(nice gig, 4 hours of just me and my guitar gently weeping)<br />2. i've been reuniting with sunflower seeds. (i prefer ranch flavor, but regular is always a good choice.)<br />3. i cried a few nights ago and it was good. (i was watching Spring Awakening... i know, lame, but being a theatre major i kind of need to get in touch with my feelings every once and a while)<br />4. i like the swell season. (a ton)<br />5. i've been eating way to much bologna... (why is it spelled like that bo-lo-gna? not right. should be baloney)<br />6. i transcribed a guitar part for "Pure Imagination" from <span style="font-style:italic;">Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory</span>. (one of my favorite movies)<br />7. this list is actually pretty fulfilling seeing as it makes me actually think about things i do.<br />8. i miss writing poetry. (i had a stint a few months back where it was flowing)<br />9. i've been taking a lot of picture lately with my dad's old Olympus OM-1 camera and i like it. (my buddies who are in the band Small Reactions are hiring me as their photographer and actually are paying me [i think])<br />10. i've put those pictures around my room, and it feels like home now. (i moved from my apartment in Pooper [Cougar] Village into a house near a park [Lakebottom], and it's perfect)<br />11. (nothing entered)<br />12. i miss home home... the people mostly. (they know who i mean)<br />13. aaron is probably going to be the only one who reads this, if that, so hey... i miss you. (not in a gay way)<br />14. i need some suggestions on what to spend my money on from playing at this pizza place. (something musical, i.e. an instrument or whatnot)<br /><br />so...<br /><br />that was fun.<br /><br />maybe we'll keep this up.<br /><br />love,<br />jimjimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-75120091414064228772008-02-28T14:08:00.003-05:002008-06-30T22:57:11.698-05:00done,(post deleted on account of bitchassness)<content></content>jimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-9578887680019563842007-11-27T10:40:00.000-05:002007-11-27T10:53:02.564-05:00September 13th, 2007was the last time i posted anything. since then i have successfully closed a show and immediately opened another. this time i'm working backstage, taking on the role of the assisstant stage manager. so far it's been hurry up and do this so you can then sit for two hours. The Visit (the show i acted in) went really well, my friends got nominated for a scholarship and i'm really proud for them. now, i am busy working on a show called Fuddy Meers. it is so funny, a little vulgar at times, but then again what contemporary, comedic theatre now-a-days isn't? i also have a paper due in a week for my theatre history class, and i somehow swindled my way into writing it about a musician named Devendra Banhart (check him out, he's a ood folk artist). i am starting a new project with my friend Evan. we're writing songs and recording stuff, and seeing where it takes us. i know this is like the 18th band i'm in that i've blogged about, but i think i found someone who i enjoy playing music with and has the same drive and passion as i do. oh, and we need a name, so suggestions should follow.<br /><br />-jim-<br /><br />oh, i'm going back home the next two weekends to lead worship at FPC, so pray for focus and that our worship would be His delight.jimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-55706852420778340642007-09-13T23:43:00.000-05:002007-09-13T23:46:14.946-05:00SCT and other things...so i'm siked that sammy carmike trio is back in the studio, and we have a website on the way. that's right, a website. i'm going home this weekend to sing at Keith's ordination, which is weird because i've been there since the beginning of his seminary, and now, not only is it over, but he's actually a pastor. on top of all that, he's having a baby girl (whom we think should be named Mint or Asparagus). oh well, that's it for now.<br /><br />_jim_jimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-75998284433481525582007-08-23T19:22:00.000-05:002007-08-23T19:29:57.500-05:00well, update alreadysince my last post i have succesfully changed my monologue before auditions and landed the biggest role of my life to date. so, life's going well. we (fpc marietta) leave tomorrow for sharp top, and i couldn't be more excited. some mishaps has come up though. one of my fellow actors is sick. i personally do not know what this means as of right now, but we'll find out if we need to pick up and move on or just carry on as normal. big weekend this weekend.<br /><br />my show at CSU's information:<br /><br />Title: The Visit<br />Playwright: Friedrich Durrenmatt<br />SHOW DATES: Nov. 15-17 @ 7:30 PM and Nov. 18 @ 2:00 PM<br />Location: CSU's Theatre on the Park Mainstage<br /><br />i play the mayor... i'm siked.<br /><br />_jim_jimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-32397293354231316162007-08-15T11:37:00.000-05:002007-08-15T11:49:37.625-05:00so...i've moved into my new apartment, and when i say new, i mean NEW. it still smells like caulking and the fridge actually keeps things cold! school has yet to start, and besides the fact that i have a pretty tough schedule, i think it's going to be fun. i'm taking a lot of theatre classes to (hopefully) hone my craft and make my way up the ladder in the department. speaking of which, auditions are thursday (tomorrow) and i just picked out a monologue, fun right? let's see how far I get without looking in the book.<br /><br />"You want to know how low I've sunk? I didn't even speak to Edith. I made a phone call pretending to talk to her to scare the Edith and Karen in my head out of here... I tricked myself, i fell for it... the thing about going crazy is that it makes you incredibly smart, in a dumb sort of way. But I do feel like I'm loosing a grip on my life. As if I'm spiraling downward in diminishing circles like water being drained from a bathtub and sudden;y my big toe gets sucked in and I'm left screaming for my life... No. Not my life, my mother. Why, tell me why is it always your mother? It's never your father or your uncle or your second cousin from Detroit..."<br /><br />there's more, but i don't know it quite yet. i don't even think the part i wrote down is correct, so a little prayer for some focus would be nice. other than that i guess some prayer that i could get back into the sming of things would be helpful as well.