Band Name Ideas

One of the greatest things I have had the pleasure of doing in my life as of yet has been being in my band Panadamonium.

I've loved making music, playing live shows and just hanging with my bandmates who have become some of my best friends.

One thing that I have grown to like less and less is our band name Pandamonium.

So here is a list of better band names:


  • Mr. Pasta and the Sause
  • Celebration Application
  • The Scribbling Day Dreamer
  • Lightfighters
  • Bud, not Dudly
thats about it

Ryerson, I know you missed me...

I had this idea for this post a while ago, around the time of graduation in June.
Now I have finally decided to type it up, partly because I want to actually finish something I start writing.

One thing that I learned from highschool is that, so often we make assumptions about "who people are" based on our first experiences we've had with them or experiences many years ago.
I mean, personally I do this probably more often than I would like to, and I think we all do this because it is natural. It's human nature to stereotype; the first humans probably tried to avoid lions to not die, and who ever decided it wasn't ok to put all lions in the same boat of predators was probs killed (Sorry if that joke was awful, but I wrote it so it fucking stays.)
Anyways, what I'm trying to say is these assumptions seem to often bring out the worst in us.

I'm only 18, and to be honest I don't know much about what life is really like after high school, but this is what I've observed so far.
I guess how we often define people is through how we view them for the first times. And a lot of the time, we grow and learn to see them for who they really are and not just as a stereotype.

BLAHGH!  I feel like what I've typed so far is pretty crappy, I'm having trouble with my words conveying the thoughts in my mind. I guess I will try to use example.

I feel like, I've pretty much always loved humor, and I wanted to be a funny guy. That seems fitting since I was voted our class clown in high school, but I was not always viewed as funny by those around me. I was a shy quiet kid. Then for some reason, I stopped giving a shit about making a fool of my self and made a fool out of myself. (I think I was the only kid who looked forward to pep rallys) 
What I realized is that I'm lucky, ya know, people didn't only view me as the shy kid, they were open to let me be funny... a comedian is only as funny as a the audience lets him be.

But the thing is, Some kids a trapped in these cliche stereotypes, where people refuse to view them any other way. There are some kids I knew who were much funnier and wittier than I was, but no one would see it because in middle school they were viewed as "the weird kid" or something

I guess the main point is that people can change, or at least situations do. We need to view them this way.






But anyway here's another topic, that  I will type really fast and not spellcheck!
When i made my blog name I thought of Rich Brenner, my cousin or something like that, who thought of the name when we were trying to make a band name. I really liked it but I speled sauce wrong, I though suase was the righ spelling.
Ya, I'm done writting for today, sorry if it left you empty and longing for more like music by the smashing pumkins or a low quality pizza which was kinda small, but you want more food not neccesarily the medirocre pizza




PS. If you buy a PC sometime soon it comes with this one song "Kalimba" by Mr. Scruff on the album Ninja Tuna. It's a sweet song

I'm Back!

          Yeah you heard right my friend (I say friend because usually only one person reads this, and if more people read it then I still use the singular because I want this to feel like  a one-on-one bro session.)

          Man, I missed making blogs, ya know? you just type and type and type and don"t really have to edit it. just keep flowwww. But anyways, sorry for keeping you on your feet as I'm sure your life has been slightly empty (only a bit) without Mr. Pasta's pointless blog. So lately I've been all up in the writing so this is chill for me to be writing this post.
Yeah, I've been over at McCater, at rehearsals for "Tap Dat" my play which is being performed and directed by professionals (wow, what a fucking smug bragger (Also if you want to see Tap Dat live, buy tickets here http://www.mccarter.org/ticketoffice/eventdetail.aspx?page_id=7&event_id=6826 )). Yeah sorry if I seem like I'm bragging but I just am typing kinda fast, just putting thoughts onto screen. But yeah I have been spending a lot of time writing revisions for my play, and it's a lot of work, but really rewarding and fun.

