Dear Christopher,

I would be happy to talk with you. The first thing I think you should do is come down to a Symphony rehearsal at DeVos Hall. See what your schedule is for next week. We can do sort of a job shadow thing. I would recommend next Thursday evening. That is our dress rehearsal for our next Classical concert. I could talk with management about you sitting up on stage with us. also our recording engineer will be there and you can meet him and talk with him. In the mean time my phone number is 446-XXXX. I would ask that you do not give that out to anyone since it is my cell phone. I look forward to talking with you.

Sincerely,

David Gross, Principal Timpanist
Grand Rapids Symphony

Dear Mr. Gross,

i'm not really too sure where to start, because my request is obscure, and my story is equally bizarre. i guess my best bet is to just give a brief rundown.

my name is Christopher Best. i am a senior at Cedar Springs High School. when i took my SATs i got a 750 in math and expressed an interest in music. the Peabody Conservatory received these statistics and sent me a mailing advertising their Recording Arts and Sciences program. every single thing i read in the letter really seemed to nail my situation. that mailing is practically the sole cause of my interest in peabody. i have, since i received the letter, applied to the peabody and have scheduled an audition. an audition which is in a little over a month. i've been asking around about what i can expect, because i've never done this before, and have been disappointed. what can i say? Cedar is the farthest place in the world from culture, and my family is useless. i've always had a knack and a passion for music, but i lack an extremely formal education. i'm in school band, i've been to Blue Lake, and i dabble in my spare time - of course i'm always LISTENING to music - but that's really about it. i believe i have the capacity and potential to do great things in music, but i'm also extremely afraid i got in over my head. i expressed this fear to my M.S.W. , and he suggested talking to somebody from the Symphony. a phone call later i was provided with your email from the 'personnel manager,' i believe it was (he was exceedingly cordial). so, i'm just hoping to get to talk so somebody sometime, or at least get some feedback from a person who knows better what the heck is going on - because i'm a tad bit lost. for all the 'help' and 'career advisement' that i've been offered, they really left me hanging.

anything at all that you can offer me will be beneficial, even if it's consolation for being delusional. i was just looking for some straight talk from anyone who had the credentials to give it.

i have also sent an email identical to this one to your associate, Mr. Hall.

many preemptive thanks,

Christopher Best

... wow.

a lot has changed. my home. my girlfriend. my college. my lifestyle. everything.

in under a year, my life has undergone a total revamp.

and yet i'm still the same guy i've always been. nothing special. nothing fancy. wow.

just amazing. and i never would've guessed it.

:: 2005 18 September :: 11.06am

etc.

well. i picked up the transmission yesterday... it was filthy. so i took it back to karl's and bathed it in mineral spirits. it's still ugly... but it's a darn sight better than it was. now i'm going to flush it out with brakleen and try and get the exterior nice and pretty. i might even repaint the end cap thingy. that cool fluorescent green. mmm. anyway. oh, i also pulled both of the driveaxles. so, next phase is to get fluid, brakleen, new axles, maybe new seals for the donor tranny. hector's supposed to be showing up soon, so i'll ask him about the next phase of the operation. and i thought it was really interesting that karl had the bentley for a '79 rabbit. i was disappointed i didn't have access to it sooner. because i would have used it like crazy on the blue bunny. speaking of which, i finally found someone to take it.

bruce and i went to buses by the beach last night, and i talked to billy. next saturday we're gonna trailer the blue bunny over to billy's house. i give him the rabbit and 250, and he gives me a really nice 24 channel, 4 buss, Mackie board. SCORE!!!! not only do i get rid of my old crap. which i will miss dearly. but i also get newer cooler crap. always awesome.

yeah. that's all. i mean, i haven't done any homework... but at least i'm making some sort of progress. it's a very refreshing sensation.

but i still smell like grease and mineral spirits. it feels good.

LOVE! PEACE! SEXUAL INDISCRETION!

