Well today I spent most of my day in Baltimore! It was awesome!
My family (with the exception of my dad) and Zach’s family all went up to Baltimore to go to the aquarium and then get lunch. The awesome thing about the aquarium @ the Inner Harbor is that it’s more than an aquarium. They don’t just have a million tanks filled with all kinds of fish. They have tanks that are imitations of the rain forest, ocean, and all these other places. Like they actually have re-created those settings. It’s awesome. Of course, they also have the traditional tanks. :wink:
Well of couse I took pictures. You can see the page with the pics here. Some of the pics look foggy or a little blurry or you can even see the flash reflecting because of the walls of the tanks. Live with it. Oh yeah, also, thumbsup.jpg. Some lady’s reflection got caught in the glass so…yeah. It’s pretty funny. Some of the pics are just settings and some are fishies and stuff.
One final note: my blog has moved. Please change all of your bookmarks to http://danny.sparkeh.com/blog.

Oddly….it seems as though music is taking over my life. Not just “instrumental” music, but vocal music.
For example, I can tell that I’ve been getting better at the clarinet. I can play up to a high “C” without looking up the note. Even though it’s just a two note expansion (on my range), it’s still something. Also, I’ve been getting better at the piano. I’ve been trying to learn the notes on the piano without using the little numbers system thing, but it’s really hard. My parents said they’d get my private lessons, but only god knows when that will happen. And finally, I’m even learning how to playing guitar *correctly*. I already know one whole choard. I’m hawtt.
And I’ve also been listening to much more music lately. I’ve pulled out several old CD’s and listened to them also. Yesterday I spent the whole day listening to Avril Lavigne, “Let Go,” Pink, “Mizzundastood,” and some other old albums and stuff. I’ve even set up my old karaoke machine and set up all the mics and stuff. I then set up a little “recording studio” in my room; however it’s just some sheets hung up in a corner that blocks the corner of the room off from the rest of the room. I’ve wired microphone cords through the sheet and I’ve actually recorded a few songs and stuff. It’s my little corner of the world. It just feels great to be there.
As surprised as I am to say it, it’s (music) probably moved up the my #2 hobby (#1 = blogging). Look out New York, because I’m comin.

I remember last summer that Zack and I would get all of the kids in the neighborhood together (even though they were all like five years younger than us) and we’d play kickball and basketball. And we’d do it at least once a week. Well today that old tradition was reborn.
We got Samuel, Anna, my sister, and Miranda to play. The teams were simple; Zack and I against all. Things started out fine. They got like six runs. Then Miranda starts her traditional bitching. The teams aren’t fair (of course they were), the rules weren’t fair (we took away the unfair ones; aka her favorites), and all the other stuff that was totally fair. :roll: (BTW like my egg smilies? :cool: ). So it ended it screaming and yelling and Zack saying that Miranda foerfitted for her team.
Looks like the summer’s back and it’s here to stay.

It’s been raining all day and all night and it’s all wet and saturated outside. And, even though it’s 40+ degrees, my breath has decided to become visible. Plus, our creek is all overflowed and muddy and nasty. All of the newly-laid mulch has eroded away from the trees around my house. And, when I stepped into the grass, my vans became totally soaked through and muddy. Now they’re all nasty-looking. Another beautiful day in Maryland.

Happy Easter, everyone. Hope the Easter Bunny brought you loads and loads and bags and baskets of candy and stuff. It brough me a whole *poop-load* of things. Now I’m gonna wake up sick tomorrow. :-P Maybe later I can post a picture. I think i shall.
Right now, I have to go. We gotta get ready for church (it starts at 8:15! GAWD Who’s able to wake up that early? Only wierdo freakish old people :-P ). So ttyl.

Well lately I’ve been listening to myself sing around the house. Actually I’m singing right now (DJ Sammy – Heaven Candlelight Rmx). Well, dayum, I sound good. Not only in manly, guy low voice but in fermatto, high voice also. I sound good in both. I mean I actually think I have a future in showbiz. If anyone ever wants to hear something, call me. :)
Looks like these voice lessons are finally starting to pay off.

I felt very odd last night in Church (Good Friday). I felt just…..empty. It was so wiered. Our priest even commented on how the church just turned into an empty shell of a building, and there’s just nothing. I totally agree. But not only that, it seems like all of the people become empty shells. I found myself just empty. I didn’t feel anything. It was odd.
For some reason I guess I’m starting to believe in God. It’s just so amazaing. 2 weeks ago when I declared athieism, I felt empty. Eventually, I felt better. But then, last night, I just felt totally empty and spiratually dead. Just like Jesus. It’s so wiered. So I guess I believe in him now. It’s very complicated.
Also last night in church, our sermon was about people who were reaching their peak and how they still have use and value in this world and how they shouldn’t just die when they get old and crippled and/or disabled. It made me think of Terry Schaivo (sp?). I want so badly for her feeding tube to be re-inserted. She doesn’t deserve to die. She had a purpose, maybe it just hasn’t surfaced yet. She doesn’t deserve to have her life taken away from her. She deserves life. It’s just not fair how so few people can decided her fate. It’s not fair.

P.S. – I’m thinking of starting a Mayfield Community Journal. If you go to Mayfield and want details, email me.
*50th POST!!!!!*
As Danny walked down the aisle of his church, he walked with his head up high. He srut up to the alter on Holy Thursday and sat down on the Home Depot bench on the alter, where he sported his Vans. He sophisticatedly untied them and placed them beside him, and then a young boy sat down at his feet and washed them. But then his Dad didn’t have anyone else’s feet to wash so he had to wash my other one which totally took away my moment in the spotlight.
Yes, I went to church last night. Against my will. It was 90 minutes long. Then we had pizza. Not exactly a super night, but the pizza definately cheered things up.
But the horrible thing is that i didn’t get to blog yesterday! That means that less than a week before April, I failed my goal. You see, my goal was to post every day this month. But because of my unfair punishment, I have failed. Doesn’t that suck?

DANNY NEEDS MORE TIME TO BLOG!!!!!
