Our Fatal Flaw

This was inspired by a particular episode of Scurbs, when Dr.John Dorian describes the fatal flaws of each of his peers. So, if its on Scrubs, it must be true *I dont have a life five!* So even if we dont like to admit it, we all have some kind of thing, that can weigh us down. Mabye its self confidence, or maybe the ability to trust others. But whatever it is, each flaw is unique to each of us, so nobody knows exactly what were going through. Not only regarding fatal flaws, but in every single aspect of life. We all have a unique story, thats what makes life so hard sometimes. But anyways,fatal flaws can be fixed without much trouble. You just have to open up, trust yourself and others, and forget about the world says. Because at the end of the day, it is YOUR life... who else could live it the right way but you. Which brings me to another point... Live your life the way you want to, regardless of what is expected, or desired by others. I make music because I want to. Making other people happy is just a bonus. However, Im not suggesting you live your life in a self centered way, but life as a whole should be for YOU, not your friends, or those that think their friends, but their really people you jut dont want to be a part of your life anymore. Even the best of friends, can only go so far in the matter of directing your life, because its your movie.

SOOOOOOOO, back to the flaws, no matter what your flaw is, its probably the only thing hold you back from whatever your ultimate goal is. You may feel down and lonely, but if you can fix your fatal flaw, it might turn out that youve been on top of the world and you just didnt know it.

Keep living life

The Mastermind and The Midnight Mower

For those of you that dont know me (which im sure is everybody) Im Mason. Im a freshmen in the drumline (snare), here in Kingwood, Texas. (Hence the drum-pun title). If you dont know, a paradiddle is a percussion thing... I love to listen to music of all kinds, good music is good music. I play set in my church youth worship band, and trust in God with all my life.I have a wonderful girlfriend of over a year, Hannah, whom I love with all my heart. And babe, whenever you read this, sorry I gave you a male cat and told you it was female... (sorry for the humiliation). I know some of you think Im a dork for naming my blog with a drum-pun, (Hannah), but whatever, because I do what I want, so back off. ;)

My blog was inspired by Kourtelynne Smith, aka the best drum major ever. Love for the Small Loud Panter Proud KPHS Marching Band!! As I mentioned, Im in the Kingwood Park Marching Band. I love not only listening to music, but making it as well. We all need something to feel like were doing something worth doing in this life, so why not entertain others and make them happy while having some fun yourself at the same time?? Band is my thing. Being a part of the drumline and band during band camp since August 1 has made the journey into the really important part of my student career we all know as High School (or Senior High for all you middle-agers out there), not only a change, but a reinvention of what I stand for.


I question things alot, just cuz. Lots of things need questioning, like the weather man having an ear to ear smile on his face as he announces a devastating hurricane approaching the coast. Or the guy across the street mowing his lawn at 12:30 AM... (yes thats really happening right now). Like why would you do that?? Its Labor Day weekend, its not like you couldnt find time during the day to do this! Could you not sleep knowing that your grass was an eighth of an inch too tall?

Coming into this, I had no idea what I was gonna write about, but my fingers just keep typing without ever filtering the words through my head. But mabye thats what blogs are right? A place to just talk and rant to people looking for a good laugh. And Im ok with that, cuz to be honest, alot of stuff I talk about on a daily basis is pretty funny. Not because Im trying to be, because apparently Im not funny at all when i try to do that. (Hannah again. Sorry babe love ya!!). So as my laptop battery creeps into the black hole of powerlessness, Im really looking forward to doing this, just for some downtime to talk. Thanks for listning, hope Im entertaining everybody :)
