Reel Big Fish once told me, long ago, in about 2005, on an album called We're Not Happy Until You're Not Happy, Don't start a band. As Reel Big Fish also once said, Fuck Off. I managed to con Mr. I-Hate-My-Life to be in a band with me. Can anyone else say fuck yes? He's the only goddamn person I know who can play guitar any good. It's pretty cool. I'm compiling a list of songs for Sasuke to learn so he'll be totally comfortable with strings by the fuckin' time we're making our own shit.
Oh, and a guy today after school. Shikamaru. Pretty cool. He's really chill. I can't relate. But he asked for my AIM or whatever so he can't want me to die too much. Make friends every day, I guess?
And unrelated, but lulz. I actually checked to see how I was doing in the classes I never go to today? Holy fucking crap I am made of awesome. This whole "Not-Sleeping" shit is sweet. Like, my little "strategy" is to not go to the class except on test days, do whatever I want doing that hour, teach myself the shit when I can't sleep the night before, and then get perfect scores on the tests. And disturbingly enough, that's actually worked. I've got a fuckin' B or an A in everything. I would have done a helluva lot better last year if I did this, dear god.
Ugh, back hurts. I've been sitting up too goddamn long.
EDIT: Sasuke, good bands to learn guitar from include:
Dragonforce, Killswitch Engage, Slipknot, The Clash, Avenged Sevenfold, 12012, Less Than Jake, Dir en Grey, Korn, Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, System of a Down, A Pefect Circle, Reel Big Fish, Drowning Pool, Kittie, HIM, 10 Years, Cradle of Filth, Marilyn Manson, and MUCC.
Honestly, I *hate* some of those bands, but they are good instructional tools. Just start with those. When you've conquered them, then I think you'll be good.
