Short

This will be a short one, just some recent happenings.

So guess what, iPhones freaking rule. Yeah, Britta and I went to the Apple store and played around with them...holy crap, amazingness, you should all go do it. That was whilst I was taking her on her first date :) I'd say I did at least okay haha, but I guess you should ask Britta about it. (and i finally got a Pumpkins shirt, you can also ask Britta about how i freaked out)

I just came home from the first hockey practice. Well...dry land practice. With Gritton being coach, it wasn't bad at all, despite all the running (which wasn't much at all really, I'm just a wuss). I'm pretty excited about it I'm hoping to take out some aggression so I don't become the cashier that kills everyone (watch Anger Management).

Well, just for length, here's another song, Someday by The Strokes (It makes me think of graduating and real life haha)

In many ways they'll miss the good old days
Someday, someday
Yeah it hurts to say but I want you to stay
Sometimes, sometimes
When we was young oh man did we have fun
Always, always
Promises they break before they're made
Sometimes, sometimes

Oh, my ex says im lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you wanna stand by my side
Darling your head's not right
I see alone we stand together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables they turn sometimes.
Oh someday.
I ain't wasting no more time.

Trying, trying.

And now my fears, they come to me in threes
So high, sometimes
"fate my friend", you say the strangest things
I find, sometimes

Oh, My ex says i'm lacking in depth
Say I will try my best
You say you wanna stand by my side
Darling your head's not right
I see alone we stand together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables they turn sometimes.
Oh someday

I ain't wasting no more time

Love,
Berto

Weeee


Time to blog, eh? (my house and it's newfound green-ness ^^^^)

Well I've been a huge slacker with the blog as of late...I guess I have my phases cause I've been known to blog often too. hm.

So how's everyone's summer going so far? Mine is going alright thus far, I've done a lot of things I wanted to do.

I went to Warped Tour last week and it was a good time and like I say with everything else, everyone sucks for not coming. I think I say that way too often, don't you think? It was just Krystal and me going and I saw a couple of other people that I knew there. I think it was a pretty successful Warped year. I got to meet Aaron from Underoath and ask him how old he was when he recorded one of my favorite cd's. He was 17. My mouth basically dropped because the drumming on that album is amazing. I wore my "Free Hugs" shirt and got a good amount of hugs, most from guys haha. I enjoyed it though because hugs make people smile and they made me smile too and it was a good thing. Krystal and I stayed for the whole thing too, which marks the first time I have done so in the 3 that I've been to. It was definitely very tiring.

I've been hanging out with "family" (cause like none of them are directly related to me) lately because everyone came to visit for my cousin's Quinceañera. On Wednesday Joel, Sergio and I went to get the new Pumpkins cd (which is pretty freaking good) and got a bunch of sodas for the Quince. I realized I need to hang out with Joel more haha, and we're talking about jamming or starting a band when I get the drums back at my house (they're getting new heads put on to make them sound better).

Speaking of Quinceañera...that was yesterday and it was a blast. (info? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinceanera. scroll down to "Mexico") I had to dance...haha...like a fully choreographed dance with the other ..guys...escorts...whatever they're called. Yeah. it was scary especially since we only had like 3 days to learn it all. But I guess we did good cause everyone clapped really loud and I was told it was good by several people. Everything was pretty sweet cause I got to dress up in a tux and look good. haha. I guess everyone's already heard about this anyways, so moving on. (if you haven't, ask me)

So I haven't been up to much lately, mostly just hanging out with people and working Tuesdays and Thursdays. Working has been good to me, I get payed well for doing construction, which is a little stressful sometimes, but it's worth it in the end when I buy all my concert tickets. Speaking of which, I got my ticket for the Smashing Pumpkins! I never ever thought I would be able to say that. ever. They're coming in September and I'm totally gonna be there. It's gonna be on a school day too so don't expect to see me in school that day, I'm gonna be in line, maybe even camp out. I'm hoping to see Muse that month too, but I have to get my ticket soon before they sell out. Underoath is coming in October with Maylene and the Sons of Disaster which I'm also very excited for. This fall is gonna be a good one for concerts.

I finally got a drum set at my house. The one that is usually found at Lurpe's house that I use to jam with him. yeah, that one. It sucked a lot up until recently when we put super good heads on it, now it sounds pretty dang good. Micah let me borrow his double bass pedal too so we're set there for the time being, i just need cymbals. lots of them.

Mike and I are starting a cover band, for the time being it looks like we're mostly just doing Muse and SP songs and stuff like that, which brings me to announce something, we're starting a DCFC tribute band! yep, me on drums, Mike on bass, Jeb and Britta on guitars/vocals, Morgan on keyboards and i guess we could have someone sing the whole time haha.

anyway, done with the weird announcements, here's a Smashing Pumpkins song for you, it's called Daphne Descends:


with the sugar sickness
you spy the kidnap kid
who kids you to oblivion
it's the perfect hassle
for the perfumed kiss
he makes you miss him more than home

you love him
you love him more than this
you love him and you cannot, you can't resist
you love him
you love him for yourself
you love him and no one, no one else

past sidewalk ashes
a last lovers arc
you come apart to intertwine
it was all so simple
as you watched him move
across the darkness in your room

you love him
you love him for youself
you love him and no one, no one else

and the winding vines
the pretty boys dive
and thru the pinhole stars
into the shadow mind
you will lose him then
on some gentle dawn
this boy is here and gone

you love him
you love him for yourself
you love him and no one, no one else
you love him
you love him more than this
you love him and you cannot, you can't resist

you love him...

Love,
Berto
