Not Worrying About Falling Off the Ladder

Tomorrow marks the 17th Hallows Eve of Jon's career. This one will be his favorite, he hopes, because he is actually excited for once. In all previous years he could have cared less for the day. Anyways to the life and times of Jon Zielke. This past weekend I went with multiple youth from my church to Camp Qwanoes. It was a whole lot of fun, not nearly as good as May Camp (can anything beat May Camp?) but it was amazing and great spiritually. I grew closer in a bunch of relationships and felt drawn towards music more than I ever have in my life. More info will follow on the matter, I don't want to give too much away. At the retreat there was a hockey tournament! It was tons of fun, not to mention painful. I played goal, as always. Our team went 2-1-1. I pitched 2 shutouts, had a Goals Against Average of 2.00, and we lost the last game 0-0 via game of rock paper scissors. It was hearbreaking, but tons of fun. The weekend made me really excited for May Camp, aka THE LAST HOORAH. Anyhoo, I'm off for now, til next time.

It is finished...

So currently I am listening to the new Jimmy Eat World album. It is very good, through 3 songs. I need to go grab myself a copy of it. I think I will go out and get it next week when I go pick up the new Relient K album!! It is a Christmas album and I am quite excited. Christmas is my favorite solely because of Egg Nog. Most music of the season I hate with a deep, deep passion. And usually it's a disappointment because you build up thinking it's gonna be awesome and next thing you know it's over and it was a complete let down. Short blog my apologies for those who care, if any.

The beginning of the end...

Monday October 8th 2007. Thanksgiving, as celebrated in Canada. I decided that it is my least favourite holiday. It's quite pointless. I mean, yes it gets us to think of what we are thankful for. But, honestly I think that it is stupid. Why should we take one day out of our year to say what we are thankful for. If we really were thankful wouldn't we take part of everyday to reflect on that? Besides turkey is more overrated than something really overrated. Terrible analogy, I know. So my song is almost done, and I really like it so far. It's got a chorusish, and 3 verses and an outro, so I am quite stoked. Next step: record and tour. Neither will happen, but at least I've finally written a song. Yes, I know that's not much, but that's what's going on, til next time!
