Okay, so my real name is Wesley Riddle. I am a music writer, music performer, music singer, and a small bit of a choreographer. I am now an artist for this site. I submited my lyrics just a few minutes ago and I hope they will be accepted. It said to notify the forum, but I don't know where I would do that. So I'm doing it here. I'm trying to get a band formed, and hopefully get a concert tour set up around Virginia, US. I love to write music, so hopefully I can keep doing so. MaoMao27 and I are currently working on our first cd, "DEMO 1." It will have my first three songs ever on it. Then we will try to borrow a professional recording studio and work on making my first album, and hopefully my biggest, "Living the Dreams." I will eventually have 15 songs on that album, including the lyrics I submitted. If anyone has any questions about my music and start-up career, I'll be free to answer. And please do. I'd really appreciate it.

10:25. It's not too late. Yet. I'm going to bed as late as I want tonight since I don't have to work tomorrow! The reason is because Matthew and another man that works for The First Tee, Randy, are going to a camp for kids that has parents in the military. I think it's near Richmond, VA. I was going to go with them, but I have the choir thing at my school at 6:00 PM tomorrow, which is sort of not a good time. And that's because they don't have any idea what time they're getting back, so there would be no way for me to get back, since they can't drop what they're doing and take me home. I wanted to do it, but I can't. It'll be alright, since I can relax all day tomorrow. Yay! Today started out simple. Same leaving time, same arrival time. Today four different schools got together for a match at the golf course, which our school was one of them. I know everyone on the team, and then some other people on different school teams around. Matthew, and then the PGA Pro Dave, and me watched them tee off. About every shot was good, and about four people hit a really suckish tee shot. It was okay though. Out of 30 kids, that's not too many. Then we headed up to the office, did a few things. We got some of the stuff ready for tomorrow's camp. I would of had to been at the golf course at 8:10 AM to leave, but at least now I can sleep in a wee bit. The equipment is called "snag" equipment, or "snag" golf. It's because instead of using actually clubs and really golf balls, we use plastic golf clubs (which also indicate how to hold the club) and, I guess, tennis balls. Different colour ones. It took about 20 minutes, and also my back. It really hurts. Then we were waiting to go to lunch, but then a friend, Ethan, came buy and wanted me to play a little bit with him. So as soon as I left, Matthew and Randy went with two other people out to eat to some restaurant called "Pennybackers." A sandwhich shop. I only played a few holes, because my back was in a lot of pain from the snag equipment and carrying my golf bag. It's still sore and in a wee bit of pain as I'm typing. Then I was locked out of the building. When I got up their. There are two buildings. The pro shop and the learning center, for The First Tee. I was locked out of the learning center. For 45 minutes. So I took a little nap in a golf cart underneath our pavilion. It felt good since it was nice out and shady. They came back later, then I got inside. We did a few more things, then took a little break. Then we had a class at 4:00 PM, over at our short course. We headed out there with our equipment, but then my mother called and said she was coming to pick me up. I totally forgot that I had to get home at 4:30 PM, take a shower, eat, then leave to the school for the singing event from 6:00 PM to 9:00 AM. Just kidding, PM. After eating and leaving, I drove to the school. A decent drive, about ten minutes. For me. Other people always zoom right past me, speeding. I didn't care though. We are singing some pretty cool songs this year, like "Praise His Holy Name," "Cindy," "Five Hebrew Love Songs," and "Twa Tanbou." All really good. "Cindy" and "Twa Tanbou" are very challenging. I like challenges! Very good time today. Tomorrow it's only from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. I forgot why, but I don't care or mind. 10:49. Currently, I'm watching "The Colony" on Discovery. This has been a really good episode. My favorite so far. I'm not sure what day they're on out of the 50 days since I've been typing. It's going off in the next ten minutes. I don't feel like writing anymore for tonight. So 10:51. Me signing off for now. Cheers.

