Commitments

So me and my band Nightmare's Riot are going to play a show today at the Metaphor Cafe in Escondido, CA. Well, we just had a few issues concerning that...

So we had Cross Country practice today early in the morning (at 7 am to be exact). Since Christian (drummer) is only a manager for the team and not actually a runner, he didn't have to go to practice today. Well, me and Tomas (guitarist) are runners, so we had to go to practice. (he's not very fast, but Tomas is still a runner. :P) And it was also raining too, but running in the rain is epic.

So we talked about how we were gonna get to the gig, since Escondido is about an hour or more away from us. Tomas said he would be able to give me a ride, since I don't have a ride there. Christian told us before that his dad was gonna take him to the show.

Then today after practice, freakin Christian calls me and says that his dad was not willing to drive all the way to Escondido in the rain. Plus, Christian's drums were rusting from the rain from the last show we played at. Christian called the people of NDOE Industries (the industry that books us shows at the cafe) to ask them if he could set up his drums inside the cafe, instead of setting up the drums and waiting outside. They never picked up, nor did they call back at the time. And then Tomas said he was gonna be late to the show.

-___-

So then we decided to not play the show and tell NDOE that we would not be able to make it to the show. We were all bummed out, but this was all Christian's fault. I don't wanna get into much detail why because it would be too much to explain. But yes, it was all Christian's fault.

But then a few hours later, the rain clears and the sun comes up. Christian calls me again and tells me that his dad was now willing to drive. And then Tomas said that he will be able to make it on time to the show. So now, Christian is gonna give me a ride to the show and Tomas will hopefully be on time.

This show better be damn fun to play!!!

MR. VARSITY!!!

Haha that's me. :P

I lettered varsity on my high school's cross country team today! WOOT WOOT! xD I'm so HAPPY!!! The varsity time standard is 18:45 for our 5K course and I got 18:44! :D OMG!!!

Well today was a damn good day (well, other than getting my grades today, but let's not talk about that :P). I f*ckin' lettered varsity!!! XD YAY!!! But before that, I had a wonderful day at school with my GF. <<<333 And I walked up to the gas station and hung out with a friend there. And then I went back to school for the race and I kicked ass! I got 10th place out of about 70 JV guys. And we beat Eastlake High School, which is like icing on the cake. Yum. :P

And my mom bought Halloween candy! MUAHAHA!!! Which reminded me that it will be Halloween this Sunday. I haven't been really thinking about it lately and I still don't know what me and my friends are gonna do. Oh well, we'll see what happens.

And tomorrow me and my band Nightmare's Riot is having a show tomorrow in Escondido at Metaphor Cafe again. I am totally pumped up for it! We play from 7-8pm and it's gonna awesome! So if you live near there, please come and support us!

Umm... yah... that's just about it, I guess. Today was legit. xP

What To Blog About This Time...

Hmm... there's probably a million things that I wanna talk about right now. But I can't really fit it all into words, nor do I feel like it right now. xP Well I'm just gonna blog what's been happening with my life lately. I won't get into great detail about each thing, so don't be surprised when you have a lot of questions in mind.

Let's see... well there's school. Umm.. I have a D in Finite Math, which is stupid. My teacher kinda sucks. He can be cool when he wants to, but his grading scale is whack. I've been getting a lot of work in my classes lately. Like it AP Lit (English). So much crap I have to do in that class. It's ridonkulous. xP

What else... oh yah. Our whole senior class is in trouble for supposedly bullying someone in our class. To make a very long story short, the nominees for Homecoming were recently announced and one of them was this person. Apparently, it was meant to be a joke to nominate him, even though he wanted to be BMOC. I know I'm leaving stuff out, but the whole thing is really dumb. The guy is really cool and I don't understand why it would be a joke. People are stupid. The Assistant Principles and the Principles at our school are stupid. They should all get fired and be replaced with people who actually know what they're doing.

And now the whole senior class has to attend a bullying workshop at school. -___- You can't stop bullying. You can try to reduce, but bullying is an unstoppable force. Everyone's a bully. I'm a bully. You're a bully. My friends are bullies. My family members are bullies. No matter who you are, you are a bully. We are all bullies. It's sad, but true...

What else... so tomorrow my XC team has a meet against Eastlake High. And I will letter varsity tomorrow! I'm excited! But I have to stay calm. I just gotta race like I have and I will get that varsity time! Muahaha!

The XC team is one of the only good things about this school. A lot of good things have come out of this program. I met a lot of great people. I've gotten stronger, faster, more determined, and more responsible. I've learned valuable lessons that I will remember and I even found the girl of my dreams. <3 But it sucks that this is my last year on this team. I'm really gonna miss the team. Those guys and girls are like my family. >.< I love you guys!

