Why Am I So Stupid???

First off, there are a lot of correct answers to the question presented in the title of this blog. Secondly, although no one but I actually care about this, I have not made a blog in quite some time. I have not seen a particularly heavy influx of new work or anything like that. I just think that I got really lazy. For those of you who do not experience such things, gtrying to integrate a new activity to your schedule as a lazy person is almost as difficult as playing a double reed instrument. All nerdy band jokes aside, I hope that I can finally start doing this regularly(do not hold your breath). Now, onto the good stuff.

Yesterday was district band; yay. Robert and I were the only tubas because we(mainly Robert) are awesome. The experience as a whole was great on my end and I am anxiously awaiting for Erin to put the videos online. On another band related note, today Ryan and I went to Concert Band and we both played the bassoon part. I feel sorry for the bassoons because even in Concert Band level music they have crazy jumps and play notes in a range larger than that of the music I usually play in Symphonic Band. Nevertheless, it was fun helping out the brass bandies and was far more productive than a day in Mr. Holmes class would have been.

Problem of the Day-

Day #4(Technically)- Club Participation.

Alright, I have been lacking club focus lately. However, today I got things done. I aided in leading We, I am actually reading the evidence for LD for state quals, I am accepting the consequences for my grievous mistakes at Winter Congress, and I am working on my duties in Film Club. I have nothing to stop me from learning the Indo-Pak dance either, thus I do hope to get back on track after a terrible week for my extra-curricular endeavours. Side note: never join as many clubs as I am in, for I am not even sure if those are the only clubs I am in and that really messes up your schedule.

Random Ranting Section:

Today's ranting topic is provided by The Magnificent Seven.
"Is it even really worth it?"

I will start off by sayin that "it" is referring to the pursuit of romance, in the first sense. Now the members of The Magnificent Seven have differing opinions about the subject. From discussions, you can see some very severe consequences to the action proposed in the question. If you ask a good friend, you risk losing said friend, you could hurt other friends in the process of a multi-party romantic web, the damage rejection alone deals can be damaging enough as it is, etc. On the other end, there are some base, clearly cliche, arguements. Could you really be happy knowing that you never gave it a chance, if you really like the person, then it should be worth risking awkwardness to possibly gain something more, and if you don't, then you are just a bitch. First off, a question that I think must be addressed when answering this question is, "do you like this person enough to risk the consequences of failure for?" If not, then obviously you should not pursue. If the answer is yes, then I will be a bitch and say that it is up to the individual, for some people just lack the mind set to do such things. Personally, I suck at this kind of thing, thus I cannot say anything hypocritical. However, I would like to be the one to actually ask a person. =(

Final Note:

If you are reading my blog and are not a member of Pinole Valley High School's We club, meetings are at Fridays after school in Ms. Macdonald's room, then please join or at least ask me for more information.

Thank you for reading.