2:52 PM. I took the test today and I got my permit. Exciting! I was glad I was able to get it. I was really nervous this morning, I thought that I might hyperventilate. It was scary, but I did it and hyperventilate. Yay! Okay, so I drove home afterwards. It was fun; a few small mistakes, but it was alright. Tonight I have a choir camp. It should be fun. Seeing old facing from 2 and a half months ago, maybe even new people. I forgot if new people are coming in or not. I keep stopping at typing because I'm talking with my other work-buddy, Randy. Nice guy. Around his 60s, but really cool and hilarious. This coming Saturday, I am teaching my first two classes. The first class is from 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM, which I'm doing alone, and then the second class is from 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM, which I'm getting help with by the head PGA pro here, David Johns. Really funny. I've known him since 2002. Since The First Tee started here. The first class has four students and the second class has six. Also, with the first class, I've had their class before. And then the second class, I know 2/3 of the people. So at least I won't feel like I'm doing a bad job. 3:14 PM now. I keep stopping and talking. I forgot, I have class at 3:30. Actually, not forgot. Just didn't remember. I didn't know time was so close. Four students already came in, then another girl who's name is Angie Lopez, who is making me want to watch George Lopez right now. Funny. It should come on tonight. I get back from the choir camp at 9:15 PM, so it might be on when I get home. Or at 10:00 PM; I really like that show. I've really started to drink a lot of Powerade Zero, with an "Advanced Electrolyte System." The drinks helps replenish four electrolytes lost in sweat. Quite fancy! It has a lot of sodium though. I would probably like it more if it had less sodium, just for health. I can't taste any little bit of salt flavor. The flavor I have now is Strawberry. It's good! I think I better go now. I didn't write as much as I usually write; I will try to write some tonight. 3:21 PM. Cheers.

10:00 PM. Today was a long day. Well, at least, it felt like one. I'm pretty tired too. I have three things to do tomorrow. I'm going to bed tonight at 11:00 PM; I'm waking up at 6:30 AM, leaving at 8:00 AM to Woodstock, Virginia, arrive around 8:45 AM and take the driver's test for my permit (which I should have done a long time ago), go somewhere to get lunch afterwards, arrive back home around 1:00 PM, head straight to the golf course after getting my things, work until 5:00 PM, leave to go home and eat quickly, then go to school for choir camp from 6:00 until 9:00. Then relax finally/hopefully. I hope I will get the permit; I'm pretty worried. The DMV I'm going to is actually quite small, with few people. So I think I'll do fine. Since I studied a lot. Today I started out with waking up. I woke up at 9:16 AM AGAIN (pretty strange), ate some breakfast, then relaxed for about 30 minutes. Then I picked up my driver's book, studied that for a good while, taking a few breaks in-between. At 1:00 PM, I started to watch a NASCAR race. It was good, overall Kevin Harvick won the race. I like Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Jeff finished 27th after moving from 36th to 3rd, then getting a flat tire, ruining is race for good, Tony Stewart finished 6th after starting 4th and leading some laps (good day for him), and Dale Earnhardt, Jr., starting 38th, finished 19th. Not the best finish for him; hopefully he can improve. I met two NASCAR drivers; Stacy Compton a while back who drives in the Craftsman Truck Series and Dave Blaney, who drives in the Sprint Cup Series but finishes at the back a lot. I really like him; his daughter, Emma, dated my cousin, Aaron! She and Aaron's brother (my other cousin) Zach were graduating, so I met Dave there. It was cool, I got his autograph. I know where he lives and I could get his number anytime since everyone on my mom's side knows who he is. I watch a lot of racing things, and Formula One. Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton because they are British, like me. And then Mark Webber, I like team RedBull. Not the drink, the team. I'd choose to either be Australian or 100% American, not 50-50% (American and British). Back on topic, after the race I studied a little bit more (the book). Then we went to the Outback Steakhouse (how funny is that after just talking about it). I had a Applewood Bacon Cheeseburger. It was delicious, since I haven't had a burger for about a week. Or one that well. The movie theatre is right beside it sort of, so sometime I could go to the theatre and then go to eat either at the Outback Steakhouse or Ham's, which is right beside that, and right beside that is Coldstone's Ice Cream, so that could