I dont think i like being sick... Actually i know i don't. Well, alright, so i'm not sick yet...but it's comin. Only a matter of time now... I hate it though, because you know those annoying people in class that are always blowing their noses or sniffing or coughing? Yeah, thats me this week. I cant hear, cant talk, and as horrible as this is gonna sound....I can't even swallow. To make things worse i shined 5 pairs of cymbals today...thats 10 cymbals, which means theres 20 sides for me to shine. I think i pulled something in my shoulder the other day, my right one of course, so i can't do anything useful. Since i'm of course right-handed i shined the cymbals with my right hand, so it hurts like a bitch now. To top off that wonderful experience a whiny little freshman bitched at me, saying she'd done more work than i had.... now sorry, i don't like to complain (disregard the fact that that's all i've done in this post) but for god's sake... To clean a marching drum you spray windex on it, and wipe it off. No real rubbing or anything required...you spray on the windex...and wipe it off....windex on....windex off...end of story. To clean a cymbal you take out the straps (annoying) spread the brass polish on it which smells to high heaven (i dont think my nostrils are never going to recover from a season of cleaning cymbals every friday), rub the stuff into the cymbal, then rub it off. I know that this sounds pretty simple, but trust me, it takes a lot more friggin effort than you think. Especially to do that 20 times...anything 20 times is annoying, but the point is, its a lot harder than it sounds/looks. I guess i should just let that kind of thing roll off my back, but when she STEPPED ON MY FRESHLY SHINED CYMBALS i kinda lost it. In my head of course... i dont think i've ever really lost it for real. But i thoroughly enjoyed imagining pounding her into the ground....repeatedly. ANyways, the rest of my day was shitty, though slightly better. So i'm just gonna shut up... i think i need a violent hobby...
