'08, I'll miss ya.

Dec 31, 2008

So for me, it's only less than 8 hours until I get to ring in the new year. And this 08 year has been hectic, but great.

We've seen great actors and musicians come onto the scene, and we've seen a bunch of great people go. Disney actors and actresses have taken the world by storm with their great hair and pearly whites. The songs of miss Hannah Montana are in the heads of thousands maybe millions of little girls. After the final Harry Potter book was released in 07, a void was left in many readers' hearts. For many this void was filled by the likes of dazzling vampires and a girl who got involved. We lost some greats. Paul Newman, Bernie Mac, and Heath Ledger, just to name a few. We saw Britney Spears pick herself back up and return with a hit album and a couple moonmen. Britney Spears had never won a single mtv moonman before, and this was her first year winning not one, but three. While Britney picked herself up, her sister gave birth to a baby girl. Backstreet Boys, The Spice Girls, and The New Kids On The Block all came back with albums sure to have pleased all their fans. Hollywood has undergone another year of great movies and complete flops. Here's to '08.

For myself, 08 has been one heck of a rollercoaster. I've decided on what I do like ad what I don't like doing. Music has taken a permanent place in my heart, if I could have it my way, I'd go to a school for music after highschool. We'll see how it turns out haha..

I can't possibly finish my reflections all right now! I'm supposed to be celebrating! Only a bit more than 3 hours before 09 for me. In a couple seconds, I say happy new years to another place in the world.

I'll complete my reflection over a couple more sessions

Dec 20, 2008

So today, we finally went to the house on my dad's side. Since I arrived, I've beens taying at my grandma on my mom's side's place. But now, I;m at my dad's sister's place. The house just got renovated, so it's all really nice! Unrecognizable from how it used to be.

The more time I spend with my phone, I realize that my other Nokia phone does basically the exact same things as this new samsung one. Except, The Nokia phone can hold a micro SD whilst my Samsung doesn't. The Samsung phone just looks nicer. My cousin said he'd buy me a cellphone from Edmonton because of something about needing airtime, so I'm assuming there's some type of deal at this phone store or something.

Dial up connection is so slow man. Anyways, the band equipment got moved to the house I'm in today, so now there's a drumkit and a guitar and bass. All we're missing nis a keyboard which is in my cousin's house. My cousin is in a band, and my dad wanted to play with the equipment.

I haven't posted in a while so I'm trying to do a mega post. If you've made it this far, and sincerely care about my expeditions in this country, then kudos to you. Comment so I know you're there. Feel free to follow my blog too. Ok, so I'm currently listening to the latest Jason Mraz album, and it's pretty awesome. I listened to it on the plane, and that was tres awesome.. accent agu over the "e" in "tres".

Anyways, I guess that's it for now. I'll post tmrw or something.

ahg, + Theme Park

Dec 12, 2008

If there's one thing I miss about BC, it's the ability to not worry about getting mosquito bites. (At least where I live.) But this morning I woke up with 3 bug bites and now I've got some ointment on them which should make them somewhat less itchy. They're still a bit swollen because I was scratching them when I knew I shouldn't.

So we went to a theme park today, it was pretty fun. The usual: Got wet on this like "rapids" ride, you know where you sit in this like circular raft? And then we went on a couple coasters where we stood in line for a almost an hour, to get on a ride that doesn't last a minute. And we went on this ride where you get in like huge Swans, and then you peddle to get around haha! It was cool. Now let me tell you what happened when were on the boat that swings like an anchor y'know what I mean? So the people onboard were waaaaay too dramatic. This is a calmer ride compared to others, but people were screaming at the top of their lungs, and one kid was waving his arms like he was pretending he was running or something, but he would make this face like someone was about to punch him, and it made me want to laugh so hard. But back to the screaming. This guy behind me was so loud I thought I was going to get hearing damage, OMG. I wanted to yell and say "shut up!" And it wasn't even one long scream, it was like "Ahh! Ahhh! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" But uber loud. This all happened while I just sat on my seat in the ride, calm and smiling.

All in all today was a pretty good day, tomorrow we're finally going to the mall! yessss..

