nothing has happened between me and my girlfriend. we're doing fine. i love her to bits.

this is about my band. NextGeneration™

it all started out as a normal forum thread. Ash intended to organise a jamming session, book a studio and just have fun. Ash dropped it in a few weeks time, giving the excuse that he had financial difficulties.
sadisticnoob and nicholasimz took up the project and pushed it forward. we got the moderators attention, and they tried to contact the ones in charge but the 2 of them did not make an effort to.
why?
plain laziness.

awhile later, joey told me all about it and i decided to contact them and was glad to know that, we're invited to perform in one of their events. after that, i took over the whole project. getting members of the forum to go for a 1 day 2 hour trial. progress was slow but pretty good..
in the end, i was made the backup vocalist cos i wasn't as good as kingpounder in drums at that point of time.
after much persevering and much effort put in, we made it.

needless to say, after everything, we tried to get together once more.
i replaced kingpounder as the drummer. Firethorn, our professional guitarist was uninterested in jrock songs, much less to say, going into visual kei.
it was left with Carol, Ash and me. we were still looking for 2 other guitarist.
first came kesh, then nelson.
after that, we had our usual sessions with nelson as the single guitarist most of the time and carol doing the vocals while Ash was doing the bass.

and then, i recieved a phone call from him asking me to go down on friday, to teach his drummer , DRUMS.
his drummer, is from the lion dance. and he plays, the lion dance drum.
hes interested in drums, so he joined Ash, Sebastian, Kesh and another girl whos going to be his vocalist.

cool, im left out. hello, you have a drummer on standby here. what am i, invisible to you? oh, i am being so BHB. i want to be in your band. but lo and behold, you got a friend whos into goth fashion(just because of that) to be your drummer and he knew nothing about drums.

so you say, hes going for drum lesson eh .
you intend to play at the EOY event, Cassis, Nausea and Shudder(lol?), Baretta(LOL?!)
cool, maybe you can get some lion dance costumes too. it'll help a lot.
might give a lil bit of a lion dance feel in the drums.

you left the band just like that, after ALL OUR EFFORTS to pull everything together.
you're gonna say, "what effort? like you got put in any effort at all" why? all you did was to get your friends to trial for guitarist positions. im happy and i appreciated that.
and you're now going to abandon us all, have you spared a thought for carol who knew nothing till i told her about it?

just because that GUY is your friend, you got him as your so called drummer who doesn't even know a simple 4/4 beat.
you expect him to play those 3 songs by the end of this year, what do you think this is? last minute extreme makeover?

as the band leader, i AM emotionally affected. you left carol and me behind just so you can join your friends JUST because they're more into goth fashion.

oh gosh. im just plain jealous and feeling left out after all.
