Liebster Award Nomination

Thank you Chibiko!!!!!!  I am really a failure as a blogger, but you nominated me!!!  I feel so happy!!!!

From what I read from Chibiko's Blog, this is how it works:

1. 11 facts about yourself

2. Answer the 11 questions the blogger who nominated you left.

3. Ask 11 new questions for those who you nominate.

4. Choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers to nominate.

5. Go to each blogger's page and let them know about the award.

6. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog.

Okay, lets start with the facts about me.

1. I love listening to music (as most of you know) and I have a very wide range in my musical taste.  I like almost all kinds of music (except for the mainstream AM crap).

2. If all goes well, I'll be grading for my Black Belt in Goju Ryu Karate this summer.

Trying to figure out how the dance to their old job's  commercial went...

3. Right now, my favourite drama is You're Beautiful (Korean drama).  I'm in love with Shin Woo (center), Jeremy (right) and Tae Kyung (left) !!!!!  Sometimes I want to kill Yoo He Yi...  AND I CRIED WHEN JEREMY CONFESSED TO MI NAM!!!!!

4. I play a few instruments  the bari sax, the trombone and the baritone BC.  Because the baari sax is broken, I mostly play the latter two.

5. I am a genuine trekkie.  I have watched all series but deep space nine and I have watched all the movies.  Also, for those of you who are excited as I am... 105 SLEEPS UNTIL STAR TREK 2!!!!!!!!!!!

6. Deadpool is my hero.  He is awesome.  If I had more time to play video games, I'd buy his game.

7. I still read manga and I still watch anime.  No, that doesn't make me a kid, it makes me... an otaku... -.-

8. I have never dated at all.  There are a few guys who  I have liked, but nothing has come out of it.

9. I plan to go into medical research when I'm older.  Probably Oncology (cancer research).  I want to make a difference in the world in any way I can.

10. I am monotone.  I tried choir, but I couldn't sing high enough to be an Alto and I couldn't sing low enough to be a Tenor... therefore I am monotone.

11.I love poetry and photography, especially combining my pictures with my poems.  I find that they compliment each other and they bring the most out of each other.

Now for Chibiko's questions!!!!!

1. Why did you start blogging and how long?

I started because you started baka!!!  Just like you dragged me into tumblr and Skype and so many other things (that we talked about earlier on facebook).  I've been blogging since... December 2010.  Two Years and a bit

2. Who's your dream man/woman and describe in great detail. I'm curious!! :)

Oh God!!!! >///<  I-I can't say such things here....  He would be tall, well built, but not too muscular... Charming, funny, into music like I am... Caring, committed and hard-working.  I don't know what else to say.

3. Any pets? 

You know about Carma!!!! Before her we had Keela who died at the age of 14.  She was a Irish Setter - Golden Retriever cross.  She thought that she was the main female of the house and that my mom just played second fiddle.

4. If you are a manga freak, what is your favorite manga/anime out there? If not, what is your favorite book and why?

How can you ask such a question?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?  Fairy Tail, Naruto, Skip Beat, Seiyuu-ka, Charming Junkie, FMA, Zatch Bell... I LOVE 'EM ALL SO MUCH!!!!!

5. Favorite food when you were a kid and why.

Grilled cheese sandwich!!!!!!!!!  No further explanation required.  The food talks for itself!!!!

6. Be serious, if you could describe a perfect life, how would you?

Imagine, by John Lennon

7. Speak any second languages??? :D

Je parle le Français depuis douze ans.  Le plupart de mes cours son en Français et je lùtilise plusieurs fois quand je travail.  (I speak French)

8. What would your definition of beautiful be? 

Someone who lives life to the fullest and who has the strength to push through hard times.  Beauty is also  the ability to help others before you help yourself.

9. It's almost Valentines Day and if you had a boyfriend/girlfriend, what would your ideal date be?

Just hanging out and talking.  I love talking to people, and I love being with people.  There does not need to be a specific place and we don`t need to be spending money.  NO PHONES.  Just ourselves.

10. Do you like DARK or MILK chocolate? 

DARK CHOCOLATE!!!!! Not only is it better for you, but it doesn`t have the same after taste that milk chocolate has.  My favourite is 99% Cocoa....

11. What's your most embarrassing moments? 

After worrying about being homo,
he is happy when when  gets hyped up over women's undergarments...
I love you Nakatsu!!!!

Well nothing like this has ever happened to me... I can't really think of any embarrassing moments...  Everyone has little embarrassing moments, but none of mine have been so bad that I'd recall them.

Meaner Than You - The United Steelworkers of Montreal

The time device of self-destruction: Paranoia

Destroyer - The Kinks

Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place

Feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, hidden cameras everywhere

Stop! Hold on. Stay in control

Girl, I want you here with me

But I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be

'Cause there's a red, under my bed

And there's a little yellow man in my head

And there's a true blue inside of me

That keeps stoppin' me, touchin' ya, watchin' ya, lovin' ya

Paranoia, the destroyer.

Paranoia, the destroyer.

Well I fell asleep, then I woke feelin' kinda' queer

Lola looked at me and said, "ooh you look so weird."

She said, "man, there's really something wrong with you.

One day you're gonna' self-destruct.

