Just A Bit Of Trouble

Well today, I had to talk with Ms. Munoz, my mentor, about the presentation, settle when she would be free, and when I would be free as well. I could basically do it any day, but she has had kind of a bad year, she had surgery and a lot of personal problems that have been reasons why she has been absent; she told me that teachers only get 10 days a year free and from that point on they don't pay for each day you miss, and she was getting in trouble already so she said no during school, but that she could do it whenever after school. I had to go to Coach Love and tell him, of course he wasn't too happy about it, I understand, but I feel kind of useless in the situation, since I could not interfere in the schedules of two grown, independent adults who are also my teachers. So yeah that wasn't exactly of my satisfaction, but there's nothing really that I could do. I have a lot of things going on right now, and I have to get them n order..... QUICKLY

Cyber Meeting

Today I had an online meeting with my friends that make up my band in Venezuela, it felt really good I must say, we talked about the future, our new projects, and what's the new style we are aiming for because we were tired of the same type of music that we have been doing for years and we wanted something new, something that would make us get inspired again and hope for success in the future, and since the drummer is moving to the U.S we are going to have more of a chance. We decided to put more of a rock n' rollish style to the band but keeping it modern and fresh. All of us got really excited, and we are going to be together this summer, so maybe we could accomplish really cool things.

Last Days Of Wise

I know I've said it a couple of times now, but I have to insist that I get more and more nervous as we get to the end of the project, of high school, and a big part of our lives. We have to start thinking of our presentations because we have to sing up this Thursday, today Coach Love gave us his presentation, and of course it was flawless. I'm looking forward to do something like that with a lot of vivid moments like he did. I am also going to guide myself with the outline of his project that he gave us, the only bad thing is that my mentor and I aren't going through the best times with the loss of our friends, so we really haven't talked a lot about Wise, but when we are feeling better we will make everything up.

awful day

hey there, I'm sorry I'm not writing a lot today, but it has really been one of the worst days in a long time, I could sit here and talk about the concert and everything, but this blog is supposed to be to write about my experience and how I'm feeling at the moment I'm writing it. So Today there is nothing to be said, just that life sometimes is unfair for innocent people

A Day To Remember Concert!

Today is a concert that I was waiting for, as the title of this blog post says it is a A Day To Remember my friends, the story of me and this band is a little weird, because I usually never listen to this specific kind of genre, in fact, I would probably dislike it, but this band has something I swear haha. Is like that " I don't care what you think" kind of attitude, you can tell that they make music just because is what they love the most and they are not willing to follow any pattern or fashion, that is why I respect them and admire them you could say, so yeah, I'm really exited for the concert, hoping to have fun and why not learn from their style to see if I get inspired. So I'll write tomorrow and tell you how it all went. :)

I Can't Finish This Song

It sometimes happens, when you are just blocked out and can't finish something that you already started, well yeah, that is what is going on with me and "the song" that's the way I call it, since I can't even find an appropriate name for it. The song is basically done, but it is just not right yet, and I've been seriously working my butt off to get to finish it, but I have been feeling a lot of pressure lately. There is a lot of stuff going on. Graduation is closer than what I can even imagine, and I have to admit that I'm kind of scared for the future, thinking about college and all that business makes me really nervous, and not only that we are heading the last lap of the WISE race, and I have to make an effort to pull it off and come up with an awesome presentation.

The Best Band In the World

Yeap! that's right, know which is the best band in the world, I have mentioned it before, and it's called the foo fighters Why? because their originality, their creative music, stage presence, and attitude makes them unique and great. I just saw a youtube video of them, they are making a "garage tour" across the U.S where they literary call fans from the fanclub and ask them if they could play in their house garage and they play for only 50 people  how awesome is that? the movie of their history is coming out soon, Those are the little things that make a band the best!

Finishing Some Details!

As I mentioned before, I was writing a song with my brother last week, but we didn't get to finish it because he had to go back to Los Angeles, what a shame I know, but I've been working in little details and composing some second and maybe third guitars, these things even most people don't really appreciate them, are in fact what make a song unique and professional, it doesn't matter what genre we are mentioning, the little details are what make a song special, so I've been trying to do my best on that, Influences i would maybe say they are a combination of the Rock & Roll Style of the greatness of Foo Fighters, combined with aggressive and fast riffs of bands like trivium, one of my favorites, I'll show some videos of both, mix it all together, and you'll get what I'm saying.

Hi There!!

Well, Today is April the 5th and I have to say that is incredible how time past by, I can't believe that we are on the last couple of weeks of WISE already, and so close to graduation, and with my main project done already, the part that's in my mind now is the presentation because I have to admit that, in English, I'm not the best speaker, but I can pull it off, the only thing that scares me is to manage to give a 40 minute presentation, which is a long time up there, even though a lot has happened in my Wise project, is hard for not a very good speaker express and tell the story of everything that happened during 40 minutes, so I have to get well-prepared for that, I have some ideas already.
