| woah! pictures of me doing naughty stuff? thats pretty sweet, though i wonder how they got the pics :/ oh well, everyone should go to my previous post's comments and check out that link, im sure its pretty hot :)
im not sure how much more xanga-ing will be done... but for those who are interested, my band has a myspace. www.myspace.com/theknoblockers and a facebook group, The Knoblockers Rock! through which i'll be posting show dates and other announcements. keep in touch people, stay cool, stay in school, feel free to contribute to the buy-alex-a-new-badass-guitar-amp fund :)

| remember me? yeah, that guy who never posts. i find that i'm only in a
posting mood when there are things to be done that i really don't want
to do. yay!
grant and i cleaned our house yesterday. washed basically all of our
dishes (since we were out, even of silverware), cleaned the bathroom,
swept, mopped, vacuumed, windexed, the whole works. thanks to cassie
for her endearing support and psychology/picture fiddling on the couch
;). damn facebook, its so intriguing!
my computer parts finally came in. cassie helped me build a sweet
desktop. for those of you who care i got a 250 gig 7200 rpm hard drive,
a dvd-rw drive, a 256 mb nividia, an audigy 4 (mmm), a gig of ram, an
AMD 2.4, and a 19 inch flatscreen monitor. plus a bitchin case. yay
leds! i finally get to have a comp that's semi-modern. cool. taking it
in today to have it put together and installed and made ready to go.
rock.
i've been getting pretty good at crosswords lately. thank you, social
psych and personality classes! seriously, even in upper-division psych
i feel like i'm being lectured to as a child rather than someone with a
natural interest in psychology. bah. good thing im trying to get into
med school now, along w/ my psych degree, a french minor, a history
minor, and an honors college degree. next semester i get to take
physics and chemistry! hooray! lol whatever, im kind of ready for an
intellectual challenge rather than just a contest in how well i can
memorize terms. social psychology is retarded.
ska, on the other hand, is surprisingly fun. we've had a couple of
little shows, the most notable one being the one in wentz a few weeks
ago. there were about 50 people there, which was awesome. they were
into it too. too bad our vocalist doesn't know our songs, doesn't know
her own parts, and doesn't seem to make any attempt to learn either. i
mean seriously, she's been "our vocalist" for how many weeks now? and
she knows how many songs? one, i think. wait, two. cmon, either learn
the songs or don't be a vocalist. if you don't have the ability to
learn/make up vocal parts or the willingness to throw your lot in with
the rest of the musicians, don't be a vocalist. i'm not trying to be a
dick; i just want our band to be good. the vocals just aren't up to
speed. the music sounds SO GOOD! just the vocals, not so much. better
parts, more confidence needed. the potential of this thing is so high.
cassie is amazing. seriously. i feel quite blessed to not only have a
chance with a girl like her, but also to have her like me as much as
she does. i'm very lucky. she's ideal.
but damn these allergies to hell! i feel like my head is in a vise. vice. viise. vize. h4x0r.
i'm looking forward to living with brad next year. i'm really going to
have to step up my academic game, though. harder classes, better
grades, more out of school activities, i gotta look good for those med
school applicant review boards!

| ahh, disappointment.
our newly-acquired ska singer has been AWOL for like a week now. who
knows where he is or whats happened to him? surely he isn't skipping
class just to avoid talking to ryan, our trumpet player. bah. what
really sucks is that the show we scheduled for this friday will have to
be postponed while we figure this all out. long story short though,
we'll be trying out a new singer this friday, see if he likes whats
going on and all. he's a metal guitarist and said that he'll want some
solos and stuff, which is fine. i did enjoy being the only guitarist,
not only playing my parts well but filling in gaps and everything.
being a player, adapting to whats going on. however, i've been
analyzing guitar parts for the past six years, so i feel pretty ready
to take on a partner, especially one that i can identify with. i can
riff, i can shred rhythm guitar. even if its just him playing the
louder parts with me. or little solos, harmonization, whatever. if he
gives our band a more metal edge, i am not opposed. i like to rock. and
i like variety. whatever happens, it'll be fun, as long as he doesn't
try to take my place. that wont happen though.
our trombones were also two hours late to practice. bastards.
so the show has been rescheduled for the 24th. everyone should come,
it's a block party, there will be other bands, and all sorts of good
stuff. it should be a really cool event, even if you dont like ska.
hell i dont like ska itself all that much, but its a good time. ill
keep yall posted. hehe. yall.
i hope i dont have a test in personality tomorrow.
i loooooooove cassie!

| osu is starting to bug me. im tired of incompetant professors. its like
they're knowledgeable but when they lecture its so boring and bland and
"tell me somethign i dont know." like my social psych class, the guy
knows alot, but he never explains why about anything. the only thing he
does is relate certain definitions to the courtroom. and social psych
itself is retarded, it basically just assigns names to certain
behaviors. who cares? everybody knows that everybody does these things,
lets concentrate on something a little, i dont know, meaningful?
there's so much out there in the realm of the mind and these people
waste their time with "this is called this. yay im a social
psychologist." speaking of, i need to make up some bs for my
naturalistic observation that's due tomorrow. cmon, i'm not going to
eavesdrop on twelve people's conversations to see if they curse and in
what context they're cursing. thats unethical and creepy.
i dont even want to talk about my personality professor. hehe
i have a saxophone lesson at 5. bah. missal is requiring every member
of symphonic band to take lessons this year. i wish he would just
ENCOURAGE them. i mean i know he just wants to make everyone badass,
which is great and easily obtainable, but saxophone isn't my main
instrument, you know? i care about saxophone AFTER guitar, bass, and
piano. i dont really care to further my abilities on saxophone. and as
long as i can keep up with symphonic band- which i can, minus that one
impossible part- eh, whatever.
ska is cool. hehe
