Rest Peacefully James "The Reverend Tholomew Plagu
Current mood: Cannot be described with words.
James Sullivan. Taken from us too early, blessed with the talent and
love for music. He is and always will be one of the greatest musicians
ever to grace our ears. But as all good things, it appears as if he was
too fragile to walk the earth for too long. We may remember him as he was, a great musician and overall a great person. He was graced with the
ability to show emotions and express himself through his music,
everyone felt it. We all dread his loss, but there will always be a
place for him in our hearts. As my greatest influence out of anyone in
Avenged Sevenfold, I feel truly devastated that he is no longer with us
physically. He will always be remembered. My thoughts and condolences
go out to the entire Avenged Sevenfold Family.
-Even after writing this, I still feel as if i have not gotten out how sad i truly feel about James' passing. Words cannot express the emotions i have felt in this time and he will be missed deeply.
"Sorrow, Sank deep inside my blood. All the ones around me, I cared for and loved." Rest in peace Jimmy, a damn good Drummer and one of my greatest idols.
Now before anyone makes assumptions, this is not a thread complaining about my neighbors, but complimenting them.
Since 7pm Today I've had my 50Watt Marshall Tube amp cranked (Well, at 3 anyways. A deafening 3...) Just jamming to some tunes, i did this until 10pm. I've been doing this constantly to see my new neighbors' reactions.
To my surprise, nothing. (I live in a duplex, FYI) They Have not made any complaints yet, I've been constantly loud. Whether it be me having my amp cranked, jamming with friends, or me practicing screaming. I salute these great neighbors, my hat off to you guys.
John's back From a long ban, i'm back in buisness. I really missed you guys!! A few things happened while i was away, that i'm gonna catch up on.
I Went to a Green Day concert on July 6th with a lady friend of mine (Floor seats, second row), freakin sweet concert by the way. Gonna be hard to top that one.
Anyway, three days after the concert, i went and visited my dad for the summer (He lives about 6 hours away) Stayed with him until aug 7th Did some ATVing and played guitar for a small coffee shop type thing.
Once i got back from staying with my dad, i resumed working and bought myself something nice! A Marshall JCM 2000 50w AMP HEAD, and a Slant cab. This thing is my baby now, it's worth more than i am! (Considering the head and cab together were about $2300CAD I'm not worth much.)
Ugh..I guess there's no good way to start this blog.
A guess i could start by point something out about myself.
Being myself, i don't really get drama. It usually all bundles up, get's together and all get's me at one point in the year, Yeah. A years worth of bullshit hitting me in just a few days. Well, yesterday was the first day in what so far will probably be the worst time of my life.
Lately it's all been cruel anxiety, worries about school, report cards, how my parents will react to the report card, my father's threats to kill someone i know, someone i know announced she like me over the internet which was extremely awkward, and 2 good friends went missing.
i can keep going, but i wanna keep this thing moving.
Last night, i realised all the shit that's happening to me. Last night i had a panic attack. soon afteri started feeling sick i've been taking alot of advil. Doesn't seem to be working at all.
It's never gotten this bad before, and i feel as if i'm losing my inspiration to play music. I've been extremely depressed, and it's not going away. I feel as if it's going to stay like this forever. What else can i do to take away the depression? I've gotten lots of sleep, i've tried to play music, taken lots of advil, surrounded myself with good friends. Nothing seems to be working.
I'm starting to scare myself a bit. I need ways to help relieve myself. What can i do?
It was my birthday yesterday, on the 23rd and i actually had a party this year.
Which is kind of weird considering that i've only had one birthday party before, when i was 7.
It was honestly thae lamest thing ever, my mom invited all her friends. and none of my friends could go because it was a school day, right before final exams. The party soon became over-ruled by bad karaokee and I spent the entire time downstairs playing guitar through headphones.
after about 2 hours, my boss came downstairs and handed me something it was a long strip of paper folded over and it had "100.3 the bear" on it. I hadn't told anyone what i wanted, but really deep down i wanted some concert tickets. But once i unfolded the strip, It revealed 2 floor seats to the very concert i had been dieing to go to.
It was honestly one of the best things i had ever gotten, came as a surprise too because i told everyone i wanted nothing; He was one of about the...3 people that actually gave me something. We played billiards until 2am, then i decided to go to bed.
Was honestly a Crap party, but kinda cool how just one person turned the night around for me.
Alright, thanks for reading.

tl;dr Birthday was yesterday, was complete crap party. One small thing turned the night around...Then i failed my Math final.
It's been awhile since i posted my last Blog, so i thought i should write another. Alot has changed since i last updated this. So i'll get started.
If you notice in my last blog i posted that i was 5'5" Well since then. I grew an inch! Woo! Haha. Also i've been practising more, i've gotten some cash and got new gear.
I remember at some point I had a camera, but then i kinda lost it. So I'll have a new one right away. I'll be uploading pics faster than the Pit can fap.
As of Now i have:
BC Rich Beast
Alvarez AD60SC acoustic/electric
Ibanez S470DX ( Godly Tremolo on it )
RG350DX
White Synyster Custom ( Limited Edition 1/100 )
Some stupid...Spider...
Peavey acoustic drumset
Crappy First Act Practise Amp
Behringer Delay
And lastly
Original Crybaby.
Yeah, I really want to get rid of my spider. Sounded cool at first, but skip a year later it's starting to sound like a wet fart. So, I figure i'll Get An Ibanez MIMX Tube amp. If you have anything else to reccomend for a duplex area, then go for it.
My Taste in music since last Blog hasn't changed but actually has been added onto. My 2 main bands atthe moment are Green Day and Avenged Sevenfold. I've taken what i sued to listen to, and added on some heavier stuff. I'll listen to anything from Country (believe it or not) To instrumental to really anything else except Rap. Or any sub genre of Rap. I just hate it with a passion.
If you want to get to know me better don't hesitate to say Hi, seriously, i like meeting new people
Anyways, my name is John, i'm 5'5 and i play guitar. suprise! hehehe.
I also play the Alto sax, bass guitar, and drums. i've been playing the alto sax for about 4 years now, and everything else for a year and a half.
I kinda like this place, so be nice to me and i'll be nice to you, don't expect me to treat a hater as if they're anything better than dirt
I am in a band called Nemesis of the Social, Some of my biggest influences are Green day and The Influents. I've had an obsession with these bands for so many years now, i've lost count. It's kind of funny, ever since i heard Billie joe playing "Christie road" and Jason White playing "Life and Life Only" i've wanted to become a musician. So a few years later I started playing music!
