New Beginnings...

Hello everyone that reads this! So lately I've been blogging like...feelings and stuff...so I thought I should write a blog telling you about what has been going on in my life as well! Summer has officially come to an end...which means school has officially begun once again. I started my fifth year of college on the 31st of August and I've almost made it through the first month. So far...so good. I'm taking mostly entry level courses (ok...they are all entry level courses) and they aren't too bad. Actually, I don't know if you remember me telling you about a woman I nicknamed "Blurty" or not...but basically she was a woman who had "word vomit" every nite in my classes the past year and a half I've been at Jackson State. Well, she is no longer in any of my classes...however...she has been replaced by a new woman. I haven't come up with a clever nickname for her yet...and I'd like to keep her identity a secret...so I'll just call her "Woman who likes the sound of her own voice" yeah...that seems to fit. In a sick twisted way...I kind of miss Blurty *sigh*...ok...moving on. I am still creating musical fusion with Rhett and Kyle and it is still a lot of fun to jam with those guys. We've come up with our own version of "Rapper's Delight" and I gotta say...it is dang awesome! (Of course...I am a little biased in saying that). What else has happened...well...I'm still unemployed...which sucks. I keep putting in applications though, so hopefully someone will take a chance on me and call me in for an interview soon...I really really REALLY need gas money. Ok, enough of that. Along with playing with the guys, I've also been playing a lot more on my own! I've been learning some Hendrix, trying to play along with Rush, and playing some Gov't Mule and Derek Truck's Band stuff for The Danger Toxic Fumes, but I've also been trying to learn all the Paramore songs. I don't know, I really like Paramore's drum beats...they are a lot of fun to play. I've been working on my phrasing for drum solos and stuff too, and I can already tell a difference. Oh! I've still been reading my books as well. I finally finished "A Tale Of Two Cities" not too long ago and now I am reading "The Sound and The Fury." Two completely different writing styles, but still fun to read. And I probably shouldn't admit this, but I'm going to go ahead and do it...I...Jeremy Lindsey...am now addicted to the show "Gossip Girl." That feels so good to get out in the open (haha!). I know what you're thinking, and no, I am not gay. It's just a lot of fun to watch the drama and character growth that happens in the show. I would just like to thank Alanna for getting me hooked on that show, and no, I'm not complaining :] Well, there you have it, that, in a nut shell, is what is happening in the life of Jeremy. Some things are interesting, some things make me seem gay, but in the end, I'm still the same guy...just going through some new things in life...Peace!

"Patience is a virtue"...

...is something that I have heard my whole life, and patience seems to be the one thing that God continually is teaching me. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am the type of person that likes to make lists, set schedules, and even plan ahead. I'm not much of one to do anything too spontaneous, however, there are times when I do things that are spontaneous and I enjoy it when it happens (like making random runs to Wal Mart to buy white slip on shoes). But I don't always enjoy being spontaneous...like when I decided to just up and move from Minneapolis without really thinking a few things through. But yeah, because I make lists and schedules and even plan ahead...I always feel that things have to happen at a certain time and if they don't, I usually get a little upset or even frustrated. Things that this include would be: getting somewhere on time, finishing up a project, and even running to the store. I like to know how long something may take to happen so that I can be ready. Now, I realize that somethings cannot be put on a time table, and those are the things that I am learning to be patient about. Finishing college would be a great example of what I am talking about. I am so ready to be finished with college. I am ready to put college behind me and move on with life and move on to the next chapter of my life. College wasn't supposed to last this long...I wanted to be done in four years and then do whatever was next. I wasn't expecting to be in my fifth year of college, possibly looking at two more years, and still not having a set plan for when I do FINALLY graduate. But, like I said before, I need to realize that there are things I have to be patient about and I need to just trust in the Lord because I know He has things under control....and I need to learn that I don't always have to be in control. I can also give another little example that has recently happened in my life...but I really don't want to type all of that out...and I don't think it is really a good time to talk about it (or something like that). But again, with the "unsaid" development, I am just learning to be patient and waiting to see if and when it will happen (I'm really hoping it will happen though haha). I'm also learning to not get my hopes up TOO high and I'm trying to realize that the scenarios I play in my head won't always happen the way I would like them too...but again...who knows? Maybe in time they will...I just need to be patient.
