The Climax

Today Weight of the World had a practice with a new guitarist named Troy. I'm so glad that we've been able to add him to our lineup. Troy hasn't played with a band since he played bass for They Fear The Reclaim. I got their 7" on eBay a while ago. Its extremely abrasive. I would recommend picking it up if you find it anywhere.

Anyway, the practice went over well. Bruce and I taught him four songs and he picked them up really quick. He's also quite versatile for bass being his forte. Troy has a very thrash-esque approach to playing guitar, that adds a new type of aggression to my melodic brand of hardcore and punk. I'm really excited.

Around three, I met up with produced/songwriter Phil Henry to continue mixing the Weight of the World demo. We go three good mixes down, but we need to re-record some bass. My advice is to never tune your instrument to an online tuner. They're not reliable.

At six, I met up with my parents for the Senior's family picnic. It sucked. The veggie burgers were burnt and Jeremiah just had to sit with us. My mom overheard hi saying his parents weren't showing up, so she invited him to sit down. Little did she know, that he's immensely annoying and tries way to hard to be everybody's friend.

Next, all graduating seniors had graduation rehearsal at seven. Like Jeremiah, it was also immensely annoying and antagonizing. All the formalities and traditions mean absolutely nothing to me. I guess it might to my family though.

Now, I'm slightly drunk. I also don't feel like thinking anymore. No more writing. The end of the world starts tomorrow, with my entry into the real world.
