Another day in the life of......me
Well actually it's more like another few weeks in the life of me but oh well. So far school is going well, I'm not failing anything...yet. Hoping to pass music history this time, although my teacher seems to have it in for everyone in her class by making her tests so friggin vague. But hey, I'm not gonna dwell on it. Jazz band is goin great so far, we're starting some more difficult charts which is a nice change. I think Dave thinks we can handle some harder repetoire. Lessons have been going well, he hasn't blown up on me which is a good thing I think I'm really making progress as far as the technical side of trumpet playing goes. I can definately sight read a hell of a lot better than I could last year and my high playing is getting much louder and in control so I'm happy. But enough about school, lets see if I can think of stuff that actually matters to you few ppl who read this. I recently saw Team America World Police and let me tell you it is the funniest movie that I've seen since Baseketball which is another Trey Parker/Matt Stone movie. If you don't know, these 2 guys created south park and also make movies every once in a while and this one is hilarious! Definately see it if you get a chance you won't regret it. Another Parade of Champions recently passed and it was really friggin weird to be among the thousands of band ppl in the audience instead of on the field wowing them. To those of you who are in the MRD's who read this, awesome job! Everything sounded awesome and despite the cold weather you guys were in tune and tight. The trumpet section had a pre-kegoff.....kegoff party on friday night. Everyone I could see was drinkin like champs and I don't think the drummers have a chance this year :). Later on in the night though some guy who lived in the apartment got all bitchy b/c someone took 1 bottle of beer out of the fridge. And I'm sorry, but if you're throwing a party, you hide your personal shit so that random ppl don't drink it. The rules for parties is, if you can reach it you can drink it. Well, I don't know if thats an official rule but thats my view of it. Anyways he got all bitchy about it and to make a long story short lots of drunk people were trying to start some shit and thank god nothing happened because I'd hate to have seen a fight break out over one bottle of beer. Saturday night there was a party in the mill which is always good for me because I don't have to worry about gettin a ride home. So basically I got real drunk and real happy and everyone was having a good time, despite the fact that they ran out of beer at like 12:30 which was a let down. But I had had my fill of jungle juice, beer, and jello shots to last me the night. Well, that about sums up the events of the past few weeks and I'll try to update this more often...............even though I always say that......................every time I post....................on this journal..............each few weeks......................pause........................I don't know if this is funny or not.....................but it makes my post look bigger......................schalawag
