Revolver Blast by Deluhi

I have a new appreciation of bands. I do not mean boy bands and those 'bands' that have 13 sweet nubile young things prancing around. No way. I mean proper bands, where there is actual singing, instead of lip-syncing, musical instruments played and a wee bit of free dancing. Yeah. Not that I do not recognise that there is a significant industry for candy colours and and youthful vigour. I just don't believe in all that happiness.

Anyway! I tried out Band Hero. Played drums. I died the first time I tried it, and it it took me the second try to get the hang of the beat for the song. Everytime I changed a song, especially a song that was totally foreign to me, I would definitely die. How fast I died depended on how unlucky I was. Not good at all. I think drums are kinda difficult. Either that or I lack practice. I secretly think I'm alright if all I need is 2 tries to get the beat of a song that I have never heard of before. But I'm suresome people out there will say I'm lousy to even need a second try...

It is now Week 13, and my projects are in the various stages of incompletion. Yeah. You can say that I'm absolutely negative and I ought to be buried alive for not trusting myself and my team, but hey. The truth does not change just because you wish it so. The fact remains that we are completely disorganised and that there is no teamwork. No matter how many photos we take. No matter how often we plaster smiles on our faces. No matter how often we say that we are a 'team'. No matter how polite we are to each other. Let us all face it. You hate me, and want to kill me. I hate you, and want to strangle you. See? We have something in common. So stay away from me next semester, and I'll stay away from you. My current motivation for not giving in to my fantasy is because I have no intention of going to jail.

I think software and the various technological advancements are just driving us to our grave faster. Waiting for photos and videos to be uploaded are bad enough, but the real killer is when after 3 hours, the site throws you a pop-up that tells you that there has been an error. And you can jolly well spend another 3 hours to try again. It is beyond infuriating, believe me. There is this urge to throw something hard at the computer screen, though this may just be my restrained anger talking. Maybe everyone loves waiting for things to load, and crash when you think it is finally going to be successful. MAYBE.

My phone's data plan has expired, and I'm thinking of getting a new phone? Any suggestions? I'm thinking iPhone, but is it totally overrated? I know the Blackberry isn't the best because I'm not a fan of tiny screens and teeny keypads. And I know that the various Nokia phones are irritating because of the poor synchronisation. iPhone anyone? I really need advice...