DAIG<3<3<3!!!
Went to bed at three thirty this morning.
Am up at seven thirty.
Four hours of sleep? Whatever. I'm not that tired I guess.
Neat dream. Was like Counter Strike at first,
and then we were all real people. I operated a stationary
sub-machine gun and pwnd. XD
Anyway.
Nothing much to report.
Have been watching the lastest Bleach anime episode, number 49,
entitled "Rukia's Nightmare" ... pretty neat one. Got bored, so
started to browse another anime that's being subed in english called
'Suzuka' ... 'bout a chick that is in college and on a track team that is all praised and shit for jumping the highest bar thingy... 169cm... and this other main character guy dude. Eh, 's pretty good so far. Introduced to two other mainish lookin' chars in the first episode too.. a long haired blond and a brunette with glasses. First time you see the blond she's naked. XD The main guy works at his aun't spa, an all girl place. And he has to clean the spa every morning. Anyway, blond and brunette barge into his apartment later that evening, drunk.. and pass out. XD Amusing. But anyway, blah blah. I just like anime.
Even DL another they had translated. 'Front Innocent' ... little did I know that this was hentai. Heh. But, alas, genitals were obscured in that shitty 'foggy' censor stuff. Bleh! Oh well, kind of an odd anime. Whatever. Hm... what else have I been doing? Oh! ... Gah. My attention has also been taken up by Fallout 2, a post nuclear RPG. And this hentai dating game called True Love. Which I find myself going to be playing a third time through within two days already. What can I say? It holds my interest. ... <_< I'm not a pervert.
Just having this random Japan-esque obsession at the moment. Heck. I'm even learning some of the language....

Hejimemashite! Watashi wa Zane desu. Douzo yoroshiku, wareme!

Translation: How do you do! I am Zane. It's nice to meet you, cunt!

I amuse myself easily. XD

Yep.

That's all.

Head In The Clouds
Well, I'm finally getting over my cold.
Actually. I feel really good!
Up at my dad's for a few days again.
With my lovely allergy pills. Yummy.
Wrote a fistfull of poems. Posted them on DA.
Days are consisting of sitting here. Sleeping.
Playing Fallout 2. Talking to people online.
More sitting. Staring at the screen. Listening to music.
More sitting. Looking around my room.
Getting up to piss every once in a while.
Showering. Sleeping. Eating. Playing Fallout 2.
Listening to music. Talking to people online.
Ect.
I somehow feel worthless. Hah, hah.
But anyway. Not much has been up as of late.
Waiting for my brithday gift from dad to arrive in the mail.
I wonder what it is? Honestly. I have no clue.
Adam ordered me a shirt from the band Silent Civilian.
He's a good friend. We like the same bands pretty much.
So. He ordered a shirt too. Same time. Heh. Woot.
Uhm. Hm.
I am ten dollars richer? x_x;;
Seems me and Ash are now dating.
Well. Nothing's really changed. Heh.
She gave me a birthday card and said she'd like to 'try us out'.
So, uhm, cool. I guess.
I doubt I truely love the girl to death. But I care about her a lot.
Like I do most people I like.
She's still odd. And she still complains about being ugly, fat, ect.
I just want to strangle her sometimes. So. I keep reminding her.
That she is infact. Pretty, and not fat. Gawd... her friends are
like that too. What is with chicks!? I swear the ideal body type
for females today is 90 lbs. and god damn stick thing with big breasts.
I think it's pretty sick to think that way. Ugh... blah!
I make her really happy though, so, that's good.
And she liked the poem I wrote her. So. Yay. ^_^
Yeah.
Done now.

was ist das wetter heute?

es regnet. und k�hle.

i think one of my current favorite words (there's a running tally) is this:

m�l�e.

just because of the crazy accents.

i love these headphones. and recording at 1 Mbps.

sleep is better, though.

lederhosen auf der tische. i think i've said that one before. or is it dem tische? fuck.

