Long time coming

Feeling: happy
So this should be long cause I have not written one in a long time. I'll start with two Fridays ago. It was the start of my spring break and I went to go see my friend Andrew's band, System Overload, play at club Indigo. They were bad ass as usual. I recorded the whole show and I'm working on a dvd for them. Also making a music video to Stay Away with the film i got of it. Hopefully I can have it all done by the end of the week. I want to finish it so I can see it and I want to send it to them, I know Andrew and Dustin are anxious to see it and I'm sure the rest of the band is too. Then last Tuesday I went back to Eisenhower park with Aaron and Josh. I have a few pics from there in my pictures part of myspace. Its a lot of fun going there. There is a bunch of rocks to climb on and being out in the wild kind of (its a state park so not completely wild but close enough) its really peaceful and a nice break from things. Then on Thursday I went to Houston and saw Rascal Flats play at the Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo. They were awesome. They sound almost exactly like they do on their cd's, and they weren't lip singing. The sang all my favorite songs from them and also sang two rock songs at the end of the show, Def Leopard - pour some sugar on love and Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name. They were really good at the rock songs, which surprises some but I've always found that country singers generally sound good with rock music as long as they don’t try to change their voice for it *cough*Garth Brooks*cough*Cris Gains*cough*. Then after the concert I went home to Edna to spend the rest of the weekend with my family. My dad woke me up at 7am on the morning to take me fishing. I hadn't been fishing in a long time so I was all for it. Well we got to the place we were going fishing which was awesome cause its on private property so don’t have to worry about any one getting in our way while were there and started fishing. It didn't take long to start catching fish. Well at least for my dad. He caught about 3 catfish before I caught my first but that’s how it usually goes. Bout an hour after I got there I caught my first which was too small to keep so I threw it back. Then caught a keeper right after it and then after that the fish just kept biting all the way till 12 pretty much. It was awesome cause me and my dad got to sit there catching fish and talk which I haven’t had much time to do with him in a long time. Well after 12 the biting pretty much died down. My dad caught about 2 fish between 12 and 2pm and I just had some bites but wasn't able to hook the fish. I think they were little catfish just picking at the bait, but any ways right at about 2 I was sitting there talking to my dad not really expecting to catch much more cause we were planning on leaving at three and he yells Donald your pole. I look up at it in the pole holder and it was bent in half sticking straight out at the water. I jump up and grab it and yank hard. The constant pulling continues and I decide to yank again to make sure I have it hooked cause I didn't want to lose it cause I could tell it was big. It probably hooked its self but I didn't care I yanked hard again. Then I started reeling it in and let me tell you it gave me a fun fight. It pulled out a lot of drag and when I got it up near the shore it jumped completely out of the water and did a flip and went back in the water. It looked pretty big when it did that. Then I got it in and saw it close and I had caught a 2ft long 7lbs blue catfish. It’s the biggest keepable fish I have ever caught. Here is a picture of it. On top of that me and my dad caught 17 catfish all together. All and all I had a great spring break. Hope you did too and if you’re just getting to yours hope you have a great one. Till next time Donald
