| so the snowball was supposed to be tonight. its like 60 degrees outside feels nice. no snow insight. got cancelled. lack of interest.
nothing happened this week. it was boring.
found a new band and finally checked out one id been meaning to.
the black keys. youve heard them but you dont know it. the x terra comercial that starts with a helicopter dropping someone off on top of the mountain. that is one of the songs. and panic!at the disco. fall out boy with a better beat. but its good. i like fall out boy too but...
i dont think anyone really uses xanga anymore or something is really screwed up with it. or no one likes me so they dont leave comments. not that i care. i promise.

| so i wanted to get you guys opinion on something.
so first, some set up.
in band (which already sucks enough) we have to pass off rudiments (small rhythms and stickings) during the six weeks. they tell us we can come in during prime time and pass them off. we can also do them in class. we have the whole six weeks to do them.
so i go to primetime in band on thursday (the last full day of the six weeks) to pass off my last two or something like that. they never leave their office. they sit in there the entire time talking to someone. theres several people not only from percussion but from regular band because they have to pass off scales for grades.
so thursday was stevens (another instructor that comes in) to work with us. he says that the directors will take us to the back room and listen to us play off our rudiments. but of course theres a catch because nothing is straight foward because "the man" hates us who ever "the man" may be. they say that you can play em off but the first time the you screw up or miss a beat you get a zero.
so jon goes back and plays off one and comes back. he rejoins the group and they just stand back in the corner near the door talking to each other and then they interupt. "steven, were not going to take any more grades because youre trying to put together an ensemble and to do that you need to have every part to do that."
now i can understand that to an extent. because theyre not gonna miss me when their cowbell player walks off to play a few rudiments which wont take two minutes. yeah, thats right. i play the cowbell because the directors hate me personally. they have too. and i bet i know why. and steven probably hates me too because i quit private lessons.
well when i say quit i mean stopped coming. i didnt tell him i just stopped going because i got nothing out of it and walked out knowing nothing more than when i walked in and 10 dollars lighter. gipped. i know.
so they say that and that just blows my mind. i stand there in the back shaking my head and muttering. steven asks me if i have something to say and so i say "YEAH, i do. you cant deny us grades. the people who had to pass off our remaining rudiments came in during primetime but they werent doing pass offs. so tell me how you can say that we cant pass off our rudiments when we came during the advertised times?" and he said ill talk to you after class. but of course i had no words for him after class.
i got out of that hell hole and went home. none of the percussionists were happy. personally i hope that one of the directors reads this and figures out that im going to one of the principals and if they wont listen i'll file a complaint at the school board. im not settling for zeros. the other people deserve them just as much as i do. i want my equal opertunity.
so tell me what you think about it.
but on a happier note heres some video and picture

| so i figured out that the comments last time sucked.
but thank you for the effort abra. always appreciated.
but im not a comment whore... i promise.
i like a new girl. going to ask her out tomorrow i think.
im quitting soccer and doing inline hockey for blackman instead.
because at the end of the day ill always pick hockey over soccer. because ive paid attention to it too long to play another sport when the option is there. ill be in net.
i bought a paintball gun this weekend. a piece of wal-mart crap. came with a mask and stuff. here it is.
if you break into my house, ill cap your ass. ive got three bullets in it. its cocked. all i have to do is grab the CO2.
i got shot once and shot a guy... maybe two. i dunno. dont care.
watched the super bowl last night. commercials kinda sucked. but... the game was alright. im a hockey guy. theres to much stopping. play the damn game.
enjoy the rest of the week.

whats wrong with comments? is it that no one is commenting or that something is wrong? and its been 500 days since i made this name.