Wie geht's? gut?
some people 'round here seem to have taken an upturn. some a downturn. so i guess we'll call mine a.... funny turn.
"i once had a bad turn in a booth."

oh, james bond, you heartthrob. what'll i ever do with you? aside from contract syphillis...

i'm sick of being an ass. and i'm sick of being unjustifiably tired. not exhausted. just a little sloth. enough to make me useless. but for no good reason.

i dropped the car off today. tomorrow i meet hector to pick up the bentley. then i'm off to detroit on saturday to pick up the new transmission. then saturday-day i'll attempt the swap. permitting nothing is screwy. which, it very well may be. gah. i don't want to think about all the potential catastrophes.

i think tomorrow night i'm going to go to buses by the beach with teh MUB (Mutter und Bruce). hopefully i can talk to billy about the mixing board. assuming he hasn't sold it already. i got sick of calling. i felt like he was avoiding me. this way i'll have him cornered.

and i wanted to call jackie tonight... but i didn't get home until 10:30 or so. shit fuckers. i guess it'll happen tomorrow. i hate this. i shouldn't have to just squeeze her in. it's just plain wrong. i should have all the time in the world for her. well, i do have lots of free time. it's just between 10am and 1pm. and she's busy during those hours.

it has switched to Heart - Dog and Butterfly.

i love WMA shuffle...

too bad defragging the hard drive takes about 6 hours with all that shit on here. i actually had to take some off, just for enough free space to defrag properly. geh. i'm gonna do homework now.

Ich studieren die Kommunikationswissenschaft. Wunderbar.

auf wiedersehosen...

Sex...

i think it's funny... but there we are.

i still can't speak german. but two of my vocab words will be difficult to forget.

dick = fat.
schlank (with an 'ahh' sound) = slender.

so, you might have a dick dick. or there are those of us with schlank shlongs.

i just had to get that out of my system.

why i love hector...
"I have been preparing various parts of the site for the chat room. Preparations A-G have all been completed. The Chat room is Preparation H and I think it is to the point now where it feels good to use, on the whole."

the man is hilarious. and this isn't even his best work. but it makes par. which is good enough for me.

i think it's about time for dinner. i've had 2 pop tarts and a granola bar.

it's good to be home. but it's still missing something... i'm still missing someone...

love and stuff, guys.

shit. i miss her.

and i just realized... shaney now has a picture of me with james on my lap. i think that's some sort of inescapable induction into the family.

not that i'm trying to escape. in fact... for some reason, i'm trying to get in. yeah, you know the reason. and yes, i still miss her.

"kids these days... it's always 'sex, sex, sex' all the time..." - life of brian.

i need to stock up on lube. that shit is not cheap.

oh well. we won't ever have the opportunity to use it anyway.

You think about what you DID too much.

And as a result you don't DO as much as you think you DID because you overanalyze and it seems bigger and more important that what you really DID.

So get out there and DO something instead of dwelling on what you DID.

It's called living.

What I usually do is buy another tranny, referb the seals and swap them out. Then you can referb the one you yanked out for when the one you installed goes out, which usually takes about a year.

I can meet you after work anytime you want in GR with the Bentley. Good luck, trannys suck.

happy LABOR DABOR! 2005

yeah. it's been interesting. i picked up a couple of really sexy large diaphragm condenser mics at the guitar center extravaganza. still no SD1s though.

and i had good food. that's always nice.

and dad brought up an interesting idea:
putting all of my music onto dvds, rather than cds, because they can hold much more information. we'll have to look into that further.

that's all for now.

Freshy year
Last first day of high school tomorrow. That's exciting.

Eh, I can still remember the first day of my freshman year clearly. I went up to my locker to put my backpack in it before first hour, and I couldn't get it open. I didn't think I was doing anything wrong, so I went and got Ms. Scott, and she was like, "are you sure you know how to work a combination lock?"

That got me pissed. Yes, I was a freshman, not an inferior human being (although sometimes those ARE one in the same I realized later). So, she tried it and it didn't work. That was one of the best moments of high school right there, and it seemed to set the trend for the rest of high school, always having to prove myself, prove that I can do it. Well, it turned out that one of the numbers in my combination was 10 numbers off...so I got a note during first hour with the right one, and I haven't had any problems since, for three years.

Hmm. Just thought I would put that in here before alzheimers hits, I am almost 18 ya know.
