First F Game

You think you can handle it. Do ya, do ya, do ya? I reserve all comments and judgements until after the game. If I don't make us look like idiots, I consider it a job well done. Pride, Trust, Respect, no sex.

B vs. J

So, John Tucker Must Die, despite having the girl who played the drum major in American Pie: Band Camp, was pretty bad. That guy who plays John Tucker should stick to non-speaking parts. Certain gems could be scrounged out of the dialogue however. "Slut in truck!"

However, Accepted may be the best shallow-teen-comedy-with average-box-office- sales of the summer. Shockingly witty dialogue, and a non-disgusting performance from the overweight loser friend. He even gets the girl with minimal embarrasement, not to mention a mentioning of Jazz trombone. Despite its cast of unknowns, the ensemble performance was surprisingly on the mark. I loved it.

Now, for Little Miss Sunshine, what more can be said about a revolting little girl who gets to compete in a state beauty pageant and must be driven from New Mexico to California in a yellow VW bus (with clutch problems) with her gay uncle, overbearingly positive father, mute (temporarily) brother, dirty old grandfather, and pushover of a mother; all the while encountering heartache, death, peer pressure, failure, anger, sadness, illegal activity, contemptful people, and ultimately finding yourself. Magic. One of those "quiet" movies that has a very realistic feel to it. Despite the inhumane treatment of the beauty pageant girls, it was original and terribly funny.

Jupiter might be rising in my 5th house!

After much trial and other type hardships, we have succeeded in getting someone to join band late. My favoritestestest color guard member from pierce. Its exciting to get someone new; it brings the novelty back to band and gets me excited again. I hope she can do a solo in the Prod. #, plus I hope we can get together so I can learn guard.
I finally had a very brief conducting lesson w/ the R. Hopefully I'll get better. To the band: I'm sorry I suck, its like being a freshman all over again :-)
Still can't pick a college, but I really like how they make us tirelessly research and compare.
I am toying with making a major lifestyle change, but can't decide if it's the right time...

This is great, now I can get hepatitis

so basically, lunch sucks. There are too few band kids to claim a table, and apparently, its not cool to sit with your friends anymore. When the phalanx of freshmen come and shove you out, you feel pretty crappy as a senior. I just take solace in the fact that there is only one year left, and we've just made it through the last first week of high school

Subsitance

School is crawling by, and my double life as a white, jamaican rapper is starting to get to me. I feel like I'm just doing what I have to for to get by. I think I'm ready to graduate...and its the 3rd day back.
