Some more will make four

I'm ona roll with the titles. The last one wasn't intentional, this one was.

Got my Acoustic Simulator today. saounds fucking awesome. I have never heard my guitar sound so nice. Gonna write some stuff. I'm sure Alotta Cocka will borrow it to write some stuff as well. And now since I have it, I have to learn my chords. I figure if I can learn my chords and switching back and forth between them it'll help me play everything better.



Didn't go up to Regina today. They are transferring my grandpa back to Melville. I guess he was stabalized enough. Things still aren't looking great but they are about as good as we could have hoped for. My parent went up to Regina to pic up the last sister to take her to see her Dad in Melville. She's about all the visitors he will get today. I'll probably go up sometime next week to see him.

Another to do with the last two

Well, I'm heading up to Regina tommorrow with my parents and brother. Gonna go see my Grandpa. He's not doing well. They are still unsure what's going to happen. If he manages to get out of the hospital it will most likely be in a wheel chair, and knowing him, he would be very miserable for the rest of his life in a wheel chair. It was a very bad heart attack. I don't know what I'll do if things take a turn for the worst.

I've never lost someone I love before. Everything is changing so rapidly. I'm leaving the house I grew up in. I'm leaving my childhood and stepping int the world of adults. If I lose my grandpa that will be another stroke against me. But, I guess I'll survive. Everyone else in the world seems to manage it, I guess I can too. I also hope he can as well.



My acoustic simulator arrived today. I never got it though because the guy there didn't know what to price it too and Cleo wasn't available. I'm gonna try and get it tommorrow morning before I leave for Regina, but who knows.

Well, that's about all for tonite.

Explanation

Ok, I think I can explain that last post a little. My grandpa had a heart attack last night. He seems to be doing ok, joking around and all the such but he is still in the hospital in Regina. I'm very worried about him and my grandma. They've been together for 55 years and it would hurt her a lot to lose him. But, as it stands things are going pretty well.

On a lighter note: I just spent 2 hours at The Source in the mall talking to Jon and buying a Digital camera. Just a cheap one that cost me 110 bucks. It's being discontinued so the normal price is 170. I got a good deal. It's a pretty good camera. It'll do the job I want. Once I get my video camera I'll be set.

Why?

Something bad has happened. I'm not gonna say anything because there are people who may read this who it affects and if they don't know I don't want them finding out from a blog. You probably know what happened already if it affects you but I'm not gonna say just is case.

What is the deal with god. What is the deal his fucking "Great Plan". I know some people who read this believe in god wholeheartedly so explain to me this: Why is it that god makes people who have done nothing but be nice in thier lives, and have been damn near perfect as they get older, feel pain? What the Fuck is the purpose in that? Why is there so much pain in the world while he is so powerful and could supposedly stop it? I don't know, and I know you don't know. I'm sitting here listening to Live Aid pondering this and wondering, why can't he just give them peace in the after-life instead of creating pain in thier life???? WHy must the people in Africa suffer so much. Sure it brings together people and shows our kindness but I would rather that everyone in the world have food and go about thier daily lives than have everyone come together in one spot and have millions of people die each year unnecisarily. And I'm not saying anyone in my life has died, as far as I know everything might be alright. None of us will know until the end, and I guess we might not know even then. All I know is that it isn't right.

Stuffage

well, one more paycheck and I should be able to start putting money away for school. I've got my Acoustic Simulator which will cost me $200 and I'm gonna go down to The Source tommorrow and buy a cheap digital camera from Jonny who now works there. I also bout Live Aid Today. I've only watched Queen so far and they were pretty awesome. I figured that since I forgot to give to the communithon that I'll give to some other charity instead(half the money earned from the Live Aid DVD goes to charity). After all expenses I figure I'll be left with about 200 bucks. After my next paycheck, which'll probably be around 500 bucks(maybe a little under, I should be able to buy a camera. if not I'll wait for the one after that but I shouldn't need to take too much from that. i want to spend at least 700 bucks on a video camera. I can't wait till my Acoustic pedal comes in!!! Exciting!!

So, Steve brought his girlfriend, Sara Acton, Over to Jared's house the other day. To make her more comfortable Jared, Jon and I all took our pants off. Also by a fluke we all happened to have simpsons underwear on.......It was hilarious. Also, Jared's basement is cold. My legs were freezing.

Anywho..That's about all. I've decided not to go to Wal-Mart, Even though I'm pretty sure nothing is gonna happen about getting Adam to do the dishes at work.....Fuck I hate that kid.

