The Day the Internet Died.

Today is January 18th, 2012. Congress has been trying to pass a bill that would allow them to censor the web and harm vast amounts of potential American innovation.

But some websites are saying:
Fighting online piracy is important. The most effective way to shut down pirate websites is through targeted legislation that cuts off their funding. There’s no need to make American social networks, blogs and search engines censor the Internet or undermine the existing laws that have enabled the Web to thrive, creating millions of U.S. jobs. -Google


These different bills are not the right way to combat piracy. It is my opinion that our Congress should look for better alternatives, instead of combating our freedoms.

Procrastination

So.

That's right blogger. I admit it.

I did absolutely no homework at all this weekend. None. So now I just get to die in a fire and fdsaghjkl and I don't even know how I'm going to even start GSA this week and just. ugh.

I hate school. I hate tests. I hate being graded.

To illustrate this: I made you a picture. The black is the hatred for school and stuff festering in my life.

The cruddy brown in the middle is the death and the people that I hate.

Overloaded

The amount of homework I have is starting to weigh down on me. Currently, I have:

• Practice Speech piece
• Practice for Governor's School for the Arts audition
• Watch Julius Caesar
• Read Julius Caesar
• Essay for English
• Vocabulary for English 
• Notecards summary for English
• Black history article
• Caesar Movie ?'s
• Caesar Book ?'s

Most of these are the result of Ms. Harness. You hear that Ms. Harness?! IT'S YOUR FAULT I'M STRESSED!!! 

and my procrastination...

ALL-DISTRICT

All-district was a complete success. I sat beside my friend Kaci and some new girl named Paige. She was kinda nice and not at all annoying to sit by. Our director was really awesome. We had like 92385709348 jokes while being in the hotel and etc. Also, I met a coffee maker that was part dragon. When told to do it's regular job, it responded by issuing a burst of unexpectedly warm steam. Band trips for the win.

Also, on a completely unrelated note, I went to an antique shop afterwards with the parentals, and I saw an alarming number of medieval torture devices. More on that later.

Christmas Break

is over...

I'm a more than a little sad. On the other hand, all district is Thursday. So a bunch of band kids get to pile onto a bus and drive to Murray, stay in a hotel room, and generally fraternize with other band kids while playing music and stuff. It's set to be awesome.

On another note, it's 2012. And "I think you should name him Parakeet, because he's not a parakeet! ...He is a parakeet..."

As I was saying, it's 2012. It's a new year, and I'm thinking I'm really going to try to become a better musician this year. That's my goal.

...Yeah that's all I got. Happy New Year!

All-district

It's been a while since we got the results, but I'm going to go ahead and talk about all-district anyway.

I am currently the 4th best trombone in the district! Under Jake Tabor, Kaci Beard and some stupid Freshmen girl named Erin Burba that I hate. With a burning fiery passion. But anyway, we all did awesome at all-district, and Nash said both of us made stupid little mistakes or we would have got 3rd and 2nd. Oh well.

SUMO PAINT PICTURES

Drew all of them on SumoPaint. It's awesome.

All-district today, wish us luck please.
