Sorry It Turned Out Like This...

::I CHANGED THE WAY THE POSTING SYSTEM WORKS ON MY JOURNAL. IT'S ALOT BETTER THAN IT USED TO BE. NOW IT JUST POPS UP AND DOWN AT THE READER'S WHIM BY SIMPLY CLICKING THE LINK. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO GO TO ANOTHER PAGE!... BIG IMPROVEMENT!::
Jim - Can you say, "Jim, you're WAAAY overdue a post!"?
well... if you can, then you can state the truth. What's been going on?
Well....
As always, I've been overworking on music. I really need to get a life, but it's all good. I have confirmed the addition of "This Is My Story (Why I'm Always Late)" to the CD. This makes 6 songs on it... I think I might postpone the release of it and put more music on the CD. I wanna make it a full length album. It's gonna be like the difference between a 25 minute cartoon and a movie (to me at least).
School: Everything seems to be going okay... a couple of conflicts with my mom not having much help at home and her being disabled. Thats what I don't like about Dunaway. We have to play by his music at all times. He'll ask you to skip someone else's class but he'll never let you skip his. He expects you to do everything chorale is doing even if there is a very legit reason why you can't. It's very flustrating.
I really hope we don't have to do the Will Rogers thing on election day. We are sooo not ready... at least I'm not. I've never been good at learning dance stuff... but once I get it, I can do it. I think my report card is gonna come out okay. But not as good as I want it to. So I'm gonna have to put a lot more effort into my work this six weeks than the last.
Home: Home life is constantly in conflict with my school and social life. Apparently, my mother thinks that I don't care about anything but school. She says that I'm too involved in what's going on there.
Well, welcome do DFA.
So now I have to show more responsibility. There's only so much I can juggle and I'd like to do something I like to do every once in awhile...
Other than all of that............................ Nothing is going on. That's like what my whole life is comprised of...
okay... this post in general was pretty much a big complaining spree... sorry...
I promise, next time it'll be a lot more positive!
Leave your notes nice notes like you always do! :D

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I'm gonna look for the Great Pumpkin tonight!

To Hell With You And All Your Friends...


Jim - So kill the forest and destroy the beauty... It's been awhile since I last updated. But you know... it's Friday....
this was the worst free day out of school that I've had in a while... it started like this on Thursday after I got home from the powderpuff game (GO JUNIORS!!!)...
1. The sewage in the house stopped up and the downstairs bathroom flooded.
2. I spent the next hour soaking up water in a bathroom that was filled with toxic gas... I put some sulfuric acid in the drains and it was lethal...
3. the next morning I got up to find that we couldn't use any of the bathrooms... if we used any water at all, it caused the bathroom to flood more...
4. Someone started washing clothes and then the bathroom REALLY flooded... it flooded the whole downstairs...
5. I then spent a good 2 hours cleaning up water
6. The sewer engineer got here really late... like 4:00... we called them at nine this morning
7. We also had to get the carpet cleaned from where the water butchered it...
8. Adam had to cancel our recording session... but that's not bad... we probably would have had to cancel anyway with all that was going on... we're going for sunday...
9. I've just been able to eat something for the first time today
10. I'm tired... and I still gotta practice guitar...
you know I hate life...
So follow your bliss and destroy the beauty...
kill...
leave your ever-encouraging notes...
::Daily Lyrics:: - Well that's more sure in porcelain/ You're skin and bones, I'm a nervous wreck/ Well I've got a bad feeling about this (when it comes to this)/ I've got a bad feeling about this/ You kept still until the long drive home/ You slept safe and close to the window/ Well I've got a bad feeling about this/ I've got a bad feeling about... ~ "A Decade Under The Influence" - Taking Back Sunday

Your Bleeding Thoughts...

::THIS WAS POSTED ON MONDAY, BUT MY JOURNAL WOULDN'T LET ME PUBLISH ANY NEW POSTS UNTIL NOW::
Jim - Hopefully, tom. Anita will be able to hear the new song on my journal. It's "Triumph For My Magic Steel" by Rhapsody. A band from Italy. They are Symphonic Metal. I think Paige will think this a interesting genre of music. I love it. It combines 2 great genres: Classical and Metal.
If you think that this is interesting, check out Jazzcore (jazz and hardcore mixed). Very good as well Pin Pin Suger is a good example of that. Apocalyptica is a good example of metal and classical mixed... 4 cellists playing electric cellos... Good stuff. O'course, these are all European stuff, and hasn't really made it over here in America that well yet... yet alone Georgia...
Anyway... I suppose I should do a live overview

US History - Good... still learning a lot... very interesting, our country's history, it is...
Lit - Been okay... great since Mrs. Nimmons wasn't at school today
PE - Started aerobics bootcamp... I'm going to die... don't be surprised if I'm absent tom.
Music Theory - Happy as usual
Chorale - Still ranting about how Dunaway would make us sing Feller From Fortune... grr...
Algerbra 2 - I need to do my HW more... I'm slacking... I'll still make an A... but I need to do my HW anyway...
Musical Theatre - Got a performance Thursday and Friday... y'all better come
Chemistry - just like it's spelled Chem. is try... gotta keep trying to get it right... I hate math related science...

I had the WORST breath support today... I feel ashamed of myself...
I asked the AV department about mixers and they have quite a few... I'm sure I could borrow the potable one.. they have a MACKIE!!! top o' the line, yo!
The CD listing for Produce Aisle (My band.... I don't know what I'm gonna call the cd yet) is as follows:
1. "Just For Fun"
2. "With More Sorrows"
3. "They Don't Know The Half Of It"
4. "0-4 In Six Weeks"
5. "Your Friends"
I plan on adding at least 2 more songs... Who knows? This might turn into a full length!
I'm out... leave your nice messages... they're very much appreciated... makes me feel like someone actually reads this thing...
::Daily Lyrics:: - Left behind hateful thoughts, overwhelmed by your mind/ Lost in time again/ Shadows bringing me down, jealous of your face/ Drowning in your awe/ Although I can see, time is not running out/ I still run behind everything/ I don't understand, I embrace every thought/ Every word...everything ~ "Still" - Rufio
