Annoyed
So in April I auditioned for and successfully got a spot to sing the National Anthem this fall at a Lone Star Park race. They sent me a letter in the mail this summer informing me that they would contact me later and tell me when I would be singing.
... I got a call TODAY from them informing me that my already scheduled performance (Wednesday Nov. 4th... good to know since nobody contacted me prior to today to tell me this)... has been CANCELLED bc they decided to nix all their Wednesday races. So they're going to have to use me as a fill in in case someone cancels.
So thats cool... kind of a buzz kill. :( oh well.
... It's Thursday - which is my Friday. Looking fwd to a relaxing wknd.

WOW
Hey, all! I cannot believe how long it's been since I've updated this thing. So sad.
What's more sad, however, is the fact that nobody has probably even noticed... :( Oh well.
I think Twitter has eliminated my need for a blog - mostly because I tweet liiike 20 times a day... so I'm also cataloging what's going on. (By the way... You can find me under @Katie_Welch)
So what have I been up to?! School ended in May - got 2 As and 4 Bs for the semester so that's pretty good (considering how frequently I skipped class, haha).
I went to New Jersey with my mom to visit my family in June. It was SO fun!! I miss that side of my family more than I can even begin to express. All 7 of my mom's brothers were in town.. as well as her sister... so it was awesome to catch up with everyone. My grandma and pop pop are both in good health right now so that was a nice change of pace/chance to spend time with them. All my cousins are now in middle school or older. You're probably thinking that isn't a big deal... but you must understand... I have 20+ cousins on that side of my family - so there's ALWAYS been a toddler around... and now we're all old... and its freaky, haha. My cousin, Pat, just went off to the Naval Academy!! He's going on a full ride scholarship for lacrosse - so keep an eye out for Patrick Kiernan - he's going to go really far, I think. I got to see some friends I haven't seen since THIRD grade! AND I got to go into NYC for a day with my mom and Aunt. A lot of shopping happened - can't say I wasn't happy :) THEN we went down to the Jersey Shore for a day - which was lovely, as always.
Then a few weeks ago I went to South Padre Island with the fam. It was pretty nice. 92 degrees and sunny with a constant breeze - mmm yesss. I didn't get sunburnt either!! :)
Aside from all THAT - the summer's been pretty low-key. I babysit every Mon-Thurs from 730am-630pm. It's not HARD work - but it's definitely a long day... So I'm pretty consistently exhausted. Bleh. Needless to say, I can't wait for school to start up again. Working 3-6pm is going to feel like a vacation compared to what I've been doing, haha.
OH OH OH - I moved out of CityParc (technically I still live there 'til the 7th of August) and into an AWESOME house!! I live with Evan Elder & Will Campbell. Oh yea and our dog, Caymus. It's really great. I love it. I have the master bedroom so I have my own bathroom - and lots of room to breathe. It's perfect! Our backyard is huge, as well. :) :) Overall, it's an upgrade. But I miss my BethyPoo :(
What else, what else... OH! Richard and I celebrated our 2 YEAR anniversary on 7/28. How insane is that?! I'm glad we've managed to get through all of our little spats... aka... I'm glad he puts up with all my bouts of crazy. :) haha. ALSO -he is now employed by The Adam Corolla podcast!! He's doing an internship sort of thing where he is the main researcher for the show! He has to create and send in a 3/4 page summary of all the guests to be had on the show that week. Nothing TOO fancy - but hey... It's Adam Corolla... and it's legit. And I'm really happy for him :)
K that's pretty much it. I haven't been doing much on the music front since I last wrote on here... But seeing as how we have 4 guitars, a bass, some mics, and some sweet amps at the house - that is HOPEFULLY soon to change. I've been writing a lot more - and trying to play every day. I've also recorded some more stuff - I just need to get off my lazy butt and put it all online.
**I HAVE A MUSIC MYSPACE NOW** - it's nothing exciting yet - but it's a start. go to...

Okay that's about it, dudes. I hope everyone is doing well! I'll try to update this sooner than later!

two new songs
These both probably suck terribly. But - they're my two most recent ones. I'm up to 4 now.. hooray...
This one is probably called "The Better Stuff"
You gave it a shot
It wasn't all that you thought it would me
MMmm... MMmm...
Yea you risked it all
You weren't afraid to fall
You never thought it was a possibility
And now your falling
Back to a life you thought was through
And I'm here calling
With open arms I've been waiting for you
Because you thought that you were leaving
to find bigger better things,
when I've been here since the very start.
I guess we needed to be miles apart-
For you to see that what you need
is to be at home with me.
We'll make a little life, full of love..
'Cuz baby, that's the better stuff
You nearly drowned
That's why you're coming back 'round.
MMmm... MMmm...
To where you can breathe,
where you can actually be
The man you are who we all love to see
You were trying
to be who you thought you wanted to be,
And now you're finding
That your idea of perfection can't beat reality
Because you thought that you were leaving
to find bigger better things,
when you'd been grand since the very start.
I guess you needed to be miles apart
from home to see that what you need
is to continue to be
your perfect little self - full of love
Cuz baby, that's the better stuff
Your story isn't easy - in no way a fairy tale
You wanted to start over - so we all wished you well
But the truth is baby, no matter how hard you try
The grass is never greener on the other side
And now you're back,
with a clearer mind,
ready to reclaim,
your former life
Because you thought that you were leaving
to find bigger betterthings -
when you had it all since the very start -
now you know you needed to be miles apart
from home to see that what you need
is to learn and grow to be -
your complete and perfect self - who we all love
cuz baby, you're the better stuff.
----------------------------------------------------------
This one i just finished today so it could probably use some serious tweaking - just kind of needed to get it out for therapeutic reasons ... I'm going to call this one "Marching" (it makes a lot more sense when you actually hear it)
Falling, falling, falling,
This is wear we are going.
Down, down, down,
and here we are.
Back to where we started,
before the first time we parted.
I had faith
this was for good.
But now I see,
baby, you and me
are the ones
who just can't be.
Because you and I together
have never been better
than us on our own
separately.
'Round in circles we are runnin',
searching for something
that can save us
graciously.
You say you love me.
You're the best thing for me.
So why, why, why can I not feel
the simple way of knowing,
and naturally showing
this is it - this is for real.
I long so, dear,
to have that feeling near;
That you're the one,
without a fear.
We used to be better
living life together,
than on our own,
separately.
Now 'round in circles I am runnin',
searchin for something
that can save us
graciously.
I don't know if it's you, babe,
I don't know if it's me.
But my heart keeps screaming for me to be free.
I care too much to hurt you
when you've done nothing wrong,
But baby, I've been forcing smiles and kisses
too long.
Now baby you and I together
will never be better
than us on our own
separately.
'Round in circles I am runnin',
searching for somethin' -
but there's nothin'
that could save me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
k thats it. not even sure if im feeling 100% like that 2nd song so don't freak out about it, lol. I just started writing and it came out.
anyway they both sound pretty good with guitar - hopefully I can get them both recorded here pretty soon - on my youtube or in actual song form. we'll see.
thats it.
bye bye.
