Name change?

BOTS (BlackOut the Sun) changed our name to Born Under Punches. You know, new singer, slightly different sound and all that.
We had a death in the family last weekend. Never bought a suit before, but one has now been purchased. My family is pretty bummed.
Also, Born Under Punches was supposed to have a gig on January 24th in Brampton, but the band we were opening for dropped out because they're recording. What the fuck is that shit? If you have a choice between playing a show and recording, play the fucking show. Don't be an idiot.

Practice makes imperfect!

Five hour practice with BOTS tomorrow. Should be very good. Practices recently have been very productive, getting at least two to three new songs done each time. I wrote a new guitar track tonight for the song "A Ghost Story", which I wrote the lyrics for during psychology class while sitting next to one of my best friends. She's a really cool girl.
Anyway, the set list now consists of Molotov, Fuck Prom, Red Means Go, S.E. & A.A. (subject to name change soon), Day of the Dead (cover), Anyway You Want It (cover) and hopefully by the end of tomorrow, A Ghost Story will be included. We will be recording tomorrow afternoon after practice in order to have some stuff to show promoters and all that shit.
I also wrote lyrics to two more songs called: Breaking Faith, and My Darling's Dead, Dead (a tip of the hat to Die, Die my Darling by the Misfits). Music will be worked out for them ASAP. Not that you care.
I'd like to take this time to fill space on this entry by naming every member of BOTS and they're respective duties (no particular order):

- Tim Vincent - Bass. Also is band manager, and writes some music and lyrics.
- Chase Bell - Vocals. Newest member of BOTS, very funny frontman.
- Sean Kilkenny - Vocals and Guitar. Writes majority of lyrics and music.
- Kyle M. Newhook - Drums. Writes all his own drumparts and is an all-around cool guy.

Well, there you have it, BOTS. Who fucking cares? AMIRITE????LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I'm Not Ready.

Haven't posted in forever. What?
yeah, I know. BOTS has a new singer. I now play guitar and we split vocals more or less evenly. So I'm back at high school for another year of drunken annoyingness, uniform fascists, and overall disappointment with people.
We'll see how that turns out.
Ever wonder what it feels like to be completely alone? I go in my room and turn off all the lights and shut the door and close the blinds at midnight. I lie in the center of my room on my back and pretend I'm the only person left. It's extremely relaxing.
Go Home. Go to the mall. Go shopping. Go back to your normal lives.
We'll take care of it.

Long time no seed.

Holy shit it's been a long time since I wrote on here.
Not that much has happened actually. Except for one thing that's cool, BOTS will be recording our EP on Wednesday, July 27th. It will be called Two Minutes Hate and the cover art will be different on every edition. The songs on it will be(not that any of you know the songs by name, or at all for that matter): 1) EYEHATEDESNO 2) Red Means Go 3)13 Pints of Jack and Jill's Blood 4)To Our Glorious Dead 5) Fuck Prom 6) Straight Edge & Alcohol Abuse
Yeah that's all of them. We cut out another one cause it was shitty.
13 Pints of Jack and Jill's Blood is our newest song. It got its name because the bass play Tim fucked up his words trying to say something else. Whoopytyfuckingdoo.
I have spent so much time at my trailer, its tough to have time for anything else. Band and trailer, thats pretty much been my summer so far.
So anyway, not sure when i'll get back on here, but shouldn't be too long. Who gives a flying fuck.

Aw, Fuck It.

So I've been busy these last few days. BOTS show on the 5th went alright, however, it was a fucking terrible turnout! Not many people showed their ugly flea-bitten faces. But that's alright, we all played our hardest.
I've recently heard from one of my contacts(actually, just my friend Scott...) that the Against Me! is suffering from musical herpes. Drummer quit, another member wanting to quit. This is bad folks. BAD. Against Me! provide so much for many people(not including New Wave, of course).
Has anyone seen Valkyrie with Tom Cruise? That movie only furthers the stereotype that Hitler was BOMB PROOF!!! If not even an eye-patch sporting Mr. Cruise can end him, what the fuck are we gonna do?!?!?!
I pretty much spent two hours of my nigh pouring cartains of SOUR milk down a drain in a poorly lit area the size of a broom cupboard. That's right! That's what I do at my job. All the jobs that no one else wants.

What the fuck do you care? Why do any of you waste your time reading this? Oh wait, nobody fucking reads this shit because nobody gives a fuck what I have to say.

I'm Gonna Scream I'm Gonna Yell.

Well, hello, I didn't see you there.
I'd just like to tell you that, YES, BOTS IS playing St. Paul's tomorrow night, with a bunch of metal bands. Come on out and tell me how much we suck. Cool.
I really did a number on my throat at band practice today. I have to be careful at pre-show practice tomorrow, I don't want to fuck it up and not be able to sing.
I'm gonna play my face of tomorrow. Just wait and see. I got a thing I wrote for my Writer's Craft class back today. I wrote a story from Jack the Ripper's point-of-view. Cool, I hoped no one was offended, I think I used the word 'whore' at least fifty times, if not more. All in the name of realism. It was pretty gory I think too. But whatever, I'm sure the teacher didn't mind, I did pretty good.

My Oh My.

