I was going to review Eisley's Room Noises before writing up anything else but I wanted to do something new for the time being. So I thought I would give you readers an update on my life at the moment.
So, I picked up my gameboy color exactly a week ago and I've been playing it during my passing periods and free time at school; my primary games consist of Pokemon Red Version, Wario vs Bomberman, and Super Mario Land (I have Paperboy but that game is really impossible to play and belongs in the arcade). I also seem to have got a couple other people bring theirs to school, something I'm proud of, and amused with at the same time.
I play tenor saxophone for those of you who don't know and a struggle I've been working with is finding a new mouthpiece. Good mouthpieces are at least a hundred dollars and you need to order them most of the time, therefore, it gets costly to try them out. And no, they're not all the same at all. It's a bitch process yes, but you learn a lot about your trade and has a good payout if you know what to buy. Anyways, I've also been playing a lot of flute because it's common for a saxophone player to double on their primary instrument as well as a flute/clarinet/bass clarinet.
I'm honestly disappointed with the lack of biking I've been doing; maybe its that I'm getting bored of this town, I don't know. I've started driving - permit only - so maybe I'll make some cycling adventures when I get my license. Speaking of biking, one of the big things I've done lately is start a bike club at my school. Initially, it was to fund-raise for the Human Trafficking cause (inspired by my church) but now I'm thinking we might get a little broader. This includes biking places and doing community work, while fund-raising. Cooper and I are still discussing it. One more thing, if you're interested in joining, we need members and we've decided to get members through word-of-mouth so talk to us.
My sleep schedule has really gone to pieces lately and it's irritating others; mostly my band teacher, but also (for some reason) the students of my 0 period jazz band class. I'm thinking it's because they look up to my band teacher so whenever he gets pissed off, they feel obliged to say something. I haven't a clue. The thing with my schedule is that I really don't know how to fix it, nor do I really care to fix it as much as everyone else seems to want to. I go to sleep at 3am every night, arrive late to Jazz, and also sleep from 3 pm to 5 pm every afternoon. What blows about this is that I could be so very productive in this period of time but there just seems to be something about my house (or room, whichever) that doesn't allow me to do this. This is partially why I'm off facebook, and deleting myspace (I'll get more in depth with this a little later.) I'm really trying to improve but there's so many ways to get distracted.
I've left facebook for a month and I've also decided to delete my myspace (which is proving to be a pain because I can't remember the password to the email) mostly because it's been controlling my life and I'm under it's chains. For Example, I started today, and I'm already dying to see what everyone is up to, and noticing that, I've come to the consensus that online social networks limit people from the potential. Everyone is so lame now in that they get people to understand them without talking to them directly and most of the time this builds false assumptions in the "stalkers" (we'll just call them that for now). Our imaginations go wild when we're presented with this new unfamiliar idea. I don't know, call me whatever you want but it just feels like something I needed to do anyways.
The second half of that is that there were girl issues I was having and it was getting to be too much for me. There was a girl I liked with a beautiful soul, but I was beginning to feel that her mind wandered from guy to guy too much and I didn't know how to handle it. I've found that the perfect song to describe my frustration with her is "Since I've Been Loving You" - Led Zeppelin. If you want the blues, you go to them. Anyways, I'll move on and life will get better.
Note: Don't have texting conversations with the people you like, unless you can avoid one word responses. Sometimes you'll get places but I recommend just waiting until you can see them in person to talk and babble senselessly. Like I said earlier: Our imaginations go wild with the endless possibilities.
So off of the facebook topic, I have made a tremendous improvement today with getting this set in my life. Let me explain: so there has been this person who has been sticking around our group and we all found him unbearably annoying for the longest time. We couldn't think of a good productive way to say it, so we would beat around the bush and naturally, nothing was solved. Well, after a few life lectures in my youth group, long talks with my friends, and my yearning for peace with myself, I decided I wanted to do it at lunch during school (and understand that we've been trying to figure out how to put this out for a really really long time) so I get 3 friends and bring him into a room. We sit him down and work things out face to face. Afterward, Cooper and I decided that it was a really great success. One thing I'd like to say is that everyone in that room was nervous as shit but it was worth the anxiety.
note 2: talking face to face with someone really does solve thing quick and effectively.
note 3: The three nicest students at DSH are Garret Raspasin, Hunter Kett, and Nicole Hagstrom. Seriously, they are the definition of "the shit". If you see any of them, give a high five and ask them about their day.
note 4: Mrs. Cribb is the bee's knees and you other kids are surely on crack for thinking otherwise.
That's mostly what's been happening. So talk to me.
