IMO schools more of an "experience education" rather then academic learning at least for me. You learn how to deal with people and situtations thats whats it's all about. As far as learning anything? I didnt learn much at all from school. Learning to deal with people and working with them is what school really helps with. A new situation happens everyday with a large mix of people like that.

Oh yea and I got busted many a time trying to "edit" my progress reports hahah. My parents knew I was fulla **** though so it never worked.

I was cleaning at a school. It may seem bad but the pay wasn't bad. £6 an hour and I worked 10 hours a week, so thats around £240 a month. I got the sack cos the stupid **** equipment kept breaking which made me work slow and sometimes not get things finished, so after a couple of times that happened they let me go. Bastards.. Now I have to look for a new job which is annoying, and i have basically no money.

i haven't officially shaved in several weeks. i've just been using one of those electric hair trimmers, like the barbers use and cutting my facial hair as close to the skin as i can.

last time i used a razor it was a Mach 4. that thing ripped up my face, so i had to go back to the Mach 3. i got that M4 gillete razor for free, because they were givining them away for free on campus. it was one of those facy ones where the handle was metal and you only replaced the blades. i know why they were free though. that fourth blade goes straight through the top few layers of skin.

Well, it might be. It will basically make you a better drummer, you will understand what you're playing and why you are playing it. It might help to take up an instrument like the piano if your planning on doing a music theory course as you'll be learning about melody too, not just rhythm.

Also if thats all your playing (sorry if that isnt true) then i recommend listening to some other genres apart from rock: jazz, funk, afrocuban/latin, theres plenty.

Yes, I only really listen to Rock. Can you suggest a good jazz,latin, or funk band for me to download???

Jazz: Miles Davis - So What
Dave Brubeck - Take Five

Funk: (fusion) Herbie Hancock - Chameleon
also try Tower Of Power - I got To Groove

Latin: not sure what to reccomend here, erm.. try searching for Buena Vista Social Club, or just latin or latin jazz

Also try to download some Dub Reggae by King Tubby, and just normal reggae, just type in reggae. Then just listen to all of that loads and try to absorb the beats and play them.

Go to a career center. I failed so many grades in regular school, I had no choice i had to go. It was great though, You have 1 class, then they have you drive to work. thats it.

I was in the Auto Prgram, so i went to school for like 2 hours, then went to work. Definetly check them out.
We've got something that at my school, kind of.
You take an Int. to Occupations course, and then the next year you stay for 3 periods of the major classes, get on a bus and go to a college and learn about a career path and work in it.
I was going to do it for graphic design, but I needed to take band, so I couldn't.

i always thought high school class rings were dumb. what is there to be proud of, anyone can graduate HS, you don't even have to try. plus if you go to college your not going to want to wear that dumb 'ol thing. college is a place to forget about the dumb stuff you did in HS and move on, not carry around some ring from the past, a past that doesn't even matter in the real world.

What is a class ring?

I dont understand the american education system. Over here we have school (age 4 till 16) college (16-18 unless you take a year out) University (18-whatever dependin on course)

Only school is compulsory. I failed my first year of college doing advanced physics, advanced chemistry and advanced biology

In Canada, we have elementary school for grades kindergarten to grade 7. Kindergarten is the year before grade one where you only go to school for half a day. Before kindergarten you can also go to preschool where you do little kid crap. Anyways after grade 7 you go to highschool untill grade 12. After grade 12 you either go to college or unitversity. Lots of people go to college first and then university. Thats how it works here.

Hyacinth, Tourmaline, or Black Onyx stone.
Pick one, and I'll rep you.

Thats not true.
I can feel so boring for someone so interesting like yourself, so ignorant for someone of sound mind.
I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful.

My girl has an AMAZING arse :D ***** she's jus generally amazing
pics??? :naughty:

:lol:

i had a terrible migraine this morning. my alarm goes off, a bit too loud for my liking, so i turn it off. i sit up so as not to fall back asleep, and my head just starts throbbing with pain. i open my eyes and the little bit of light that's in my room is making my head feel 100x worse. so i laid in bed for another hour and waited for my head to stop hurting so bad. it's still slightly bothering me, but not enough that it really effects my day-to-day things. except drumming. looks like another day on the pad for me.
