Wow, it really has been awhile since I logged and posted some art and everything. I don't really know what happened. I guess I had the time, but I don't really know what happened. I was spending aton of my time on imdb, which is the Internet Movie DataBase. But, now I'm back and can't wait to hear about everything. So, I shall begin the process of "recovering" which will first involve me commenting on the 109 deviations that I currently have. Then, I might read the 15 hot topics, then I'll go to the journals. I probably won't comment on every journal entry, just for time's sake, but I'll certainly try to make an effort. By the way, there are 155 journal entries, so that might take a while. Then, I'll have to reply back to the 111 comments, which will probably be higher than now, since people will reply back to what I comment on. Anyway, my life's going pretty good. No girlfriend yet, but I've, once again, learned alot of DON'T's to trying to get to know a girl/asking her out. Gizmo's doing fine also, and I'm still playing the trumpet. I'm doing Jazz Band again this year. I have two solos, one from last year, and then a new one; I am currently playing 1st part in band, but in Jazz Band, I play 1.5 part, which rounds both ways, cause one 1st part player jumps between instruments, so I sometimes play 1st and sometimes play second. I'm working on a poem right now, and I might post it tonight or tomorrow, but it will be posted before the weekend gets here. Stuff at school is fine, other than taking an elbow to the stomach while playing Speedball, which isn't a foul because 1) Coach never said it was non-contact, and 2) Coach didn't see it. And who gave me the elbow? Mitchell, the first chair trumpet, when we were up against a corner, fighting over a small orange ball, and I mean, it's only a game, so no harm, no foul. Anyway, I went and saw Ghost Rider over the weekend, and it was pretty good, I liked it. And finally, my one friend, who is known as Twiggy, Twigs, or Twigz, whatever anyone wants to call him, finally took my advice and got a dA account. He's going to post some song lyrics for his band, and also some weird drawings that he did while he was in his math class. So, his name is ~exposrule. So, if you could, visit his page and get to know him, maybe comment on some of his work. He's an overall good person, and a fellow trumpeter. Other than that, no big news on my part. I can't wait to hear how everyone is doing, and if you have any big questions for me, just let me know! ENJOY AND COMMENT FREELY!!!
