Back again...after a long time

Hey there,

I know it's been a while since you last tasted a word from me, it was because of the work that's been occupying all my time, and of the fact that I've been lacking inspiration for my next step here. After all...I just don't want to write empty words just to put a little more pressure on the Internet, that's for sure. What do you say, huh?....

What happened? Well a lot of things, and I believe it's for the first time in many years that I can say that. First of all, I'm struggling to keep my studies going (I was almost shocked to find out that they were about to expell me from the school...can you believe that? Me, expelled! Jesus...). I know that God loves me (indeed He does!) and that everything will turn out just fine in the end. So was the case with the school. As a matter of fact, my colleagues had informed me about the situation, and everything was solved in only one day. Incredible, isn't it?

We've had another concert before Christmas. It was on the occasion of the company's party, you can see below two photos from the event. It was still me who moderated the whole show, but I feel it was the last time I was doing that, because I felt exhausted in the end. Moreover, I didn't have the time to have a little fun, I felt like everyone was having fun, and I was there just to entertain them. Not very attractive this perspective, I am sure. But I was a little angry with FREAK beacause he refused to play with us, Andy was not present there, as the party was reserver for ETA2U employees only - so it was just Tommy and I who did the whole trick. I've seen the films recorded by one of my colleagues - and it was OK. We're doing better every time, and that's extremely important - progressing on and on. Someday it will be...as we want it, as people want it, as it must be. We just need a little...PATIENCE :)

Second, I've finally managed to go to the orthodontist and put on my corrective device - it's costed me a little bit, and it feels a little ackward sometimes, but I am 100% convinced it was the right decision and that I will be very satisfied with the result at the end of the 2 years of treatment. And no - I will not post a picture of me wearing this! :)

Things are a little bit unclear at work - they keep telling us that we should leave our old habit of staying in the office and go out hunting. It's a new thing for us and we just can't seem to get along with this new way of doing our job. I am confused about my next stept here - it's been 5 years already and I don't know what I am expected to do or change. Once again, I put my faith in God...He knows what's in store for me.

Our next concert is due in about two weeks. We have a new song 90% ready, and we're working on Nightwish's "Sleeping Sun" - this song is great, and I wouldn't like to mess it up. But we have the same problem rehearsing, so I am deeply concerned about how people will see us this year. They've been very understanding the first two times...but this time I do not expect them to show any understanding. I want to know the quality of our band after a year of activity. Do people like us, do they still want us to play for them? Besides, the guys have told me they didn't like the name of our band "The Paladins", so I believe we should change it as soon as possible. Or not?...I like this name. Do you have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate any help.
OK. That's enough for tonight. Tomorrow - a little bit of school, and ...there's something I'm not telling right now:D
Peace&Love to You All!
