The Breakdown:

So.. I have all but deserted this... This is the official nail in the coffin.

Things have been busy, but at the same time pretty quiet. Most importantly is the show tomorrow night at the Generator with Social Code, Theset, Karadelle and MEDIA. If everyone who says they are going goes it will be awesome. And if not, I will still be there to enjoy the other bands. 

Classes are pretty boring still. Everything seems sort of basic. I'm not used to having courses taught at a first year level. Nor am I used to classes of the size I'm in now. I just hope that I don't get complacent in my classes and slack off, because this semester should really be a GPA booster for me. 

Now I can not think of anything else I wanted to write about so I will end it akwardly here...

Horray. The first day of class. The halls were packed as expected. I must say there are a lot of freaking hot enthusiastic girls who are eager for schoolwork. Yes. I'm not checking out the first year girls at all... Er... Uh... Anyway, aside from girls everywhere, I had class. University isn't all fun and games, you know. And my class was definitely not fun... Tomorrow's classes should be much more entertaining. 

Had another band practice. We are gearing up for a the show next Tuesday at the Generator. Excitement has not begun to set in yet. It never does until the day of the show. Then I am nervous as hell right up until I hit that first note, then all the nervousness goes away and it's time to rock out. ROCK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything is starting up again now, too. I'm coordinating at CFUR starting this Friday ever Friday night (my show is at 5), club stuff is starting up, classes, obviously, all kinds of band opportunities. My life is going to be busy, and it's going to be awesometacular. All I need now is a girl whom I can ignore due to my lack of time, and occasionally have sex with. 

Well. I finally decided to update again. I tend to go in long spurts without updating. There hasn't really been too much going on that is overly newsworthy. I'm not going to try to catch up on what all has been happening. Instead I will attempt to post entries from this date forward, and we will see how long it lasts.

I have been unmotivated in updating, although much has happened since the time of my last update.

My band played three shows in 8 days, one of which was in Vanderhoof. All three shows went well, although none recieved a very large turnout. We didn't get paid for any and actually lost money on the third show, because we were the ones organizing it. It's sort of depressing that we can't get people to come out to the shows. I don't really know how to convince people to come. My friends came up big, though, as a large portion of the crowd for the show we put on was made up of them. So my thanks to them. And despite not making money, we had a blast. Performing live is an awesome experience! Plus we made some friends with some other bands, and I think made some new fans. If you get a chance, check out www.myspace.com/thefebruarys. Their sound was amazing and they were really really nice guys. If they come through town again I would highly recommend seeing them.

We also have two more shows coming up. One is happening next Friday night, May 19th, and the other is on June 6th. The 19th show will be interesting, as we will only have a few days to practice to get back into stage-shape, as my brother is in Mexico right now (bastard). Plus we are short one guitarist right now as Nik is in Quebec for school. The show on the 6th is going to be awesome, though. We're going to be playing with Theset, who are an amazing punk band. www.thesetistruth.com has their full album on their website. I believe Mike is also entering into Folkquest, although I will sadly not be able to watch as I'm working that evening.

I'm back at work now. It doesn't really feel like I've left. I'm working as a summer student at Prince George Pulp & Paper, in the steam plant. It's a great job for the summer, and I get along well with my crew. And best of all, pay day is on Wednesday (although I don't get to spend it until Thursday night). Then I can pay off most of my credit card, buy the dvd's and CDs I want, and start getting on with my summer!  

I watched M:I 3. Much as I dislike the personal exploits of Tom 'Wackjob' Cruise, he made one hell of a movie. It was very entertaining, and I was impressed. Now I have the Da Vinci Code (which I'm currently 2/3 of the way through reading) and X-Men 3 to look forward to. 

So, I'm sort of a dick. I hurt this girl (emotionally not physically) and I feel bad about it. It wasn't intentional. I think that she has forgiven me. In any event, she will probably read this at some point, so I'm sorry again :D.

kthxbye.

Well, thanks to a some TA money back thing that I really am foggy on the details about, I recieved enough money to make my credit card payment and put gasoline in my vehicle, as well as get a few neccesities. This has relieved a great deal of stress from me. Now it's time to rock out tomorrow evening!!

I don't think my brother quite realizes how badly him borrowing all that money from me has screwed me over. Never again am I loaning him money. And once he starts to get money inflowing I'm not allowing him to buy anything until he pays me back. It has really stressed me out during my 'relaxation' time. The time after I finish my exams and start working at that mill, that 2-3 weeks in April is supposed to be my 'do nothing, hang out with my friends, relax, spend some money I've had saved up' time. Instead it's my 'sorry I can't go out because I don't have any money to do anything', or 'sorry credit card company, I don't have any money to give you' time. Plus the price of gas is disgusting... I had been in a good mood until just tonight. Now I'm getting stressed out... Our band's shows have gone well, although both have had small turnouts. I'm hoping that the show we're organizing for Saturday brings more people out. I'm just hoping that friends who say 'yeah, I'll definitely be there' will show up this time. I have a small group of friends who really support me in my band, and I appreciate it more than they know, and normally I wouldn't be forcing anyone to come, but we just really need to make sure these bands get paid, and I have no idea how to get the word out to more people.... We shall see how it goes.

So apparantly I cannot be left unnatended in HMV... We were cruising around the mall, and went into HMV for a sec, and I tell my friends "it's hard for me to be in HMV because I always want to buy something". They start looking at movies and I start walking around on my own. They said they turned around for a minute and turned around and I had already bought a cd and was shaking my head telling them 'see, I told you I always have to buy something'. I really couldn't afford to buy the cd, but it was a CD I wanted, and it was on sale (as it was new). .moneen.'s new CD. It is good, and plus is useful for my radio show. Anyway, that is what happens when you leave me in a music store unnatended...

We had our first out of town show last night. It went pretty well I think. It was hard being the only rock band at a punk show, but people didn't dislike us, or tell us to get off the stage. My bass amp sounded good, too, so that made me happy :D. The other bands were also very rockin, so all in all it was a much enjoyable show. Would have been nice to have a bit larger of a crowd, but I wasn't the one organizng the show so I don't mind. Next up is our show on Monday. Hopefully this will draw a fair sized crowd. I'm also feeling much better today. I think the sun has rejuvinated me Super-Man style. By the way, Super-Man is a huge knob... But that is beside the point...

I don't know why I kept thinking that I had an A- in my Statistical Mechanics course... Anyway, I got my final grades back: A, A-, B- and C-. All in all I keep my GPA at a consistant and very average 3.00. Not good, but not bad. Hopefully next year I'll be able to raise it up a bit.
