Guys are dumb.  Girls are stupid.

So...lets see, im feeling really emotional right now...string quartets.

A lot has happened in the past three weeks.  I love school...but I have come to some realizations that just suck.  There are people that I miss so much but I know I will never see them again...its not necessarily the people I miss its the way they were.  People have changed a lot and I miss the way they used to be.  Ever since I came up here and got involved with the school of music, I feel like I have a new family.  The old friends unfortunately can not relate to me.  Everyone thinks im going to turn into an asshole (again) because im in this school of music and everyone in the school of music is arrogant, which is complete bullshit.  Sometimes are love for what we do is mistaken for our arrogance.  When you work really hard to achieve something and you have great love and pride for what you have done, when you talk about it to people that dont understand it can come off as arrogance.  I dont know if that makes sense, it does to me.

In hindsight, High School is very strange.  You spend time with hundreds of people and hang out with them but when it comes down to it, high school friends rarely ever matter.  I really only consider four to five people good friends from high school.  Only three of them are in Boone with me right now.  I am glad to be out of high school...I just miss some things about it.

Anyway, on a happier note, Marching Band is pretty sweet and kicks high schools ass.  We have the first home game tomorrow and I am pumped about that.  I am rushing Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia this semester but I cannot pledge until next semester.  I joined MENC (Music Educators National Conference) and am considering joining ASTA (American String Teachers Association).  One thing is for sure...band people are a lot cooler than string people...I dont really know what the deal is.  Im in Jazz II so thats pretty fun, ill be in symphony orchestra next semester.  Im learning viola, piano, playing baritone in marching band and taking lessons for string bass and jazz bass.  Im busy as hell but im loving almost every minute of it. I love rambling...

well, if anyone reads this chances are I might miss some of you...I think you know who you are...or maybe you dont...

hmm....its been awhile.  All of my string bass stuff is done for about 4 months until I start at Appalachian in the fall.  Ive got the Telemann Sonata in A minor to keep me busy until then. Ive decided to start practicing electric again and I think im ready to finally start a band.  Not some gay band where they practice for like three hours a day three times a week and play van halen covers (who does that remind me of....).  No just something to mess around with.  I think I have a guitar player(hes nasty) and drummer (I have no idea how good he his and I dont take peoples word for it). I saw a band at Drips Saturday night that werent bad but the drummer blew.  He was so stiff, which is pretty bad because he was black. Black people gotta represent on the drums, you cant be all stiff and shit. 

I dont know whats going to happen...Ive just been in the mood to shred lately and I need some fellow shredders to engage in a long, over-the-top shredfest. 

I have almost given up on highschool...6 weeks and two days left to go of this bullshit and I am about to throw a brick at McDaniel and Ted.  Those two piss me off so much.  All I have left this semester is percussion ensemble and that sucks pretty bad too....everything sucks.  Youth Symphony ended last night and I dont think that I am going to miss it. Not that I dont appreciate how it made me grow as a player...I am just ready to move on.  This is a lengthy entry so I think I will rap it up.
