what a rockin' band.

i damaged my foot. shades of red and purple do not go well with my right-sided walking mechanism.

drew and i washed our cars today while rockin' out to the new 7dust...and i was damn proud of the end result. RABIA is one sexy car when he's clean...and although QuiRAH (brian's new blazer, pronounced "kee-rah") is newer and has a sweet sound system, RABIA will always be my baby. oh...and drew's car...white trash...is...nice, as well...yeah...

My Spring Semester is planned out, finally. it would appear as though i have a death wish, scheduling 15 credit hours, INCLUDING A MATH CLASS...but i think i'll make it out of it all in okay shape. tuesdays will be "fatal," though; i'll be on campus for nearly 12 hours STRAIGHT (eight of those hours will be spent in classes). SO. Here's the skinny:

Film as a Narrative Art
Human Sexuality
Astronomy
Astronomy Lab
Pre-Calculus/Algebra
Concert Band

Madness, eh? It's a hell of a load... but at least all of those classes seem interesting, save for Pre-Calc. still can't believe that i'm taking a MATH CLASS...but at least i'll be finished with that shit when summer arrives. On with the schooling...

Absent has an extremely important show coming up on the 23rd of this month at the FBI (Fairbanks Inn) in Winter Park, AND ALL OF YOU ARE INVITED, along with ALL of your friends! the show IS 18 and up, though, so you youngin's will have to make fake IDs. if you need help, just ask my good friend Drew over here. Seriously, though, it will be an important event...Will's first performance as an official member of Absent.
No definite decision has been made as to whether or not Frank will be playing at all with us on that upcoming show. He has expressed a desire to, and we've all considered it, but differening opinions amongst the current lineup make this issue a difficult debate. All of us were hurt and angered by the comments Frank made in the past two weeks in reference to myself and the band; hell, at first, he told us right out that he didn't even care about ever playing a final show with us. of course, that's different now, and he has apologized for all of the comments he made...but it doesn't seem like our wounds have completely healed; some members are taking longer to recover, and others just don't care anymore. However, i think brock, john, brian, and i all agree that Will DESERVES to play this show exclusively...and not "share the spotlight," so to speak. He has been working damn hard, driving up here just to learn the parts, spending HOURS and HOURS straight, learning all the riffs, suggesting new ones...and he attended a practice that basically lasted an entire day...and let's not forget that he spent over 1,000 dollars on new equipment for the band. He basically learned 6 songs in 2 days. I realize that not allowing Frank a final performance with us might seem harsh...but if the entire band isn't down with it, it can't happen. If i felt like maybe Will wasn't ready to perform with us, i might reconsider...but the thing is that he IS. Will has surpassed my expectations thus far...and the vibe i felt at practice was...awesome. We are all really, REALLY excited about the future of Absent. As always, comments are welcome.
