Yesterday, I started thinking about Mitchell. He had firm beliefs, and he didn't back down because of what reprecussions might follow. Now he's dead. None of us expected it, but it seems like we've forgotten. I didn't know him as well as I would have liked. On the other hand, everyone who knew him wishes they could have known him better.

So, I have this problem: disillusionment with Drama. I've spent the past four years of my life doing Drama, working on every show (except one), and now I'm wondering what the hell I'm doing. Why am I dedicating my time to this? Is it that it used to be fun, and now it isn't? Or was it never fun to begin with, and I'm just an idiot for not ( Read more... )

So I finally got our Sheep Parade demos. I know it's only been three days, but I was really eager to get them. Anyway, they're better then I thought they were. Like I said before, I think I've definitely done the horn solos and vocals better. But, as much as I don't want to brag, I think they're actually pretty damn good. Especially ( Read more... )

So, yesterday we went and performed at Pageant. We took second (we lost to Sandia), and we got People's Choice, Best Brass and Best Percussion. Some people were disappointed, but I'm not. I'm thrilled. We're in division 4A this year, and it's the first time, I believe in the history of Pageant that we were in 4A (every other year we've been 3A ( Read more... )

So, this weekend kinda sucks. I've got too much homework to get done without anything else to do. Then, I have to dedicate somewhere around 18 hours of my time to marching band. We have a 2-hour rehearsal today and the homecoming game after that. I don't know why we have to march at the homecoming game, because it's the pre-game and no one will ( Read more... )

So I'm running for Homecoming court. It's just kinda for fun, I don't think I'm really serious about it. In fact, I don't think I'm even going to go to Homecoming if I don't get on court ( Read more... )

A few days ago, there was an assembly for seniors in which, among other things, Mr. Tabbish talked about suicide. He said that suicide happens because we don't tell the adults around us. He said that school shootings like Columbine happen because no one tells someone when they think it's going to happen. But I noticed that he never talked about ( Read more... )

I watched Serenity last night. Oh my god. I think it's officialy my favorite movie of all time. Of course, you have to watch the whole Firefly series first or otherwise you can't appreciate it fully. You don't get that feeling that's like "Oh my god, the crew of Serenity is in a full-length movie ( Read more... )

I've discovered my favorite song. It's called The Cure, and it's by The Non-Prophets (also known as just "Non-Prophets"). The Non-Prophets are basically just made up of Sage Francis (who has his own following) and his producer. I think The Cure is possibly the most amazing song I've ever heard ( Read more... )
