So I fell asleep during the Humanities exam. It was that easy. Considering we were allowed to bring a few notes, I will be at no surprise if I absolutely aced it. Great course and totally mellow teacher overall. I worked with SpringMasters for the first time yesterday, just to give it a shot and boy was I flushed. Fucking 9Am-9PM shift. I realize it's all commission too, the work is easy but a good workout and yet if you don't do at least 10 houses a day, it simply isn't worth the fucking time and money. Perhaps I'll return there for a whole week and see how it goes. Definitely a short term summer occupation at most.
After much convincing and due to the fact they cannot enter Canada, I attended the NILE show in NYC late March. They have something many mundane, bland death metal acts lack today. Creativity, diversity, real heaviness (IE capable of playing slow) and melody. They are THE death metal band for the 00's and many of you folks are aware I am not a fan of the genre. Had a great time all in all! All accomodations paid for (friends uncle lives in the Bronx, which we wandered around 3am at night - yuh huh, crazy or do we have BALLS? haha), met some nice ladies who bought me alcohol, met some fellow metalheads/Polacks, hit the metal scene, went to Duffs Brooklyn (Type O's bar) and atop it all, met the whole fucking band! Some awesome sexy pics for anyone who wishes to have a glimmer at:P
As for shows, the Spring, Summer and Fall are shaping up nicely already!
April - Paganfest
May - Ministry, The Verve, Tyrants Blood, George Thorogood, Danko Jones
June - Type O Negative in NY
August - Motley Crue, Peste Noire (hopefully)
October - Alice Cooper, Amorphis and Samael
This final paper on NS Metal awaits me tonight and then tis only that dreaded Shakespeare exam next week! Otherwise, Wade is leaving York and helped me with this registrar BS today, have to get a few things figured out in the next week. Apparently I took a 9.0 credit, switched without making it "official" by Yorks standards and now I can settle for the grade I have under the 6.0, or fill out a shitload of papers, obtain approval from some board and possibly pay a few extra $. Hmmm...
Still have to figure out the final course for summer school as well. I want it to be over already and perhaps I will keep bitching until they squeeze me in there.
After some late night internet research my father stumbled across some revealing, startling information. So that new suzuki he bought over Easter in anticipation of "Showing off" a flashy new car (b/c that's what most Polak simpletons do) apparently has been in TWO crashes spawning over 15 grande in damages since 2006. Now THAT's a fucking major issue considering the mileage is uber low and we thought the thing was practically brand new. This is according to the Car Proof site which allows a history/backround check for any vehicle provided its make number. Now why the fuck didn't he do this PRIOR to purchase? God. What a decision maker, quick and easy, one must question the nature of things I.E Why this pricing, Why it's this low and so forth. You learn more from others mistakes as I always say and now he feels this fuckin Paki dealership has screwed him. I say we wait a year or 2, see what happens, if any problems arise (knock on wood) and sell that fucking deathbox. I was obviously too busy with school at the time of purchase/searching and hopefully we don't feel any unfortunate repurcussions from an untimely, unwisely thought out decision. I'd be much more comfortable in an accident-free ten year old shitbox from Honda or Toyota anyways. Probably the best Japs for your buck and gas anyways.
The search for the missing 4th member is still on. As a trio we have grown tight and new material is nearly done/selected for the record. Frankly, we don't need a 4th person for the recording but we do need someone to pay rent and perform live haha. Some nights I just feel so disconnected from the other dudes. Musically all can be well but ideologically it's as if we're not even in the same fucking library, let alone a page or book! That must be changed to a degree before a single note is even recorded.
The other Saturday Mike and I headed to our local after jam bar (which happens to have karaoke), I ended up doing a George song and the ladies came swarming, one even recorded me and took us back to some friends garage studio at 4 in the morning and, well, some old habits of mine kicked in upon free offering. No details required. Mike is so fucking concerned about me being single, thinking I need someone when in fact he's the one spending more time and effort looking for a woman while apparently he's perfectly fine in his own relationship. I barely made an effort with anyone that night (I don't need to mwahaha) and he just kept fucking pushing it for some reason. Somehow I ended up with her number and she ended up calling Mike back the following week WHILE he was with his girl. Wtf? We'll see, once school is out of the way and I'm bored one evening maybe I'll call her up and see what unfolds into the wee hours.
The only thing that is keeping me alive is killing me.
