For the first time all over again
At this point in time, all i wanna yell is "Screw the big update.."

If you visited SomeGuy's spot at the appropriate time, you've already heard about my encounter in the West. Yes, he headbutt me but I also bought lots of music and had perfect strangers run their hands through my hair. That's pretty much it.

I think what I also wanted to include in my super mega happy big post 100% was The Lord of the Rings musical, my sister's big 18th birthday bash, and about a girl who I'm currently quite into and how she's into me AND how I went on my first ever date with her....


...but you don't wanna hear me blab on about that, do you?


I thought not.





The reason I'm posting today is because I have some news. Like I mentioned before, I'm back with the band. Everything fell back into place all crazy like once again. Totally Tetris, y'know?

Last night (Thursday), I went to Mr. Guitarist's house to jam. Mr. Bassist picked me up and we headed there around 3:30ish. Since we've been FINALLY getting warmer weather, we jammed in the garage for the first time this year. Rock season is beginning.

It felt awesome being together in that garage again. After a good 25 minutes of going on about how their other drummer is a freak who make sound effects and theme music while playing with swords, gets tired after TWO songs, and can't keep a simple beat, we finally began playing.

After playing an electronic kit with nobody else playing live tunes, it felt like a good punch in the ears, but it also felt good. Just like old times. Mr. Bassist pounding thick lines from his bass, Mr. Guitarist shredding his black & green guitar, and of course, myself drumming my life away.

Everything from here on out is being recorded on Mr. Bassist's digital camera. Perhaps I'll put up a video of a good jam on YouTube or something so you guys can see.

We only stopped for a few minutes in between to have a sip of water or something. Otherwise, it was a good 5 hour jam. The sun still goes down fairly early so we had to stop. But damn, jamming felt soo soo good.

We went out for sushi at a new all-you-can-eat place they recently discovered. They've become very nice about me not eating meat. They already thought about places we could go with seafood/veggie alternatives and really, that's wicked.

For the rest of the night, we talked about the past and the good times, about how their other drummer is a fucking freak, and about our future.

Guess what's in the future. The NEAR near future.

A live.

On the 7th of April.

Yup. Back with the band and I get to play a live. And you wouldn't believe where. At the El Mocambo. That's where our first live was and we're pretty much playing there again. Deja vu-ness..

I'm pretty excited. We're selling NO tickets. We're just gonna play our minds out for random people who are there, get our vocalist drunk and watch him puke onstage. Oh yes. All on camera too.




Oh wow, it's been awhile, hasn't it?

I'm pretty tired from the session. My arms look green from all the veins popping out. *laughs* Drumming rocks! I love green!

I think I'll shut up. Yes. Good idea, Josh.



Cheers.
