Because my house has a strict NO TV policy in place my ability of being able to view glee has become subject to the feelings of the internet. Apparently the internet doesn't like me much. It freezes, stalls, restarts, stalls, quits, dies, fails, and anything else it can dream up. So, i suppose you could say that the internet just doesn't want me to watch Glee. Which I guess I can sort of understand...except I don't. WHY IS THE INTERNET TRYING TO DEPRIVE ME MY CHANCE TO WATCH GLEE??? No glee makes me upset...and means that half of my friends will spoil the show for me...bother.
But what can you do, if internet says no...I must simply wait it out. -jerks-
In other news. Remember that guitar class I have? The one where I said it would be a slack class? Yeah...apparently I was wrong. Tomorrow we have presentations, now I'm good with presentation, I even have a HUGE BIG presentation ready which I was totally pumped to give until oh about 30 minutes into the class this morning. Of the three presentations we saw ALL were casual, semi-prepared and pretty good. Now it makes my idea seem WAY too over the top. Which means that my bad guitar playing will show through...unless I just go with what I had planned anyways. It was gonna be a News Cast, a presentation with momentum, told from July 20th, 2000, rather then currently in a guitar class...Maybe I'll still go through with it. I think it would be a good idea...
Sigh, Glee is STILL loading.
What else? Oh, we haven't had any substantial english homework for the past 4 days...I am deeply concerned. And I MEAN DEEPLY! There is no way our teacher who's reputation is built on the giving of homework would suddenly stop...unless she was lulling us into a false sense of security just so she can drop the biggest bomb shell EVER! I'm not talkin' homework people, I am talking MEGA-PROJECT bomb shell. It's coming...I can feel it...but of course she won't admit to a thing, and all of us are left guessing.
My Guitar Hero is Carlos Santana...thought you all should know. He's done a lot for the musical world! His style was never clearly defined by what the musical genres of the time were, as he combined Jazz, Rock and Latin into a intense combo that pretty much was a genre all of its own. And of course critics of the late 60's and 70's hated it, saying he was sitting on the fence, not choosing to be truly Jazz or Rock...odd seeing as Rock at the time was just experimentation...you'd think they'd be pretty accepting. Of course by the time the 80's rolled around, you know the heavy metal era, Santana was STILL going strong his records were reaching top 20 or top 10 doing the same thing he always did, combining and experimenting to create bigger and better things. Add more electric guitar but not being afraid to keep the Latin/Jazz combo strong what just what a generation of youth wanted. By the 90's, Santana was still playing his music, at a time where superstar 80's musicians were falling behind boybands and girlbands in popularity, Santana's popularity only increased. By 1999 he got his first #1 album in the US with SMOOTH (it went platinum) it was followed by Maria Maria a year later ALSO getting #1 in the US and also going platinum. Even as recent as 2008 has Santana been creating and making music, and his popularity hasn't died. His is a message of dedication, risk-taking and a little bit of stubbornness, but artist love to jam with him to learn from his styles and he from theirs. Santana's music is constantly changing and growing, but it still has the same latin/jazz feel lying at its roots.
That's basically what my presentation is gonna be for Guitar tomorrow! (wow...that sounds SO BORING)
AH well...YUP IT'S STILL LOADING -sigh-
AP tests are coming up...yeah I'm starting to feel the pinch. It's gonna be one WILD ride as those start coming up. I dunno how I'm going to do on them, but I plan to give up a lot of free time to get some studying done. Granted I only have one...and it's Calc. But this could make or break me for university...this it the big times!
Ugh, forget this, I'll stop boring you people, and watch the loading bar move at its snail pace...grumble...
Signing Off,
Gleeless DG
