posting spree!

that's what i feel like going on right now.

at the moment i'm kind of wondering what i got myself into.

i've been doing that a lot this year.

so i entered this thing at school called stage challenge.

it sounded kind of fun, and i like acting. plus, shooting people from the top of a prop boat carried by a bunch of backstage people doesn't sound too hard. or does it?

now in hindsight i'm kind of wondering if i should actually do it.

you see, i like my weekends...

no actually it's just cos i've been super busy lately. and it's not that i hate business, it's just that when it all gets busy, i really start to suck at doing one particular thing. like blogging. like band practice. like having a life.

"so," you say, "why don't you pull out and be done with it?"

i wish it was that darn easy.

first of all, as i previously mentioned, it looked kind of fun. and it'd give me something to do at lunch times. at times i feel my social life is virtually nonexistant. haha :)

secondly, and more importantly, the teacher in charge made it sound like a HUGE thing if you pulled out. which it would be i guess....they'd have to go find someone else to go do it, and waste a lot of time because i didn't think i could do it. it'd drive them up the wall, and back down. annnnnnd i'd probably get in a lot of trouble. :( grrrr with all that pre-emptive warning you'd think fickle people like me wouldn't go and put their names down.

i hate my life sometimes.

and this blog post didn't quite turn out the way i thought it'd go.....

oh well,

Jamming

I've been doing so much of it lately...
The good thing is, I think I'm getting a lot better at the guitar. For example we played one of our songs the other day and there was a solo in it I used to think was hard but I totally nailed it. without even practicing it a hundred times first. I was stoked!
The bad thing about it is that I keep jamming out instead of doing band practice, and as a result we're kind of failing at being a band at the moment. We haven't wroten a song for four whole months now and all our old stuff is starting to drive me crazy. Time for something new~

On the plus side, we've had shows coming out of our ears. Since Open Air 2011 we've had a gig at our Youth Group (which was totally insane! We had a moshpit going on with about thirty people!!!) and we played at our Church Camp this last weekend. Ok we kind of sucked at being acoustic but that's only because we're a little out of practice. And this Friday we're playing at our school's concert to raise funds for Christchurch. So that should be fun.
Anyway that's about it from us...what have you guys been up too?
Comment pleeease!
Thanks,

Jordan

Disasters.....

On Febuary the 22nd, a terrible 6.3 earthquake hit Christchurch, New Zealand. The disaster was a shock for everyone. The earthquake claimed 166 lives, and was a nationwide shock. The following pictures show just some of the devastating damage:Christchurch cathedral, on of NZ's landmarks, suffered badly, going from this:....to this.Nearly a week ago, on March 11, Japan was rocked by a huge 8.9 earthquake that triggered a tsunami, washing water 6 miles inland, and setting off 4 nuclear reactors. This disaster was thousands times worse than New Zealand's previous one, with the death toll expected to be above 10,000. These pictures show the devastation of Japan:

To Christchurch, and especially Japan: Our thoughts and prayers are with you, be strong, you will get through this. R.I.P. to all the people that lost their lives in these tragic events.