       So, you might be thinking, "Jeremy/Mr. Pasta why should care about you and your writing and stuff?" well you shouldn't but you may if you'd like. More importantly I bring up this subject of my play to talk about English education and writing.
       I have never been an English scholar or anything like that, but I perceive the way that writing is taught and evaluated by many teachers in pre-college education (or at least what I have experienced) seems to be kinda what some people may call  "a joke." I don't want to insult English teachers, but there is definitely some truth to this description. First off, let me say that I understand the importance of being taught standard english writing and being exposed to formal writing, but I see a huge problem with the way almost every English teacher I have had (especially those I've had high school) teach and evaluate writing. The problem to me is that, they make it easy to write BULLSHIT.
      Think about most times you have had to write an essay on some book, especially those in class essays. Everyone ends up writing the same thing, in the same fake "intellectual" voice. I mean, I'm super-guilty of this. I just want to get a pretty good grade the easiest way possible so I will try to sound scholarly without having any insight of my own or trying to use my real voice. Why don't I use my real voice, like I'm using now? Well,  first of all then I probably wouldn't talk about the book, secondly we were taught to write more formally. I probs have more to say about why this writing can be bullshit and how in school everyone puts on facades to write writing that they will NEVER reflect on and won't make them a better writer, but I forget things because I think muchhh faster than I write.

         Anyways, I'm not saying that I think we shouldn't be exposed to writing, I actually love writing, in case you couldn't tell, but I am saying that there is soooo much more than fucking 5 paragraph essays. And so much to be inspired by. I mean I hate writing school essays, but I love playwriting, because I feel like I can use real voices and my own... that's also why I'm doing this now.

      Yeah, so, if your ever bored... maybes try creative writing?

Thanks for reading!
one day this will be history

Bore

I haven't posted in a while, I just thought I would because I know this interests Ryerson. Also this is history for the future.

So, Today I didn't get into I car. I would say didn't leave the house, but that would be a lie because I took my dog on a walk.
I was woken up at 8:30 AM by my dad to install a microwave. I was extremely tired from stay up till 3 am last night doing practice problems for the AP physics exam on Monday, but I thought at least installing the microwave would be easy.
It took till 12, then I took a 30 min nap and studied more. i ate a Bologna sandwich at one point.
somehow it was 10:30 and my mind was like "screw this!" but more incomprehensible so like "scbni pooitps!"
Then I played Portal 2 for an hour which was super interesting.
Now reflecting on my day, I think "wow.... I hope I don't have to do this again"

But on the bright-side I'm not reading someone else's blog about a boing day they had (hehehe irony)

But uh, i hope yall enjoyed this digital letter. If I were less tired this might actually be interesting...


also I realize there is grammatical and spelling eerrors and crap like that. But i don"t really want to fix them. Instead I will say bye

B.F.

A short poem/monologue by myself:

BRAIN FART
Do you ever have those moments when you're in the middle of a conversation, but you totally forget what you're saying?
Yeah I get those all the time.
Yeah, those suck. But what I wanna talk about is that... um-uh....but-uh...(sigh)...shit
Aw crap! I was about to say something really important
-NO! stop talking!
 I'm trying to remember what I said...
...wait I think uh... 
-SHHH... Shit. I lost it again.
Oh my god! this is soooo annoying!.... I swear I had it
Ugh! why did you have to talk !? I almost had it back
-WAIT!..eh-eh... Fuck...
I lost it AGAIN.
I swear its really important.
...
I think I'm gonna cry.
WAIITT! wait! I actually got it!
... Piano Man by Billy Joel is a pretty good song.... just wanted to say that

Yep... there is my monologue

Your's truly

-I got a ticket for runing a stop sign two house from my house.... pooop! 85 frickin bucks!?!?
-I was already at my house parked and headed inside when she pulled me over
-why would the cop do that?
- well its ok at least I''m not as cop-like and portly as she was

-I like being in a band
-practice is fun
-also building sound proofing partitioning out up old carpet and the Les Mis set was fun ;)

- now I am with D man my girlfriend she is soooo pretty :)
-I am actually studying for physics and she is writing an essay or something
-here is proof of my studing
--V is constant in parallel
--I is constant in series
--The greater Resistance in a circuit the more the Wattage decreases
-- Heat increases resistance
---- this is the biggest problem with Direct Current power supply DC
-----AC is used in power lines Alternating Current
--------but we use DC in stuff still like phone chargers

OH also I got In LMU School Of Flim and TV for Screen writting... :) So I guess Tap Dat was pretty good
