a little update on my boring life...
okay so i haven't updated on day to day stuff for a while now. Yesterday was the big 3 tests day and I survived, even if i did complain almost constantly... I know i can get pretty annoying so just remind me nicely and I'll try my darndest to stop.
And yesterday I found out that my band made it in for the talent show which is cool i guess, but Pasto and Todd's band didn't which sucks. Sunday we're all (we all= pasto's band + my band) going to Todd's house to record some songs for battle of the bands. No offence to my "bandmates" but I think this competition is going to be a little harder than the talent show so I don't think we'll make it in. Trying to record stuff should be interesting...
I've got nothing else planned for this weekend so lots of sleep and possibly more blogging, I almost forgot Chem homework ... Damn!
and I don't think our plan of going to Quebec city to see green day is going to work, sorry Christine:( Turns out it actually is like 6 hours away for those of you who doubted me.
Lastly: bands I've started getting into this week = Mars Volta, Dandy Warhols, Walkmen...
really good shit

Firstly, oh man you're still going strong with the band thing which is so damn cool. Remember when we were in a band? no? Okay.
Secondly, I'm starting a band when I get to Montreal becuase it seems like the thing to do these days, plus I really want to hang out with Melissa Auf Der Maur and the Unicorns, like on a regular basis. I already know what I'm calling this modern-day Nirvana (I mean modern-day Nirvana in terms of how much ass we'll kick) but I'm afraid I can't post it here becuase it's just THAT good.
Next, two things that are not related to anything, I have a crush on Annie Lennox and remember when we used to sell origami to the young, ignorant elementary students?
Lastly, Sparta are cooler than the Mars Volta. I'm not actually sure if that's true, but I blame the two former ATDI members in the MV for the brek up of ATDI. That being said, go download 'vacant Skies' by Sparta and 'A Line In The Sand' by Q and not U and be amazed.
Wow this is long but not nearly long enough so I'll make it even longer.
A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they?d be happy for a while.
But february made me shiver
With every paper I?d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn?t take one more step.
I can?t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
Singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die."
Did you write the book of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock ?n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you?re in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin? in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.
I was a lonely teenage broncin? buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.
I started singin?,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
And singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die."
Now for ten years we?ve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin? stone,
But that?s not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,
Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.
We were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
And singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die."
Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
And singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die."
Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil?s only friend.
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan?s spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
And singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die."
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I?d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn?t play.
And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.
And they were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
Singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die."
They were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
Singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die."