Jeremy's contest

I am posting from Jared's house. this is an entry for Jeremy's blog entry contest.I am buying an acoustic simulator from cleos for 200 bucks...It's gonna rule.

Son of a Bitch

I lost my paycheck....$607.58.....I was helpingJeremy move to his new place and while I was waiting for him to get to his old house with the van looked at my check. i sat it down in the seat beside me and two hours later it wasn't there. Wither Bootsy ate it or it blew out when I opened the door....Witht the wind that there was yesterday it means wither way I'm screwed, unless dogs can't digest paper. I went in to work today, Denise, the manager didn't seem too happy about but said she would see about getting me a new one. The worst thing about it is that they'll all be thinking I'm irresponsible and all that stuff. It hurts my reputation. Oh well, nothing I can do about it, I think they'll forgive me, humans make mistakes. It's if I do it a second time that I'm screwed.

I think i'm gonna buy an acoustic simulator for my guitar. And new dimensions to Oligodendroglia as Alotta Cocka is using my gear for the time being. He was trying to write some Opeth styled music, where a song is usually ten minutes long and switches back and forth from acoustics and extremely eavy guitar. It's good enough for Oligodendroglia, not their best song but who knows once they add lyrics.

Fuck It

I'm going to Wal-mart tommorrow and seeing what all the responsibilities are. After the shit I went through at the Inn tonite I've had it. There was no Dishwasher in the morning so I had to do the morning dishes, dishes for one of the busiest nights I have seen in a long time and dishes for a 30 person banquet downstairs(that's a lot more dishes than you think, each person uses 3 different plates, glasses and sets of cutlery) and plus I have to go in tommorrow because the girl is still sick. I've had it with having to do all the dishes from the shift before.....I've done it about 10 times in my 2 months. I shouldn't of had to do it once. They need some decent fucking management in that place with enough balls(not saying they should be men, just a figure of speech) to do something about the problems in that place. It's fucking pissing me off that I am getting paid the same as Adam when i always have to do half of his dishes the next day! Fuck!

Work

Have to work again tonite, then I get two days off!!! I have been pretty much given a job at Wal-mart, I don't know if I want to take it though. It will be unloading trucks, making $8 an hour but the bad thing is it's 3pm-12 monday to friday. I had planned on relaxing a little this year. With the job I have I can relax but still get some money put away. I don't know If I want to work a 45 hour week. Plus it takes up all my evenings. With the Inn I work a mix of evenings and mornings. Although we have a new guy at the inn and if they take hours away from me I'll be taking the job at Wal-mart. The only good thing about it will be the money.

It has been released

Alotta and Flippygrip have managed to regain thier strentgh after thier imprisonment to slip out from behind Steve and my covers. They are reaveling themselves to all. read into it more here. Flippygrip might not be there for a little while as he is repaying his debt to Steve by helping him out with University. Who knows when he'll have time..it might be tommorrow it might not..I don't know. They are just starting so the Blog looks a little plain now...give 'em some time..I'm gonna help 'em with it.

Damn You Riders!!

So freakin' close!!! At least they only got beat by one point so they are at least tied with Edmonton right now. Have an Aunt and Uncle from Okatoks(or however you spell it, it's a suburb of Calgary) hear. They are going to the hockey game in Edmonton tonite, wondering if I'd go...NO!!! I think The Weyburn Inn is expecting me to go to work tonite but I'm not. I'm not on the schedule and I never said I'd go in. I haven't had a day off in ten days. They phoned here this morning at 8 looking for Jeremy. I think they all think we live together. they are always asking me what he is doing and I'm like "Ok, I see him as much as you do, so shut up" But whatever. Finally had the new schedule for tommorrow today. I have to work at 8 tommorrow morning....sucks. Got my speakers in today..took me 1:17, I know tis cause I listened to Ghost Reveries which is 1:07 and another 10 minute song(I know it was 10 minutes cause it was Opeth). They sound good, I just have to find a better place where they aren't getting muffled by the seat..I don't know where though. Man this post is full of sudden changes of topic. Been making some changes to the wording of the links and titles to my blog, I noticed I could do it when I saw that Steve's said it was Plagarized by. I thought to myself, hey!! I could change those! So I did. Bye.

What to say?

