| hey, it's been a while and i 've gone on the band trip, i went back to school and i now have a girlfriend, but i'm gonna talk about those in the order that i mentioned. The band trip, i had a blast, as much drama that happened and as many people who said that the trip sucked, i loved it and i would most definatly have to say that it was my favorite trip which is good cuz as you all know, it is my senior year. Pigeon Forge was pretty boring just cuz it was like red-neck store central. John Deere, leather shops, the works. The town of gatlinberg was pretty fun though. There was a lot to do, a lot more then in pigeon forge, but still not my types of stores. A lot of arcades, and just random shops. I do have to say that i found the best music store that i ever been too. It had practically every cd in my case, some of which i thought were so undereground that i thought i would never find a real copy of. The adjudication was good even though the first time we ran through our opener, the entire thing feel apart, but we figured it all out. Afterwards i found out from ms. lorey that i was the only person in the band that was complimented by name which was something i was prety proud of, being complimented by a college music teacher. Dollywood was fun, making one of the worst decisions of my life with, choma, eugene, jen, justin, and nick by riding the raging rapids ride on a day barely over 50 degrees. i was the smart one and got off after 4 times, others going to 23. i got off and got to ride everything i wanted including the new ride which wasn't supposed to open for another week. The wooden coaster there is most defiantley on my top 10 list of wooden roller coasters. My only problem with any of the roller coasters was that they were way too short. 3 of the 4 were phenomenol but yet way too short, but i had fun. I don't think my days are in order cuz the day before dollywood we went into the smokey mountains and had a good time, it was really pretty. overall the trip was full of mischeif at the hotel in which we duct taped my sister to a chair and tried to leave her in the lobby.shopping, and just playing video games. but i had a really good time. Nothing major about school, just went back and got a b in calc and physics and a 97 in german, and the rest were a's. i was proud of that.well the momen i'm sure everyone has been waiting for, well on the trip, practically the entire trip which i am far complaining, i hung out with jen. we had a lot of fun together. on the bus ride home, we just mutually decided to get back together. I really happy about that the decision and i have nothing against it. Now i know some of you are thinking but wait you told me that you would never get back together with her, well i guess i lied, and i'm sorry. at the time when i told anyone that, i wasn't on very good terms with her, or i never ever thought at all that i would like her again. Others may say well, what about what she did to you before with greg? well we talked about it and she realized that she was very unhappy with him and that she felt terrible about the whole thing. not only that, but we have so much more in common now then we ever have or ive ever had with another person. All of the problems that we used to have, it seems time has gotten rid of those habits or we've grown to except them. No matter how things people could come up about my relationship with her before and how terrible it was, i'm really happy right now, and if you care about me that should be all that matters. So since my last entry, that's basically what has gone on, and i'm prety happy with everything that has happened. | | |
| Hey guys, obviously it's me, and i'm sorry it took so long for me to get back considering i just had this major thing go on 2 weekends ago. Well to answer the first question on your minds, Regionals went pretty well. i'm not going to states , i only got 2nd chair, but the kid who got first beat me by 10 points, which you all must admit sucks, but you take what you can get. I know that i said i would cry if i didn't get it, but i didn't, although slightly close. I was surprised that it didnt bug me as much as i thought. But here it is a little over a week later, and i already got the cd in the mail. I'm getting ready for everything thats going on...band trip. i have to be at the high school in about 10 hours...ish. I still need to pack half of my things, but i realized the last time i had to pack things, i set aside a whole bunch of time, and i was done in practically 5 minutes, so i'm not to worried about packing right now. Other then all of this, i really confused about everything. I just got a 12 out of 96 on a calc test, which i was kinda upset about, i know what some of you are saying,"welcome to my world" ok, i get it, i been told that so many times, i know, but it was just the fact that, yes it was a hard topic, but i really wasn't doing that bad in it, like i understood it, or at least i thought i did, but hopefully, i'll have some good chances to bring it up. There's not much that someone can do to me for me to stop being nice to them, or at least i think so. Someone would have to really piss me off and practically ruin my life for me to not do nice things for them. Also i'm glad to say that i really don't go off on rants about my