SO MY LAST BLOG WAS KIND OF CRAPPY AND ALL OVER THE PLACE BECAUSE TODAY IS A REALLY GREAT DAY BECAUSE I GOT MY FIRST CAR!!! AND IT'S NEW!!
HERE'S SOME PICTURES BECAUSE I'M REALLY EXCITED!

SO THERE'S MY WONDERFUL BRAND NEW, ONLY 250 MILES ON IT MAZDA 3. 

IT HAS AN AUX PLUG SO I CAN LISTEN TO ALL THE MUSIC MR A SHOWS US IN CLASS WHILE I'M DRIVING, (HAD TO INPUT MUSIC INTO THIS SOME HOW)ONCE I GET MY LICENSE ON OCTOBER 14TH OR 15TH!!!

MY FAMILY SURPRISED ME WITH IT AND I WAS CRYING MY EYES OUT.

So now I'll talk about music. I'm definitely going to ACL but I'm thinking about selling my first weekend tickets. I'm not sure if I'm going to try to trade them with another 3 day pass for the second weekend or just sell them. I don't know. I'll blog that next week (hopefully before Friday).

SORRY THIS BLOG WAS SO CRAPPY I'M JUST REALLY HAPPY ABOUT MY NEW CAR :D.

Thanks for reading :)

Have a wonderful weekend :)

Yesterday in class I got the wonderful privilege of folding choir brochures. A lot of my friends are in choir, but I've never heard them sing? I've heard Ysabell (sorry if I butchered her name) sing at foot ball games when we're bored. She has a beautiful voice.

My brother was on choir (Dylan Hooks) his freshman year in Anderson. I'm not sure he enjoyed it all to much, but I'm not entirely sure why.

I guess I should also talk about the movie A Hard Days Night, the humor is old and I don't have a lot of knowledge about things outside school and what people tell me (I have to get great grades and I keep getting moved to Pre- Ap by my mom so I don't have a lot of time for other things). I did think the movie was funny, and I enjoyed it to an extent. I thought Paul's grandfather was very funny. I didn't understand a lot of things though, but that may just be my own stupidity. 

We had a session after the movie where we listened to "new" music. Mr. A brought up a few good bands, I enjoyed the song by Jaymes Young (I think that's his name) and one of Mr. A's friends that I can't recall the name of right now. I thought we were going to listen to his new album, and I was very curios about that, but I guess were saving that for another day.

I'm interested in seeing what kind of music Mr. A likes to play and how the...exciting.. happenings in his life have influenced his music.

Have a wonderful night/ weekend.

OKAY SO MR. A THIS IS THE VIDEO I WANTED TO SHOW YOU IN CLASS. THIS IS A VIOLIN COVER THAT I THINK IS PRETTY GREAT :

I love how happy he is playing this song. I feel a lot of musicians don't really show much emotion while playing because its all flowing into whatever music they're making. I love when people get lost in their music and still have an ear-to-ear grin. I found this video on Tumblr so I can't really say I know much about this artist but I do enjoy this cover. 

I am currently learning guitar and it's so hard for me to get lost in my music or really enjoy what I'm playing because I keep involuntarily thinking about where to put my fingers, am I pressing hard enough, what's the next notes fingering. A, D, and E chords were easy and I was pretty sure I was gonna do great and now we're on minor chords and notes with no common fingers and I'm worried I'm going to have to put a lot of time that I don't have into this class. (Of course I knew I would practice after school, but maybe instead of 20 minutes a day, maybe an hour or so.)
I don't know I just really wanted to show you this video because I remembered Mr. A's "Pop goes the Weasel" on his jaw because of playing viola. 

For the past week we have been talking a lot about who other than the Beatles. Movies, albums, youtube videos, etc. I have respect for the Beatles, and I do like some of their music, but I'm just not their biggest fan. I'm actually watching Full House right now and Joey is trying to trick a man that is going to give Jessi a chance in the music business but would ruin who he is. Joey ended up comparing the man to "The guy who rejected the Beatles" because "Now he's the laughing stock of the music industry." (They actually got Jessi more money AND he got to keep his rock n' roll.) I love this show :).

