My computer blows... I just restarted it again, and I think it's working now. Time for some music theory homework. Yeah.. I gotta figure out how to work these grid thingys :)
P.S. I love it when my roomy like to kill things really loudly. You know what I mean... SF...

yeah... so my band, Made in Suburbia played out again tonight at the Cave (Carlton College) The stage was pretty coxy, and people could actually see me since I wasn't in the shadows like the last time. I still have this issue with being one of those bass players that stares off into bloody space. My old band said, "smile some more," and I've done that. I guess I just need to get into the music a bit more, and actually look like I'm having fun instead of being philosophical. Maybe I'm turning into James. He's a cool guy, but I'm afraid I'm going to start overanalyzing everything like my dad. Maybe that's not so bad, but I should do it on my own time, and not while I'm on stage. It was a great gig though. Anytime we can play a gig without knowledge of it two days prior is pretty damn good if you ask me.
Now it's time for a little nap zzzzzzzzzzz..........

Man, I've finally crossed the point of doom for this semester.... My Alice paper is done! Now I just need to get off my ass, do the listening for next week.
So next year in rand is gonna kick ass! Three buds and me got this huge room that we can fit just about a million people and things into. Tyler is a really cool guy, and I hope I get to know him better the rest of this year. Rooming with him should be very cool.
I wonder what Zac has been upto this weekend? I've spent a great deal of time with V so far, so I don't know what his status is. I saw his car parked up in the Mellby lot though - I wonder if he has plans to go to the city, or just in town? Hopefully I'll see him later today cause I want to work on a poster with him.
Yeah, I suck at journaling cause I always forget for a spell. That's just the way it goes I guess.

Meh... I'm kinda excited about going to prez ball, but I really need time this weekend to study music history, or else I'm going to fail that along with everything else, and maybe just drop out of college. I could just be one of those dudes that likes to play on street corners, but who am I kidding? I have music geek blood in me, and I better damn well gradumatate!
Oh well.. now it's time to put on a spiffy tux with my red cumber bun and bow tie. YEah! Will I look suave or what...

Now it's time to do some more work for my ed psych class. We don't do a great deal in the actual class, but we have outside obsevations (when I go to elementary school). I need to write journal entries for them, and I'm about five or six days behind! That's way too much for me to write. I'll try and get one done today.

It's not really morning anymore, but I still feel a tad sleepy. I won't be recovered from the sleepless break for a while longer :) No.. I actually got possibly too much sleep over spring break. There were millions of opportunities to do stuff, but the most exciting thing I did possibly was.. seeing the Grotto in Westbend, IA. Gotta get back to my catholic rootls - doncha know!

Just got back from another day @ school. It wasn't too exciting, but the kids finished up their last day of state testing... whew! Dan (the teacher) was the most relieved out of the bunch. I'm sure he wouldn't let his kids take that test if he didn't have to... but what trouble could he get into anyhow? Why couldn't he perform some nice proffesional rebellion.. would he get fired or something? Just repremanded?
Now I should do a bit of journaling for the class. I need to hand in a journal of events of what happened... So what did I do today then? Mostly corrected some daily assignments for science, and chatted a bit. Not too much of anything really. I was quite intrigued by some of the childrens desperate answers to questions they didn't know. Oh well - lunch soon.. I'm hungy!

Man, I wonder how I survive in this world sometimes. My poor ass gets tossed around like a fuckin doll when I have to take tests at school, and do all this academic stuff that seems to be beuond me. Meh. I pray that this rectal that I'm playing in will go alright, or at least the lovely lady who's been my accompanist will be able to accompany me AHH! This past month has at once been hectic and sucky, while there are plenty of cool things going on as well. I don't know what to say.. all I need is some good sleep. zzzzzzzzz :)

Ah... had a nice talk with me mum. She came to visit just for the hell of it because I figured it would be a great opportunity for her to get out of the house, and I could chat with her about school and different odds and ends I need to talk with her about anyhow concerning school. Dad can just be a pest sometimes, and it's good for her to get out. I don't mean that in a mean way exactly, but just that his personality is wearing. He's sixty, and set in his ways.
So we played scrabble, and I talked about my ed-psych class. I have felt that this class has been especially boring, and that it's no more than common sense. Maybe I'm wrong, and there's really more to it, but it seems as if most of the stuff we're learning is second nature. Oh well. I'm not entirely thrilled with school right now anyhow. Music history is very fun, but tough. Everything else is either typical, or somewhat boring. I do have to say that I enjoyed Ear Training the other day, and that I'm very appreciative of a certain TA :) Oh... did I mention that my mom kicked my ass in scrabble? She totally whipped my butt. I had mostly vowels the whole game... it sucked. That was possibly the worst game I played.
I gotsta study... I forgot that I work in a half of an hour!

yeah...pretty nice minnesota day..
i can't complain. it's windy. that's typical. it's cold, and who really
gives a shit anymore when you have a heater in your room that
NEVER SHUTS OFF?!
so what do i really have to say? meh...that's about it
i'm more excited about my band that's really starting to get into things =>
like how we have one completed original that really kicks some major ass!
soon it will be a no. 1 hit on the radio...ok so i'm dreaming but practice was
really fun, and i liked the way our drummer jived with the girl who (i hope)
will continue to play piano with us, because she totally rules at improve
piano stuff like she was doing. things really pulled together unlike last
semester that just seemed to simmer down. the most problem we're
experiencing right now is figuring out what our band name should be?
i have no clue...so - any suggestions? I'm getting pretty clueless, but who
am i that could think of the most brilliant band name ever?
is "snoochy booches" the next one hit wonder, or will "drunken doogies" be the next band to go platnum? I really don't know.

hell yah! I just got back from my first day with my fifth grade math class. I am only there for an hour at time, a few days a week, but this should be very cool. I look forward to working with this one kid Chase - he's cool, but has a few problems with fractions and this whole math business. Very fun. I'm glad I didnt get lost on the way there.

Meh... computers be very complicated... I sometimes like them, and other times think they're stupid. I wish I didn't have to use them, and we all could type papers through osmosis or something.
