Gone for 2 weeks...

Well guys, just letting you know that as off tomorrow I'm leaving to go on exchange in China and Japan for the next two weeks.

I know this is all pretty sudden and I forgot to tell you earlier, so sorry.

But anyway, I'm really excited about this trip! I'm gonna take lots of pics and I'll tell you all about it when I get back.

Until then,

Cyas!

Finished all of Term 3's Assessments

I have like, 2 or 3 days left of school and I've spent most of my time getting my assignments done before the end of term (which has been quite a lot)

In the past two weeks I've been assesssed on identifying humour in English, a (self written) drama monologue (including a masked character I created myself), an Indonesian test and a Co-ordinate Geometry test for Maths :o XD

And assignment wise I've just finished ones for Religion, Geography and Social & Cultural.

I'm glad to have it all done finally :)

Remember the Nickelback concert I went to earlier this year?

Well, if you buy Nickelback's new single for their song "Animals" you'll notice that other the song itself their are two live tracks.

Two live tracks that were actually recorded live from the concert I was at earlier this year!!!

I know that might not seem like a big deal to some people, but it's really awesome to me.

I just felt like sharing that XD

Gonna be gone for a day or two...

Hey guys.

Just a heads up, I'm not going to be able to get online tomorrow, and maybe the day after. I'm not sure yet. But basically, I leave for a Social & Cultural Studies Excursion tomorrow.

We're going to go a Buddhist Temple. I won't go into too much detail now, but I'll give you the low down when I get back.

Cyas!

Please critique this song I wrote...

This is just a song I wrote a couple of weeks ago for the band I'm in "Not to Scale". It's called "Down to Lay" and it's all about the psychological and emotional pressures that exist in "young love" teenage relationships. Anyway, I hope you like it!

Down to Lay

Look into my eyes, and say what I did was right, I did all I could.

Swallow all the lies, and maybe tonight, we could be where we should.

Forget about the rest of the world,

We'll make it just you and me.

If only this world was alright,

Then maybe you could finally be.

If only you could look through my eyes,

Then maybe you would finally see.

[Chorus]

I was lost in you when I was found,

Rescued me right here, when I had drowned.

In the thoughts you had me thinking,

When we lay down again (lay down again!)

Contemplations go abound,

I was death but loved your sound.

In the thoughts you had me thinking,

(I couldn't sleep with these thoughts brimming).

In the thoughts you had me thinking,

When we lay down again (lay down again!)

And as I look into your eyes, I guess it wasn't right.

I swallow in the lies, realize, I guess I could do more.

(When will I learn?)

I've fought my battles, but with no reward

(So when will I earn?)

If only this world was alright,

Then maybe you and I could be.

If only I could look through your eyes,

Then maybe I would finally see.

[Chorus]

(And after that)

I just don't know what to say.

About these thoughts you had me thinking,

When went down to lay (down to lay!)

These thoughts on my mind,

I wish I could just cast away.

(But now I)

Sit in silence,

Hear you pray.

And watch the world go down,

As you go down to lay (down to lay!)

[Chorus] x2

(But now I)

Sit in silence,

Hear you pray.

And watch the world go down,

As you go down to lay...

Level 14/ Thinking of Leaving

I made it to Level 14 recently, which is cool, but lately I've been thinking of leaving tv.com. I mean, I hardly ever come on here except to post blogs and I never post so I don't really see much point.

But I don't know, I'll have to think about it.

I'm also one of the top ten candidates who could become the next mod for the AD:JL Proboards so if I get that I definitely won't be able to come on here much anymore.

I might be able to if I don't though, I'll have to see.

A song I wrote...

Help

When I've lost all my chances again,

And it's all going wrong.

When I'm losing my grip,

And can't seem to hold on.

When I'm just losing life,

And things aren't how they seem.

Would you be there, so I could survive?

Would you be there to hear me scream?

[Chorus]

And I'm falling too...

As I scream for you...

I waste away...

Just pray and say...

If I lost it all...

Would you heed my call...For help?

When I've fallen down,

Can't get back up, can't face the truth now.

Battle it out with fate,

But cannot win (no matter how)

How hard I try, how hard I do,

How I lose it all (and turn to you)

[Chorus 2]

And I'm falling too...

(Help! Help! Help!)

As I scream for you...

(Help! Help! Help!)

I waste away...

(Help! Help! Help!)

Just pray and say...

(Help! Help! Help!)

If I lost it all...

(Help! Help! Help!)

Would you heed my call...For help?

[Guitar Solo - Verse below is dubbed over solo]

Still calling out right now,

I know you'll get here somehow.

I know you'll heed my call

(Just heed my call)

Yeah, you'll heed my call

(Please heed my call)

When I've fallen down,

Can't get back up, can't face the truth now.

Battle it out with fate,

But cannot win (no matter how)

How hard I try, how hard I do,

How I lose it all (and turn to you)

[Softer-Acoustic Guitar only-Gradually return to normal as verse goes on]

And I'm falling too...

As I scream for you...

I waste away...

Just pray and say...

If I lost it all...

Would you heed my call...For help?

(Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!)

[Chorus 2 x2/Normal]
