Paradise City



So the show went pretty well! There was a problem with Paradise City and I was all upset but it wasn't my fault so I'm over it =] Then another show tomorrow which might have something extra exciting happen but I really have no clue as of yet. Sooo yep. I should get to sleep, gotta be up in 8 hours. But DUDE I must have these:


























Alrighty, off to sleep. So long for now!

Dude Looks Like A Lady

I'm seriously starting to have trouble coming up with song titles relating to my posts...because if you haven't noticed every blog title is a song title because I'm awesome like that.

SPEAKING OF AWESOME...last Friday and Saturday I played shows. Both were tributes to The Doors. So anyways, Saturday I'm at the venue hanging out backstage before showtime. About two minutes before the show is supposed to start, the show director comes backstage and informs us that Robby Krieger (who is the guitarist from The Doors) is in the audience. So's Arthur Barrows, who played bass with Frank Zappa for a while. But anyways, I was informed that Mr. Krieger would be PLAYING GUITAR on Light My Fire...which is a song I was on! So there I am, pounding on the drums, trying not to mess up because I'm basically onstage with a legend. Playing a song that he helped write and make famous. Holy. Crap. So that was pretty much one of the most awesome days of my life. There's footage of us playing Light My Fire on my YouTube account if any of the non-existent people who read this would like to see.

Hmm...in other news...life's pretty boring but it's going well. Have to pick up my car from the shop tomorrow. I had my brakes adjusted, my oil changed, and my air conditioning fixed (THANK GOD). Then I have my drum lesson in the evening and I think I'm going to stay for extra practice for the Guns 'N' Roses vs. Motley Crue show. Then Friiiiiday, I'm going to my grandma's house in the afternoon. I'm gonna look through the stuff she plans on selling at the garage sale she's having to see if I want any of it. I'm sleeping there and then Saturday morning I'm helping with the sale. Then I have to leave at 1 to get back here by 2 so my parents and I can be in Hollywood by 3 for my G'N'R rehearsal. Then after that we're going over to The Grove to see my friend Jonathan perform...yay! He's so awesome, I'm excited.

So...yup. Life's been treating me well. Good but busy weekend. Monday I did homework so that was a little stressful. Then Tuesday I went into school in the morning and then I've just sorta been chilling since then. Watching TV, sleeping late, and today I played Sims 2 for a while which I haven't done in ages! I freaking love that game. Oh, I also got new cables for my Super Nintendo so I've been playing a lot of my awesome old school games. I went through my favorite game EVER, Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday, in a couple of hours. Then I worked on Goof Troop for a while and got to the very last boss stage where I died but oh well, close enough. Then I played some other games but yeah...I need to play some newer games too...Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Rock Band, The Godfather, Bully, DDR, Guitar Hero...hmph. I want to get GTA4 too.

Gosh this blog is getting long. I guess I'll finish up with the fact that I've been watching a lot of home movies lately and I really want to figure out how to record VHS tapes onto the computer. Because let's face it, I was freaking adorable and footage of my cute little self must be put on YouTube. And footage of my family being dumb. Yay!

Off to watch my new Grease: Rockin' Rydell Edition! G'nite!
