Firestorm

Damn you, Mr Paul...

Oh well. 81-1 can win first place in the west right? lol. Regardless of last night, I'm still optimistic. It'll be a good season.

Its funny how people can surprise you. Every Tuesday and Thursday, Ronnie, Claude, Joomee, and myself go to LAPSI(Learning Assistant Program/Supplemental Instruction) for California history. Going to this not only gives us extra credit but it also elaborates on the lectures. Anyways, LAPSI was running late today because no one could open the room up or something? So while we were waiting we were just chatting and playing with my mac and then all of a sudden this older man named Jeff comes and says "hey cool mac, I see you got some garageband action going on here" We start laughing and then he tells us about how he records. I would've never guessed. Oh, by the way, Jeff is in LAPSI as well as our history class. Joomee goes to the computers and checks her emails and then Jeff starts talking to us about his history in the music business. The whole time he's talking, I'm just like "no way!" I least expected this guy to do music. He has an album on vinyl which I thought was pretty neat. He was talking about how he worked w/ some of the 80's biggest pop groups and how his 1st wife screwed him over from being famous which Ronnie, Claude, and myself got a kick out of. He then showed us some of his music and while it was playing, he was just rocking out in the hyman hall. It was amazing seeing this dude full of life. I would have never expected this from the man who sits in front of class, constantly asking questions. To be honest, I thought it was sort of annoying but I got to know the dude and he's not bad at all. He's a really nice fellow. My perception of him was completely off. Its always a pleasent surprise when people exceed your expectations. It was a nice way to end the school day. What was once a gloomy rain filled afternoon was brightened by this man's enthusiasm and outlook on life.
