Yep, so I'm trying to update more consistantly... ha, right. Today was alright, I suppose. It was really warm all day which blew but other than that, it was alright. During Personal Dynamics Bryan Henry and I asked Mr. Knight if we could use the restroom and left for about 30 minutes and went to the library to watch Billy Corgan's first solo performance at the Metro online. It's so bad ass; it was done this past Monday and he recorded his whole set and is putting out a DVD soon, apparently. I'm so stoked! The song was pretty good, I loved the adrenaline flowing through my veins as I watched him get up on stage and set everything up. He finger-picked this really good acoustic song that was about Chicago. Apparently all of them are based off Chicago. Anyways, it was really good... kind of different from other Corgan stuff but he played like 12 or so original songs of his that night; only one is on the site. You can check it out at www.billy-corgan.com and it's somewhere around there. I think theres a link to NBC.com where it is or something. Anyways, yeah, totally awesome; check it out.
So far the week has been alright. I've been doing somewhat better in Chemistry which is pretty good... but I'm not really sure yet. We have a test tomorrow and I'm hoping I do well. We'll see. Mrs. Stoltz has been really patient with me and ended up passing me last 6 weeks out of pure kindness and sympathy. I don't really think I deserve it at all but, I dunno. No complaints. We've been reading Catcher In The Rye in English which is really rad. I love this book a whole lot. I'm probably going to finish it tonight. I know a lot of people say they can relate to Holden Caufield but I think it's kind of funny, considering I find some of them I find to be one of the most phony, hypocritical people I've ever met (keeping the scene alive my ass!). There a lot of things Holden describes in the book that just kinda make me think I'm like that too. Like how he finds so many little silly things depressing and I think that about silly stuff too. Like going to fast food restauants and stuff. I always notice middle aged men working at shitty fast food places and it makes me sad just to think that's probably the best job they can get. Or just seeing the ignorance of people when I worked at Marble Slab. It's really depressing. It's also kind of depressing talking about the book in class because so many people are really dumb. To be quite honest, I think it's kind of ironic that this book is taught at Kingwood High School. A lot of the kids don't seem to comprehend it. I like Bobby Rinnan and all but I asked him if he likes the book he said, "It's alright, I guess. He seems to have a lot of issues, though!" The thing is, maybe it's just me, but his character seems kind of normal to me. Well, not normal... but I guess everyone has problems, obviously he does, but I dunno. I still haven't finished the book so we'll see, ha. Anyways, Mr. Starky is leaving next Friday which totally sucks. He's been one of the raddest teachers I've ever had and he only taught for like 3 weeks. I really wish he'd teach us the book instead of Mrs. Finley 'cause he did an excellent job of The Great Gatsby. He asked me how the show went on Friday... what a guy. I invited him but he didn't show up, he said he was debating it but he thought it might be kind of weird for me to have his english teacher hanging out, ha. I think he's rad. I'm a creep...
420 is such a stupid, ridiculous celebration. I don't condone people who smoke or anything at all but it just seems really fucking stupid dedicate a day to it. I don't think people would be having a good time if we had like National Methamphetemine Day or something. Man, wouldn't that be awesome?!
I got the new Alkaline split thanks to Lucy. It's alright. Theres only about 3 songs that I like out of 5 originals and one cover. Sadie is totally awesome, totally totally totally. Fine Without You kind of goes back to just singing about girls, which is what they're best at, I think; instead of the whole "vampires eating my flesh from the deepest pit of my soul" kind of stuff. I mean, I like Good Mourning and all, just the drinking and girls songs are better. Whateveeeeeeeever.
I'm looking for a job, for real this time. Any tips?