I had to grow up on the Beatles because my father and brothers ADORED them. Although the more you listen to music, the more sick of it you become. There are a few songs I've always liked. I also think a lot of people like to get Beatles "band merch" when they don't really like them? I just don't understand, like why advertise a band you don't care about?

Have a great night/weekend

This week has been quite stressful for me so I haven't been able to look at a bunch of bands this week. I'm really trying to get some new songs into my library, but after hospital on Monday, standing in the rain on Tuesday, make up work from Monday on Wednesday, my first game (which ended with multiple injuries) on Thursday, and my friends all ditching on me at once on Friday. Now over the weekend I get to do more make up work because I never got a chance to do it on Thursday night. But I get to move upstairs :D YAY!
This blog ended up being me ranting about my week, sorry.
I'll be back with more music next week. Although here's some random songs that came onto my phone on shuffle, Courtship Dating by Crystal Castles, Expecting to Fly by Metric, Spectrum by Zedd (go to sad song, but I only have the acoustic on my phone, it's so wonderful.) and last Drive by Imagine Dragons.
Thanks for reading and dealing with my rant :)
Have a wonderful night/weekend.

For the time I was in class (sports med for my first game :D) we talked about The Beatles. I've always liked them but never been all that interested in them. I grew up on them of course because who didn't listen to The Beatles? I really never knew how huge they really were. I knew everyone knew of them, but I never realized women peed themselves at their concerts! The movie we watched was pretty cool, a little loud, but cool. I found it really interesting to learn about them; although I'm a little worried about listening to their album next class. I just don't want to be bored to death, but maybe it'll be fun :). Who knows?
I think the Beatles are an important part of music history, they kind of set the theme for a lot of bands and music genres. My favorite songs by them would probably be Help and maybe Eight Days a Week (that link might go to a playlist of Beatles, I'm not sure though.)

One day Mr. A talked about how the flow of new music is constant for us, and we are heavily influenced by it. Like in the fall it's one band, then in the summer another. But as he was talking about this he brought up Imagine Dragons. I actually love them!

I was downloading music and I just randomly decided to download all the Imagine Dragons I could! One of my favorite songs is Bleeding Out. I really like the fast, happy, beat; but the lyrics are kind of sad but like... Inspirational.

Imagine Dragons are my go to band when I may not feel to good, I can't help but smile because the music speaks to me so much and I can't help but jam out and sing at the top of my lungs when ever they come on. Some other of my favorites are Tiptoe, It's Time, and maybe Demons. I really adore Demons because of the video. It's in memory to Tyler Robinson, who was fighting cancer.. and lost. But at the end of the video, there's him on a man's shoulders, singing with the band, and when he finishes everyone's chanting his name.

I think Imagine Dragons dedication to their fans, and soulful, powerful lyrics are wonderful and up lifting. They're always there for me when no one else is.

(Also sorry these are late, I realize there's no excuse but I might as well try. I fell asleep and woke up around now (2 am) and freaked out and got right to blogging. Please forgive me and don't give me a 0.)

Have a wonderful weekend!

So, today in class we went over Asians taking over America. I never stopped  to think that all the Japanese and Chinese company's do own U.S land and they could totally use that power to overthrow us! I'm sort of secretly terrified about that now, like some people think the world is secretly ruled by reptile aliens that disguise them selves as people, or Paul Mccartny's dead, or technology is going to advance so far that we are going to have robots and they're going to take over, but I think the Asian's are coming for us.

Conspiracy theories are so interesting to me, I mean who comes up with these? Like some people just sit at home and think of things that they could maybe pull off as true. Then they make documentaries about them! Then other people are like "Oh, okay, this is pretty cool, maybe it's true".

I feel like the U.S is so confident in ourselves, like we have no fear of anyone over throwing us because WHO WOULD DARE TRY!? America the free, home of the brave, you can't hurt us! We got freedom!! 'Merica!
