OJ Cut Susan Cold

Yea, I'm sure that you are all excited to read yet another blog by Dylan. I think I am writing again today mainly because I am angry at life. I mean, take Scantily Clad Lads for instance: so close to being complete, so close to start going places, yet everything seems to never work out right. I mean, I have worked so hard for this band. I have bought a guitar, two amps, microphone, and whatever else. i make sure everyone is reved for practice every week and sometimes I even have to wake people up to get them going. I have written songs, I have dones everything that I have needed to to keep this band going. But now, before we've even really begun, it's as if we are on the way to falling apart.

The way I see it, the band is at the point that every band reaches where the band either continues to go uphill or it starts to go downhill. Well, every week that we don't have a drumset to use I can feel us rolling a little closer to the down slope and I hate it. The drums are the missing puzzle piece. After we have it, everything will fit together. I mean, if you've come close to finishing a puzzle and one piece is missing, it's just kind of fucking depressing. And god damned if I haven't run into this problem so often. I just wish for things to go right. Is that so much to ask? I hate my life.

Great Gatsby!, It's Gilligan!

OK, stop gnawing on your own asses like the dogs you are and read the insanity that I am about to fortell. OK, now that I have your attention I want you to know that I don't actually have anything important to say.

Anyway, the first week of classes is almost over and I am feeling pretty damn fine. I've got great professors and I'm taking Chinese! OK, I have a Chinese quiz tomorrow on the initial and final sounds. I feel like I might be screwed, but maybe I'll get lucky. I went to Piano II and realized how many music students must be in the class and that's when it all came back to me: I can't sight read very well. So, I feel totally behind the rest of the class, but I am on a sure-fire note learning schedule that should curve me back into good runnings with the class.

Scantily Clad Lads does indeed have a drummer and we are definitely practicing this weekend. In related news, Mark is the new bassist in Bomb Children, how flippin' sweet is that? Yup, I know. It's funny, though Subject to Change broke up over a year ago I still end up playing with them both once again at almost the same exact time! Trevor will be drummer at his first practice with us this Saturday and I will be playing with Mark in Bomb Children for the first time this Friday! Ain't that odd? It's fate really.

I am also starting work on this new fake news show that has been started at NMU. I am going to be doing field reporting, weather, and I will get to interview fun clubs! It's something that has gotten me very excited for this semester among many other things.

Oh, and in other news, I got this external sound card and I can record music on my laptop once again. This has helped end months and months of frustration, let me tell you. I was so happy when I could record again that I've already finished one of my solo songs. It's decent, but you better talk to me if you want to hear it.

Anyway, all I need now is a job and I am set. I can only hope that I will get a job. But who knows? Anyway, catch you next time here at the only blog you ever need to read!

A New Year. . . . . .Whatever the Hell that Changes. . . . . .Oh, Yea, the Seasons!

Well hello. This is my first blog. I have decided to cut any introductory crap cause you're here if you know me and you aren't here if you don't. Anyway, I am home at the end of winter break. I have one more day of work to go through and then I am free as a bird. Free to go back to school and do other sorts of work. I have come to the conclusion that Ohio makes me tired. Why have I come to such a conclusion one might ask. Well, I am always half-hearted down here and I think even on break I have no energy to get cool stuff done. It wasn't always like this, Ohio used to be fun! But now I am a Michigan person and I think Marquette is more than a home away from home anymore.

I am ready to come back to NMU for a few reasons other than "Ohio makes me tired":

1. Scantily Clad Lads - We have fresh blood in the band with Trevor as a drummer and God knows we can play a few shows before the semester is out. It is a very exciting time for this band.
2. Bomb Children - The other band I play in. We came ever-so close to playing a show at the end of last semester, and now we might actually get a show or two because we might be playing the second weekend of this semester!
3. Classes - I love school!
4. My old roommate is gone - He pissed on my floor! Geesh, what a bas-tardo!

Anyway, I learned "Christian Brother" by Elliott Smith, awesome tune! When NMU starts up again listen to my radio show every Sunday from 6-8pm at www.wupx.com or if you are in the Marquette area, tune into 91.5 fm.
