NO WAY!!!

I was trolling the Internet after work. Seemed like a normal trip 'round the way, at the time. But then, it happened.

I ended up on some band's site, which linked me to the entertainment area of the local paper. So, I went. While there, I ran across an old-ish article about this singer-songwriter. And I read some about her, and I am about to scroll down the page when I see that she has a song called "Love, Love, Love," just like I do.

So, out of curiousity, I Google her.

I end up on her web page. I check out the song. At first, nothing memorable. Kind of a boring song.

And then... it happens. She sings: "Should have seen it comin'..."

What?!?!? That's a little hard to swallow: two songs with the same title and with that line in them?

Then, later in the song, she starts singing about dreams, about crying, about mistakes... et cetera. There is just WAY too many similarities for this to be a coinicidence. Of course, no one believes me, but, just like a mother knows that her child needs her even when they are miles apart, a songwriter knows her own material.

And this was MY song, redone, rehashed, and ruined.

Merry (Belated) Christmas

Well, Merry Christmas, peoples. :)I'm late, I know. Things were weird-crazy around here. Between band practices, the end of school, selling my laptop, Christmas shopping, getting ready to record (AGAIN!!!), and typical life stuff (re: dental work), I haven't had time to post.

Biggest news: I supposedly failed one of my courses last semester. It wasn't my work, though: I got all 100s on my tests, did all the papers... et cetera. No, the problem was that the professor was locked out the class (it was online) and he didn't make everything available to people, so he cancelled 12 of the tests, 9 of the papers, blah, blah, blah. I thought that everything would be fine, but, it wasn't, 'cause the software that runs the class is flawed, and, instead of knowing that it was supposed to disregard the tests and papers he cancelled, it counted them and gave both me and Kenny (who was also taking the class) an F. It sucks, but I figure that they'll figure it out. *sigh*

Anyway, I am now back to work. I feel like taking this week off, too, but I may do some stuff. I am still waiting for a payment from a client who has been promising to pay me for weeks. I could REALLY use the money now. Instead, I will fall back on some work for another client who ACTUALLY PAYS!!!!!

I Don't Know...

The dentist did more work on the tooth that they did the root canal on... finishing it up, so to speak. It is not finished. They just drilled some more and packed it today and then put on another temporary filling like the old one. The caps that they did earlier still hurt when I chew. It's stupid.

I am kinda pissed off at the drummer. He whines and moans about being lonely, and then, when I offer to have him hang out with me and my family (at my Mom's or at my house with my cousins), he declines, saying, "I want my OLD friends!" And I am thinking, "WHY?!?! These are people who took you for everything you were worth (especially the girls), did drugs around you, drank around you (all while you were trying to stay clean), and got you fired from your job. Then, when you moved, they took EVERYTHING you left! And you want to be with these people WHY?" To top that off, he is mooning over some girl who, one minute, he claims to love, the next, he claims is not worth his time. One minute, she is desperately in love with him (he says); the next, she is sleeping around with anyone who will feed her. WHICH IS IT?!?!? And why should you CARE?!?! This is why I am anti-social. People SUCK!

I wrote a new song and showed it to the band. The drummer likes it (which is why I haven't beheaded him re: above comments). Guitarist and bassist seem like they don't like it, which annoys me because it is a really interesting song. It is called "Riding the Bell." The title is a metaphor for anything that you use as an excuse for your failures or anything that you use as a crutch. It could also be taken as That One Moment, That Choice that you make, whatever... but, using an analogy, like when, in days of old, events and happenings were signalled by the ringing of the bells. Anyway. I wanted to play it at the New Year's Eve gig, but I have just dropped it. No one else wants to. **sigh**

Last Day

Today is my last day of school for the semester. I don't have to do any school work until the 18th of January (or something like that). I am relieved. Tired, but relieved. I finished up all my postings, tests, and papers in my online class; the NPO web site is as good as done (I'll be finishing it up Tuesday or Wednesday) and I finished writing the paper for it last night; my Bachelor's research project is done, and I finished the last paper in it tonight.

I got two more teeth fixed last Tuesday (forgot to mention that, I think). I feel like I got punched in the face. On Wednesday, they finish the root canal, and then I only have four fillings and a cap left and I am done. What a relief. I am so thankful that my grandma and grandpa decided to help with this. I could never have gotten a better gift. Ever.

The band will be recording on Thursday, January 5. THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME (she swears).

I am REALLY tired.
