Thought I'd have a Poison reference there...

I'm gonna be gone all weekend, again. Why?

BECAUSE I'M GOING TO DISNEYLAND!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1

I've NEVER been so excited. I haven't been there since September 1998, almost ten years. The bus ride's gonna be fun too. Leave at 7 AM so we can beat the LA traffic on Interstate 5 at around 5-ish PM-ish. Satruday morning when the park opens I'm wind sprinting to Space Mountain, California Screamin', and Soarin' Over California. Oh yeah, after that, only two weeks of school left not counting finals week. If having fun was illegal, I'd be on death row right now!

This is why jazz band trips are fun . I'm leaving for the University of Nevada in Reno to show off my skillz. The best part? I'm waking up tomorrow at 3:45 AM to leave. There will be many bands, many cute volleyball girls, many ways to lose your money, but only an elite few can go home calling themselves a champ. Missing school shouldn't be this fun !

Awesome...another week in the books. Five more till summer and eventually junior year.

Anyways, as I have been for the past 2 years or so now, I've been checking every band I've heard of out. Recently, a friend in one of my classes told me about this metalcore band called Killswitch Engage. Eventually, I saw they had a pretty sweet song of theirs on GH3, so I gave them a listen. They basically pwn every other band in their genre (metalcore) that makes so-called "music". They're pretty sweet, check 'em out if you haven't heard of them already, unless your ears bleed when you hear some screaming .

I wasn't tagged (yet), but I just felt like sharing 5 things you didn't know about me from my somewhat recent past (around 1997-2000).

1. From as early as I could remember to about when I turned 5 or so, I was the proud owner of an NES system. I remember playing classic Mario, Paperboy (as in Level 4), the Simpsons and a few other games for it. When I was 5, my parents didn't want me to play it anymore because they wanted my focus on school . Their mindset has obviously changed now, though. I haven't seen it since, but it was because it broke.

2. I was completey reckless and lost when I was younger. I couldn't go to kindergraten the first week (around August of '97) without my mom . I grew fine without her though .

3. Sometime when I was 5, I was almost kidnapped. The doorbell rang and without a jolt of hesitation my parents told me not to open the door. I looked out the window and two of the creepist people imaginable were at my doorstep. It weirds me out to this day (thankfully, I don't live there anymore).

4. I LOVED some of the old school anime shows that were on around then, like Pokemon, Cardcaptors, Sailor Moon (YES, I just said it), etc.

5. My half-brother used to be around back then. He is 20 years older than me and dropped out of Chico State when I was born and worked as a truck driver and was a HUGE video game and Star Wars junkie. I remember watching Episode I with him back in '99. He'd always hang around the house and play with me, but I haven't seen him in 8 years now...

Happy April Fools Day everyone!

Anyways, yesterday I was thinking, what would be an epic April Fools prank for tomorrow? Then I thought about YouTube and all of a sudden I was thinking that if they RickRoll'd all their video links that would be the craziest thing ever. Funny thing is when I came back from school today, I went to j00t00b's home page and ALL of the Featured Videos were autolinked to three and a half minutes of Rick Astley pwnage. I must be Nostradamus or sumpthin'... If you checked the comments, they averaged about 2-3 new ones every SECOND. It was insane. I think they're still doing it right now, so if you haven't, you should check YouTube out right now, it's crazy!

edit: I you don't care at all for that, I HAVE to get Rock Band PSP as well as that new Guitar Hero game with songs only by Satch, Steve Vai, Dragonforce, Malmsteen, and Dream Theater. Sounds like arm-swelling fun!

I just got a FaceBook the other day. I've never really said anything about so feel free to add me if you have one (be sure you tell me you know me from GS though). Just thought I'd tell you guys.
