The Band situation:
i'm losing time for this...sigh...
you just stop by to get your hat and end up buying the girl a dozen roses and spending the whole day. you are luke.
anyone who's anyone should know some things about my life now, and only a few people do, so sad, yet i'm so happy it doesn't matter.
i want to tell my friends everything, but they want to watch futurama and go bowling
mike knows, he understands
its all a matter of contact, and again, timing
you have to be a friend to make/have a friend
its easy to buy gifts for guys, but hard for girls?
you can pick your friends, you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friend's fucking nose
cmon people, we can change that! haha jk.
friendster still blows, can never get on, i want to take off my blog, before laura reads it, but i was too late according to tday
remind me to tell you about laura
i'm kind of upset about the band, and feel sorry rudy has to spend like 20 bucks a day to practice with us and his blink 182 band.
i'm upset because we waste a lot of time, and i realized that big mike (not bigger mike) has changed the name, changed around my songs, and changed my opinion of him.
i think it would be more useful to sit around playing nothing and hear each others ideas than to sit around playing crap just to prove we can play crap. and we can't hear a word we say unless spoken through the microphone.
theres only one microphone. and i'm thinking of leaving it if our cd goes sour.
he suggeted once to make a michelle branch cover. thats fine. i found the chords and brought it to practice, he kept saying we shouldn't do it because its already been done. i show him it, and a few practices later he wants to sing it.
it was evident in the car garage today where practice wsa held (pretty cool) when i came hours and hours late, that i really was just following him now, he made the flyers (which i didn't like) for the show, and he's come up now with his own new lead song, with no lyrics and is really hard to follow. and we are going to play it first. i wouldn't be surprised if people left.
there can be two microphones, but i just don't agree every song has to have some pseudo-complex layer of guitar in it to be good.
think simple man. what have the white stripes taught us? they are millionares and their songs are nothing more than simple beats and simple lyrics and simple guitar parts. learn. i want to learn what makes hits, and not what makes generic songs.
what i really want? i want the emo band, pseudo-weezer, pseudo the clash, pseudo afi, pseudo get up kids/saves the day, pseudo the white stripes, that i dreamed about when i created those songs. i really don't need someone tailoring my songs to his taste. i really don't need to be in this anymore. but i'm in it already, and i will continue on, because we do actually sound really good.
i have a stack of songs we never even touched, but i guess its my fault i never introduced them.
i see a solo career in my future.
i see a college life ahead of me.