<br /><br />that's it for now, hopefully i'll start posting more regularly.<br /><br />_jim_<br /><br />p.s.<br />some bands to listen to:<br /><br />Feist<br />The Thrills<br />Zero 7<br />Elliott Smith<br />mewithoutYou<br />Justice<br />Fionn Regan<br /><br />you will love those musician.jimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-60847939754222100682007-07-25T17:07:00.000-05:002007-07-25T17:09:02.813-05:00YO!i love making pointeless movies for sharp top. it's a blast.<br /><br />p.s.<br />sing in your car, it's freeing.jimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-51449572884992869862007-06-30T13:44:00.000-05:002007-06-30T13:53:48.341-05:00song...last blog kinda set the scene for this song:<br /><br />"Babe"<br /><br />All the love we shared, you can have it back<br />'Cause now it don't mean jack to me anymore<br />Take back your pretty hair and your big green eyes<br />'Cause they have all but lost the love you used to have for me<br /><br />(All of you)<br />I want all of you<br />(None of me)<br />But you want none of me<br />So, I guess I'll leave you alone<br /><br />Make me out to be the victim<br />Make me out to be the one who's hurt (x2)<br /><br />So dump your weight on him, 'cause it's rolled off my back<br />I hope he's got a knack for talking like the way we did<br />One day I'll move one, and you'll be in my past<br />Wishing that the "us" we had could've had a chance to last<br /><br />(All of you)<br />I want all of you<br />(None of me)<br />But you want none of me<br />So, I guess I'll leave you alone<br /><br />Make me out to be the victim<br />Make me out to be the one who's hurt (x2)<br /><br />I'll never call you babe again, I won't even call you friend<br /><br />(All of you)<br />I want all of you<br />(None of me)<br />But you want none of me<br />So, I guess I'll leave you alone<br /><br />Make me out to be the victim<br />Make me out to be the one who's hurt (x2)<br /><br />I want all of you<br />But you want none of me<br />----<br /><br />Oh well, it's what I felt and now it's done.<br /><br />jim[pharr]jimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-45323910429628556432007-06-24T15:45:00.001-05:002007-06-24T15:46:34.285-05:00i'm over it...a bomb just dropped on me. she's with one of my best friends. i've just lost two great relationships.jimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-10538750930087424942007-06-16T10:02:00.000-05:002007-06-16T10:23:48.770-05:00Awesome Road Rules VideoThe following is a video of a bet that started as a joke, but then quickly escalated to an all out leg-licking catastrophe.

(to read the story go to TWLOHA.com). all it took was some shirts and LOVE. i felt for this organization the minute i read the story. they believe in LOVE and that LOVE is the movement. they're on tour and are going around with Anberlin, Bayside, Meg & Dia, and Jonzetta, and all they are doing is showing LOVE. they're not pressuring people, not pushing a product, nor denying anyone. LOVE is what they're doing. GOD is LOVE and they're are showing GOD through their LOVE. a year ago LOVE became the movement and it is the movement.<br /><br />check them out, read the story, and decide if you want to join in.<br /><br />jim<br /><br />p/s/<br />the sammy carmike trio played CSU's talent show last night. we didn't win, but we won over a crowd we never thought we would. it goes to show, funny is colorblind.jimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-51900685604055379502007-03-22T15:14:00.000-05:002007-03-22T14:09:26.261-05:00at the red lightis the name of my musical outlet... not funny stuff about mexican food making you explode, but real musical outlet. we have a song called "you gotta buy your friends" that sounds kinda like the hives-ish, alternative scratchy sounding and it will be awesome to play that one live. it's all about frats and sororities and buying your friends (clever i know). our next song is called "pop goes the weasle" and it's kinda late 60's beatles. it's all about just getting tired of the same old boring life, and the chorus is a four part harmony on an "ah," so good. and our next song, "yoknapatawpha county" (anyone get the reference), was written on a dreary day. it's very folksie and has a very low, beat down feel to it. jeremiah's grandad calls it our "slave song," and for lack of a better term it's stuck. we have yet to find our "sound," but i think we recently found it... one word... hyphenated twice... are you ready? ELECTRO-ALTERNA-POP! synths and stuff... so good. i'm currently saving up money to get an m-audio midi controller, so we can play live. i'm excited, we're gonna go places!<br /><br />jimpharr.<br /><br />p/s/<br />sammy carmike trio is making it's first live appearence tonight (3/22) at an open mic night!jimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-39451589478576457922007-03-13T00:33:00.000-05:002007-03-13T00:36:11.340-05:002 linescurrently writing a song<br /><br />have two lines:<br /><br /> you're constantly<br /> out of my reach<br /><br />sad thing is... it's about a girl<br /><br />that's it<br /><br />gonna finish my song<br /><br />jimpharr<br /><br />p/s/<br />aaron and family, sad times we didn't cross paths...jimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-43238152776937160462007-03-07T01:28:00.000-05:002007-03-07T01:40:00.003-05:00hellothis blog is coming from the comfortable bed, in my house, in Kennesaw. It's great, I'm on spring break and doing EXACTLY what I want to... nothing! I'm getting a free wireless signal from one of the neighbors, and it's great. I'm watching Scrubs and that is awesome. I downloaded a lot of new music and I'm loving listening to it, Jim Noir, Arctic Monkeys, Bright Eyes (I know, very emotional), Rogue Wave, and Silversun Pickups. Spring break rules!jimpharr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16371075263919294356noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914846551846979834.post-64068039879146902632007-02-25T13:37:00.000-05:002007-02-25T13:42:43.490-05:00good thingsi've found somewhere to go on tuesday nights to get the message! it's in a couple of guys house and we just meet and worship with everything we have. i love it and i would like to extend a thanks to Dave (who willnever read this) who brought me. also, i am getting the chance to be a part in leading worship! it was my birthday a couple weeks ago and i got a bass guitar (fender jazz, royal blue...