-duke.

p.s. I wrote this yesterday but didn't post it so, all this happened yesterday

Dec 10, 2008

So I'm doing another blog post, I can't find it in me to go to sleep yet, so I decided to post again. I don't know what I'm gonna do here, on vacation. I soooo don't wanna do my homework yet, even if I should start on it early. My cell is pretty cool, it's a samsung.. something. I can never remember the actual model name for my phones. I never get the easy ones like Rokr, or Razr, or Chocolate, nooooo, mine has to be made of letters and numbers all conjumbled up. I think I really need to sleep, everyonce in a while I end up getting dizzy. So I noticed that the Twilight craze has also reached this part of the world! I think I'm gonna go watch the movie again, go buy breaking dawn, and a couple pieces of merchandise if I can find any. Woah spinny again.. I missed the winter band concert I would've played in if I didn't go on vacation so early. So I can't wait to hear from my buddizzle(lol) about that. I guess I really should sleep. two more days, then I'll be moving to another city.

I have arrived

Dec 9, 2008

Hey readers, and friends!

I have arrived @ my destination and it's pretty cool. Except for the weather, it is way too humid for my liking. I got a new phone, can't do much with it for now because I don't have a sim card hahaha! ANYWAYS! The airplane food sucked, but the movies were pretty awesome! I got to watch Dark Knight again, and I didn't think they'dhave it because we left at like 12:00 am on the day it came out on dvd. I watched The Rocker which was sooooo funny. And I got like halfway through Mamma Mia, I hope it's still playing on the airplane when I return to Canada that way I can finish it!

Tis all for now,
-duke.

-------------------------
So when the wind blows
i want you to know
that ill always be around
and if i don’t show
i want you to know
I didnt mean to pull you down

Although it gets so hard at times
Im still trying to look on the brighter side
Youre getting to damn ridiculous
how could anyone fake this

Then i look into your eyes
And i can tell there’s something not right

You get so wrapped up
In yourself
-----------------------------------------
Anyways, what's goin' on people! I need more stickers to add to my guitar... SO my mom and sister went to the states for Black Friday, and I got a shirt and a hat from them. They mostly shopped for our relatives, but the hat I got is pretty darn close to that of Davedays, pretty cool.

Twilight Mania

Nov 25, 2008

So I've actually gotten onto the Twilight Band wagon. I don't usually follow fads, but this was too hard to resist. The book is just so different from what I would usually read, it's hard to put it down. I haven't yet watched the movie, and I've got mixed feelings about it. I'm also not done the book yet either. I plan to finish both of these items by next week. Team Edward or Jacob, I'm just not sure yet. I need to know more about Jacob, and the thus far, I think I need more info :P

So people don't like Rob as Edward, some think that they somehow were able to make Taylor Lautner ugly, and I have found one friend that doesn't like Kristen as Bella. I have to say that even w/o watching the movie yet, I like the whole cast. Except maybe Alice. Kristen Stewart has got to be one my favorite actresses. I loved her in "In the Land of Women", "Panic Room", and "Cutlass" just to name a couple.

Heyheyhey

So I'm totally bored, I've decided I need to make a super awesome bass solo 1-minute song, that'll be fun. But it'll be uber lame to so many people. But that's ok to me!

Obama-rama

Nov 5, 2008

Barack Obama is officially the next president of the U.S. of A. Everyone was expecting it but it was as cool as ever to see him actually be elected. I wonder what would happen if McCain won... Would people make McCain T-shirts? No I don't think so, he just wouldn't look great on people.. But he already sorta stole one of Obama's slogans. He even stole some of Hilary Clinton's slogans. Be original McCain.. what'd done has been done. Let's see what Obama said about this:

I wanna see what's gonna happen to Palin. She's practically a semi-celebrity, she could be an advocate for some cause like Al Gore.. or she could be ambassador to Alaska!... or not.

Something I found out that was pretty awesome is about the Obama celebrations.
There were millions of people AROUND THE WORLD celebrating Obama being elected as Prez. One celebration in Washington State grabbed my attention. People were screaming, yelling, and crowd surfing. It was like a rock concert minus the rock stars. And also minus a couple more stuff. The energy was there 100%, and police showed up. But they didn't come to arrest anybody. It was so peaceful that people stayed behind, took brooms, and helped sweep up the streets. Change is already coming people.

What a week..

Nov 2, 2008

it's 8:25 as I start typing this..
I am finally done my homework. This whole week has been hella crazy. Note: I don't use "hella" in real life. My friend said it a while back, and that sentence seemed like a good enough time to put it to use. So again back to my week. I totally procrastinated with my science project, and it's due tomorrow, me and my project partner are done, but there's always room for improvement. Also, during the weekends, I spent all my time working on my socials essay. It was about Canadian WWII propaganda, and after working so many long nights on the whole process, I made a pretty substantial mistake. Or it might not be substantial at all. It depends on perspective right? anyways, my teacher made it pretty clear that I had to cite where I got my posters from. And I forgot to include that in my bibliography. I wonder if she'll notice...

