On March 7th, 2008, Here in Manitoba, The Weather here was -40 degrees celcius!! Which is the same in degrees F to our fellow Americans.. I think.. But yeah that is very cold for March! It's still cold but the snow is melting...very slowly... lolz.

Our band is now playing a show on March 29th! It's sorta a Private Party kinda thing, lolz, but once we get our music out there, i'm sure we'll have some more shows for u guys! And maybe you can come out and watch?

Anyway.... SURVIVOR! Chet, is gone! YAY!! Bahaha! I didn't like him because he is weak! And he reminds me of this prick that lives in our town! His name is Rick. haha Rick the Prick! Anyway, P-RICK, is the president of the SPorts Club Here in Inwood. And our band got a bunch of different bands to play at our Arena!! Yeah, We were gonna do an Arena show! There was the Greasy Knots, Two Steps Back and Us, The Falling Unknown. Everything was planned, and ready to go. But Amber and I decided that we wanted to make a little bit of money to pay the bands to play! But P-rick, Called a secret sports club meeting, without consulting any of the bands members, and cancelled the show all together!! A day before the show!! It pissed everyone off. There was gonna be about 500 ppl there! We were gonna do the show for free! But we wanted to pay the other bands for comin out and putting on an awesome show! We did shows with them before, so everythin was gonna be awesome! 500x$5= $2500!! He was too greedy to pay the bands at all. What do u think about that? Now that everyone hates P-RICK, The Sports club has gone downhill. There is still Ice-Skating there, but no one goes because of P-Rick! Believe it or not! And i was thinking about running for president there when the time comes around. Its a great voluteer experience! I might need help though.

Anyway, Tell me your guys thoughts! LOLZ It would be great to see what u guys think of this!

POP YOUR PARACHUTES!!

Ok, it's now the middle of January. Outside is cold and I am missing summer. I've been doing homework and going to work. My job isn't really what you expect. You have be a waitress, and a bartender. I am a bartender just so everyone knows. I work tonight from 4:00 pm- 12:00 am, and then I have to go to school tomorrow. Too much? It's ok, You make good tips :) The thing is I don't want to be doing this for the rest of my life. My job is pretty easy but at times it could hard because of the people that come in and get plastered. You have to cut them off. And then when it's time to leave, they don't leave so that's one the things that gets hard to work with. I don't want to be a waitress/bartender all my life. the only other thing that I am good at is music. I'm auditioning for Canadian Idol next month but people tell me that it isn't the right way to go. I am trying to record demo's and stuff but they aren't the way that i want them to sound.  I would really like to make it as a band rather than solo, that way your giving someone else a chance. I do have a band, but i don't think that they are very serious about it.

Anyway, onto random, I have this cat, her name is Sisky. I got her some time ago. In October I believe. Well , yesterday i was talking to my little sis about my cat. And she told me that Sisky means boobs! Yeah, trust me I am not lying whatsoever. But i'm sure that it isn't spelled like S-I-S-K-Y but yeah I think it's German or Russian. My siter knows this b/c she has a kid in her class that is from Germany and he knows some Russian words and stuff. But he can speak German fluently. SO i was shocked, well at least my cat is a girl. LOL. So i hope the actual Adam T Siska reads this, I don't know if he knows and I wonder if he is secretly making everybody say that LOL funny...

And about the band. The band is called The Falling Unknown. We are doing some covers right now, but i'm writing some songs. Kayla and I do the guitar features and whatever is needed. And Amber makes up the drums. It's going ok. We practice whenever we can. I practice singing everyday. And i write the lyrics for all the songs. We have a video demo. It's our own cover of the Church of Hot Addiction. You all know who's song it is. The last show we had was June. And I am singing next month in a Radio show thing, So anybody that can get reception, please listen. It's 120.0 am or 93.1 fm. If you listen to it let me know what you thought, Last year I got third and a couple years before that i placed 1st.

 See ya later

P.S. Tell your friends to read this, I appreciate it LOL

On Monday, I was playing volleyball with my fellow classmates when someone told me that someone had dedicated a song to me on the radio. Now, this usually doesn’t happen to me or anyone I know because this is a small town. There is only about 500 people in this town. It’s now Thursday and I still don’t know who sent it.

Last week, the volleyball team that Amber (Drummer of the Falling Unknown) and I have been coaching, has won the Junior Girls Volleyball Divisional! I am so proud of them, but I’m $20 in the hole because I said that if they won that I would foot the bill for Pizza. Oh well, it worked didn’t it? Meanwhile the team that I am on got second place.

 My cats, Sphinx and Sisky, have been pretty good. Sisky knocked over my plant but it’s all good. She is pretty smart. When she wants something, she taps me. I think she learned that from Sphinx because he does that all the time. And they both can play fetch, it’s awesome.

Work has been fun. For the past two weeks, I’ve made a lot of money in tips. But I’m saving it for recording. I’m trying to record some of my music, professionally.

I’ve become obsessed with writing. I come up with ideas, and luckily, I have these lyric books that I carry around with me just in case I have an idea. But the hardest part is perfecting it.

I work tonight, tomorrow night, Saturday and Sunday. That’s a lot of hours. I have time for homework and music, so it’s not a huge problem.

Right now I’m listening to music. I was listening to Misery Business by Paramore, Living in America by the Sounds, Seed by TAI, Papercuts by GCH, and the Shake by My American Heart. You can watch the video on my Band’s site.

Take That

He’s talking up a storm,

Don’t recognize his form.

His feelings inside,

Just make him want to hide.

So get out of his way,

He’ll mold you like you’re clay

I’m ready to take him on.

But what do I do

What I say

He’s coming around,

He’s coming this way.

He’s been gone for way too long

I’ve reached the end of being wrong,

But when worst comes to worst,

What do you do?

Listening to the sound of silence,

Hoping it will make up some sense,

But when it doesn’t happen I follow through,

TAKE THAT!!!

Had another fight,

He thinks he’s always right.

I get him real mad,

I guess that’s not all bad.

He owed me a debt,

Since the day we met,

He’s ready to bring it on

But what do I do

What I say

He’s coming around,

He’s coming this way.

He’s been gone for way too long

I’ve reached the end of being wrong,

But when worst comes to worst,

What do you do?

Listening to the sound of silence,

Hoping it will make up some sense,

But when it doesn’t happen I follow through,

TAKE THAT!!!

He’s keeps talking, I keep on  walking.

He’s starts shouting, I start doubting.

Am I ready, just keep steady,

The battle has just begun