ex-girlfriend to anyone. I don't go off and say all of these terrible things, which i'm sure if i thought hard and long enough, i'm sure i could come up with some sort of list, but to honest, even here 4 months later, there wasn't much that bothered me about her and even now, the one thing that does is that she does go off on rants about me and says that i hate her, and that i wouldn't do anything for her even though she is for me. that bothers me, i really don't try to be an asshole, but sometimes you have too. And to her,she could say, that in german class, i'm an asshole about her and that i just completely hate guts even though right now, i still feel kinda awkward just kinda talkin around people that i know, i'm sorry that's just how it is. Another thing i would like to point out is that in the halls at school, almost everytime i see her, i try to say something nice whether it be oh hey, or see you tomorrow, i never get anything back. ok i'm trying to be nice and nothing comes back. nonetheless, there was my one online rant about it, i know i said i barely do it, but i did it now.but i just wanted to tell her, that i don't hate her at all, i just feel strange still about the subject. Another thing, i hope she feels better, even though i can just tell her that later whenever we drop off abby, cuz she's watching her while we're on the band trip. ohh one last thing , happy birthday to the adam and dan shirer due to the fact i won't see them until next week and their birthdays tomorrow. | | |
| Regionals was supposed to start today. But here i am at home because it got reduced down to one day. Supposedly something drastic happened at new castle high school. nonetheless, i'm pretty upset about it. I worked so hard on the music to find out yesterday that three of the songs we had in our folders were not going to be in the audition...hint we're gonna play them at all.2 of the songs i wasn't really upset about, one was a death tune and the other was a compilation of a whole bunch of broadway hits. The third one i worked really hard to get it up to standards, i spent an entire day after school working on it with Zamperini to get it as perfect as i possibly could. The thing that sucks most about regionals is that we have to audition for seating and wheter or not we go to states, practice the music as a group and then have a concert on the same day. That is a lot to do. Another problem is the show is probably only gonna be 4 songs as opposed to 7 which will prolly cut the concert time in half. I really hope i make it to states. I've realized that when i go to college and i end up doing chemistry, this here is my last chance to really shine in music. And especially for the amount of time i worked on this music, yesterday was the first day i rode the bus home after school in almost 3 weeks. I want so much to move into the ranks of will guess and luke depner and go to states. I will prolly cry if i don't make it for as much effort i've put into it. and mary jo i really hated how you were just like well get over it today in german, right now this means the most to me, and i've been looking forward to getting away from home, meeting a new family and spending time with kids who love music just as much as i do if not more. I'm just really afraid that if i don't get states, i'll only have one day with really good musicians as opposed to 3. And that would be the end of challenging music for me. Well on a lighter note, i can't wait to meet up with the friends i made at districts...like julie. and as far as regionals, that's really it. Last night was our band/orchestra concert. i thought it was terrible. My mouth gave out about 3 songs before the end and i could barely play. I have a nice gash in my bottem lip which hurts like hell, and i'm really upset that even though i had almost 3-4 solos throughout the band concert, i didn't get any recognition for any of them. I really respect mr. Z mainly for how highly he thinks of me, but he doesn't give me nearly enough credit then i deserve not to be full of myself. Another thing i hate is how people compliment me of comedic things i do at concerts, like last night i had an alarm clock solo where i stood in front of the orchestra and played an alarm clock, you know just turned on the alarm. It was cool, i was fine with it, until after the band concert when everyone that said anything to me only said anything about the alarm clock, nothing about my saxophone playing. It really hurt. This year i put a lot of effort into my instrument to be the best in the band, some people say i am others say differently, but that was a goal that i wanted to achieve and all i get is wonderful alarm clock playing. Some people would say well, then why did you take the alarm clock solo? Well i thought it would be fun, i did have fun with it and i was the only one in the orchestra who was playing an actual part. but i want to be complimented on my real musical ability, something i feel will never happen at penn hills. And that's really upsetting, so if you read this before friday and see me, give a good luck or if you don't see me just kinda think it, and i hope i do the best i can. bis spaeter, which to the german challenged people means till later and for the people who know german, sorry that there is no umlaut. | | |
