24 Hour Weekend

13 hours in one day, 11 in another. 2 jobs. Not home at all.

Well, since i have 2 jobs, there's always the chance of being scheduled for a very long day. It just so happened that they came 2 days in a row. At the end of both days my legs were tired. (big paycheck, though!)

Thursday night I went to Syracuse to a Houghton College choir concert. I left at 4:45 PM and got back at 2:15 AM. The concert was very good. I met a few new people, friends of Dave, my friend who drove. And also, I had dinner at Burger King. (high treason against McDonalds!)

On another note, in the musical world it is a sad week. Anthony Burger, one of the most phenominal piano players died of a heart attack while he was playing on a cruise with the Gaithers. The song he was playing was, "We Shall Behold Him." We know he now beholds Him!

By the way....47 days!

Electricity is a wonderful thing!!!

Well, up here in the north...there has been freezing temps and ice and snow...and power outages!!! We lost our power on Friday morning at around 11am while I was at work...so I went through the day not knowing until I got to my evening job!! Then we went through the night with out electricity and heat!!! It was fun!! Then we went to some friends' house for showers and to warm up, while my dad and a friend went back to our house and the church and hooked up a generater. Then we had some cleaning to do!!!

My Admissions Counseler was supposed to be here by noon, because he's on his Ontario/New York tour for his recruting segment!!! There was a big snow storm that went through Canada, and all of my CANADA friends can attest to this, and it dumped alot on them. But there were multi-car crashes that left 4 people dead, and a total of 108 cars in 3 crashes.
andy was very helpful and gave my family, my parents, and I alot to think about! After we were done talking about the college stuff, we went to NY Pizzaria, where I work, and had dinner. Then he took off for his next visit.

The power came back on at 11:30 PM.

It snowed Friday night and we got 4 inches and then Saturday we got 2 inches. Right now it is snowing and we're supposed to get 5-8 inches...as of now...maybe more!!

Today is the day of the Daytona 500!! Jeff Gordon had 2nd...but is lagging behind right now, after he was pushed into the wall by Tony Stewart but the race ain't over yet!!!! We'll see who wins!!!!

This morning we had a great service! God is GOOD!!

I've been searching for chords for alot of songs and have found alot of good songs thanks to Cowboylyrics.com and thirdday.com!!

Well, I should watch the Daytona 500, may the bestman win!!!!

Department of Motor Vehicles, and more about my life.

Ok.....I'm not quite 18 yet...so I have to wait for my license......Well, I went there today....DMV....and they said that i can't drive after 9pm without an adult on a NY state license!!....SO..... I'm not getting a NYS license until i turn 18!!! I gotta wait 5 months....

Well, yea. Ok...back to more about my life....most of you know that I LOVE MUSIC! Well for those of you that don't know my background....my dad is a pastor and I've been in church all my life. Now my mom's side of the family is very musical, so I guess I inherited their genes!!! I've been in every school choir Ive had the chance to be in...every church play...and a few school plays...most of them were main character spots and there was almost always a solo!! In 4th grade I started playing trumpent...but in 5th grade I had a bad experience and so i quit!!!
I didn't play any instruments until about 2 1/2 years later when I moved to the Detriot Suburbs where i picked up piano. I play guitar also...as i've said before...and I can't put it down!!!!

Well, there's some more!!! talk to me!!!

Snow, work, and driving

A long day today. 10 AM - 7 PM. I work at McDonald's in the mornings and at New York Pizzaria in the evenings. Some days it's very long!

About the snow. Between Sunday and Monday we got 2 feet of snow and today we got about an inch and it's still coming. They are predicting snow the rest of the week which makes it really hard to drive on these back roads.

Back to a little bit about my life. My dad is a pastor in the Wesleyan denomination. He's been a pastor for about 15 years of my life. We have moved A LOT! 17 times in fact! 6 different states. Yeah, I've gotten around. But so far NY is ok.

I have been musical my whole life, but just recently, in the last 4 years, picked up instruments on a daily basis. Started the piano 4 years ago and the guitar last October which will really help being a singin' preacher!

Well, there's a little more.

Welcome to My Life!

Well, let's start here. First of all, my name is Kenny, obviously. Second of all, I am a highschool graduate. Third of all, I play the guitar. I looooooove the guitar! My friends can tell you that. I live up in the middle of no where somewhere between Watertown, NY and Saranac Lake, NY near the foothills of the Adirondacks.

I'm currently looking at going to college at either Bethany Bible College in Sussex, NB, Canada, or Southern Wesleyan University in Central, SC. I'm going to be a singin' preacher! I plan to go for a music major.

Well, that's a start.