Our van's going into the shop today, has a bulge in one of the tires. I have to clean the basement 'cause we are having some relatives from Alberta over to watch some hockey games. Work was boring last night, 3 cooks and a dishwasher(and two of the cooks were new) and either one of the new cooks could have done everything all by themselves(hell, I could have). Almost got my new speakers in, I just have to make some boxes for them and finish wiring them up. It's gonna sound awesome. Woke up to Opeth today, pretty freakin' awesome. I'm liking my new alarm clock a lot. Well, I thought I had more to say but I guess I don't. See ya later.

Out of Debt

Paid off my ticket today which means I am officially out of debt, I know that won't last long once I hit University. University, hell, I'm not even sure I'm going. A year ago if you asked me what I wanted to go to school for I would have said 3D animation. 9 months or so ago up until a few days ago I would have said film, now I'm not so sure. I'm still gonna buy a video camera and try some stuff out but now I'm thinking of sound engineering and the such. I'm glad I didn't rush into university this year because I have no clue what I want to do. odds are next year I still won't know. I'll be living in an apartment, paying rent and the such. This whole needing more than a high school education thing really sucks. I guess I still have time to think about it though. I hate responsibility.

100th Post Spectacular!!!!!!!

Ain't that a doozie folks!! Maybe some other time I'll post my Mech up! Ok! Now were rolling, what's next you ask??? How 'bout an announcement????? Ok, here goes!!

Attention!! Attention!! I, Andrew Pilon, Have an Announcement to make!! The cd's for Oligodendroglia may be available to buy soon, It's not a gauruntee but it's in the planning stages!(Steve, we'll talk)

Ok, there you have it folks, boy was that interesting! Here is another one I got from my brother, Jeremy, off the old GTO Sunrise site, what am I listening to?

Alarm clock - A burnt cd consisting from three of Opeths cds, Blackwater Park, Damnation and, Ghost Reveries.
Computer - All my music but Mostly Sublime and Opeth
Computer room stereo - Opeth and Clutch
Car - Opeth and Gwar
Work - Local radio station, Swap 'n Shop, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Nirvana, The Mars Volta(and other stuff but right now those are the main ones)

"You smell bad"

It's true, it does! how about a anecdote!

So, one of the waitresses at work today(Tallie) and tells me and Blair that the Pepsi tastes like shit to which I respond: "How do you know what Shit tastes like?" Well, her reaction was to smile guiltily and then say: "That's enough from you!" I don't know but that reaction really got me thinking that maybe she has tasted shit before......that just kinda creeps me out. But hey, I could be wrong, she didn't say she tasted it.

Looking good Andrew, keep typing.

My parents are at the football game, it's probably half over by now. I hope we win. A guy at work is selling about 40 computer games for 5 bucks a pop. I'm probably gonna buy: Neverwinter Nights, Freelancer, Star Wars: Kotor, Warcraft 3, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, Unreal 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 4, Call of Duty, Call of Duty: United Offensive, andBattlefield 1942. There are more I'd like to buy but I don't have the money. I need to spend it on other stuff.

Wow, this is a lot of typing, so far it's been 30 minutes. and I'm not done!!!!!!! Ok, I am.......Thank you for joing me on the 100th Post Spectacular, I hope you enjoyed it and I will see you at the 200th post spectacular!

Apology

I would like to formally apologize to Jeremy. I guess he was at the practice, he arrived at about 7:05 but waited out front and later in the house for me while my car was parked at the side of the house. I told Michelle that I was gonna wait in the garage but she told him I had already left. Ah well, we all make mistakes. And Jeremy did have a good excuse for not being there on time, having eaten...bye



Rob Torfelson's Armada Featuring Herman Menderchuck

Some Stuff

How's it going everyone? Been awhile since I posted I figured I should get on it. Thanx to all of you who wished me happy birthday and sent me stuff and the such, it was much appreciated. I got a few lottery tickets from my sister(In which I won nothing, a well, I bought one later in which I won another ticket!), an alarm clock that plays cd's to wake you up and 120 bucks. I bought two speakers for my car, Soulcaliber 2 for my PS2 and I'm gonna buy some video games from a guy at work who's selling them off for real cheap. It'll be awesome.

Been working a lot of mornings the past few days and have a bunch coming up, The usual morning girl took some days off.

Got paid Wednesday...Finally finished paying off Mom and Dad. My car is my own now. I just wish it ran better......It doesn't like to start all that well and the pickup on is sucks....but when she's going a steady speed she runs smoothly so I can't complain. Although I guess I can't hear most of the problems because of my new cd player in it......That's a few problems gone for me!!

