Sweet child 'o mine

For music, we were asked (our "band") to join the "lunchconcert" which means we have a "gig". After we performed our song (hey joe by JH) for music, the guy said he thought we were really good, so he invited us to perform our song again. But we've chosen to do an other song, sweet child 'o mine by GNR. We're with many people now. Weve got Max playing drums, Paul playing rythm guitar, Bram (also known a Brem) playing bass, then we have Olivier playing keyboard, and me playing lead guitar. The end is really hard to play, but the other things are quite easy to learn. But I still have to find out who plays what. At least, for Paul and Bram and Olivier. That's really fun. Anyways, I've got to go now, thanks for reading.

Rock and Roll ain't noise pollution

First of al: WOOHOO, got myself 700 hits on this blog!!

Second of all: I got an argue with my fater and brother today. They think rock 'n roll is stupid. They rather hear people "rapping" to music which is made by a computer, then real music made with guitar and drums, and where people sing in stead of talking. I lost. Of course, there were 2 of them, and only one of me :). Even though, it was worth 'fighting' for. Also, I was challenged when playing a game, to make my own version of lemmings. I don't know if I should accept it. Hmm.. I'll need to think about it. It would be cool if I could do it, but I have no idea how i should do it..

Jimi Hendrix

Today I got to barrow the Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Wright festival: Blue Wild Angel DVD from someone. I'm very pleased with it. Really, since it's one of the few live recordings from JH that I don't have. But unfortunatly, I can't listen to it, and I can't watch it. When I put de DVD in my computer, he installed some software. But it apprears I can't use the software because the driver for my graphic card doesn't support it. So I downloaded the latest I could find, but still I can't watch it... Don't know what to do anymore, because I can't find a solutionon the internet. Then I'll try to watch it downstairs tonight.

Also, IT'S WEEKEND!!! I can tell you one thing, we've had a boring week. Got some results from a test: a 6,5 (for the not-Dutch readers: on a 1>10 scale). Also for physics we had a practicum (?) and that turned out to be a 7.9 (BEAT THAT MAX). I did it with a person who isn't quite serious, so I expected to get a lower result than Max, but it turns out to be higher :P.

Hmm.? Bad?

For our class English we had to write a letter. M (I will reveal his name: Max xD) thinks my Enlish sucks (do you think so to..?). But my teacher has other minds about that. He says we, Max Paul and I are the 3 in our class who can speak Enlish better than average. Hmm, I doubt it. As far as it concerns my self I also think it pretty sucks, my pronuncation is a little better, and when writing it, It's again better. I explained my teacher wy my English it bad. It has to do with the fact that I learnt English from TV and the computer. So I learnt all those times (present perfect, present simple and so on) by myself, without knowing it. So now, it's easy for my to use them. I also don't think about it. But nou, on secondary school, we have to learn them for our class, and that is where it goes wrong. When I think when doing it, I get confiused. So says my teacher. When you have to think for an action you used to do without thinking (like breathing) and at once, you have to start thinking how to do it, it's harder. Maybe the breathe-example maybe sucks, but it's just an example.

Well, I've got some good news. I still haven't got my footswitch, but I'm getting a CD from Jimi Hendrix soon. It's one of the few CD's from Jimi I'm still missing..

Happy birthday...

Hmm. Celebrated my birthday yesterday. It was a really nice day, with lots of family, lots of food and lots of money. I did a brunch, so we had a late breakfast, and since we had dinner very early, I practically was eating all day. I didn't care though, since I'm always hungry.

Today, we went out for the beach. The weather suddenly changed from nice, to foggy and cold and wet. My mother slipped out on a fish that she didn't see. It was flushed on land, and still alive. xD, had some good fun with a almost crying sister She felt bad for the fish (omg), and the fact that it would die... Then my father grabbed a stick AND... You should imagine the rest yourself... Oh, almost forgot to say I had to do some "punishment work" (I don't know the correct English word for it). Got my mom not-amused there ;)

Highway Chile

Today I've been to the autoRAI. It's a carshow, the biggest in Holland. Lots of cars, bikes, and concept cars. We began our "journey" at the family cars. That part of course was so boring, I almost fell asleep in one of the cars (actually I had a little sleep to catch up, from the night before, I didn't sleep much then). 

Then, the cabriolet's came. A nicer part, but still boring, due to cars we've had seen before in the family part. Even though there was a rolls-royce phantom coupé, and a Lamborghini roadster...

Finally, after the bikes, the 4x4's and carshow we were heading to the sports cars and super cars. The nicest part. A lamborghini Murcielago, Gallardo, Piaggo Zonda (or something), a spijker, and some cars I had never heard before. But, a nice day.

Rocker

Today, I've read my blog myself. I found out it sucks. Stupid stories, bad English and I can go on...         Even though, I'll write again.

Today mu oncle came by for my birthday, with wy cousins from Curacao. But it has been such a long time that we haven't seen each other, the youngest of them don't know who I am anymore. Even though, we had a lot of fun. One of them has turned into a rocker-skater-girl-loving-boy, so we listened to some music today, and he showed me some tricks on his (really nice) board. He has got this very cool bracelet with metal studs on it, and very cool shoes from vans. Also he wore a shirt from rage against the machine, which is not my favorite band, but I like it. I got him convinced NOT to buy one of greenday. Because, as we all know, the band sucks. Just like me, he plays guitar (accoustic), so we played some songs together. Then he showed me this photograph from his girl (he likes to say that). I doubt if it's really his "girl", since I know he isn't really after girls (he isn't gay, but skating and music is more important to him) and the girls are not really after him. 

Well, my mom called me, so I've got to go.