be a good dessert. So a good little line of places right there, I might say. I studied the book a little when I got back, and now I'm here on Songmeanings. My parents just went to bed, 10:26 PM. I just noticed there was something I needed to type for work that I haven't typed up. I will do that sometime this week. Right now I'm just paying attention to getting the permit and the choir camp. I wanted to drive back home if I were to get it, but I would have to drive on the interstate. I'd rather not do that first thing. I just looked out the blinds to see who is still up. Apparently, it's my neighbors across the street and my other neighbor's to my right of the other neighbors. Confusing a little bit. I'm excited about this cool new game coming up. It's Driver: San Francisco. The company is saying it will come out sometime from January to March in 2011. It looks very realistic, not Gran Turismo 5 good, but very good. There are also other Driver games, the main ones Driver (1999), Driver 2 (2000), Driv3r (2004), Driver: Parallel Lines (2006), Driver 76 (2007), and Driver: San Francisco (2011). Pretty cool; the game in real life would have 335 kilometres (208 miles) of road in real life in Driver: San Francisco. Unfortunately, you can't get out of the car/walk around. That's alright though. 10:41 PM. I going to sleep now, so cheers.

11:06 PM. It's pretty late, once again. But it's a Saturday. Plus no work at the golf course tomorrow. Good for me! Monday I'm going to go get my permit, take the test. Hopefully pass. I studied the book, and I think I'll still do well. I could have done it a few months ago, but since my mom and I have been working, we never could fit it in. But oh, well. I don't care too much. About having to get it ASAP. I don't mind waiting. Today was a decent day at work. It started out with me forgetting to set my clock; I woke up at 9:16 AM. The first class of the day was at 10:00. So I quickly got up, ate breakfast, got dressed, brushed my teeth, and left. I got there at around 9:50 AM, so I made it on time! Unfortunately, the first student couldn't make it because of his parent's working and no one could take him. 11:11 PM. Wish time. I wish I could get a girlfriend for the first time ever. It's around that time; a lot of people at school have one. Probably half of my 10th grade class. Back on the work topic, so the student couldn't come. So we went down to the pro shop, hung out around, watched some golf (surprise!), then headed back up. Before our next class at 1:00, we went to A&W/KFC and got some food (Matthew and me). He got popcorn chicken (as a combo meal) and I got a bacon double cheeseburger combo meal. I like them plain (I'm not too sure why), but I forgot to ask for it plain. I then took off all of the stuff when we got back to work. It was still good though. Then our next student came for the second class (only one kid named Shaun). We went on the driving range, then went down to hole 10 and played that hole. A little pointless, but still would help Shaun. I got a bogey on that hole, could of birdied but I shanked the ball from around 45 yards back. I had a good drive, just not the chips. Need some help with my 56° and stuff around there. After that class, we had a four person class, the PLAYER level (the first level). Two girls, two guys. Around 10 years old. I think I'm lying, around 7 to 9. Not sure. Didn't ask. They built golf holes, pretty hard ones. Confusing, but hard. It is always fun to play them though. Afterwards, we headed back up. It was raining the whole time. At one point, a Gray BMW car alarm went off four times because a little girl in the back seat kept opening the door! The "father" (maybe, I'm not sure if it was or not) came and turned it off, but it hapened the two more times. She finally realized what she did wrong. When we went up to the building and all of the students left, Matthew and I watched some videos on the computer. I left later. I saw one of the craziest finishes in motorbike racing ever on SPEED. They finished side-by-side (I'm not quite sure of their names) at the finish line, and doing it frame by frame was way to close to call. Then they looked at the computer, and the margin of victory was 0.000, beating the NASCAR closest finish ever between Ricky Craven and Kurt Busch's 0.002 at Darlington International Raceway in 2003. Then they looked at the overhead picture, and that showed the winner, by a mear millimeter! CRAZY! Also, I've seen another thing that has blown my mind. And it was on America's Got Talent; 10 year old Jackie Evancho. She was such a marvelous singer. She was so great it really could have made me cry. Such a beautiful moment. I was speechless. Extraordinary. I would pay so much money to hear her in concert. 11:34 PM now. I am getting tired. I'm going to find something on the television. Cheers.

