Went to see The Lone Ranger


I can't believe I went to see that movie...

I printed out a bunch of directions because I hadn't ridden there on my bike before, and the directions were a tad faulty...Thank GOD I had a phone. I kept calling my mom asking how to get to the theater from one crossroad I was at, and got there JUST when the commercials began, but realized I had no bike-lock. O_O

*Que insane Metal15 BELLOW*

I. Was. So. Pissed.

So I called and asked what to do, and my mom said to just lean it against the bike-rack and hope for the best. I suggested hiding it under a bush like I did when I saw Man of Steel, but when I did that my dad wasn't happy about it, for some reason. :/ So, I left it leaning against the bike-rack, hoping it wouldn't get stolen and bought my ticket and entered the auditorium. When I sat down, I felt the phone buzzing, so I had to get up and leave to answer it. It was mom, and she said that dad said that if I don't have the bike-lock then I need to come home.

...

 Me--> o_O

Lucky for my sanity, my mom suggested she drive over to the theater and drop off my bro to lock my bike up, then I could run out and take the key. Unfortunately, the movie had already started playing by this time. So, I chose to miss a few bits of the beginning of the movie, rather than come all the way home seeing nothing. So, after my mom and my bro came by with the lock and key, I was finally able to sit down and watch the movie. I'd only missed maybe 5 minutes of it total. It was great, I didn't think it would be bad(I had heard that it got some bad reviews), and thankfully it wasn't. :) So, after that I rode to a nearby "Kohl's" to get a shirt, but I'm no good at shopping for clothes so I decided to do it at a later date with my mom. So, I took out my directions to get home and found that these ones were ALSO slightly inaccurate. -_- At this point, I was really tired(I pedaled HARD on the way to the theater), and REALLY thirsty, and with practically zero food in my body. The only thing I'd eaten today was a few chips this morning. I was planning to go out to subway on the way home, but obviously that wasn't gonna work, 'cause the boggin' directions were wrong...

*SIGH*

So I called mom again, and tried to communicate on the little old phone near the busy highway, saying lots of "What??"s and "Repeat that??"s. But after a while, I got some directions from her and managed to find a road that she told me I just needed to go straight on to reach the road that our townhouse was located on. Unfortunately this road went up...and up...and up. Too much up. I had to stop because my legs just couldn't do it, so while I was stopped, I called mom again to ask if I was still on the right track. I had difficulty speaking, however, because I was so dry. I was on the right track, so I kept going, lost my direction once, went back, called mom again, went the same way again, turned a few more corners, went straight, and BAM. Made it home.

 o_O

Right off the bat I drank probably too much water and some bread with cream cheese, olives, and mustard. I was sooo hot and sweaty...and nearly dead.

I wonder if it was all worth it... XD

my movie started 45 minutes after noon(I left my house at noon) made it back home around 5 o' clock. O_O Stupid.

Highlights: It was a good movie, I'd see it again. And the bread with cream cheese was no subway sandwich, but at least it was food...

I think I'm gonna go eat some more food, cya...

Another dinner

Went over to my other grandparents house for dinner tonight. :) I love them so much. Neither me(or any of my siblings) have EVER EVER EVER had an argument/cross-word with either of my grandparents. They're just the awesomest grandparents ever. :D No offense to anyone else's grandparents, but I'm sure every grandson/granddaughter feels that way, right? :)

My grandpa is over 80 years old, and yet he can still run around and chase my little cousin around the house. XD I love to listen to him tell stories about his younger days too. He's awesome.

My grandma serves people greater than any individual I've ever known. Whenever I see her she's always getting someone something to drink, fixing someone's dessert, cooking food or helping with my little cousins, so much so that I hardly ever see her eat! GOD BLESS HER, she's so incredible.

Our cello and female vocal recording session

Alright, here's some pics of our session recording some cello and female vocals for some of our songs. We added cello on 6 of our original 10 songs, and only 2 songs with female vocals. The girl playing cello is on the worship team for the church that I attend, and the female vocalist is our friend Christy who has been in a band with our singer in the past.

 Hard to see, but from left to right: My mom, my bro Otto, Jim our singer, my bro Solomon, me, our drummer's brother Drew, and Kevin Nettlingham

Time...The Beginning

Another acoustic Megadeth cover. I like this song, I recently started listening to it. It has a relaxing atmosphere to it, and the lyrics are really poetic. :) Hope you like!

My cover of "The Disintegrators" by Megadeth

I recently started listening to this song, and realized that it's pretty killer. :D It's fast, has pretty simple riffs, a catchy tune altogether. Hope you like. :D


Pics from our video shoot last saturday

Alright here's some pics. :) Apparently the director wanted us to wear some makeup so that we looked like we'd just gotten in a fight, lol, which I can understand, I mean the song we were making the video for is called "Punch Face" :D . We filmed in a storage unit, which was a bit small, but still cool, I think it all worked out. :)

Setting up

I scrapped a lot of skin off my hand from playing bass wildly, lol. :D



And that's it. :D
