Thursday, took my global studies exam... piece of cake. I'll get that grade on Monday.
Friday, took my algebra 2 exam... piece of cake. I'll get that grade on Monday.

Hot Damn. Day 1 of Tuition Fest was great. Not as many people as I had hoped/expected for, but nevertheless it was a fun show. We played second, and that probably was one of our best shows. We got lots and lots of positive feedback. Thank you Brad for the show, you are the Messiah of Pirates. We played 4 songs: 1. The Instrumental/First Song 2. Penis 3. Nokia Homicide & 4. The Tribute to Thurgood Jenkins. I sweated my ass off playing so that was cool. I've always wanted to sweat my ass off after playing so that's cool. Thank you Nick, Austin, Joesam, Paul, and Brenton for coming.

Burns Out Bright - first time seeing them since Miranda show at Warehouse over a year ago. They were very good.
Paulson - THose guys rocked out. They had a keyboardist and he was doing all these cool effects. Was rad. It's always good to catch a band that is so different from everyone else. B/c the difference and their sound makes everything. It causes you to get hooked to them and what not.
Outsmarting Simon - This band is one of the best bands around I swear. 2nd time seeing these guys, and it was fun. Especially since I knew the lyrics so I sang along.
Idea of Beauty - my first time seeing these guys, and I was blown away.
Albert React - Wow. Third time seeing them and each time get's better. Amazing band and awesome guys. I'm so glad they played. I got to hang out and talk with them before and after the show. Like I said, Amazing band, and awesome guys. Extremely talented.
No waffle house after the show, but jamie, jordan, jamie, tyler, gordon, and i went to checkers. That was a fun ride home.

I have to say, every band we play with, they inspire me so much. To see everything they do. To hear of all they go through. Bands touring nonstop, playing their hearts out, and hangin out with kids before and after the shows. That is what it's all about, and that's what inspires me so much. Burns Out Bright was a last minute band for day 1, and then they drove back to Columbia to play another show. That really shows something in that band. Outsmarting Simon were really cool guys as well and rocked out. Albert React. Albert React. where to begin. They drove all the way from Cleveland to play this show. Thats a 14 hour drive. They were exhausted. Nevertheless, they played a hell of a show. They gave it all they got. Matt, Jamie, Andrew, Jeremy, and Gabe all were amazing guys. That's a real band right there. They play for their fans. That's one of the best things a band can do.
I'm really thankful to be in a band playing with such extremely talented bands. I'm thankful for being in a band with guys who work so hard and are easy to get along with. I love my bandmates.

Last night, officially started working. Worked from 5:02-11:28. Got home, passed out. and Here I am.
