Another Jaded Monday...
This Is three parts written over the school day, just my jaded look at things around school, and rants of nothing
Time: 9:40

Sounds: Sinfonia No 4
So...
today has been wonderful, though I'm ill-prepared. I hope to email an english paper when I get home. As I said earlier i am very... hyper. My Thesis on the Great Gatsby being MIA must be a dissappointment to Miss Murphy, and I cant Imagine my clarinet missing also is much of an uplift to Mr. Silveira either. I'm suprisingly, pretty ...hmm almost oblivious to these said faults though.
I really wish I had my guitar with me, I've been learning In Bloom by Nirvana and I'm not quite there, and its just felt so much cooler to be actually learning a song. That is, opposed to the lame attempts I have made sporadically the past few years. I actually want to practice, am I okay? I mean, I practice to maintain my chops on the clarinet and sax, but i really want to turn on my amp and just sound like shit, so i can progress from that phase. Maybe If I do actually get good on it i could try playing some "simpler" Hendrix (The man was a GOD). But for now, simple grunge riffs have me taken, but i will play at least part of Purple Haze before I leave this prison-like school.
I've got to say, I think I know my attraction to the odd contraption. I dont and havent played a song that I dont like, or have any pressure to play for an occupation, It's just my whim that directs me. I like it. I think it offers the best way (contemporarily speaking) that I could express myself for the least dough. (hey, sheet music is expensive, but guitar tab is usually free online and stuff.) Plus, aside from that, you cant put an fx pedal on a clarinet or saxophone and totally augment their sounds. But,just compare for a moment a death metal riff, with all of its screams and trills to something more the speed of the intro to Little Miss Strange by hendrix, or even just simply a guitar and an amp, no effects included. Its totally otherworldly to be able to change the sound of a conventional instrument like that, but you can with an electric guitar. all those different things can come from 3 same old guitars plus or minus playing ability and a few effects
But off of th musical subject I'm still trying to find a job, I'm thinking Rumford Pet, but its about a half hours bike trip up. I hate to say it, but i am actually contemplating *gasp* working a shaws.It is just up the road from home, and I could start ASAP but i hate unions. My honest opinion, I do kinda see them like a gang that just all works at the same place. cause if you go against the union, youre in trouble. Idk, mayb Im taking things too seriously, cause I do need cash quicker to feed my addictions (surfing and Paintball). All i know for sure is i had better get apps in soon, cause all the summer help is leaving alot of places. I need to scrape cash together for my trip 11/17. lol I need cash for gas, a suit and some grub The only thing I know for fact I won't need green for is parking cash (free between Labor day and Memorial day) Then again... In 50-40 degree weather and water the same temperature most people stay away from the ocean around here that time of year.
Speaking of surfing, I wasnt able to get out there this weekend, but on the lighter side, only 52 days till i can drive my Beast all i want. I hope to get out to the soup more oft, and In different spots as well, so i can Add to my index of surf spots and shops. Ive got a grand total of 3 breaks and 3 shops in there (when there are more like 20 or so shops in RI, and numeous breaks to ride on the islands, and in the south county area. I want to see what this freakin state can offer me Cause I really don't want to go to Ca for a ride, and I know there are some great spots to ride I just need to get out, explore and most of all find them. It sort of sucks that there are no waves on Narragansett Ba, Il write more tonight, it seems were about to change classes...
...oh yeah im getting dirty looks tomorrow...

Disclaimer: this isnt aimed at any people, dont take it the wrong way, but just the concepts have me wierded out.
Ugh, this school is annoying sometimes,
Case in point - Youth Alive. Its confusing, and annoying first off, the very name, youth alive, as opposed to what? dead kids? I thought they were just all rigor-mortis-ey? Then just for thought, Its a club for Christians EP Is mainly Itallian, Portuguese, and Irish, almost everyone here is some form of christian, or their parents are christians. ( I was raised catholic,but i dont have a club for it...) And yet even more, doesnt it say in the bible that its against mass worship anyway? Idk, I sort-of understand the sentiment, but it does kinnda seem overboard-ish... if yeh think about it.
Ugh, I really wish this place was less institutionalized, Alot of the classes, and the builing itslf give you such a cold feel. It really is a hodge podge of just random classes strewn here and there. Morgan calls the colors "Communist Red" while the rest of the school is just shades of grey. Idk, if it werent for the vibrancy of the people here, I could see a comparison to The Ladd School very easily. I have to go though, one of the VPs (Piros) is ushering us back to the cattle call (more like ordering us evicted). I dont like the man too much, ah well, back to Portuguese , part III at the houseafter this all
...(eu gosto na classe no o Senor Borges's!)...

So, all in all, I guess today was pretty cool,
we went over food in Mr Borges's class (fun!0 and then I owned in tennis, the class after. Now the bus ride home was just odd. Two special ed (?) kids were smacking each other up all ride home. In a really guilty way, It was freakin hilarious, theyre just callin each other fat fuck amongst other things and hittin each other. Of course there was a stowway on the bus, a wasp about an inch and a half, so everyone freaked (this was a scary lookin bee, man) im just like squish it, and then my bro Guado (same from part 2) just punched the thing! the fookin bee exploded! i mean, there was this massive splat on the window, and i saw the upper sections shoot forward about 3 feet when he did. So after, the special ed kids started up again, and I could only watch, cause I am not one to break up fights (it wasnt really one, but these kids were getting angrier more and more) So, fter staring in mixed reactions guado and I took off, and kicked it to get za. and well, ive been here ever since now. Well, im gonna go shoot nick up in a game of airsoft. Peace out and much love bros.
