I should get my learner's.......
I stayed up late last night to watch the election and thank goodness, National came in. Hopefully they do make a change.One thing though. Apparently they're going to raise the driving age to 18.
Dumb.
I havn't been feeling to good lately so we didn't practice anything today not that we had much time anyway. And I felt slightly better after playing my guitar too.
Obviously.

Our new keyboard is dumb..
We have a new keyboard on our computer. I hate it. The a, n, e, and m have faded away. And it makes stupid noises when you press a key. And the backspace button is tiny! Its annoying.

politics and writing lessons
I've been real slack lately at writing my blog, but once again there's absolutly nothing to talk
about.
Actually I take it all back. There's always something to talk about.
The hard thing is deciding what.
Like I could be blabbering on about nothing for ages and everyone reading this would say boring and skip to the stellar kart blog.
Enough of the writing lesson.
Oh actually I guess tonight is pretty important cos it's election day.
Now i want to get this straight. I don't like politicians. As a general rule they're always covering something up, slandering each other, or making dumb laws.
The thing which annoys me most is the fact that they don't seem like real people who actually want to do what the people want.
Enough of the politics too.
Still, I'm hoping that National get in. I really am wanting a change for the better for New Zealand.
We'll have to wait and see what happens.

P.s there is something funny about the election. someone found a bobblehead of john key in the supermarket and we're going to play a real fun game with it at youth group it's going to be a blast!

Why I don't like reggae
Nothing to report really.
Except I learnt some more reggae today.
So did Nate.
I still don't think we'll put any reggae in our band. Not that I have anything against it. It's just not my style.
End of story.
I'd rather play Tears in Heaven any day.
Actually, to tell the truth, it is quite fun to play cos it sounds so (dare I say that word) funky.
And it's harder than my usual boring down-stroke guitar playing. So it gives me a challenge.
I just don't like listening to it.
Or maybe it's just Spacifix I don't like listening to.
There's actually this kind of annoying reggae song which used to be on the radio all the time, which I thought was pretty cool actually. It was by some guy called Taki Tanne.
Anyway that's quite enough about reggae.
Just goes to show that there's not anything else to write about except my personal tastes in music. So while I'm here I might as state a few more bands whose music I think just rocks.
Daughtry would have to be there. And Kutless. Kingston rock too. I quite like Mumsdollar as well, Fm Static are still the meanest, this Kiwi band which I have not seen yet or even heard much (unfortunatly) called Arm's Reach, Paramore are cool too. And there's this real cool band I've discovered lately called Search the City who sound really awesome so I'd pop them up there too. If you havn't heard Son of a Gun, then look it up, you won't regret it!
If you like rock that is......................

We're finished!
Man I'm stoked.
We have finally finished our song after about two weeks of writing, practicing and refining, the 8th song we've written, and musicly the best.
We just completly rip it up when performing it.
Anyway, it took forever to finish but it was worth it. Next time we might fix up one of our older ones; probably a slow song cos we've only got one of them.
Here's the words:
Moonlight Shadows
I'm wide awake/I can't escape/ The shadows of the moonlight/ And I'll accomplish/ My final wish/ To see the sunrise
But I'm not going to break/ It's said and done/ If I can't walk away/ Then I'll run
Where's the sense in it all/ I wasn't planning to fall/ But it seems I've seen my final defeat/
And now I'm slipping away/ Is this my final mistake/ I'm so incomplete/ I need you with me/ Cos I can't see the end of this mystery
Break the chains/ I need a change/ Will I be stuck forever/ And once again/ I'm to blame/
Can we get it back together
I haven't got this far/ Just to fall apart/ I need you more than anyone knows/ I see the truth in these moonlight shadows

I was so glad when we'd finished it. Bring on the next one!!

the new car
wow we have a new car now! Its a real flash Subaru. The seats look they were made for boy racers. They probably were actually.
Anyway Mum and Dad picked it up on Sunday. Unfortunately there wasn't enough room in the car for me and Dan so we went to William & Mitchell's and bounced from the shed roof onto the tramp which kept us occupied for four hours!
Anyway Mum took us for a spin in the car today for the first time. It had a cd player so we put on Daughtry. It was awesome. And now Beka's claimed the other car so we can go on heaps of mean roadtrips.

My weekend
Ok I have been studying my brain out this weekend. Along with playing pool, ping-pong, embracing my pyromaniacness, not txting anyone for a full day, and what's worse not touching my guitar AT ALL for a whole day!!!!!!!!! =O =O =O =O
Along the way I managed to cook up some mince (which apparently with the right combination of mince, nachos and sour cream tasted like catfood- I was severely insulted I tell you), managed to avoid getting pulled out in rips, stared at stars, tried whirling a fire-stick, got in numerous arguments about Pirates of the Caribbean 3, got up to question 120 in the 2006 version of the road code, ate lolly cake, looked at stars, slept under a ping-pong table, wrote out a sign in charcoal, played the most funny game of Supersnap, heard crazy storys involving rubber chickens*, got mad cos I missed a Kingston concert =(), listened to music lots, sung happy birthday, ate M+Ms, jumped over waves and got very wet, watched people try to light some sand on fire, avoided getting sunburnt, saw the coolest sunrise (it was red as!!!) got my photo taken, forgot my toothbrush, had to brush my teeth with my finger, walked through cutting grass in the dark, watched a very funny spoof of the Terminator, used a wooden plak as a fireman's pole, sunk some pool balls, read reader's digest, listened to 12 days of Christmas by Relient K which is the funniest song ever, had milo, used most of my phone's battery by playing a game, and had the best weekend I've had in a long,long time!
