So if you read my other blog it talks about the poem reading that happened on saturday, well Korey my brother thinks it was really good and I don't know what to really do with what he is putting out there for me. He has offered to record me and make me a myspace page with some of my poems on it. It sounds great but I don't want people to think that I am trying to become some successful poet (it would be cool) but it is not my dream. I don't feel like I am good enough to make it in that industry especially when Bradley Hathaway has done basically everything I am about to do. I am not Bradley Hathaway and I am not trying to be. I enjoy reading my poetry to open ears and the more people know about me the more people I can read to. I don't have dreams of becoming this amazing poet with a book and a cd, I am just a kid trying to entertain myself and do something I enjoy. I know that many people will view my plans as a entreprenurial effort to become a great and famous person, that is not my intention. I am not looking for glory or to even make something out of my writings. I am just doing something I enjoy and I am not trying to steal anyone's thunder or put the lime light on me. I know many people will see it that way but hopefully the people that matter and care about me will still see me as I am and not as some get rich quick poetry loser trying to copy something that has already been done.
thank you again to everyone who listened to my poetry I enjoyed it and thank you for anyone willing to give me advice on this subject aka sara and mitch.

my first poetry reading
this past Saturday, I was invited by my brothers in a band called Exploring the Sky by Day to read poetry before they played and I did.
I read seven poems that I wrote. I was really nervous just because poetry is more of a mature kind of thing where as rock music is a sporatic art. (I'm not saying my poetry is art) So I was worried about how people would reacte to my poetry and luckily everyone seemed to enjoy it. Once I started reading I realized that I was going to be ok and that I have been on stage before. I read and everyone laughed at the right parts and seemed to enjoy it.
After I was done I was greeted with, "Josh that was so good." and "Josh, I loved it." which was good because I've always been kind of had a doubt that my writing isnt very good. so everyone seemed to like and it and I was invited to read again before Exploring the Sky by Day. So it was great and my best friend Jordan said he loved it and that was the best part because he doesnt say he loves anything unless he really does.
Thank you all of the Burnet kids for that experience
Thank you poetry night for teaching me how to read poetry properly and to write well.

new experiences I suppose
This is the update on myself, here is some of the stuff my life contains.
I still dont know if the Great Pumpkin is good or bad.
Being out on the lake with Ben, Cory, and Abe is always the funnest time. I dont know why its always good with them but it is.
I like to film with my little dinky camera way to much.
I have finally let go of trying to make my future the best one possible. I am just putting it in God's hands now.
I have realized I have never been in love with a girl. I also have never had a broken heart.
I write way more than I used to.
I go to Kay's and Zales and pretend like I am buying a ring for a girl and I am going to propose to her...I dont even have a girlfriend, I just think its funny to listen to the girls that work at the stores.
I understand Mitch's blogs and his 'about me' now.
I take walks in the park almost everyday and I don't stop walking until I have put my ipod on a band and listened a whole cd of theirs.
When I see a girl and I think she is pretty I walk up to her and say "You're very pretty." I say it sincerely too and then I just keep on my way.
I want to learn to play harmonica really bad.
I explored these woods behind Home Depot and their is this creek back there and it has so many frogs(like bullfrogs they are so big) and turtles, and the creek is to shallow for them to run away from me or hide underwater so I chase them and catch them. I put them back after I capture them. No harm done.
I have a big sister and big brother, Sara and Mitch. I have never realized how much I have learned from Sara until now. I just think about how far I have come from when I first met her and now where I am. I have not hung out with Mitch for longer than about 4 hours, and everytime he sees me somehow he is able to mess with my happy little life. I don't question life alot, I don't try to comprehend time and God, I just know what they are or what they want from me, but dang Mitch smashes my happy little life. He makes me look at things and think about things I have never thought about, I get lost and I have no idea how to take the information he has just laid in front of me. So I ask him and he just says that I have figure it out for myself. Then I try to be sneaky and ask Sara what Mitch is talking about but she says the same dang thing. Mitch and Sara you mess with my life so bad just to let you know, but it is a good thing.
I have really good brothers and sisters, Will, Jordan, Korey, Kenan, Ben, Cory, Jacob R., Alisha, and Virginia.
Lightning is still the best part of nature.
I am planning on going on my own mission trip with some friends. I don't like people being in charge of me and telling me where to go so I have decided to start my own. (if you are intrested let me know)
Life is a really good thing.
Finding friends is something I don't have a talent for.
I fear crickets and Hell about the same amount now. I don't know if that is good or bad.
I think that is all that I will reveal for now. Thank you for your time...but time doesn't exist just to let you know. pffft mitch

Mitch and Sara
thank you for all your help throughout this past year, I have learned so much about life, God, relationships, and happiness from you guys, I just wanted to say that I appreciate everything you guys have done for me. You are my second pair of (not old) parents. I just wanted to say thank you for always teaching me something and being great people to me and everyone around you. I only hope that one day I will have someone to relay all the advice you have given me, to.
thanks guys and I am going to try and stick it out here.
