As The Semester Continues

Well hi guys! It's been a little while. I was sitting here listening to Dream Theater, after coming back from the SU Homecoming parade.

The guys at Phi Mu Alpha and SAI collaborated to make a float for the parade, and I guess the theme was "Low-Emission Transportation". They made a make-shift Flying Machine, which actually turned out to be quite the crowd pleaser. The kids along the way were pretty upset we didn't have any candy, but the float had moving wings and a sail. So I guess that makes up for the lack of candy =P. I was the only PM there, but the others had legit excuses, so it's no big deal.

I'm so happy that I brought up my "archive" of Dream Theater/Mike Portnoy CD's and DVD's. I was so used to having them on that little shelf in my room back at home. I also have my Dream Theater poster hanging up on my closet door here in my dorm. Gotta have the Dream Theater memorabilia of course =P

So by now (I had to come back to this post), we performed at our PM recital. Good news! It went very well! I think we exceeded all of the brothers' expectations for sure. I performed a snare solo piece, and the other PM's also performed their own individual works. Other than that, we performed group pieces as a PM class, some with the help of the brotherhood. We ran into a few minor issues here and there of course, but as a whole we were all really happy. Congratulations to all of the PM's!!!

Life's been pretty chill, even with all this Alpha shit Kody and I have been doing. Well, I shouldn't say "shit" per-say, but it's been keeping us busy. Eh, it'll be worth it for sure. All of our friends have been enjoying life, I think. Kevin and Stephen pretty much live in our room now. Zach is here quite a bit as well. So I'd say the three of them have pretty much set up camp here. They really don't have very much to do, and that's fine, because Kody and I don't really mind their company. In fact, we enjoy it a lot. They're always pretty good about listening to the two of us when we need them to get out for whatever reason, or when we need to use our computers. I'm glad I have friends who aren't a bunch of bitches n' hoes. For sure.

Oh, haha, I've been listening to a lot of T.M.Revolution lately. For those who don't know who he is, he's one of the more popular pop music acts in Japan. He's also the singer/leader of my 2nd favorite band, Abingdon Boys School! XD God I'm such a junkie when it comes to anime/J-pop/J-Rock etc. Of course, I could go on and on about all that. I guess I used to include what was happening in that side of my life in my updates back on my Xanga. Hope and I went through our old Myspaces a few weeks ago. Oh god haha that was an experience. We could tell we've definitely changed since then. Can't help but miss some of that though. But anyways, I might just start doing that. My anime life has been fairly uneventful ever since the pledging process began. That's okay though. I have years to watch anime, but a limited amount of time to enjoy Phi Mu Alpha here on campus. Yes, I know, I'm actually putting anime on the back-burner for once. Shocking, eh?

Well folks, I suppose that's it for today. Took me over a month to update again, but I still love blogging! Be back soon, I hope.

'Til Then...
