Ryan's mum... Well, bitch is strong, but bitch is my opinion.
To sum it up, no practice tomorrow and we might as well forget trying for the yamaha competition. Psh. Pushing it to thursday doesn't help much. Still, I have my faith in him. If not, I'm just gonna lug a shit lot of extension cables, my amp and mics and bass, and blast outside his house :D

thefinalsay! (001)
Today's post is about mah side project, thefinalsay. Well, nothing much about us, just 3 guys who've decided that the 'only' band in our school has gotta stop being a bunch of showy assholes and stop playing zombie by the cranberries. Seriously. I mean sure, its a nice song, but really, for all 3 years I've been here, the only song you've played is that. Minus the sweet child o mine, where you performed with a teacher. Its like, dude, no skill to learn anything else much?
So we're thefinalsay. And now we're 3 piece. Great. Not hating our ex vocalist, but really, damn. Now I've gotta sing, and frankly, that means no technical basslines while the vocals are screamed out. Pshaw.
Drummer finally got a drumkit today! Though technically its not with him (its with me!) and well, its not really his yet (yeah, I paid half the price, and I collected it for him). But yay! At least now we can practice fully. Now time to thrash (yeah, right) the competition at yamaha's junior category. With our original(s) (or rather, no s). And well, time's a wasting! Tuesdays we have our band practice, probably at my place. Then we'll see if we go anywhere.
Members (2011):
Jack - Vocals, Bass
Sean - Guitar, Backing vocals
Ryan - Drums
Ex-Members:
Michelle - Vocals (you will be missed, I guess... Yeah right, you ain't dead, but still, we ain't angry!)
Helmy - Drums (PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

Ranting: 22/07/2011
Today. Time to rant! Let the world know my pains! My suffering! Woe betide me! *BOOHOO!
With the sarcasm over, let's read about my rant. And GO!
Well, today, we had our first NDP parade training. Originally, I got my choice of being a flag puller, approved by my cca. If not, I would take the position of one of the flag bearers. Well, guess not! HAHA! Nah, I am now reserve. You would not believe how pissed I am at the decision. Not to mention, there's ONLY ONE flag this year. Well, thank you MR MICHAEL! I'm really surprised the other teachers haven't like, fucking kicked his ass off the seat yet.
First of all, this is NDP, for the fucking nation, not your shitty NCC to showcase their 'skills' in their freestyle drills. It wouldn't be so bad if it was actually good, like you won the competition. Or if it didn't take the glory away from the MAIN PARADE. Or if it was actually FUCKING RELATED to National Day. Erm well, I hear you say they look good. Well geez,I'm very sure that their representative in the actual parade is fantastic. Sending your sec 1s and 2s exclusively? Wow, that's showcasing your supposed 'gold' unit capability. Well, good luck with your goddamn freestyle. We all know you'd need it.
So back to me. My rant. I. AM. RESERVE. You will not believe how much that hurts to my ego, my dignity. I'm the CONFIRMED Flag Raiser, along with Wai Mun. Goddamn it Michael, you just agreed to Sir Sham's point that I'd be the raiser last week. What is wrong with your parade? I mean, now, I have to join the contingent. Not so bad. Until you find out that...
WE'RE NOT G.O.H. ANYMORE! Well, simply put, that means no one in the contingent can wear those darned good looking white gloves. Originally, having won the other CCAs for the postition of FIRST AND SECOND PARADE COMMANDER, we would have the honor of being the squad at the front, with everyone wearing those gloves. Now? We've moved back to alongside NCC. We aren't that shitty to march, no wait, STAND, next to your bunch of Sec 1s and 2s. Seriously, field the Sec 3s, and just cancel your damn freestyle, then we'd all be a fuck lot happier. I just can't understand the stupidity of your parade, your judgement. So here's my one fingered salute to you _|_
OH AND WE DON'T SLOW MARCH?! WHAT SHITTY FLAG PARTY DOESN'T SLOW MARCH?! IT LOOKS GOOD FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! Sorry for the caps, but yes, you read right. Thank fucking god all the other CCA teachers are like NO! and we get our slow march. Marvelous, it takes all 10+ teachers to persuade this stubborn sergeant to change one part of the parade. While the other NCC TOs are Lieutenants or something around there, this bitch is a SERGEANT. And what does he know about planning a parade? NOTHING.
End rant. I might post something proper later. Meh.

Music Take! Artist: Alesana!
Been listening to a lot of "The Emptiness" by Alesana, a brilliant band IMO. Such beautiful lyrics, yet presented in such an emotionally violent manner. Probably gonna talk more about it tomorrow. If I even could be bothered to.
*****
My thoughts are running on full repeat, my emotions are in conflict. Meh. Feel like shit again. I want to change I guess, but I can't change much. Not without upsetting myself. Then again, that's what I might need. Some disappointment.
*****
She's still the same. Nothing has changed. I guess. Nothing much happened today I suppose. And today's NPCC course was actually NEXT THURSDAY! So I kinda wasted some time today, but the wind at HTA was quite cooling. Better than staying at home or in school. In all randomness, the weather was quite spectacular today. No rain, sun's out, and the wind.
*****
" I touch your lips, and stare in your eyes
You smile, and it makes me fly
You are, the reason my heart beats
Tonight, its just you and me "
~The Thespian (Alesana, The Emptiness)
*****
Oh, a lil disclaimer:
Started this blog so I could rant, so I could talk about my day. About music. About school. About the boring story about me. Nothing here is done professionally, so don't expect an amazing take on a topic. Just putting this out there in case you expected some politically charged commentary or something else. And I will randomly quote stuff, so I guess you'll have to deal with it.

Phoenix
Well. I have to start somewhere. I have this sense of having unaccomplished anything in life. So what do I do? I rant. I'm going to sleep now, maybe I'll give this up tomorrow. But yeah. This is a reminder to myself that I feel this way. Maybe I'll actually use this for something useful, like post my lyrics or shit here. Maybe... Or I could keep to just ranting.
