Receiving the Eagle Scout Award

Today I spent every waking moment dealing with my Eagle Court of Honor.
I had things to write out, I had to iron all of the uniform, there was the actual occasion that evening, and that night I spent dealing with concerns abt... Eliza. Her boyfriend broke up with her - not like we didn't see it coming.

I gave an acceptance speech thingy - it went well, supposedly. I ended up directing it toward the younger scouts and the cub scouts that were there. I gave my two-cents about why Scouting is important and why they should never give up, I think.

That evening I saw Sarah there at church. We spoke for a bit - Everyone was dressed up - it was kind of amusing. Aside a personal fiasco involving her I won't mention, nothing significant happened. But needless to say, clearly the assertion that she's just been busy is true. My freak-out mode officially ended yesterday...

Uh... by the way, for those who wonder, Sarah is my girlfriend, or at least was at one point (complicated i know), and Eliza's my best friend - she lives like 7 hours away these days... but we keep in touch still. She's moving to Utah around the time I go back to BYU-I, so we might hang out every now and then more in the future.


Anyways...
I listen to music from Guitar Hero that I put on my iPod more than I thought I would. I skip lame bonus tracks, but considering the GH songs constitute 88 out of a little over 400 songs I have, I would hear them randomly often.
It's part of getting exercise - I listen to it when I go running.

This is one of my "big news" posts - there aren't very many occasions where I deviate almost completely. But with Eliza's breakup, my Sarah, and my Eagle Scout award thing tonight, there are always things to be blabbing about.
I'll shutup for now.
Peace.

The V-Day Equivalent

Today I got to spend time with Sarah, finally.
We ended up watching a movie with her little brothers.
It was that Jack Black "Kung-fu Panda" movie. It was better than I thought it'd be.

We played with their parakeet, Bobby - her brother Eric keeps it these days, and was out of town at the time or something - they were keeping it for him.
We had a lot of fun. I have missed spending time with her greatly.

With all that's been going on, I haven't had the luxury of time on my laptop these days.
My Eagle Court of Honor thing is tomorrow and there's stuff to be stressed about.

I spent most of the morning going running today.
I need to get back into shape - exercise is important, especially as we're approaching summer.

I hope to get back to Photoshop as soon as possible.

I'm loaded up on Photoshop to-do, ideas, tutorials, etc.
For those of you looking for my usual artwork, I'll have something next time, I promise.
In the mean time, you could take a look at some of these - they're from some of the best.
