So now to comment on a few things I’ve left out on the past couple of entries.

The Joy Electric concert at LU was interesting. First there was some who-knows-who local, most likely LU-alumni, band that was not good at all. Their vocalist was ok, but he tried to play soprano sax and he wasn’t good at all, his sax talent seemed to rest entirely on slurring (aka just blowing air and moving fingers, instead of actually articulating notes specifically). Their drummer wasn’t very good either, and neither was their guitarist or their bassist. So that wasn’t a great show. Then was Kerry Knight. Wow…Incredible. He’s one of those unheard artists who truly has talent, but his style is so rare and unusual that it’s not attributed to the normal popular trends. He’s like a white rapping ska guy. I can’t describe it and unfortunately I can’t locate any website with him on it. Oh well.

Ok now about the JE part. First, let it be known that not many people in this world, especially Americans, enjoy the trance techno genre. More people would enjoy straight techno, but JE plays a very smooth rock techno feel that isn’t widespread. So while a portion of the crowd semi-danced and completely loved the show, a great majority of people started being and were dancing around in the retard-est of fashions, completely making fun of the part of the show. Very, very insulting to JE. Somehow JE continued on, doing the best to ignore the that ruined the time for others, so I’m impressed at the true quality of person[s] JE is. But Rianna and I were really…annoyed. We ended up leaving after JE, entirely skipping the punk portion of the show (something I didn’t want to stay around for anyways). Overall, I was surprised how in a drug and alcohol-free environment the students become even more immature, seems almost contradictory to me. So, like I said to some people - the concert was great, but the people sucked.

Now for a personal shout out. This goes out to all of THP [The Hiding Place]. Our parting is permanent now and I know that I will miss you sincerely. Keep in touch (I like getting a real email) and take care.

Notable: I was the only Relay for Life participant in my group that actually cleared the $150, not counting the teacher who organized it for us, who also sold over that amount. I am a candy-selling machine!

Oh and prom prep has begun. This year looks to be highly enjoyable and eventful.
