  If anyone has ever heard of Edguy, a Swedish power metal band, or Dragonforce, the worlds fastest power metal band(and possibly fastest, period), then you know how amazing these musicians truly are and respect them the way they should be respected. Their career doesn't revolve around plastic boobs and cheesy love lyrics sung by someone in need of digital, vocal touch-ups. They have passion and it shows. I seriously suggest that any avid rock listener who is willing to expand their horizons across the Atlantic should definitely purchase a CD by one of the following bands: Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Edguy, Dragonforce, Evergrey, Falconer, Firewind, Hammerfall, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Thunderstone, Gamma Ray, Nevermore, etc. Their talent is beyond any pop star or mainstream rocker out there. So anyway, it has been a while since I've really written anything, and I think that is because I've been out almost every night since my last post doing something with friends.
I've also been waiting to get some new guitar strings... I really hate the B string(just because it seems to break the most) but have managed to bum around in 'drop d' and bide my time. It basically just means no soloing. *sniffle* The one thing I can do somewhat decently! Haha. Speaking of guitar, I am supposed to teach this girl I've never met in person how to play.
Her name is Donna, and she seems to really want to learn, so I might as well. Never know, maybe Synthatonic will need a rhythm guitar in the future? My dad had a talk with me, and I should really begin to gather applications for college. The bad thing is that I've not even taken the SATs once. Just PSATs. I could be screwed over, but I still have some time.
I hate last minute things but sometimes it is a must. Then again, if it is last minute it never usually bothers me. I was looking at Boston College, NYU, Rochester(mainly because my dad mentions it all the time), and of course Dickinson. NYU looks a little too difficult, as does Boston College, so Dickinson is my best bet right now. I don't know if I want to leave state. If I ever need financial help or something like that and I was at Dickinson I could always drive five miles and be home.
Then again, if I get in trouble it is almost guaranteed my parents will know, and there would be more pressure on me to do well. I really don't know what to do... if anyone has any comments please post them. As simple and menial as it may sound, comments make me happy. Simple pleasures in life I suppose. That's about all that has been happening, truthfully. I've had writers block when I have tried to write lyrics to the songs I write, so if I could get over that maybe my band will have the CD out soon.
Speaking of the band, I should look for a keyboardist. Maybe Ryan Ammerman(sp? ) because I know he loves Stratovarius and I know he plays keys. Who knows? We'll see, but for now, I'm off to sleep or eat or something. Ciao.
