Wooooop-de-doop

The roger waters concert was AMAZING! The best concert I have been to. The Who will have to put on one hell of a show to out-perform that. What I liked most about the concert was that Roger did a piece about his trip to Beirut, Lebanon. It was really touching.

I have been practicing trombone non-stop lately because of jazz. I am constantly messing around with pixie mute/plunger solos. Its so fun. I have been neglecting my guitar, and I feel really bad about it. I'll pick it up tomorrow.

Notmuch else has been going on , I took the PSAT today, what a bummer. Had to wake up early today to go to it. The test was fairly easy- except the reading comprehension. I always choke on that on tests. Bah.

Halloween is just around the corner, and I have not gotten my costume yet. I want to be Alex from A Clockwork Orange, but I dobut that will happen. I don't care that I am 16, I'll trick-or-treat until I am 90.

I found out I am going to Boston for Choir, which should be loads of fun. We will tour Berklee while we are there, which is good since I an going to apply there next year or later this year.

That is about it. I wish somebody would comment.

An Update in the Life of Kevin

Things have been going rather dmoothly lately. Nothing too eventful. I still wake up at 5:30-6:00 five days a week for school. Choir and jazz are a lot of fun, and I am positive my career will involve something with music. And I have just started listening to new styles of music- Classical (Tchicovsky is my favorite at the moment, I love the 1812 overture), and some Spanish style music (mariachi, flamenco, etc.). I have also started to listen to Earth, Wind, and Fire. They played a few years ago around where I live and now I regret not going to see them. But don't be fooled, I am still listening to all the rock I used to listen to. Stevie Wonder is awesome, too. Sir Duke is my favorite song of his.

I am doing fine outside of school too, I guess. My dad and I have been arguing on and on lately, but I have been able to put up with it. I saw this documentary about John Lennon today, It was really cool. Except for the part when somebody (who is not to be named) shot him. I felt really sad when I was reminded of his brutal death.

But on a lighter note, the Borat Movie is coming out soon. It should be funny, Sascha Cohen (spelling?) , the guy who plays Ali G is a really funny guy. One of my favorites.

I am going to take photos of my trombones tomorrow, so I can show them to you. I hope.

Peace and love,
