It’s been forever and a day since I’ve posted. My apologies, everyone! A few updates:
1.) My hair turned out green, not blue.
2.) Said color is almost all the way gone, then I’m dying it [[hopefully]] purple.
3.) I’m giving up percussion for bass clarinet.
4.) Bass clarinet is rather amazing, almost as amazing as my Cannonball sax.
5.) Christmas was grand!
And speaking of Christmas, several things caught my eye this holiday season. First off, you know those Salvation Army commercials? The ones that depict a small child giving a dollar to the black man who is serving as the bell ringer? The black man, getting all teary-eyed, mouths a ‘thank you’ to the little girl who smiles in return. I got to thinking, and this couldn’t be more inaccurate! I’ve realized that most small children are greedy little things who won’t give a dime, much less a dollar to anyone out of their own free will. Secondly, the Wal*Mart near me has the scary looking bell ringers: the ladies with too much perfume and makeup, the teens that look like they came straight from Juvie, and overweight people who curse under their breath when they have to move more than a centimeter. So much for good tidings and such.
Secondly…er…secondly… You know what? I forgot what I was going to say… Oh well. I’ll think of it later.
