Morning people, another week has come, and I feel that it is time to give some updates. First -- I have bought www.lawrenceabernathy.com and will hopefully have that website up soon with some information about myself and some other "fun" stuff...the only problem I am having is that CSU has EVERY port blocked off so I cant connect to my server to do any work on it :D -- HURRAY COLLEGE!!!
No.
Ok, so next on the list. I'd like to take this time to speak a little about Columbus Black Label, a tournament paintball team that is operating out of the Columbus area. We had our second practice on sunday with the Auburn University pb team and I have to say that it went really well. Our guys dont have the most technical gun skills in the world, however they all play with a lot of heart and I'm proud of them so far. We've got a lot of work to do for our first tournament in march, so I'll keep you guys updated with how we are doing.

Now for some more "indepth" stuff; like music. The Stravinksy is still a beast, but we're making progress as I stated a post or two ago, should be a really interesting preformance, however I'm incredibly excited about singing "Salvation is Created" by Chesnokov which is the piece i have linked you all to. Hopefully by now you are somewhere around 30 seconds or so, and it may seem a bit slow; however it's a beautiful piece with some incredibly harmonies that the Russian composer has created. Point is, we're singing it and it gives me chills every time we begin. There's something rustic and unpolished about the harmonies that really pulls me in....but at the same time the melodic line feels as if it's had a sand blaster to it and feels almost like a waxed car looks.
Confusing yes? No, just listen and formulate your own opinion. Oh, I almost forgot, Maestro Green is doing a fabulous job leading the choir and I cant wait until 3:40 to be here so the grind can begin again.
That's really what music is: a grind. People talk about "the grind" a lot in paintball, how hard it is to go out to a field every weekend and play point after point, just for the sake of getting better; but a lot of it is just talk to make them look as if they are suffering for something they love. Oh, what little do they know of a real grind. I'm sure a few of you are aware of which I speak (about music that is) and can agree on some level. And as you know, you love to hate it and wouldnt trade it for the world.
See ya next time.