I am at work. Today is a slow day. This morning we had one lesson. We went to the driving range and practiced. I tried some trick shots. I succeded on most of them. Recently, I put a 56° club in my bag. Or a sand wedge. My other sand wedge is really old. So I'm going to give it to The First Tee. I also, about a month ago, or two, got a new pitching wedge. I did have a whole set of Linear Force by Dunlop clubs, but I lost, or misplaced (still not sure) my pitching wedge. So now I have a Cleavland Special 49° Reg. 588 Tour Astin (spelling might be wrong). It's nice. Plus with a nice MacGregor Bobby Grace putter and a 9° Warrior diver, I'm well off. I need more help with my irons. Especially around 150 yards from the hole. I can drive, chip on from around 100 yards, and long putt really well. But I'm not good with shots around 150 yards back or short putts around 3-7 feet. I'll screw it up big time. I'll practice sometime during the rest of this week. It's 3:24 PM now. I think I have a class coming up. Maybe at 4:00. I'll ask. We will play on the course. I'm pretty sure. I'll ask the main coach, Matthew. Mentioned him earlier. Not sure if I mentioned his name. Oh, well. I am getting a haircut later today too. I'm leaving the course a little bit early because I think I get it at 6:30 PM at Fantastic Sam's. It's beside a Starbuck's and Jimmy Johns. Two places I don't think I've ever been to. The phone just started to ring. I'm not going to get it. One cguy named Scott came in. He works for Parks and Recreation. Or for kids. Not sure. I'm not sure what they're talking about (on the phone). They just hung up. My mom is going to register me over at school today. She should leave right after work. She has about a 15 minute drive. That's not too far. From my house it's only about 8 minutes. Depending on traffic and getting stuck behind EVERY LIGHT. That is really annoying. It causes some people to get late to school. Especially if they live a good ways away. I have a friend, Gary, who lives out in the rural area, has about an hour to be on the bus. Which really sucks for him. Also a few other friends live out that way. Poor them. I just found out my class is at 4:00. Now in 28 minutes. Plenty of time to keep writing. I am curious how many holes we are going to play today. Probably three. Since there are a good amount of people here. I think. I'm going to look now. There are 20 cars. Minus one because Scott just left. So 19. Then plus the people that are coming to lesson. But they are not here yet. This computer I'm typing on seems like it is older, but it might be fairly new. I'm not quite sure. But I'm not worried about it. Not a big deal. The wind is blowing south today. So when we go on hole 1, the wind will be behind us. So I could get a good 250-275 yard drive today. Possibly. The wind, I'll guess, is around 3 1/2 speedwise. It felt nice and cool outside earlier, now it's warmer. It might be cool now since it's later in the day. I ate at Chick-fil-A again today. Same old, same old. Three times in a row. I eat pretty slow, and Matthew was finished and I was only halfway finished with the chicken sandwhich meal. One of the main reasons we keep going to Chick-fil-A is because his wife, Allsion, works there later in the day and he has a lot of free meal passes. It's the number 1. Pretty good. I'll get tired of it about the fifth time, and tomorrow we are probably going back. And tomorrow would be the 4th time. So it's reaching my limit. My mother just called. Now it's 3:46 PM. Matthew just went down to the putting green to do something. So we might not play on the course today. I hope we do. My back really hurt this morning on the driving range. I hit a lot of Nike range balls but I still didn't feel warmed up. So I just hit my 56° and my pitching wedge the hole time. I just noticed a water that's sitting beside me on the floor. I put it there this morning, but I forgot to drink it. I know the kids are coming really soon. I am going to stop writing for now. Cheers.

