What ’bout my star @Obama

… I am speechless

original song: download here or listen here

No I did not just triple post in one day.

The Screamer

Seeing as I’m procrastinating and double posting, I would like to introduce the Screamer to you all.

A name people on niconico call him by because of the mask he wears, the Screamer is a very talented violinist who plays anime songs on niconico. Even though I don’t play the violin, I can tell he’s a very good player in terms of technique. Although I can’t say he is amazing, the fact that he has more than 50+ videos of him playing anime openings, endings, and inserts makes him pro.

モザイクカケラ (Mosaic Kakera)

ツキアカリ (Tsuki Akari)

You can find more of his videos on niconico or from Tuengxx

I had to post this song sooner or later, might as well post it now. Nostalgia much.

Rats!

So today in Biology class, we were discussing how some species will decrease their reproductive rate if the population becomes too dense. The catch is that it’s done instinctively, and is intrinsic to organisms itself. One of the examples the bio teacher used was rats. When rats are too crowded, they become antisocial. This causes them to be more violent and kill baby rats, and fight with other rats (which leads to the population of rats decreasing.)

Really now, because human beings are too soft hearted, we screw the Earth over…

I’m dreaming of a white halloween?

Oh snap, it is snowing!
I took some pictures outside. A few was taken down south, and a few were taken up where I live (north essentially.)

Man, forget about halloween decorations, start pulling out the Christmas tree.

This song is the theme for Route 1 in the original games. It is great to hear all of these songs orchestrated instead of their 8-bit form from the Gameboy.

Re: Bark Lake

I am alive! I did not get giardia poisining (a.k.a no projectile vomiting and diarrhea) and I did not catch the flu like Ms. B did. But I had a really boring time, so boring that I was really irritated.

First complaint, who was the retard that suggested that ALL the big ensembles go on this trip? I had to run back and forth from Band sectionals to Orchestra rehearsal, then back for my meals, then back to go to my room. Not only that, there was a HUGE lack of communication. One of the clarinets in orchestra, who was present at Bark Lake, did not show up to ANY of the rehearsals because it was not clearly specified which rehearsal she was supposed to attend.

Second, who was the retard that suggested that we play team building camp activities? Seriously, I have played these games so many times and also, I have better things to do then being reacquainted to people I know. Things such as sleeping, doing some school work (cause next week is my hell week), or even practicing some more. It was agreed that there was NO free time given, so people were not able to fully prepare for talent night, people were late for rehearsal or meals cause they would have had to run from one end of the campsite to the other. There was no time to chill.

Third, who was the retard that suggested the menu? Yeah, Chinese dinner. Chinese people ONLY eat white rice (what was that brown crap? Potatoes…?). Fish balls are made out of “fish” not 90% flour and 10% chicken. Spring rolls are Vietnamese/Thai/whateverthatgeneralarea and do not contain recycled lettuce from the salad bar. There are NO peppers in vegetable stir fry. Sweet and Sour Sauce is not sweet. Cups were disgusting, not clean at all. Plus I could have sworn they left the ketchup out over night cause it was all brown and warm the next day. Yeah, they complain about how eating in the serving area was prohibited due to health issues, but they wouldn’t have health issues in the first place if everything wasn’t garbage. I had to resort to tea cause the coffee would have shit in it, the milk was probably sitting in the dispenser for days, and juice was watered down kool aid. Also, the only thing they served was pretty much potatoes. French fries, mash potato, potato squares, something made out of potato…I was there last year, so I was expecting it to be this bad anyway.

Now to respond to the comments:

I’m not sure about band camp being awesome…
but I know Bark Lake is awesome!! Sarah went to Bark Lake a couple years ago… I think the same time you went. except she was in a different program…

Bark Lake was good when it comes to team building because that’s what it is geared towards, but for band camp, they could have just shipped us out to a city like New York, make us sit through a concert, rehearse in a much better area (a.k.a auditorium instead of a cafeteria.) I think that was what the majority of the people who went, would have preferred. The huge hassle of having three large ensembles go on a trip could have been dealt with better. Either by shafting the orchestra, or doing a large collaboration between choir, symphonic and orchestra. Now that would be intense.

dood band camp is awesome. its like 4 hrs of practicing thne whatever u want to do for the rest of the day. at least thats how it was for us. u could even skip practice lawl.

Unfortunately, they filled up our “free” time with stupid activities. I mean it just ended up being a complete waste of time for the staff, and for us. Also, since when were there nice dorm buildings where they had a kitchen and a TV in the common room and only a small selection of students were able to stay there? Not saying the dorm I was staying in wasn’t bad, but if there was a better option, then why not give us that rather than stay in a shafted dorms and cabins?

AHAHAH SUCKERRRRRRRRRR
Hope you have as much fun as you can with Miss B and Ms Janes.
It’ll be awesome.

Hey! You totally ditched Ms. Deboer in orchestra. (Don’t know if that’s how you spell her name.) Also, I’m not in choir, so I don’t see Ms. Janes, and I spent the entire time hanging out with Orchestra so I didn’t see Ms. B’s bitchy face either.
