Fun Facts with the AwkwardBlock

My life, lately, has been ridiculously boring.* To those of you who REALLY know me, I am a citizen of the interwebz, meaning that I pledge my allegiance to a pixelated US flag. Other than that (and my rediculous** awkwardness), I am just like everyone else in the United States who doesn't get out much.

I am starting to bum myself out a little bit because without YouTube or Skyrim, my day falls apart. The most exciting thing that's happened to me since the summer started is that Toby Turner's "Tobuscus" channel is now the 25th most subscribed YouTube Channel. The only thing that comes close to the giddy, fanboy excitement this provides me is that Ray William Johnson's channel "RayWilliamJohnson" (an original channel name, if I do say so myself) may be rereplaced by Ryan Higa's NigaHiga channel. Ryan is gaining a lot of subscribers right now, probably because of the collaborations he's going to be doing soon on his YouTube reality show "Internet Icon".

PIANO! So I played at that wedding recently and here is a truly fun fact; when I can't fit my piano into the space you've provided for me, I can't play my piano. Wedding music 101, really. Elementary, my dear Watson. Elementary.

HARRY POTTER! Snape kills Dumbledore. ***

WEIGHT LOSS! Not happening. Since the summer started I've been taking a huge step backwards, but I want to get back into it. I even meant to bring my running clothes home so I could go running, but I forgot so...

BACON! Still delicious.

* Fun fact; I just screwed up the spelling of the word 'ridiculous' because I always spell it 'rediculous' as if something was at one time diculous and it is now diculous again.

** Dangit.

Oh, a trophy? For me?

These next few weeks are gonna be busy for me. Actually, it started getting busy yesterday. I have been preparing a few different things lately.

First off, I had a piano recital yesterday. It wasn't a huge deal and I didn't really sweat it too much. In fact, I hadn't even played the piece I was to perform for a couple of days before the recital because I'm an idiot. True story. But, it turned out okay. I wasn't even nervous, until I saw the camera. That's when I began to realize that I do not have a fear of playing in front of people. Nope. I have a fear of cameras. True story. So what I'm going to do is start posting more stuff to YouTube. I need to practice in front of a camera to get over this unexpected issue. Could be fun. Probably won't be, but it'll be something to do.

Second, I am playing for Church on Sunday! I'll be playing a couple of songs with my old choir to help out some, and it's all easy stuff that I've played before, but it should be a nice change of pace to be able to play and not be in charge of anything. Being a choir director kind of sucks the fun out of the ministry sometimes, and it'll be good to get back to just having to show up and play. :D

Third, I have a wedding on Monday. Yep. Monday. The most awkward day of the week to have a wedding. At 1:00 PM, which is the most time of the day to play for a wedding. Kind of fitting that the most awkward piano player in existence should be the pianist, no?

P.S. I think when I get famous I'm going to go by "The Awkward Block". No reason. I just want to highlight my awkwardness. I'm hoping I can get by in the world off of it.

P.P.S. I wish I knew how to tune a piano.