Going to my aunt's house up in Regina Sunday night for thanksgiving...it's gonna be tasty.....mmmmm.

So, I guess Ogema got a new ATM.....We were listening to the local radio station and each commercial break had about 2 minutes worth of information about Ogema, and it was never the same! I guess they won some National development award or something like that, I don't know.

I was supposed to be fucking jamming with at least Jeremy at 7pm tonight(Friday) but when he wasn't there by fucking 7:30 I left and went to Jared's. Things sounded good coming from my fucking end, the bass and drums were the parts that weren't holding up. All I can say is Jeremy, you'd better have a Fucking good excuse tommorrow morning...that damn garage is Fucking cold when your just sitting there.

Well, that's all folks, I have to go climb into bed, I already should be in bed...I have to work at 8.


Good night.

Chain-smoking, Porn-addicted, Gambler

That's right folks, at the moment I am writing this line, it will be 33 minutes till I become a CHian-smoking, Porn-addicted Gambler. That's right, I'm gonna be 18. I'm thinking that on wednesday I might go down and set up a time for getting a tattoo as well. I have to work at two places tommorrow..that sucks but it means more money..oh and I have a dentists appointment....ah well, at least it ain't the eye doctor....I know, I know..most of you hate the dentist and love the optometrist but I don't....The dentist is way better than the optometrist(and I think Jeremy might just agree with me....only he probably feels a lot more powerfully on the subject than I.

well, that's all I wanted to say.....Don't be suprised if the next time you see me I'm living the high life with my new job.



So long suckers!!!

Ow.......That hurts the ol' eyes

Well, the Official Oligodendroglia site is up, not finished making it but it's up. The colours match the first cd cover, only worse...prepare to have your head explode! It's here for now. Thanks to all who entered the contest, Steve and I got some recording in yesterday. We actually have to practice some of the songs cause the singings so hard. We'll probably announce the winner once the cd is done being made or at least close to.

Jeremy, Steve D, and I jammed last night. It went very well considering the fact that we didn't have any songs all of use really knew that well...we just jammed it out, getting the feel of playing with other people back. Might start writing stuff next time. Jeremy and I got lots of sound clips on our Mp3 players..I think he has 1 hour and 40 minutes and I have about an hour twenty. My MP3 player ran out of memory..Damn you Opeth!!! WHY MUST YOU PLAY SO WELL???!?!?!?

I got Autocad 2006 with the help of my good friend Mike Van Betuw.....Haven't looked at it too much yet but It's looking pretty good. Looking back at the stuff I drew, the house and the Mech mainly, I can't believe I was able to do it....It's pretty complicated stuff, mind you, the Mech still has mistakes, but I'm not sure it's possible to sraw some of that stuff in AutoCad....You need shading....Ok it's possibly to draw lot's of little lines to make it look like shading but I ain't doing that.

Well, that's about it for today.....Oh, there is a link along the sidebar that is a photo page I got..I found some pictures of the basement jam that by brother took. good stuff, check 'em out.


Alotta Cocka Out.

Stuff

Well, The Oligodendroglia contest is over. I'm thinking that if you still send in lyrics we might use them but they won't be entered into the contest or gaurunteed to be on the cd...just if your bored...I know I probably won't get anything. I haven't talked to Steve in a bit, I was hoping to do some recording today but he isn't at home...the jerk-wad.

Gonna start Jamming with Jeremy and Steve Dreigder(I think that's how you spell his last nem). Were starting a band. Don't know what it's gonna be called or what we will play. Tonite is just gonna be a jam night probably. Just get some stuff we can work with.

Been working a lot lately, which is good because it will be easier to pay off that ticket. I guess the girl that normally works in the mornings during the week is going on vacation on wednesday and will be gone for awhile so I'm gonna get quite a few hours. I like the morning shift cause there is more to do where at night you just stand there and you can't go out to hang with your friends, On the other hand though, I hate waking up early in the morning. Ah well, I still prefer the morning. I think it wouldn't be so bad if I did it steadily, instead I do once or twice a week.

Anywho, that's about it for now.....Oh, I'm working on a Oligodendroglia site, I just need to get a name from Steve and then I'm gonna put it up.....I'll have a link to it on www.pylonics.tk.....mmm...let's say tommorrow(Sunday) so check www.pylonics.tk tommorrow.
