Well, this is new.

I haven't posted in a long time. Sorry about that.
So what is new in my life?
First off, I'm exercising more and trying to write more often, hence this post. Let's make this informal and list off some things that have been happening to me:
Grades are good, except for one class, but I can bring them all up easily.
Band is going great, we have our wind ensemble concert on Monday and I have a small jazz gig on Tuesday. Our men's and women's basketball teams are both doing really well this season and are going to the ACC tournament over spring break. If they win and get seeded for NCAA tourny, I'll be traveling with them and playing bass.

On a side note, I switched to DR Highbeam strings for my 4 string. Just changed them back to my Elixirs and realized how much better coated strings sound. Lot less fret buzz and a better blend of sound for a band setting. For metal, well, they get by. I CAN get a gnarly tone from them, but it takes a while.

I wonder what JB's doing...

Music.

Jazz band has been going great. I'm playing both my 4 string and my electric upright, for different songs. Besides this, I'm playing bass for pep band (read: basketball games). And we've finally gotten around to playing death metal, so my 6-string is being used as well. Also, I'm in wind ensemble playing bari sax.


To top it off, we're re-colonizing Kappa Kappa Psi here at WFU. National Band Service Fraternity.

Music
Is part of my
Life.

Blargh

School sucks and I need to blog more. I already have a paper due this Thursday (exactly week from the first day of class). Hurray Work Forest.

Surrealism

Blargh.

Progressive thoughts

So, I started to write some new music.

I've been listening to Scale the Summit a lot recently. They are an instrumental progressive metal band, very melodic and semi-heavy. Definitely recommend checking them out.

This is harder than I thought. I mean, I understood it wasn't easy, but damn.

Time passes

Wow. The end of the semester is approaching fast. I have one organic chemistry test before the final. Every other class has just finals (English final being a paper). I've had a great semester, minus my roommate situation. But I'm getting rid of him, so it's all good.

We have the university jazz ensembles concert tomorrow. Basically, 2.5 hours or so of jazz for everyone to hear.
First will be the Saxophone ensemble, playing Liza. I'm on Bari sax.
Then, we're joining with jazz ensemble (the saxes and rhythm section) to play Heads Up and Fax about Sacts. Still on Bari.
They'll play a song next.

Then I'm on my EUB for the rest of the night, playing 5 out of the 9 pieces for the Jazz Band. It's going to be epic. I'll have a recording of the concert if anyone wants some of it.

Also, I didn't start with "So," in this post.
Huh.

Well, who knows what will happen?

I have my whole life ahead of me. College is just a springboard into something much larger than what I currently can imagine. I do not know what the future holds for me, but I am excited to find out.

I'm trying it again. It'll work out this time, mostly because we've had time to be ourselves and mature on our own.