Wow, long day. No time at all to write a journal earlier. Right now it's 9:56 PM. Completely dark outside. I turned on the lights. Looks like my neighbors across the street are up. They are older but nice. I thought I just heard someone tap on my window. Crap. Probably nothing, but I'm about 65% sure my house is haunted. I've seen unexplanable things. Not recently though. Was really into the paranormal. Still is. Our ghost hunting team will find somewhere to investigate sometime. Hopefully. I know of a few places around here that we can go to. Just need permission from the places. We might have to do it during the day time. Doesn't matter too much, just probably not a lot of activity that could go on. When I was getting on the computer, I clicked the AOL button, it disappeared. Then some random picture of a cat popped up. Really strange. I don't have any pictures of cats saved on my computer. I don't think. I'll check later. I still don't think so. I just saw some man speed up the street in a car. The speed limit is 25 mph, with that orange sign on the top (I think if you go any more than 25 it's a fine). I would love to be a cop and get everyone in trouble going over the speed limit. It happens, around 50 times a day. In my neighborhood. People need to care. There are a lot of kids. And elderly people. That would really suck if someone ended up getting hurt for something like that. We just got a phone call. Our friends, like family, the Shanks. My mom woke up from it and is talking to them now. Well, her. Barbara. I got back home at, let's say 9:51 PM. Around there. To be percise. I was at MaoMao's house all day working on recording. We didn't get as far as we got last time. We almost have the album art finished. It's looking good so far. I'm pretty excited. He's working on it tonight and possibly tomorrow. It should be pretty cool. It's bright and colourful. So that's cool to me! We will get together two more times before we go back to school. I'm hoping we'll have classes together. Last school year, just one. Physical Education. This morning, or last night (I forgot), I finished my newest song, "What's Waiting For Me?" I am about 85% sure it will become a popular song. After a hard work of recording. Over and over and over again. Until it is perfect. I need to get a concert together. Just need the guitarist and drummist and bass and maybe a pianist. So now it's just me. Still will form a group. I go back to work tomorrow. It should be a good day. Friday's get me tired though. So I'll try to fight through the tiredness. The fair is next week. I think Sun. to Sat. Or possibly Mon. to Sat. Forgot what I was told. Oh well. I'll figure it out eventually. The demolition derby is on Friday. I love watching that. Sometimes. I've seen people get hurt. Last year someone flipped over twice and got knocked out. He was taken to the hospital. I think. I have run out of things to say. I hear a cricket outside. It's a little bit annoying. I hadn't even thought about it until I stopped typing for a few seconds. MaoMao just texted me and asked if I'm finished with my journal. I just said no. I will be once I stop...... I might clean up my room sometime. Old school stuff needs to be taken out, and a few clothes picked up. The carpet is vaccumed though. Plus there are a lot of paper's scattered around. Especially around this computer I'm on. My neighbor's across the street just turned off...I lied. They did, but they just turned their dining room lights on. They should be sleeping. I am hoping that something good will happen someday. I hope I can continue to write good music. It's just my genre changes a lot, since I can't figure out what genre it/they are. I'll ask some people and see what they can figure out. Finally my neighbors turned their lights off. They will sleep now. Maybe. Or maybe watching tv in their room. I'm not sure. The only lights I see on outside are the doorbell lights. I'm supprised how bright they can be. Up close at night, I don't think they are too bright. Interesting..... I think I might be finished writing today. 10:24 PM. Cheers.

