Reach for a hand to hold.

One artist who I feel is overlooked/not known at all is Aqualung  (Matt Hales).  Want a refreshing not-so-run-of-the-mill (I'm sure all those dash marks aren't necessary) CD?  Try "Memory Man."  It was released in 2007.  Good Stuff.

Enough of a music plug.  Now, to the really "good stuff"!! My parents are visiting this weekend, which I'm quite excited about.  They're driving up on Saturday morning (the drive is about 4 hours long) and we're basically just gonna chill this weekend.  It is really nice to have "visitors" at school.  It makes me feel as if I'm, in ways, escaping for a weekend (although I'm not traveling anywhere).

This 3-day school week has definitely spoiled me.  I was disappointed class wasn't cancelled again today.  I guess I just feel like I still have a whole lot of work to do--now, to find time to do it!  I gotta brace myself for next week--a (gasp) 5 day school week.  ha

I have had a reading overdose the past couple days.  I'm reading Dietrich Bonhoeffer's "Letters and Papers from Prison," for an Honors class--Faith, Freedom, and the Individual.  It is a great work, but my eyes (and mind) need a little break.  Hopefully, I can allow for one this weekend. 

I teach my favorite dance class tomorrow.  I have about 8-10 girls in my Jazz Class at Legacy Studio of Dance.  We're starting our recital piece tomorrow and I'm very excited about it!  Now, I must begin the search for costumes.  I began my Tap recital piece with the Combo class this afternoon.  It looks like it'll be a lot of work :)  but fun, of course!  

Well, I wish I had something profound to say today, but I can't muster any thought of great significance, so... I'll leave you with some lyrics: 

Aqualung--"Rolls So Deep"

I'm gonna teach myself to drive 

Down the road on the other side

I'm gonna set myself alive

To put some fire in my soul

Could've told you a million lies

Given everything to compromise

But you could run for a million miles

And still have nowhere to go

It's like lightning in a clear blue sky

There's a storm but you keep it inside

It's like thunder when I look in your eyes 

And it rolls, it rolls, it rolls so deep

You're gonna have to wait awhile 

Tune it in on another dial

'Cause every time that you make me smile

Blood bursts out of a stone

And if I have to be myself again

Drown our tears in the pouring rain

It's the end of a holiday 

and you don't wanna go home...
