So I haven't posted in awhile, although I don't believe I have many readers, so .. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!
Hopefully 2010 will be so much better than '09! .. '09 sucked. No, I mean, it really did. I've noticed so many negative things, and I barely had anything positive going on that year. I wish '010 (oh'ten? seriously?) would make up for it. And it better.
I'd like to mention the death of one of my idols, James Owen Sullivan. He died on the 28th of December (I would've made a note sooner, but I was lazy and too busy crying, kthx), and the medias say it's from natural death. Well, we all know what the media says. The guy was 28, not 72. Although, it could've been an anevrism .. I sure would like to find out.
It's been over a week, and I still can't believe it. Like come on, he was Avenged Sevenfold's drummer (as seen in description, that's my favorite band), and he basically was the band! He wrote all the songs for them, and he even composed and wrote the sheet music for an entire symphony! The kid's a total genius!
Thing is .. they were about to release their 5th CD .. and what are they gonna do without him? Oh, and if anyone knows what his favorite drink was, I'd like to drink something in his honour. But in the meantime, I raise my empty milk glass (I love milk), here's to you, Jimmy. Love you.
Anyway, on a happier note .. (haha, note, get it? Ok, lame joke, I know) I'M GETTING A NEW FLUTE!! Yeaaaaah it's my Christmas present. It's a second-hand, open-holed Armstrong 303B flute, with a B footjoint (which lets me play a low B at the bottom of the staff and a high B, two octaves above the staff), offset G, tuned to A=442. Super happy? I think so! I'm paying half, but it's SO worth it, and it's not even that expensive. Right now, it's in Halifax getting cleaned out and all that stuff. But I can't wait to get it. Seriously, I'm like, freaking out.
So we're playing this song in music class .. FREEZE FRAME !! Haha .. It's really fun to hear the rest of the class play it, but my part's really boring. Like, worse than Austin Powers (which was really sad .. I played the same two lines 64 times throughout the whole song). Honestly, this one's annoying, cause I play the rythmic section, the piano part. This is all I play, for 6 pages :
Interesting, right? Yeah, for the first 7 seconds .. Oh yeah, and then we play Star Wars with École Arc-En-Ciel in 8th grade. K so, Star Wars is a Level 1 song. We play Level 4. Boring much?
BUT !! Thank God, out teacher is smart and gives us awesome songs .. I'll post them later, cause I'm too lazy to do it now. And this note's getting quite long, sorry about that ..
Ohai, one last thing .. 12 days till my birthday! :D .. kthxbai.
