All's well

Howdy mates,

Well last night was spectacular. I got those A's that I was upset about, and life is working out rather well right now. Last night I went to Nick's with Chaz and John and it pretty much kicked ass. So we start off the night with a jam sesh (yeah I said sesh, back off.). I was on bass and vocals, Nick on drums, John on acoustic guitar, Chaz on electric and vocals. We played a cover of The Quiet Thing That Know One Ever Knows first, and I must admit it sounded incredibly dirty. A small problem was that since I have never really played bass before, I kinda sometimes stopped singing and just played bass, but being that I was like, doing lead, it posed a small problem. But screw it, we sounded great, we had fun, and I was soloing on a goddamn bass. Thats what I'm talking about people. But honestly, it was a great night, and I really think we've got something as far as a band goes. My current idea for a band name (technically my dad's idea) was The Rivals. Only problem is that there is an English Punk band called The Rivals, so we've gotta figure something else out. Anyway so after we played, we watched The Boondock Saints and and some other movie, and then we went upstairs and just talked. Over all it was great (for like the millionth time). Now I've gotta head to my lacrosse game, so wish me luck mates.

Peace out,
Sir Danny

Angry Bear

I'm going to start off with the fact that today doesn't seem to like me very much. I'm always extremely careful after receiving lots of good news at once, because it always tends to be followed by a bad day. I'll warn you, this probably won't be a fun post to read, more of a rant/anger management session. Though for those of you who know me, my anger is quite limited, so I'm sure it'll have worn off by the end of the post.

Let's begin with the good. A short list of all the great things that happened yesterday:

-Won Lax Game
-Got 4 guitar courses for free ($150ish saved) in a random draw contest
-Discovered I have an A in Chem
-A friend of mine who is really good at guitar and vocals wants to make a band with me

So yay it was a great day. I go to sleep laughing due to some funny comics my brother shows me. I wake up, malnourished and unrested, go to school, rush my chem homework and attempt to seem awake. Okay, normal day so far. I discover I have to do an essay this weekend, and my math teacher refuses to bump my 92.1 up to an A. The paper, alright whatever, the no A, damnit that really sucks. So then I go to lacrosse practice, we have to practice with varsity. It was cool because I scored, but it's so intense and was unneeded pressure. So fine, whatever, I get home and use the bathroom, then go upstairs to check my grades (end of the quarter). I look, I have 3 B+'s, which for me is terrible. That means I only get first honors rather than principle's list, parents are going to bitch, and I actually have to work fourth quarter. So I look to see which are B+'s. History, alright well I didn't exactly work this quarter in history, math, wow thats really not cool, and what the hell, french? I look, my teacher gave me an 87 homework average, giving me a 92. If I got an 88 homework average, I'd have a 92.5, an A. So at this point I'm absolutely pissed off at my french teacher. Then, mum comes home, and remember how I used the toilet? well, I flooded the bathroom. Yay. Mum's pissed. Mum's more pissed about grades, I can't go to rob's to play guitar. Fuck you April 2nd, I think you are the second child who is always looking for attention. Just man up, April 1st beat you to it. (Yes, I just had a conversation with April 2nd. No big deal). And a lot of people would be like, "Wow, 3 B+'s and straight A's is really good!" But I'm sorry, no it's not. Not for me at least. It's not like I work hard, but still, I don't get 3 B+'s in one quarter. Thats absolutely ridiculous to me. And for the record, I'm officially tired of not talking to any girls, of spending all my time playing guitar when I'm not even close to being good enough to be seriously legit, of playing sports (when the truth is, I really don't like sports anymore), and of having to deal with stupid people. Whatever. Thats my rant. Sorry you had to read it, and if you didn't read it, sorry you didn't wanna read my post, but in that case you wouldn't see this apology. Oh well, I guess it's the thought that counts.