Well it's getting late. I would talk about many more things, so maybe I'll continue this tomorrow. Tomorrow is gonna be a great race day for me! 18:45 SON!!! :D

Japanese Heroes & Performers

I really wanna go to Japan. Japan is the #1 place I want to go to before I die. You know why? Because there's always something new there. Something new always pops up, whether its TV, music, radio, etc. Why do I bring this up? Well, as you all probably know, I am a big fan of Super Sentai, the Japanese parent of Power Rangers, and Morning Musume, an all girl Japanese Pop group. And both Super Sentai and Morning Musume have brand new things to share to not only to Japan, but to the whole world....

Let's talk about Sentai first.

This year's Sentai team Tensou Sentai Goseiger is teaming up with last year's Samurai Sentai Shinkenger in Tensou Sentai Goseiger VS Shinkenger The Movie:



Japanese magazine scans also show that there will be an evil ShinkenRed. It is unsure if ShinkenRed turned evil or if he is just another evil Ranger, but either way, he looks pretty damn cool and seems to be that he will be pretty bad ass:



Now for Morning Musume.

Tsunku (MM's producer) has announced that Morning Musume will be releasing their 44th single called "Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game". Their profile picture on the official Hello! Project Website has changed and it is of the members in their outfits for this new single:



Covers for this new single have also surfaced online. They are small, but someone is bound to find larger versions of the covers and will release them onto the internet very soon. To look at these covers, click HERE!

Morning Musume's Generation 6 members, Kamei Eri, Michishige Sayumi, and Tanaka Reina will have one last Photobook together before the graduation of Kamei Eri and 8th Generation members JunJun and LinLin. The photobook will be called "Morning Musume Kamei Eri, Michishige Sayumi, Tanaka Reina PB Kamei Eri Graduation Commemoration Hello Hello! Forever" It is set to be released November 12, 2010.

Also, Morning Musume is part of the cast for the movie Keitai Deka The Movie 3: Morning Musume Kyuushutsu Daisakusen! ~ Pandora no Hako no Himitsu~. As the title suggests Morning Musume will be part of the plot of the movie, which seems to be about a team of three detectives who are in charge of a case where Morning Musume mysteriously disappears from a bus. Hopefully a trailer will appear soon so we can see more of what the movie is about and how MM will be like in the movie. The movie will be in theaters beginning February 5, 2011:



And lastly, a radio preview of Muten Musume's (Morning Musume's food-promoting counterpart) coupling single "Kura Sushi Bikkurapon!" has been released. This will be the coupling single to their first single "Appare Ksiten Zushi!", which is set to be released on October 27, 2010. Here is the radio preview of the c/w track:



And that was new stuff from my favorite Japanese Heroes & Performers. :D

I am PUMPED!!!

Today my band Nightmare's Riot is performing at a birthday party for one of our friends. It's gonna be super awesome! Then our friend's band called Neo-Roma is going to be playing after us.

Then tomorrow, we are playing at the Metaphor Cafe once again in Escondido, CA. It's gonna be great to play there again. We are playing at 5pm, so if you live in the area, come out and support us! :D

And for both shows, we are going to play the same set with the exception of one song. Today's show is basically a band practice for tomorrow's show, except with people watching us. :P

And my GF's going to sing for us in one of our songs. I know she's gonna do great. <3

So yah, I freakin' PUMPED! And also, our EP "This Chaos That You've Made" is now available for FREE!!! If you know me or any o fmy band mates, contact us and we will give you a free copy.

NR FOR LIFE SON! XP

All For Her

I was planning on posting a blog post up yesterday, but I couldn't find the time to do so. So here I am typing this up. Today was the second day back to school. It started out awesome, then got kinda suckish, but turned out to have a good ending.

In the morning, I had to drive myself to school and I will explain why in a bit. I spent most of the day with my love (excluding class time) during school. It was an awesome day with her. <<<3

After school, my band Nightmare's Riot auditioned for "Otay's Got Talent" which is our high school's talent show. I had to drive Christian's drums to school because he didn't have a ride. The auditions were HORRIBLE!!! D:

We auditioned with our song "Kid Pride" which is our favorite song to play live. So many things went wrong. First, Christian couldn't freakin hear Tomas's guitar so he was off beat a few times. The judges were saying that Tomas needs to look at the audience more. They were also saying that to me, which pissed me off. There was no microphone stand, so someone had to hold the mic for me the whole damn song. And he was short! The mic to me felt like it was going lower and lower!!! >:( Therefore, I couldn't f*ckin look up to the audience cuz I had to force my head down towards the damn mic that was a foot away from my damn mouth!!! It pissed me off when the judges gave me that critique afterwards.

After that, I talked to my GF and now I feel a lot better. :) I just hope we make it into the actual talent show. I wanna show our school our full potential.

18:45. All For Her. Loves u my love. <<<3

Trapped In Oblivion

So today's the last day of break. F*ck. Now I really don't wanna go back to school. The thought of sitting in class and worrying about schoolwork is bleh. :/

I never got a chance to rearrange my Power Rangers/Super Sentai Collection! D: DAMNIT! It's still a mess! And I never got to put up my Power Morphicon 2010 Compilation Video on YouTube. I was working on it this morning and I thought I would be able to finish it and put it up. But I have to separate it into two parts because there's a lot I want to share with you all. Now did I get to watch Goseiger! >:( SON OF A BATCH A' COOKIES!

Here's my VIDEOS IN THE WORKS list:

1. My Power Rangers/Super Sentai Collection 24
2. Power Morphicon 2010 Compilation
3. 1996 Deluxe Zeo Red Battlezord
4. Gekiranger GekiChopper Vinyl Figure
5. MMPR German Talking Red Ranger

Anyway, that has nothing to do with what I wanna talk about now.

Girls are confusing.

So apparently I'm oblivious. For a while, my girlfriend has been telling me this. Apparently she's been giving me "clues" as to why I'm oblivious all this time. Either girls are confusing or I really am oblivious. I believe it's both.

So my GF's friend talked to me today after Cross Country practice...

GF's friend: "So how are you two doing?"
Me: "Good."
GF's friend: "How do you feel about her?"
Me: "Umm..."
GF's friend: "It's okay, you can tell me."
Me: "I love her."
GF's friend: "How much?"
Me: "A lot."
GF's friend: "How do you think she feels about you."
Me: "She loves me too."

She smiled angelically after that. Then she goes on to tell me why I am apparently oblivious. I'll put it in simple terms... I have to pay attention to my GF more.

Wow... I really wasn't expecting that.

To be honest, I thought I've been paying A LOT of attention to her. It was my friends that I thought I wasn't paying much attention to. Well, I guess I have to pay more attention to her, which I really don't mind. :) My friends understand.

Well now I know why I'm oblivious. I'm in her <3.

Well, that's all I wanted to complain about today! Thanks for reading! XP

Ten Ten Ten

Happy 10-10-10! :D

So tomorrow is the last day of break from school. I kinda wish we had at least one more week of break. I know it will feel good to go back to school to see everyone again, but I still have stuff to do that I never got a chance to do this break. I mean, I could wait one more week to see my friends. :P It's gonna feel like I never left school, like how it always feels when coming back to school from break.

I'm glad I finished all my homework today. Now I have a day where I don't have to worry about homework before we have to go back to school to learn and work some more. -____-

Umm... there's really nothing else to say... I just got bored so that's why I'm typing this post. xP

Let's see... here's a song preview of another one of A Day To Remember's new song from their upcoming new album. This song is called "2nd Sucks". I can't wait to listen to the whole song; it sounds so awesome:



And a concert preview of Morning Musume's upcoming new single has been released. The single is called "Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game" and its release date is November 17:



Umm... yah... that's it for now... xP

Two New Videos & Two New Gigs!

Homework sucks.

So this is the second week of our short break from school. And yet, I'm still doing homework. I've been procrastinating for a few days. The last time I did homework during the break was probably a week ago from today. I did only some of my homework then and I forced myself to do homework today. I'm still not done.

Other than that, the break has been pretty good so far. Cross country has been good for me, even though I'm still trying to catch up after being injured for a whole track season. Umm... I'm hanging out with my GF more, who I happen to be talking to right now as I am typing. <3 I've discovered new music that I listen to a lot now. Umm... yah...

I've uploaded two new videos. The first one is of stuff I got a long time ago. And one of those things I lost:



The second one I am extremely happy that I got to upload it. :D Back in March, I mentioned a video that I was working on called "Power Rangers ANGRY PEACE OPV". Then I said that I would have to hold off on uploading it because of the huge video file it was and that it would take a whole day to upload to YouTube. But I was bored one day and I was able to find a way to upload the video in about 30 minutes. So here is my newest (and possibly my best) Power Rangers music video that I have ever made:



And in the world of music, my band Nightmare's Riot is playing two shows in the next few months! :D

First, we are playing at the Metaphor Cafe once again in Escondido, CA. The last time we played there was in January and I'm ready to play there again. :D It's a good venue to play at. We are playing on Sunday, October 17, and we play at 5:00 pm.

The next one is on Sunday, November 7, at 2:00-3:00 pm at the Bonita Library in Chula Vista, CA. This is our own show and anybody is invited! The onlt band is playing is us so please come and support. :D
