder
feral sounds on which to think and ponder
what monster creeps in this darkness waiting to take its prey
what madman waits with knife in hand
for the innocent to come his way
to take the lives of those who chance
into the graveyard on a moonless night
even though they know that they will forfeit their life.
Behold where go these villagers
with pitchfork and sword in tow?
to rid the graveyard of this madman
and his eerie lanterns glow.
yup, so now something not so great but at the same time a good thing... my parents got divorced after waiting for over year since papers were filed, but its a good thing my Dad is... mmm not the person he should be, he's never been a father, or husband, it was good for us to get him out of our lives we(myself and the boys) have to go to visitation every other weekend but we're living through it.
If you know me then you probably know that I have always wanted to go into music, to drum on at least one album... and it happened!!! I met some people(here is there website: http://thewilli.com ) at a home group, who had just started coming to our church, and they are all extremely, musically talented, and they have been working on an album, but none of them play drums or any percussion instruments, and they asked me if I would play drums on two of their tracks, and congas on one... needless to say I freaked out... on the inside, on the outside I tried to stay composed, so I got to experience a studio session which I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was awesome!!
But the best part was that I made four new and completely awesome friends, that I wouldn't give up for anything(I'll let you know more about when and where you can get the album later).
Alright some smaller highlights, I voted for the first time, its my last year of highschool, and I worked hard and bought a MacBook yes!! absolutely awesome gotta love Apple and Steve Jobs.
I hope you all had an awesome year, and an awesome Christmas, I know I've had better years, but at the same time this was really our first year as a family unit without Dad here, I mean he wasn't here last year but they were still married and this year it was different... it was better.
Well I think thats about it, I'm gonna try to be on here a lot more write some more keep it updated.
Thanks for reading(If you read this far)
God bless
