Trackspin: Mr Big - To Be With You.

Trying to type with a different font size now. Haha.

Well, recce for the campsite was screwed up yesterday at 530pm so I've utterly no idea when I can make it for recce next. However, the day went well after all I suppose. Managed to do what I wanted to, and the only bummer to the day was that I wasted the earlier portions of the day doing nothing, just waiting for the recce initially.

Today's another lazy day, woke up to find it raining, ruining my thoughts of going out to take photos again. I think the weather's pretty messed up lately, but ah well, just gotta deal with it. Not too much I can do.

Hopefully Andre can buy over my lens soon, I want a change-over. Either a good prime, or I'll go for a manual lens for the fun of it. Zeiss/Leitz Elmarit anybody? HAHA. I'm somehow really interested in how good the colour saturations and all can turn out. Only thing is I gotta get used to composing shots with it and I can't change the focusing screen on the 500D for something to aid manual focusing. UGH.

I don't know, been feeling quite stressed up about camp lately, it's only a week more. We're seriously lacking the practice we need, and the whole camp thing seems to be in a mess compared to previous years. Most importantly, to me, I don't feel happy doing it, planning it, working things out. I've realised that I'm just nowhere near the right mindset for camp. As Gil said, just do what we can physically, let God do the rest, and get more into the mood at camp itself. Nothing can/will change my mindset until after camp is done, or hopefully, at camp itself. I guess Proverbs 3:5-6 helped put everything in perspective for me. Thanks a million Trishy. (:

There's some minor jamming thing with Mel, Perry, Jared and Fan this Sunday evening/night. I'm not too in the mood for it, considering how things have been going, but I guess it'll be a good way to destress a little bit. And to get me back into playing bass for secular songs. It has definitely been a while.

I feel bad about not going down for the retreat this Saturday in it's entirety but I guess the need to play ball and get a workout is part of my plans for the time being, as well as the usual Saturday night spent with Darren, Deb, Sarah, Janis, Abby and whoever else is around at that time means a lot to me. I don't know. I mean, I know I'm somewhat needed to help but, sometimes, we mess up priorities. Sounds very normal to me, for me. Sigh.

Spoke to Boomy with Val on Monday night, going over to his place just to talk about stuff after meeting up for session planning. I don't know, it's just so amazing how at ease I feel talking to him, just chilling, talking about music, life and such. As I told Val, it's his character plus the fact that he's of the generation that bridges my parents' and mine. So it's kind of like the best of both worlds where he has experienced so much, yet he's more in touch with the current generation and all. One day, I hope to be more like him, life-giving, understanding and more of a family man. Funny how I don't see myself anywhere near that though.

Okay, I think it's time I picked up the bass to get some practice in. I think I need it.

So I guess I'll just wait and see what happens from here on..
