NWMS Talent show winner

I got a text from a singer me and my buddy/roomate Sean knew a couple weeks ago. She asked us if we were open to playing a singular song for her talent show (thursday of last week) for her sorority. At first i detested the idea because i hate the idea of driving two hours for a one song show and then driving back. But Sean was very adamant about going, so I decided id thug it out. We took the luh calm drive talkin bout life and shit and when We pulled up , they had a drumset waiting for me and an empty stage with an empty crowd. We were 2 hours early. We met up with the singer and she explained that we didnt have a bass player for the show. Bass to us is very important so we thought all hope was lost until she called up her friend Marley to see if she could play. Turns out she had not the slightest clue, so sean spent the next hour and a half teaching her how to play the song. we ended up just having her play one note the entire time and didn't think about it to much. before the show me and sean were pissing our pants in fear of what might happen because neither of us had been practiced the song and this is the first time we ever played it live. we got up on stage and everything past that was a blur. we all played it beautifully and i ended up hitting some dances with marley on stage and threw the sticks out to the crowd. it was a lot of fun. afterwards Liz (the singer) had a couple more things she had to do for the show and when they announced the award for best talent we won. We all were ecstatic and got ice cream. Me and sean drove back happy for winning and listening to podcasts. BTW the song was Mr. brightside by the Killers if you were wondering. ADPI went from Bouse to Touse that night.

My Family Farm

Posted below is a picture of the Neumann Family Farm. I spent a lot of my childhood on this farm. In this picture is the new and improved renovated farm from about 2 years ago. Before it got fixed up it was like a trap house. Cockroaches talked to you, gas leaks, paint stripping from the wall, and homeless dudes just chillin. I loved it as a kid, me and my friends and family during the day would, shoot hoops, shoot guns, shoot fireworks, shoot cows, anything you could shoot we probably shot it. at night we would play night basketball, start bombfires, and drank soda so we would stay up all night. when it was time for bed we would stay up all night cracking jokes, and my cousin would tell his story about us. in the story we all had a different characters and we were all cowboys on horseback riding in the west. To be a kid again and experience the farm like i used to would be the best feeling ever. but you can never relive the past.

Fantasy movies

Im trying to look into watching more fantasy movies, honestly ive never seen lord of the rings which is a shocker to many. im currently watching willow while writing this and i'm looking into watching army of darkness tonight. My friends have always told me to watch it. Its apart of the evil dead series and i have watched a couple of those movies. its always been a very interesting and funny experience watching those movies. they came out with a new one not to long ago but it didnt have everyones favorite character Ash Williams in it, but it was still cool. but if you have any recommendations im always open to watching new movies.

Ive been loving the new weather. yesterday i drove back to omaha for a job interview and the whole time i felt amazing. theres something about the perfect weather that makes me wanna grab the pole and huck some line out in the pond. Thinking about it now makes me wanna sit out on a doc at my friends cabin and crank some sublime. Good lord thinking of it now got me thinking of cracking open a grape crush. Ngl grape flavored soda is crazy underrated and needs more respect. id take the phattest grape soda before i grab a Sunkist or some other bs.

Music Taste

I would say i have a very wide taste in music ask me about any genre and i can pull something out. it started when i was youngin and was in my dads car listening to def leppard. I loved it off the start and began a journey that ill never forget 🤓. I would get quized by my dad and his friends making sure im still listening to good music. after that my taste began to expand and i got into 90s 70s and then more genres. as of the last 5 years my top artist has been Mac Demarco and im going to see him in concert. Within my time of owning spotify premium ive gotten into jazz, metal, indie, blues, funk, and more that i wont get into. If someone asked me "if you were to show an alien Earth music what would you show him." I would probably show him tool or Tame Impala.

500 days of summer is a mid movie

I was scrolling through my photos for some inspo and i landed on these dime piece of photos. It feels so nice to look back at this summer. i had so much fun hanging with friends every day and just riding the vibe all day. My summer routine was so goated. Wake up at 7 am get to work at the blue collar at 8am, come home around 4, take the fattest nap ever. wake up, eat dinner, go to band rehearsal, hang with my friends, light fireworks, go fishing, play videogames, go to bed wake up and repeat. In that first pic there thats me and my buddy Miguel. Hes like 23 or something. Hes a great man and i felt honored to be carried on my graduation day by him. I cant wait for this summer because i will be doing it all over again.

My Cat

I couldnt think of anything to eventful from the past weeks so i thought it would be nice to show some pics of my cat. By no means am i obsessed with cats i just like my cat. He's a strange guy who only really likes me. My family wants to get rid of him but i just don't think they give him enough attention. I understand though because if my mom tries to carry him he'll get all angry and bite her but when i hold him he just nonchalantly stares off in the distance. We never really gave him a name we all just kind of call him "kitty." i wanted to name him Cali after California but the name didnt land because it didnt really fit his personality.

On occasion he'll be a goof. whenever its late at night you'll hear him run around the house. he's definitely nocturnal considering he sleeps all day.

for my psychology class i went to the Sheldon art museum. I walked around and look at all these paintings and my friend on the right there told me I had to see this piece. in the photo on the ground, there is a bear rug with an American flag on his back with bullet casings as claws. Im not one to judge art because Im not a great artist myself but I have no idea the symbolism behind this. Again I don't want to sound rude by any means but I seriously have been spending way too much time thinking about this bear rug and what it could possibly mean. Regardless it's one of the most patriotic things I have ever seen in my life.

Abels amazing phillys

At Abel at University of Nebraska Lincoln they offer a Philly cheesesteak sandwich and it is by far one of the best things they offer at UNL. I would pay tuition just to get that Philly. Personally I like to throw some jalapeños, peppers, cajun mayo, and pepper jack cheese on top of it. At the beginning of the first semester they sold it all the time but unfortunately you can only order it at 830 pm now.

My Christmas break was awesome. I had so much fun hanging with the family, watching Christmas movies, and all around just vibing. I got to see people I haven't seen in so long and we caught up about our lives and old memories of better times. attached to this post is a picture of my family. On the left there is my father he's a chill guy always keeping up with the dentistry newsletters. Next to my dad is my brother, he always pulls out references from movies I never watched and sometimes makes me question how many niche references I know. Next to my brother is me, always feeling tall, strong, and handsome. After that is my mom, she's always looking out over us making sure we make good choices and always teaching us new things. I can't forget to mention the guy on the ground. His name is buddy and he's the man of the house. He walks around protecting the family from deadly mailmen and solicitors.

The video I attached to this blog was from last year in December. I thought I would look back in my camera roll and I found this video. It was show band and it brought me back reminding me of all the good times I had, playing drums and hanging out with the band. We used to play fire music that had me grooving.

other than that I believe thats all I have to say :)
