Update

So many words so little time.

Here its all is a few sentences.

Marching Band show is Heartbeat. Movement one Adrenaline Rush. Movement two Passionate Heart. Movement three Heart Attack. Typical show. First has a lot of chords. Seconds sounds nice and pretty. Third is freakin awesome. Eventually I will have a link to it or something.

I will most likely be playing clarinet instead of Tenor Saxophone. That makes me very sad. I'll get over it.

Today was Audrey birthday party. I went. Then went home and did yard work, and ended up being attacked by cockroaches, and hundred thousand ants.
Then I went ice skating.

I saw ASU lose to U of A at baseball. It was a good game U of A just decided to give their batters adrenaline shots so they could have quicker reflexes and throw dirt at the catchers. I still laughed when U of A's outfielders run into each other.

The device has been modified. That is all

Why are you here?

I'm a band geek. No denying it. I play Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Cymbals, and Tenor Saxophone. WIth learning how to play Quads.

But not all people are band geek like me. There is a fine line at my school between the good, the bad, and the show offs.

I am proudly to say I'm in the good portion, and I love it and want to Major in it. But when the bad meets the show offs you get an edgy situation

Ms. Flute leader (for now) Made that apparent to me today. It was a sectional during concert band.

Her show off(y) nature demoralizes people to the point of wanting to commit suicide. I thought they all exaggerated, I didn't care, I'm playing Bass Clarinet, quite far from her jurisdiction, but we had to combine sections today.
Ya guess who drew the shortest straw

Truth be told everything was all good in the hood. Her laugh made her cynical, and her saying girl to everyone, instead of using their name as in
"Hey girl."

Ya I already had the noose tied around my neck, only needed to kick the chair. But then she made a comment that made me want to trade in the rope for at the very least a very pointy object.

"You know, I love band and doing this. But I am doing this to make the band sound good. So if you don't like doing band, quit. I don't want you here. And if you suck, practice to get as good."

I was more shocked than angry. Ms. Conceded/crazy had no idea what happened. She thought she is Queen of the world. Only if she had saw all those dirty looks. I'm surprised that the Clarinet leader agreed with her.

Excuse me Misses but I thought we all learned this back when we were four but your supposed to think before you talk. We are a huge band. Not big enough to be split into two bands but still big. Next year when there is two bands then you could say that to people aren't practicing. We are now miced with people who are doing this just for the Fine Art credit, and apparently some are so sick of you that want quite.

So if the arm is sick do you cut off the body to make it better? No, you cut off the arm to make the body better. I think it is time I had a little chat with her about treating other people.

Or I could send her back to kindergarden. Which ever is easiest.

Lets act our age everyone

Today was senior ditchday or as the teachers call it Mommy-call-me-out-sick-so-I-don't-get-in-trouble-day. Or as I'm referring it to as the day barely any senior showed up and teachers got pissed.

News of this event hit the interweb a week or two ago. So the teachers knew. I didn't until today because my suppliers of all my tenor saxophone needs wasn't here. Some teachers didn't get. But there are those few that have their head up their butts and decided to retaliate.

1000 point quiz? Unholy projects? Excuse me but lets be rational.

Point A: They are seniors, in the last quarter of the school year. You would would be digging a ditch for their grades, because they didn't show up. For one day?

Point B: If you fail them for just a quarter nothing happens G.P.A take a dip but hardly any school looks at that anymore. and summer school or community colleges fixes that.

Point C: You are getting upset for missing a day of school and I remember correctly half the seniors have half days which are filled with electives.

Point D: NHS or more accurately Mrs. P. You specifically set it up for the seniors of NHS to come to every class room today and present the invitation to join to the people who made it. If they didn't show then they are forced out? That looks bad on transcripts and the like but all the hard work you force them through, they are in the home stretch with only 30 summething or other days to graduation and you would just take it away?

Well bravo to all the teachers out there who are pissed. Sure seniors need to learn actions have consequences. But lets face it. Its a tradition. That if I'm not mistaken teachers join in years ago too. If you are against it now you should have done it then. This was the only thing they accomplished. The admins busted up the shaving cream fight.

I can't wait for a senior prank day. Mrs. P won't be laughing then, but we all will

Giving it a shot

I got bored with this but I'd think I would educate you on the life and state of my lovely home.

Welcome home Honey. We are having disease for dinner.

Ya thats been the state for the past month. I'm being serious. Literally the past month. Cause a month ago we were in Georgia. For a family event....... With mommy dearest and Benben sick

No bueno seeing as everyone in my family managed to get when we got back.

Meanwhile in the Flaming abyss we call Arizona, life went on without me. Point is relationship type stuff.

Lots of texting and "Did he....? with.....? But she is with.....? WTF........"

Yes. WTF indeed. I came home to a flaming pile of crap that I called a relationship the last time I checked. It involves another couples and their break up that grabbed mine attention.

Ya grabbed is a nice word for it. Lots of I love you but like them sort of stuff. And coupleA composed of Man A and Woman A were living fine in pleasantville. CoupleB composed of Man B and Woman B went through a break up. Man A was drawn to Woman B because she is single.

And pretty. Very pretty. Likewise with Woman A and Man B. I know. Cluster F*** for the win

CoupleA is now in crisis ladies and gentlemen. Man B takes advantage of coupleA situation. And with Man A out of the picture for a family event the timing was perfect.

Man A not happy with Man B. or Woman A. Man A share thoughts with Woman B. Lots of hate and swearing between all four.

Man A being the Harbinger of peace and love comes home and shared the love. Everyone is fine happy and in there own relationships with CoupleA still together. Or is it?

Man B not happy with Woman B new boyfriend and wants to get back together. Too bad you effed up. Sooo next in line anybody? And lots of people were cause like I said she is pretty. Very pretty. Man B can suck it. And stop trying to mess things up.

Meanwhile. I'm in the process of acquiring a Tenor Saxophone. Everyone at the casa is slowly getting through sickness father is the latest to get it, with mommy dearest in the recovery ward.

Ya I get out of the house alot. For good measure. Thankfully drumline is over. 5th out 7th? Not good. But our third year competing in another division with a legit show for once? And with judges that didn't like us? Why not?

Marching Band is starting up soon. Time to practice harder. Gotta throw the queen out of her position of Woodwind Tyrant. Opps I mean captain.

Meh what's the difference? Besides if I fail there are six others in line.

Ya she is the hated. Ahh well.
