The Trials & Tribulations of Summer

lol. jk. Summer has been pretty sweet. Alana was able to come and sleep down at Cowichan Lake overnight. It was great wakeboarding the first day and both my brother and I are improving. He succeeded in doing a 180 and I'm still jumping the wake. Both of us enjoy busting indy grabs.

The summer seems to be dwindling away, but there is no way that I could say that I didn't do anything in it. I think I've done more this summer than any other one. This past week, I set my CIBC account up for PC and Telephone Banking and also got a desktop computer and printer for when I go to SFU.

Ted is getting into heavy metal, probably thanx to David. He bought two Killswitch Engage Cd's. I can't really talk. I don't mind most of the music David listens to and I like some of the Slayer and Pantera songs. Alana and I rode downtown the other day, stopped at A & B Sound and then got subway to eat by the waterfront.

I can't say that all of the days were perfect. There was one a couple of days ago where I managed to irk most everyone. Lately, I've been practicing a lot of acoustic guitar. I'm hoping to either get one for my birthday or buy one before I go off to SFU. Electrics aren't always the ideal choice. I've been learning/playing songs such as "Creep" (both STP and Radiohead), "ACSOG (Acoustic)", "Pardon Me", "Tears in Heaven", "Yellow Ledbetter", "Californication", "Summer Romance (Acoustic)" and various acoustic Nirvana songs.

On the computer, I've found some pretty sweet songs. Slayer did a cover of a Black Sabbath song called, "Hand of Doom" and it is sweet. I finally found a Tower of Power song. (a funk band, David Garibaldi drumming, who has beats in Advanced Funk Techniques). I also got a sweet GTA San Andreas song, "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour. I downloaded "Good Time Boys" by RHCP on one of their earlier discs. Devin sent/burned me the new Default song. I've downloaded a couple Oasis and Pink Floyd songs after seeing my cousin in Naramata. "Married with Children" and "Supersonic" I have taken a liking to.
