The Dueling Fiddlers

Who are the dueling fiddlers you might ask. They are two men, Rustle and Adam, who play violin. They don't play traditional classical music. They play much more than that. For the longest time they were involved with the traditional classical groups. They then realized that that wasn't what a majority of the people wanted. If you were to walk into a room (as they did today) and say Bach, you would get blank stares, but if you were to walk in and say tick tock by Ke$ha or good riddance by green day, you would get some laughter and smiles. Today they visited my orchestra class and boy was I surprised. I figured it would be two old nerdy dudes playing random classical music trying to out do the other, but boy was I wrong. They take modern number one hits and turn it into something amazing. To fully understand you will really just have to see them play, so i'm including a video. If you really enjoy their performances go to their website www.theduelingfiddlers.com and support them in any way you can. They have not been doing this very long and at the moment it's their only form of income. Let me know what you think.

Ipod??

What are your MP3 preferences, or do you tend to go "old school" and stick to the radio or cd player. I personally like the ipod. I just upgraded from my nano to a touch and I definitely recommend it. You have total control, what kind of apps you want, the music. You can get internet and video call people. It's amazing. So like I asked before, what music player to you prefer?

Halloween Plans anyone?

What are your Halloween plans this year? Believe it or not, I've never been trick or treating. So this year my moms letting me go with a good friend. I can't wait to color myself blue :D I'm also going to a small "fall festival" that critters family is holding. This should be a good year. So what are your halloween plans?

Fridays bonfire

Friday night my best friend took me to the weekly youth house meeting. We expected to just hang out in the house like usual, but when we got there they had a roaring fire going outside. I was able to get this picture when Mr. Chuck doused it with water. Sorry it's not great quality.

Happy Anniversary

Today is my 2 year anniversary with my boyfriend Adam. Here are some pictures from the beginning of our relationship til now :) Happy Anniversary Adam, I love you!

Confused

So as most of you know, I am a junior in high school. This requires me to take world history, and for some reason we're learning about religion. It baffles me as to some of the crap my teachers are trying to shove down my throats. I have no problem learning about the religions, but I wish that this teacher would get her facts straight instead of try to tell me the opposite of something that I already know. One of the many issues with being in high school I guess. Old enough for responsibility, but not quit freedom, or being taught the truth instead of what the school system wants you to think. >:(

Those time travel experience

Have you ever had that feeling where you could be in another decade? You could be doing something, watching tv, or just plain sitting there and you feel like it's not 2010 anymore. On Friday night I went to a youth house my friends church holds every friday night. It's a good way to keep the kids in middle and high school off the streets on fridays and out of trouble. They feed us dinner then we just hang out for 3 hours and it actually can be really fun. Now I was born in the 90's so I have only experienced that and our current decade. But on Friday I sat on beanbag chairs with some of my girl friends and listened to music and it made me feel like I was back in maybe the 70's or something. Does anybody else get that feeling or am I just weird? And what was your favorite decade?
