So, yesterday was the Truckee High talent show. I ended up being part of two acts: I sung 3 barbershop songs (Star Spangled Banner, Hello Mary Lou, and a parody of Connie Island Baby) with the usual crew of Dick Ben Alex and Owen, and played guitar in "Facundo Cries Freedom (The CFC's)" with Sam Joe Tony and Brian to the tune of some old 50's or 60's song "If You Wanna be Happy for the rest of Your Life." Our Barbershop group ended up getting thrid place Whoohoo! Pretty good - especially considering we practiced for a total of about a half an hour for the show (we already knew the songs). Andy played the accordian, which was totaly awesome, but he didn't win like we were expecting. I borrowed an MxPx CD from Katelyn, and it has some awesome stuff on it. I'm really getting into music again.

Howdy, I just bought a new CD, "Borders & Boundaries" by Less Than Jake - sure, I've heard their name, but I don't think I've listened to them before. I like it. It kinda sounds like the band Five Iron Frenzy ? with the horn section and all, but a little more distortion - In comparison, Less than Jake doesn?t talk about Bacon Bits and Jalapeños (less creative lyrics), and they don?t have religious songs. I usually like to avoid the topic of religion, so listening to religious music, that I don?t necessarily agree with anyway, doesn?t really work ? I don?t know. I?m kinda being pushed from a couple directions. For one, I like Five Iron Frenzy?s musical style a lot, but I feel like I shouldn?t really listen to them because I don?t really agree with the lyrics and it might give people an incorrect (not necessarily bad, but incorrect) impression of me. I?m hardly religious, and I think a person?s religion should be a subtle, personal thing; blasting religious music doesn?t really fit that profile. What I kind of have done in the past is separate their religious music from the not, and listen to one category while the other sits. I think I?m just being too self/image-conscious. Hmm, how did this topic come up, anyway. Oh well, this is probably the first serious b-log post, when I should be watching the Super Bowl. I think I might get a CD by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones next?

The Truckee High School unicycle Count is now at 7.

Well, I'm bummed. I was supposed to be the DJ for free to the Winter Ball in a week, but now they say that they are going to pay for some generic DJ instead. It would have been awesome, but now it's most likely going to suck.

We also tried to do the Reel Review today, but it fell apart after two hours of setup.

Mr Nice and Peanut Butter Jelly Time - Yup, pretty random.

Truckee High School Unicycle count has increased to 5