I did bad on the course today. Game was off. Shanked the ball a lot. It was really bad. Didn't feel happy. I got wet five times. Two by storms, three by getting water dumped on me. Wasn't fun. I was upset by the end of the day. I'm good now. A little sleepy, not really tired. It's storming outside, right now 7:13 PM. I see lightning and thunder out my window. To my right. It looks close but it's around a mile and a half away. I have food behind me; I didn't finish my chips. I was watching Cash Cab on Discovery. I was talking to MaoMao27 on the phone. About stuff. Inluding our recording tomorrow. I hope it goes well. Without the problems. The thunder is getting more quit. Good. There was a golf club I looked at today. It was nice, Adam's Golf. It was a demo. It was really nice though. The whole set cost around 700 bucks, that's good for an Adam's Golf set. Nice set too. Had trouble finding them. My friend was going to bid on some nice 3-Wood, but it wasn't worth it. It looked nice. Too bad for him. It was raining and now it stopped. I use to hate when it rains; I could never sleep. Now it's fine, it's better with it. More relaxing. School starts up soon. I'm ready to go back. See all my friends again, plus it gives me something to do. Staying busy. I hate doing nothing. Then it's boring. I need to finish my music. Right now, 5 songs are finished. I need 15 for my album. That's my goal. I'm working on 4 songs. Almost finished. One sounds like it will be good. Need a good drummer and guitarist. MaoMao27 and I are making flyers for our towns. Well his town, my neighborhood. I'm talking to MaoMao now. He said hi, Songmeanings. These people on cash cab are struggling a little; doing pretty good. I just want it to be tomorrow. I'm ready for more recording. I stopped writing for a while. Now it's 7:43 PM. Cash Cab's still on. Pretty good. This one man's smart. I didn't know 9 countries boarder Germany. They are Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, and Poland. Interesting. It would be ten if Italy was about 20 more miles longer north. Maybe. Germany's the most boardered country in the world. Interesting as well. I will write more tomorrow. Cheers.

So today I'm going to go to the golf course and work like I always do. Two classes. Not too bad. One in the morning, one later in the day. Around 4, that is. I have a class inbetween; I'm in it. It's called The First Tee. Fun program for learning how to play golf. There are many places; I think 202 in the United States; only states the program isn't in is Utah, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Should be fun. We have to find a good place to eat. We've ate everywhere fast food, don't feel like eating anymore for a few days. Something cheap. We got Chick-fil-A yesterday; the man's wife works there; they're young, mid-20's. We mess around a lot. It's funny sometimes. Actually most of the time. Tommorow my friend MaoMao27 and I will do more recording; I'm making a demo album. Plus someone on this site is going to help if she can. We're trying to get a recording studio; he's making flyers to put up in his town, same with me. Maybe something in the newspaper. A lot of people read them. It's 8:26 now, as I continue typing. I'm not sure when I'm leaving exactly. Soon probably. Now 8:27, time passing. I pause here to get dressed and brush my teeth. Finished. 8:36. Less than 10 min. I will probably leave soon. I had trouble finding my wallet. It was actually right beside the computer. Hope I have enough money for food. I'm leaving tomorrow at 8:30 AM so we can get a head start on the recording, just like last time. Another friend is coming. He will probably be a distratcion. A month ago, I think, maybe a month and two weeks, we tried to do recording but he kept messing around with the mic and he didn't want to let go. Plus MaoMao's sister didn't know the parts, so I tried to teach her the parts while the other two were messing around. We failed though, since they were being too loud. They had the mic's volume up loud too, so it was a 100% catastrophe. Hopefully this won't happen tomorrow. We are going to set rules for him. He better not break them or I will be mad. He will also get in trouble. If he does something we don't like, we give him a warning. If he does it again, he gets punished. Not bad, though. Just he has to go find something else to do. If he does something the first time that is extremely bad, he is going to be punished ASAP. He usually brings up random conversations at random times. Like if I'm singing, he might just start talking. That is what will get him a warning. I don't like doing that type of stuff, but he doesn't have any power for tomorrow. Now it's 8:46, time for work. I will write something else when I get there. For now, cheers.
