Shit

Shit shit shit. My glasses just broke. Shit.

Party

So Christmas was fun...I got a bunch of cool stuff. Nothing big, but I didn't ask for anything big, so I'm happy. Tonight I went to see "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat" with my family at the Media Theatre...the tickets were a Christmas gift from my dad. It was pretty good. One of the brothers was awesome...I think his name was Ari Butler, and he was hilarious. When he first came on stage, he was just really reserved and sedate looking, and I almost thought he was drunk at first, then I just realized thats how he was acting. It was amazing. He reminded me of John Belushi, who was a genius.

Breaks been fun so far, but kinda not break-ish...I've had family stuff to do every day so far, so I haven't gotten to hang out with any of my friends yet. But if anyone wants to hang out before break ends, or just like, ever, let me know. Chances are I'll be free lol

Peace.

Jamming last night was fun. But nobody informed me today was "National Be A Jackass Day". This is how most of my conversations were today -

Me: Hey, what's up?
Other Person: Piss off. Why haven't you killed yourself yet? You ruin everything, I hate you.

Yeah. Needless to say, I was done with dealing with people by the time 4th block ended, so I skipped Camerata...now I'm trying to make plans for tonight, but Karl basically told me he didn't want to hang out with me, in so many words, so yeah...I'll probably just end up alone tonight, doing nothing. w00t.

P.S. Sorry about the ads on my page now, but Google said that if I put them on there, I can get paid, which is awesome.

Cissy Strut

So its raining outside, the one day I want to walk home quick in order to get my homework done. I'm going over to Mark's in a bit to jam for a while, which is going to be a nice break from life. School is...eh. I'm doing good in all of my classes, except for Latin, which I have like, a D in or something. It sucks.
Me and my family might have to start family therapy soon, because my mom is beginning to drive me and my dad crazy. She never leaves work, as my dad puts it, so she acts like she's dealing with pre-schoolers all day. And she keeps babying me and not letting me grow up. For example, last night we went to Wendy's before going to get our Christmas Tree. I decided I wanted to get a large #1, which is just a regular burger. She proceeded to tell me that I should think about if I wanted the large or not, because it was going to be a lot of food. Duh mom. Thats why I want the large - I was hungry. Then she asked me like, 4 times what I wanted on my burger, so she could tell the people, after I had already ordered, and gotten what I wanted on my burger. Yeah, its fun...not.
In good news, jazz band started on Tuesday night. Its gonna be a fun year, even though I blew my audition and got 3rd chair in the Silver Band (which I was 1st chair in last year). Le sigh. I'll have fun, though. Maybe I can get Sam to let me use his trigger trombone so I can try playing Jimmy Reese's bass trombone parts...that could be fun.

In conclusion, jazz is awesome, funk is awesome, school is lame, my family is fucked up.

Words

Sometimes, I can only express my feelings through the use of song lyrics. Right now, the two best songs that describe my feelings are both by a man who is a genius, named Stephen Stills. I will post the two song lyrics next, and while the lyrics are amazing, the music is what makes me stop in my tracks and just listen in awe.

"Sit Down, I think I Love You" - performed by Buffalo Springfield

Sit down I think I love you
Anyway I'd like to try
I can't stop thinking of you
If you go I'll know I cry

Can't you see that I'm a desperate man
I can hide, just being around
You want to know
What they say about the bird in my hand
And that's why I ain't leaving without you

So if you want someone to love you
Pretty babe I'm your guy
It's not much I'm asking of you
Just please give me a try

"49 Bye-Byes" - Crosby, Stills, & Nash

49 reasons all in a line.
All of them good ones...
All of them lies.
Driftin' with my lady
we're oldest of friends.
Need a little work, and there's fences to mend.
Steady girl, be my world.
Till the drifter come, now she's gone.
I let that man play his hand.
I let them go, how was I to know?
I'm down on my knees.
Nobody left to please.
On my knees,
Feeling wrong.
Mama's gone
Bye bye baby
Write if you think of it maybe
Know I love you
Go if it means that much to you
But you can run babe
If the feeling's wrong
Before too long it's crazy
And you're trapped babe
And you know that's not where it's at babe
You're just seein' things through a cat's eye, baby.
That's not my old lady
Come on and tell me baby
Who do you love?
Time will tell us
Who is trying to sell us
Bye bye baby
Write if you think of it maybe.
Hey but you can run baby.
If the feeling's wrong, before too long, it's crazy.
And you'll try babe, and you'll know that's not
where' it's at now, baby.
You're just seein' things through a cat's eye, baby.

That's not my ol' lady.
Come on and tell me baby.
You better tell me baby.
Who do you, who do you love?
