hmmmm....it finally happened...i recieved my first 2 at solo and ensemble. its not bad, but definitely not up to my playing ability. i crashed and burned so many times during my solo...i thought i was definitely gonna get a 3 or 4...anyways after i finished playing the judge says...did your teacher ever teach you that you press down too hard on the fingerboard? ....? uhhh heh well after that he said thanks and i was off...no "good job" or whatever...so i didnt expect too much. anyways what was cool was i got to hang out with patricia tan afterwards. we went to some poboy places....and we sat and talked for a while....then we walked all the way down to guadalupe, where i once again saw einsteins(where you can play time crisis for a quarter) and then we went to co-op where patricia helped me pick out a shirt....which took forever since im so picky...anyways she wanted me to get a BLUE one for some reason...so yea...then we went back to the music center where we waited for another hour or so....then we were finally off. on the way back...they decided we should stop at fudds and eat...so eric and i go in and order brownie sundae or something like that....they had arcades, and naturally if they have tekken tag(or any form of tekken) i go play...i beat the game in one try...which is amazing cuz ive never done that before....then eat my sundae which was too sweet...so we get back on the bus and head back...the choir people are so freaking loud...it was really annoying cuz they sang for like an hour straight. i could hear them inbetween the shane barnard cd....JEEZE. anyways we stopped a couple times because our bus sucked like crap and i found out that some of the choir ppl cant sing...so ehh...anyways the night goes on and we actually left austin at 630 and we just got home at 11....so yea, it was cuz we were going 40 mph or something. the orchestra ppl ended up playing the "if you love me baby, give me a smile." game and of course i was sucked into it...but i didnt want to play...so they finally got me to go up against johanan...so i did the magnum look...and then did something really really gay....then asked the question and i got johanan to smile...he almost got thru the response, but didnt make it. they played that over and over again....by that time, the choir ppl were out cold...heh oh well i wanted to be loud and obnoxious because thats how they were...but oh well...the night is over and im exhausted. time for some sc

last JPG meeting tonight. its the end of one chapter, but a beginning of something new...but i dont want it to end....

Packing up the dreams
God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.

With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.

JPGs 4-LIFE
God bless all of you...

today we had our last orchestra concert. it was really bad. we played like crap. oh well, anyways in the warmup room ppl were asking me if i was getting an award. it was like auto-response on aim. Auto-response from the chumonster: "no" well turns out i was mistaken. before the last song, mr isadore started talking about the seniors being the freshmen when he first started and us putting up with him. then he said something about the first award, about it was awarded to a student who played well and was active in orchestra or something to that affect. i forgot the name of the award...haha well he goes, "and this award goes to jeremy chu" my first reaction was look around me just in case there happen to be another jeremy sitting around me...but no...there were no other jeremys...so i kinda sat there with a suprised look on my face because i was indeed shocked. well turns out that isadore always thought i wasnt a really great player, but this past solo and ensemble, he happen to walk by when i was playing my solo and simply amazed and suprised. he told me later that he thinks i underplay, as in i dont play to my full potential. he also said that i play well when i need to, which is true cuz the only time i really try is when its important, like solo and ensemble or region. anyways he thanked me for putting up with him for 4 years. so in conclusion to my long boring story about getting an award that i thought i wasnt gonna get....isadore isnt a bad guy...you just have to get to know him first...took me 4 years...he says corny jokes and sometimes acts like a girl...but hes a cool guy.

i just started listening to this song, and its so awesome

"Mood Rings" by Relient K


we all know the girls that i am talking about
well they are time bombs and they are ticking
and the only question's when they'll blow up
and they'll blow up; we know that without a doubt
cause they're those girls, yeah you know those girls that let their emotions get the best of them


and i've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
so we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking
cause what they're thinking...


she's so pretty but she but doesn't always act that way
her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost every day
she said to me that she's so happy it's depressing
and all i said was "someone get that girl a mood ring"


if it's drama you want then look no further
they're like the real world meets boy meets world meets days of our lives
and it just kills me how they get away with murder
they'll anger you then bat their eyes; those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize


and i've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
so we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking
cause what they're thinking...


she's so pretty but she but doesn't always act that way
her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost every day
she said to me that she's so stressed out that it's soothing
and all i said was "someone get that girl a mood ring"


cause when it's black it means watch your back because you're probably
the last person in the world right now she wants to see
and when it's blue it means that you should call her up immediately
and ask her out because she'll most likely agree
and when it's green it simply means that she is really stressed
and when it's clear it means she's completely emotionless (and that's all right i must confess)


we all know the girls that i am talking about
she liked you wednesday but now it's friday and she has to wash her hair
and it just figures that we'll never figure them out
first she's jekyll and then she's hyde....at least she makes a lovely pair


mood ring oh mood ring
oh tell me will you bring
the key to unlock this mystery
of girls and their emotions
play it back in slow motion
so i may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind

you see that my last post was at 9:40pm last night...turns out i didnt make it home until 3:30am. i actually arrived at the tso's at 9pm. lex, peter and simon get there 20 minutes later. simon goes to the wrong house, but he eventually finds it. anyways lex tells stanley that his video is only 10 minutes long, whereas mine is almost 40 minutes. therefore stanley decides to capture it first on his comp cuz he has the firewire so that he can send it to stevens comp so steven can do the editing while stan works on my video. however, stanely, for some reason, cannot get lex's video onto his comp. his comp couldnt detect it or something....so yea...i waited at least 3 hours and spent the time talking with steven and stanley. i also spent that time trying on steven's many many shoes. ive decided that i really want some air riffs...but im gonna have to go to the outlet cuz theyre only $30 and on ebay theyre like $60 i think...well they were last time. anyways when we finally start capturing my video its already 1am...and i had 40 min of footage...then came all the editing and music and whatnot...so i finally get home at 330, i record it onto a vhs tape and go to sleep. well at least my video was pretty good. so thanks alot stan