Work Work Work Work Work.
I worked tonight. I'm not sure what's going on there. I don't think they want me to work there anymore. Whatever, i'm happy they haven't fired me yet, I need the money and I don't mind the job that much.
My parents watch the show 'Intervention' a lot. So I sat down to watch an episode today, because it was on and I was bored. Anyway, the episode is about some adopted guy who's addicted to heroin. Cameraman got footage of the junkie stabbing needles into his bruised and bleeding skin, up close. Nice. That's really what I wanted to see. Then of course, clips of the family crying, "I'm at the end of my rope, I don't know what to do anymore" type deal. That's good. But then it shows the junkie's father, and I learned what exactly was the cause of the junkie's addiction. The father said to the interventioner(or whatever the professional was called) : "You keep describing his addiction as a sickness, but I know that it is SIN. If he had gone to Church with us and read the Bible like we told him to, he would not be this way."

WRONG.
Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong.

I cannot think of a more ridiculous thing to say. I don't care what the priests and the bishops and the rest of the holy men say, religion cannot solve all of your problems. Sure, it can help you deal for a while, but it is only a placebo. How many times have you talked to God in your life?

HAS HE EVER TALKED BACK?

What the fuck is that about?

Why are some people assholes all the time. All they do is tell you that you're not good enough and how you could do it better. Fuck you. I'd like to see you try. I hate so many things in the world. If you hang out with me you'll probably realize that.

Ok, why am I telling you this? It's not important. Sorry about that. Anyway, I am stressing about our next gig. But don't worry me, we'll do fine. Thanks me, i'm feeling better already.

I don't understand. There are so many things I don't understand. Why do we like music? it's just fucking noise. I love music. I more than love it. I can't even describe how I feel about music, it's too strong. I got an msn virus. whatever, better than swine flu i guess. speaking of which, first confirmed case of swine flu at my school last week! TRIUMPH. we beat all you shitty ass healthy Milton schools to it. SWINE FLU FTW.

Update.

Hey,
So this weekend, May 2 4 is what all the cool kids are calling it, was busy. I skipped school on Friday to head up to the trailer. That's right, I go to a trailer, in the middle of buttfuck nowhere. So it was great there, seeing my friends, sitting around the campfire, swimming in the FREEZING lake. I left at 8 in the morning today so that I can haul my ass back to Milton because BOTS had a show tonight. I think we did pretty good, people seemed to enjoy it despite a few minor screw ups but whatever. Another band that played, called Battle! covered a Minor Threat song, called Filler. Listen to it. Me and a bunch of my friends were all up there singing along, it was great. At one point when we were playing I got the microphone shoved into my face. I thought my lip was cut, cause it hurt pretty bad, but apparently it's fine. Huh.

Anyway, great time. Our next show is with Toxic Holocaust once again at St. Paul's, on June 5th. Prom night bitches. Fuck prom.

Beaten and Drowning in the Gutters.

What is the point?
We try hard. We really do. We have to succeed. It's what we learn from day one. If you don't get through high school, you're a nobody. Stay in school kid, cause if you don't your nothing more than fucking dropout working a dead end job with no future. Why? Because you're not intelligent if you don't have a little slip of paper signed by some bigwig asshole that certifies you as educated. And don't forget to dress well. White shirt and black pants. Don't get tattoos that you can't cover up kid, cause nobody wants to hire some inked up slacker with holes in his ears and and a brain full of drugs. Why is this so important to us? Etiquette. Drilled into our heads since we were born. Music is a great hobby, but you should keep it as that. You've gotta go to class, read this book, write this paper, hand it into this pre-programmed dictator when they tell you. Don't even try to have a say. Cause I make the rules.

Hey movines and borons
So BOTS had a killer practice yesterday. I was so tired last night and I could barely speak, but we got a lot done. I found out, our drummer is terrified to death of spiders. Needless to say, this resulted in endless exclamations of "holy shit man! there's a spider on the wall behind you!" and so on and so forth. We actually chased him around my house pretending we had caught a spider. We didn't even have one.
I hate American Idol and reality television in general(Survivor, Big Break, America's Next Top Model). It's all my parents watch. My favorites are Dexter, Criminal Minds, True Blood, Heroes and House. Hooray. I'm sure you're all riveted to know that.

So, here's my ten songs I've been listening to lately. Listen to them:
1) Check Yr Math - Paint It Black
2) Pits and Poisoned Apples - Kid Dynamite
3) Don't Call Me White - NOFX
4) Showdown - Propagandhi
5) Hegel's Bastards - Cursed
6) On The Bird in The Cage - Have Heart
7) D.E.A.D.R.A.M.O.N.E.S. - Modern Life is War
8) In The End - RAH
9) Screaming At A Wall - Minor Threat
10) Private Eye - Alkaline Trio

Enjoy. I don't care if you do.

So a few days ago my history class went to the ROM on a field trip. Good stuff. If anybodys into history, particularly the French Louis XIV era or thereabouts they have some excellent displays.

First timer.

My first entry. Huh. Interesting stuff.
I'm tired tonight. I work at LaRose Bakery and sometimes I like it, sometimes not so much. I have trouble deciding whether I like all of the people I work with. Some of them yes, some of them no.
So my band the BOTS (Blackout the Sun) have two shows coming up. The first is May 18th, the second is June 5th. That's right, prom night. Who gives a shit? Why would I want to go and dance to shitty music that I hate while wearing uncomfortable clothes with a bunch of people I don't really like? We're playing May 18th with a few band I haven't heard yet, but I'm told a few of them are quite good. That's cool. It would be a bummer to support bands I don't enjoy.....
May 18th, St. Paul's at 5 o clock. $ 10. Hope to see you there.
