| I don't care who reads this, so whatever. People need to get with it and make this year alright so we don't all leave with bad feelings towards each other. Some of this bullshit is just completely unreasonable. What merits not talking to someone for 4 months? I'm sure that there were other circumstances that meritted not talking to, and this isn't one of them. The band was my idea, so fucking blame me if you want to pin the badge to someone. We've played two shows and it's a fucking blast, so if you wanna bitch the band out, don't talk to all of us. As for swimming, anyone who has tried to make my shoulders better through therapy and whatnot, you all can go fuck yourselves. You think strength is the problem, but I was fine freshman year, and I was dragging more fat through the water then with even weaker arms. I put so much effort into making it better, and you were fixing the wrong thing. I'm sick and tired of dealing with the pain when doing something that I love to do. Thanks a lot, motherfuckers. | | |
| I have taken a liking lately to classical/modern styles in guitar and piano, and I like it a lot. I discovered one of the many songs Falk gave me that I haven't listened to yet, and discovered that it was amazing. It's by Jordan Rudess and John Petrucci, the keyboard and guitar players (respectively) from Dream Theater. The song is called The Bite of the Mosquito, and it's very similar to the Flight of the Bumblebee. I've decided to learn it, and for those who care, it is constant 16th notes for 1:54 at the quarter=178bpm. It's insane. Tonight I learned the first 4 measures, at about 1/2 speed. I've got my work cut out for me. Anyone who would like to learn the piano would be most helpful, because I may want to do this for Class Acts depending on whether I learn it all or not and it's not too much work. XD Anyways, it's late and time to sleep. Night everyone. <3 | | |
| I figured that I should update, because maybe it would be cool. I don't know. I'm here to check it so I may as well. Not much happening really, but is it ever? I updated my Ipod, which was good because it needed some songs. It was hungry. I'm looking for some of the tracks from the first Stone Sour cd, so if anyone's got them and would like to hook me up, lemme know. New background pic for those who look, and I like it. The end. I'm tired, and this was a pretty useless post. XD Night all. | | |
| Well, summer is closing to an end, and I really wish new band practice (The August Coalition http://www.myspace.com/theaugustcoalition) had started earlier. Because it's super fun. We already have one song fully written without lyrics, and another one that hasn't been talk to Paco yet but is basically done. Also, we're covering the song Face Down by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
We've had two practices this week so far, and we're also practicing tomorrow and Saturday. Practice mania, and it's so fun! Songs will be up soon on myspace, but not yet. So much has been accomplished in so little time! Not sure whether or not we're going to get a male singer or what yet, but maybe it will just remain the three of us.
Not much else happening, really. I'm not sure whether I want school to start, becuase I will sure miss the free time, and the time I get to hang out with friends and play music. On the other hand, I will get to see each and every one of you every day. Plus swimming will start in November, and that's always a party and a half.
Anyways, I have to go sing maybe. Wow, that's a surprise isn't it? Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Either way, I can't play Xbox live, so it's off to find something. Night All.
