well

today was pretty rocking.

literally. finally had time to chill out and jam in band practice. :) was really fuuuuunnnn! we mucked around with this song so much that any listener will no doubt be very confused. Also it's probably the only song i've ever written with no recognizable bridge.

i think we got the most of it down though. even if it does include a shredding solo i haven't quite got the hang of, a couple of keychanges, some very (um) intresting effects, and a little reggae breakdown in the middle of it. i guess thats just how we roll. haha.
na seriously it's great stuff to get writing again. even if it is a mishmash of lyrics and tunes. it's something where there once was nothing, and it feels so awesome to get back into the habit. love it.

so yep. had a absolutely lovely day on the whole. made movies with my mates (something i haven't done for way to long), jammed out some more on the guitar, played soccer on the street, and ate way to much chocolate. :)

mm. not quite sure how to finish this so i will just say hasta la vista.
also happy birthday to daniel too! he has the skills for somehow managing to wind up with the same birthday as me. oh and it's brad dring (rapture ruckus)'s birthday too! man the 31st seems to be the day rockstars are born haha.
night peoples!

farewell 16.

whoo it's my birthday tommorrow!
can't believe i will be 17 eek it sounds so old...
wonder what will happen in the next year of my life?
will it be good, or bad?
will it be quiet, or rocking?
will Mayday get bigger, or smaller?
who will i meet? whose lives will i touch? what friends will i make?
all i know is that i'm looking forward to it.
no-one likes growing up. but there's a time when you accept that everything changes. the world goes on turning. people keep living.
so we do what we can in the time that is given to us.
bring it on.

i wish..

..i wish i could find my capo cos i really feel like playing "echoes"!

hi peoples

wow i haven't blogged for ages.
i usually start off like that ^^
anyway....
school is still not getting much easier, but at least i'm getting used to it. got a merit today for my essay in english so i was pretty stoked. not finding the social stuff to well though.
i mean i've made a couple of friends but not many and i still feel like an outsider even though i've been there for a month...
gosh i wish i could talk as well as i can write.
:(
right so band stuff.
our recording was exallontay! soooo much fun! really enjoyed it. now we're just waiting for the finished product so we can put artwork and stuff on and make it looks flash. also we've started writing a new song which is AWESOME! love writing new stuff! the problem is that we don't have much time to do band practice at the moment cos in the week school and homework stuffs up our days and i'm pretty much fully occupied with les miserables on the weekend. oh well only a couple more weeks of that left i guess. if anyone who is in new zealand is reading this, you fully should come. it's going to be an epic show! come and watch me get shot!! (note: this sounds bad but i don't actually die so i think we'll get away with it.... :] haha!) oh yeah and all you Americans out there can come to if you want. :)
soooo hows everyone else going?
i was going to write for longer but i can't really think of anything to say...
pretty excited that it's ma birthday in only 4 days! i'm going to stay home and play music all day! (something i've wanted to do for AGES!!) it's gonna be sweeeeeet!
love to all,

Jordan
