Don't you hate those days where you express every emotion you could ever imagine? Today has been beyond one of those days. I hate mixed emotions. I did swim to release some of the negative feelings I have right now. I think it helped; I hope it helped.
I have worked my butt off to get this benefit show together to raise money for our mission trip to Honduras. It's kind of annoying how no one did anything before our small group leader complained about it-- but now that they're actually attempting to help, they completely ruin everything. I seriously and honestly do NOT want all of the credit, I am only doing God's will, but I can't help but pointing out that me and one or two other people are doing EVERYTHING. Their doing nothing is only reflecting what will happen on the trip. They're not taking this seriously at all and it really bothers me. And also, don't get me wrong here, but the show was MY idea. I got all the bands together; I've been working on this whole thing for about 4 weeks now. You do not need to jump in because I asked you to do one or two things and take credit for EVERYTHING. Please don't take this rant the wrong way. I am not trying to be selfish whatsoever, so I am sorry if I'm coming off that way.
It also bothers me because it feels like no one will come to the show. We need a lot of money. Every house we build costs about $1,000, so depending on how much money we raise, is how many houses we will build. Maybe I'm just paranoid. I don't know. I think I just need to have faith and hope, but I also need reassurance.
Summer 2008:
May 22-May 26 = Heber Springs, Arkansas for Memorial Day!
May 27-May 28 = 3 exams then it's over!
May 29-May 31 = Italian Festival.
May 30 = Honduras Benefit Show @ Higher Ground.
June 28-July 09 = Honduras Mission Trip.
July 12-July 21 = LeadAmerica Journalism Conference in NYC.
July 17 = Sweet Sixteen.
July 21-July 23 = Sister time in NYC; going to see RENT on Broadway before it closes!
July 28?-August 2? = Bahamas for our 3 open water dives.
My summer is jam-packed. I'm very excited. :)
(One full day of school left. Hooray!)

Welcome to the blog rant circle. You now finally understand how ranty, whiny, and selfish blog posts can be. That's okay, though, because it is better than taking your anger and frustration somewhere else. (Take the knife holes on Justin's wall for example). Ranting does help, and sometimes words help more than anything else, especially when you know someone will read them or hear them. It's reassuring to know that someone out there cares enough to listen and hear you out completely; that's what this blog circle does. Rant your heart away, dear!
Also, I know I am not really part of this mission trip/small group, but if you need some help getting word out about the benefit concert, I can help in whatever way I can. If you have fliers, I can pass them out to people I know or just spread the word by mouth. Just tell me of anyway I can help; I would just need more information about the concert (times, location, etc.). I hope you have fun on your trip and really make a difference!
That makes me feel better. I hate thinking I'm being selfish and that I complain too much. It's nice knowing I can rely on people like you to listen and help. :)
Yay! Sure. I'll try and edit the blog post when I get home with the actual flyer. Here's the general info:
