Hold Nothing Back
Just for an update on what’s going on with me and my life. I’ve been wanting to write a post for a little while now, but as usual, I don’t really have any specific stories to tell. Just the usual random thoughts and the like. So I still really like my job being a pizza delivery driver. I make good money. It’s relaxed. I don’t have to worry about anything when I leave work. The only thing is the gas and the miles on the car. But other than that it’s great.
Bishop’s Collar had a couple shows last week, wednesday at Mac’s Bar, and thursday at the Belmont. they both went quite well. the only thing with the show at the Belmont was that we had an audience of the other bands and the employees of the bar. That’s about it. but it was a good practice. haha yeah. We’re still slowly working on getting our cd recorded. Hopefully it’ll be done soon. I want a copy.
I also went to the DCI competition in Battle Creek on saturday. That was awesome. and another big regret of mine. The regret being not following through on trying out for a drum corps. ugh. That would have been awesome. BUT i get to be a part of the Eastern Michigan University’s marching band this year. Hopefully they’re good. though it’s still not the same.
Here’s me and a GV friend watching the comp.
There are a few things in my life that tend to “realize” or guess at the thought of what I think I’m realizing. the first thing, and most random which i’m not going to explain but i just want to say it for the fact of saying it, “I never had a chance.”
Another thing is that i’ve gone to riverview for almost four years now. 3 of which i was in one of the bands. I was a part of something. i felt like i belonged. But since, I’ve gone on saturdays and not been a part of anything. I’ve wanted to. asked to be in a couple things, was turned down. which i understand. I’m not saying that i should have been otherwise. but since going and not being a part of anything, i’ve felt like such an outsider. After going there for so long now, you’d think i’d know a few more people. i don’t. i know who i knew before going and a couple people in the band/sound people. so that totals maybe 10 people. probably less. but not even all of those people we’d talk like friends. it’d be the conversations like, ‘how are you, how’ve you been since last time we talked. oh that’s cool. alright well i’m going to go.. ‘ i hate the fact that it’s so hard to be a conversationalist. making friends shouldn’t be this hard. keeping them shouldn’t be either.
Tuesday friends are awesome, GV friends are awesome.