You're up, you're down, I can't work you out

You get a good thing goin' then you blow yourself out."

Silly boy ya' self-destroyer. Silly boy ya' self-destroyer

Silly boy you got so much to live for

So much to aim for, so much to try for

You blowing it all with paranoia

You're so insecure you self-destroyer

(And it goes like this, here it goes)

Paranoia, the destroyer

(Here it goes again)

Paranoia, the destroyer

Doctor, Doctor help me please, I know you'll understand

There's a time device inside of me, I'm a self-destructin' man

There's a red, under my bed

And there's a little green man in my head

And he said, "you're not goin' crazy, you're just a bit sad

'Cause there's a man in ya, gnawin' ya, tearin' ya into two."

Silly boy ya' self-destroyer.

Paranoia, the destroyer

Self-destroyer, wreck your health

Destroy friends, destroy yourself

The time device of self-destruction

Light the fuse and start eruption

(Yea, it goes like this, here it goes)

Paranoia, the destroyer

(Here's to paranoia)

Paranoia, the destroyer

(Hey hey, here it goes)

Paranoia, the destroyer

(And it goes like this)

Paranoia, the destroyer

(And it goes like this.)

Christmas Concert 2012

I'm sorry that I haven't posted much lately, but grade 12 is killer... -.-  I'm in between semesters right now so I have a bit of time...  Here's our Xmas concert:

Concert Band: Noel

Our concert band wasn't the greatest this year... Though we did recruit a violinist last minute.  With only two rehearsals she was ready for the concert!!!

Brass Quintet (plus violin): Christmas Montage

This was originally our invitational band, but so many people dropped out that we only had a handful of people.  We were saved by the violinist in this group as well.  I think if we had rehearsed this song for more than a few rehearsals  we could of done better, but we choose this last minute realizing that we couldn't play our other songs without woodwinds.

Jazz Band:
Cruella de Vil

Blue Skies

Baby Its Cold Outside (with the exchange students on vocals)

[unfortunately I can't find a video to insert, here the link and I hope you check it out!]

Baby It's Cold Outside

Moondance

Encore: Ballistic Brass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have trombones this year!!!! Jazz Band is as exciting as ever, I only wish that I could play my Bari Sax....

I'm not gonna post the other groups because I wasn't in them and I have run out of time to post.  I hope you enjoyed out concert!!!

Ashes of laughter, the ghost is clear

I'm trying to get our Jazz band to do this song... the love, but Mr. P still hasn't looked for the score yet...
I hope you enjoy it!!!!

Ophelia - The Band

Boards on the window

Mail by the door

Why would anybody leave so quickly for

Ophelia?

Where have you gone?

The old neighborhood

Just ain't the same

Nobody knows just

What became of

Ophelia?

Tell me what went wrong?

Was it somethin' that somebody said?

Mama I know we broke the rules

Was somebody up against the law?

Honey, you know

I'd die for you

Ashes of laughter

The ghost is clear

Why do the best things always disappear?

Like Ophelia

Please darken my door.

Was it somethin' that somebody said?

Honey, you know we broke the rule

Was somebody up against the law?

Honey you know

I'd die for you

they got your number

scared and runnin'

but I'm still waitin' for

the second coming

of Ophelia

come back home

But that was yesterday, if only today

Factory Girls - Flogging Molly

Build a bridge or maybe two

Together held with footsteps she outgrew

But now she sits alone, everyone's long gone

She dances in a photograph

When it was good to joke and have a laugh

But that was yesterday, if only today

Now the walls are crawling faces that still breathe

But before she nods her head what's left but sleep

She hears a chorus of factory girls

Singin' in the streets

Drinkin' their coca-colas

After washing your filthy sheets

Chasin’ down the avenue

After a childhood that she never knew

Choking on woodbine

Cigarettes just kill the time

Now the walls are crawling faces that still breathe

But before she nods her head what's left but sleep

She hears a chorus of factory girls

Singin's aoin and all

Empty are their pockets

But their voices are filled with song

Come day go day

Wish in my hearty it was Sunday

Drinking buttermilk all the week

And whiskey on a Sunday

Come day go day

Wish in my hearty it was Sunday

Drinking buttermilk all the week

And whiskey on a Sunday

Now the walls are crawling faces that still breathe

But before she nods her head what’s left but sleep

She hears a chorus of factory girls

Singin' in the streets

Drinkin' their coca-colas

After washing your filthy sheets

She hears a chorus of factory girls

Singin's aoin and all

Empty are their pockets

But their voices are filled with song

Stayed Richard and his court of Kings

He stole my heart and many other things

But me I took his crown

Wish he was here to steal it now

Somebody else is looking into my mind?

Some Other Time - Alan Parsons Project

In a matter of a moment

Lost till the end of time

It's the evening of another day

And the end of mine

Now the starlight which has found me

Lost for a million years

Tries to linger as it fills my eyes

Till it disappears

Could it be that somebody else is

Looking into my mind

Some other place

Somewhere

Some other time

Some other place

Somewhere

Some other time

Like a mirror held before me

Large as the sky is wide

And the image is reflected

Back to the other side

Could it be that somebody else is

Looking into my mind

Some other place

Somewhere

Some other time

Some other place

Somewhere

Some other time