I hope this week is a bit more laid back. I've got an English project on the mythology stuff w/ the trojan war. I think we're making a mini-movie. Should be good, as long as my friend's camera can hook up to a PC. Alright..

I still need to go practice my instrument, I hate practice records, they are so evil. They make band class not be an easy "A"


Just cut it out, and tape it to your cell phone. Your phone's got instant personality!

How funny is SNL? So funny, man soooo funny. I just rewatched the episode with Sarah Palin, and this is show is hilarious. At first I was more of a MadTV type of person, but now, SNL's got my vote. Haven't gone to school yet. I'm so rebel. Bloggin would be so much fun if there were people reading right?

Man, canadians eh?

Watching Discovery Channel there are people making water art. Imagine a huge printer with water. So it can make words which are so coooooool! It's called the info box. This first part I'm writing is written in the morning before I'm off to Jazz band practice. I'm going to try and add more tonight sometime. Again, comment if you're reading. Just let me know you're here.

So it's night, not much of an update. In Jazz I finally got a piece where I could play electric bass, instead of acoustic. What a relief on my fingers.

ciao..

Not so the same.

So i guess my post wasn't as long as I thought it was.
If you're enjoying this, subscribe, or follow it! Make an account easy just up there somewhere. Last night I was watching a part of a concert of The Who that was filmed. I only got to see like 3 songs, but it was cool nonetheless. So i had an epiphany of sorts, realizing that muscular rockstars look just a tad weird to me. That means people like Roger Daltrey and Bruce Springsteen. But I love their music. They're totally awesome, they just look a bit out of place y'know? I dunno, I guess that's just another issue I have with stereotypes. I guess I follow them too much.




Something's wrong... I google imaged Roger Daltrey, and you know how they try and correct you? Well they put a link to image results for Pete Townshend. And it's like, "ok Pete Townshend is really cool, but I'm not searching him, and the name 'Roger Daltrey' is nothing like 'Pete Townshend'". So this might be a huge bias that Google has, or just a flaw in their system. I just noticed this so yeah.

The world is ridden with Rap music and R&B, most of which, I dislike. I look forward to the day when a new genre will take centre stage.

I'm a bassist, I play a bunch of instruments but bass is my main instrument. And now I want a new bass, which I will eventually buy with my hard earned money. (It's a $1,200 bass) I'm dreaming of getting a custom one, that would be nifty.


"You'll never bring me down, cuz I'm so far above you, you think you're strong, but you're nothing to me now, and I hope you will be happy this time around.."

Averagity

G'day peoples,
I can't find my other doodles so that'll be on hold for now.

Anybody see Passchendaele yet?
It's that war movie about Canadians in the battle of Passchendaele. But it's got a love story intwined in the movie too.

I can't wait for friday, it's a provincial pro-d day, so I'll probably end up going to see it. And the theatre will be packed with tiny little kids watching HSM 3.

The sun is creeping through my curtains, soon it'll be shining in my eye. argh. I love the sun.

So it's Sunday where I'm at right now, and I'm just searching for some McFly videos to watch on youtube. Mcfly is a band from the uk, pop-rock-ish. They're not your average boyband, but since they have been labelled as a boyband so many times, their music is my guilty pleasure. Just like Musicals.



Ahh this is a long post. I think.
I'll end it here, and post another part 2 pretty soon.

Enjoy!

Music

Oct 12, 2008

So I'm in like 3 bands.. There's Concert band, Jazz Band, then a Jazz combo I'm in with a couple of my friends.
I'm totally bored atm so I am making this music post.
We're Playing part of the Indiana Jones theme in Concert Band, pretty cool.
I really wanna play Barbary Coast in either Jazz band or our jazz combo.
I wonder if the bass line is hard.. I'm working on The Chicken and that's filled with 16th notes. Jaco Pastorius plays Barbary Coast in like 3rd or 4th position.



That was a video of Mike Dignam playing Alive
He's officially one of my favorite artists, and he's not even uber famous! I've actually talked to him a couple times. It's awesome that he actually talks to his fans. When people get famous they just hire people to run their myspace pages etc.

UGH! I have to do homework and it sucks.
