Back from VT and some ideas from VT

Hello everyone it's been awhile, but I just got back from Vermont yesterday and I had a blast. I hung out with my friends, Garrett and Gabe and I had a lot of fun. Garrett taught me an easy blues song for my guitar and has also inspired me to play a lot more guitar seeing how cool it sounds when you get good. Garrett also inspired me to get an acoustic guitar because it's easier for practice, easier to travel with, and good for different styles of music. So my old friend Garrett inspired me a lot.
Also when I was in VT I was staying with my grandparents who were very happy to see us. It was good to see them again.
The day I spent time with my friends we had a lot of fun going to get a smoothie and milkshake, do this walk for diabetes, and just hangout kicking around the soccer ball. Maybe with my money I'll save up to go back to Vermont for a month or something next summer to hang out with Gabe and Garrett again. Also if I'm good enough I'll bring my guitarand Garrett and I can make up some of our own music, but next summer is far off.

Tomorrow is the last day of school!!!!!!!! We stay at school for an hour just to pick up report cards then go home. Can't wait.

Also some big news not everyone knows this, but recently I became a vegetarian and I'm have to say it's a little difficult, but it's for a good cause and there's plenty of other good foods to eat.

One last thing to say is sorry I don't have any pictures on yet I still have to download my camera software on here.

Keep on checking up on Irish life.

Check out this Picture Uncle Jim sent me of me in Big Sky

Crazy Irish life going on in IL

Well a ton of things have been going on these past few days and I knew if I didn't tell now my list would go on forever if I waited.
Anyway school ends in 6 1/2 days!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOO! Can't wait to just get out of all the school pressure and relax. It's going to be awesome. A couple big things are going to happen this summer. First one is well maybe not so big, but it feels huge to me is that my family's going to Big Sky, MT for a month. I can't wait to be in my true home. The other big thing that's happening is I know not huge just for me. Everyone knows that my family are also our favorite tennis player is Andre Agassi! Well, my mom got a deal signed at her work and this August her company's bringing the guest speaker Andre Agassi in!!!! My mom gets to introduce him. He is my favorite tennis player of all time even though he's retired. He is going to speak to thousands of people. I'm not sure what about, but I know that I get to be in the front row. Now even though I have my picture with Andre Agassi and got it signed I get to meet him! If your not informed I got the picture in front of a wall with him on it and I mailed a letter to him for him to sign. Well that's a big chunk of my summer and I have a ton more.

Next my camera arrived today! It's so advanced and I love it. I can't wait to get into some serious photography. Connecting to my camera these last couple days in school we've been talking about careers and we took this test that asked a bunch of personal questions and it came up with a ton of carreer possibilities. My 2nd one was Photographer. Now that I think about it I do love Photography and I'm really getting into all this photography stuff. That's what's going on with my new camera.

But last, BUT NOT LEAST is I just had my second guitar lesson and I just learned how to play basic guitar chords. I hear these guitar chords all the time in bands. My teacher Tom said in a couple more lessons I'll start playing guitar songs I like. Right now I'm working on how to play "God Put a Smile Upon my Face" by Coldplay.

That's all I have now.

P.S. Check out my youtube video of Whose Line is it Anyway with Richard Simmons. It's hilarious!

First Post of the Irish

Hi everyone I just started so it's not completetly set up yet, but it will be. Hopefully you come back and visit soon. I need to get some pictures set on here. Today I'm going to go look at cameras with telephoto lens. So I'll get pictures on here soon. In about a month I'm going up to Big Sky, MT and I'm going to take some photo hikes. Hopefully I'll get some good pictures to put on. The reason I'm getting a really good camera is because for the past month I've been loving the idea as a photographer for my career. Probably taking pictures of nature. Every picture on this blog is going to be mine for the most part. I want people to comment on my photos to see how well they are and if I could become a photographer. Also quick thing to add if you have experience with blogger could you help me with how to download music and my photo. Thanks!
