Lol, as im sure the few readers ive got have noticed, I havent been blogging for squat lately, so Im gonna get back to that. To catch up, ive had a VERY good life lately. SAT's are over (good grades as far as i know) Christmas has gone by (and the bounty was good) and tomarrow is universal.
Thats right, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS BABY!!! My girlfriends gift to me, was a ticket to it (shes in her schools marching band and gets tickets there when they go march at places like that.... I know, its friggin awsome). I got her this nice watch but... still, like that can compare to a full day with just me, her, and two friends, completely rentless. Oh, and did I mention we're gonna have FASTPASSES FOR THE DAY?!!?!? As it would turn out, my cousin works there, and is able to get us fastpasses, and a few line skips and frontrow seats for the day. Yup... life is good... definatley good...
Oh yea, and we got a WII XD and thanks to the giftcards i got from my fam, me and my bro were able to get an extra controller, nunchuck, and a few videogames.
LIFE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

An amazing homecoming
Sigh... ya ever have one of those nights where everything seemed to go perfectly? That basically summed up homecoming for me. Ya see, my girlfriend and I go to different schools, and though that may seem like a problem, we've got things like youth group on Wednesdays and fairly free weekends, and then whatever may happen to come in between (though that almost never happens). It's really great to spend time with her, but it seems like its never for long enough. (maybe 4 hours at most).
And that's where homecoming came in. Due to some scheduling issues, she wasn't able to come to my school's homecoming, which in all honesty is fine with me, because tickets for both of us would've cost $145. Now I'm not gonna lie, i am not a rich kid with money out the wazoo, or even a job, though i wish i had one. She means a lot to me, but there was just no possibility of being able to afford dinner, the dance, and a picture with prices like that... saddley. So, thanks to a friend of mine, we were able to go to dinner before the dance, which added to the total time i got to spend with my certain someone. All in all, we were able to spend 7 amazing hours together, without anything going wrong whatsoever (despite my paranoia).
Also, thanks to my awesome step-dad and grandparents, I had all of the necessities for the dance (like freaking clothes to wear to it, they weren't even accepting kids to show if they didn't have a tie, or dress shoes. Wtfruit is up with that anyway?)

How to use duct tape in an awsome manner (for him and her)
How to make a colored Duct tape wallet
Rip a 10 inch (25.4cm) long piece of your basic color (silver in the example pictures) with the sticky side up.
Place another piece (10 inches as well) sticky side down, on top of the first piece, halfway down.
Fold the top portion down and flip the whole thing over.
Place a piece of the other color tape across, just overlapping the non-sticky piece.
Flip and continue the pattern of flipping and adding the original color until the piece is about 8.5 inches (21.6cm) long.
Fold the sticky edge over, as before, to make the piece 7 inches (17.8 cm) long.
Cut down the sides to make it 8.5 inches (21.6cm) wide, make sure both sides are straight.
Lay the sheet so that the color strip is on the back, at the top. Fold the bottom up so that it is .5 inches (1.3cm) from the top.
Fold in half the other way, and set aside. It may be a good idea to place something heavy on top of it, to keep it folded.
The Pockets:
Make two 10 inch (25.4cm) by 3.5 inch (8.9cm) strips in the same was as before, using the accent color.
Cut both in half (5 inches, 12.7cm) and trim the edges.
Fold the small rectangles so that the back is .5 inches (1.3cm) longer (the front should be 1.5 inches (3.8cm) in length).
Repeat this step for all 4 rectangles.
Take two pockets and put them so that the back of one is on top of the front of the other. Make sure it is straight and tape them with a piece that folds over both sides. Repeat on the other pockets.
Trim them again.
Put one on the left side of the wallet. Measure how long the pockets need to be. They should be right along the bottom and 1/4 of an inch (.6cm) from the side.
Measure 1/4 of an inch from the center and mark that on the pockets. Cut along the line.
Repeat for the right side.
Take a piece of the original color, about 10 inches (25.4cm), and attach it to the outside of the wallet so that it covers the same color along the bottom Do not stick this to anything on the inside just yet.
Place the pockets in their correct places.
Take a 5 inch (12.7cm) piece of the pocket' colored tape and, using an X-ACTO knife, cut it to be 1 1/4 inch (3.2cm) wide.
Attach that piece to the center of the wallet over the pockets. Place one end at the bottom of the wallet and wrap the top into the bill fold.
Fold over the bottom piece of tape so that it holds the pockets down. Trim the edges.
Sides:
Take a piece of the pocket color that is 5 inches long and tape it to the left side so that 1.5 inches (3.8cm) are on the outside, and the rest folds over to hold the pocket on the inside.
With the X-ACTO knife,cut off the ends very close to the wallet.
Repeat on the right side.
Take a 10 inch (25.4cm) piece of the pocket color. Attach it to the cutting mat. Trim the ends and cut it to a width of 1 1/4 inch (3.2cm).
Use the X-ACTO knife to score and cut the tape holding the bill fold closed. Cut to the edge of the wallet.
Put one end on the inside of the bill fold, behind the pockets. Place about 1/2 inch (1.3cm) inside there.
Keeping it straight along the edge, tape the piece down to the bottom of the wallet. Tape it around the bottom edge, making sure the ends of the other tape is smooth.
Continue along the outside, straight. Bring it back to the inside and let it tape to the inside of the bill fold about 2 inches (5.1cm). Keep it close to the edge.
Repeat on the other side.
With an X-ACTO knife, score the two pockets that were just covered.
Pull the pockets open and saw the pocket to right near the edge of the pocket. Do not go to the edge of the wallet.
Repeat for all four pockets and the bill fold.

How to make a colored duct tape tote
Make the bottom of the purse by drawing a 5.5 inch by 3 inch (14cm by 7.6cm) rectangle on a piece of paper. Apply duct tape to the back of the paper rectangle. Cut out the rectangle.
Line the outside of the bottom of the purse by applying duct tape to the back (paper side), leaving at least 1/4 inch (.6cm) of the sticky part showing.
Make two long sides by making two 7 inch (17.75cm) long duct tape fabric (laying duct tape out and overlapping the edges to form a piece of duct tape) of 3 pieces of duct tape.
Tape the inside color of duct tape over the outside pieces, sticky side to sticky side, in a perpendicular direction. You will need to leave at least a .25 inch (.6cm) part of the sticky tape showing on one end. Use the bottom to mark with a pen how wide the inside should be.
Know that if you place the two sides next to each other as you apply the inside color of tape, you can cut them apart when you are finished.
Make two narrow sides by making a 5.5 inch (14cm) long by 3 pieces wide fabric of duct tape with the outside color. Use the bottom template to mark with a pen how wide the inside should be. Apply the inside color leaving at least 1/4 inch (.6cm) sticky part showing on the long sides.
Fit the sides together matching up the inside tape and sticking together with the exposed sticky parts.
The three little red dots at the top are gummy bears overseeing the project.Trim the top and bottom of the purse to be straight. Trim the sides of the purse leaving 1/8-1/4 inch (3-6mm) sticking out.
Attach the sides to the bottom of the purse. This can be a bit tricky. Start with one long side, laying it next to the inside bottom. Press onto the exposed sticky part of the bottom. Repeat for each side until it is attached. Trim the corners of the bottom so that the sides will stick out again.
Make handles for the purse by folding a piece of duct tape into thirds. Attach these to the purse with a strip of the inside color of duct tape.

An update
Time for an update by the B-rad
First off, if you notice the time I wrote this and think its odd, well then Im glad my readers arent complete idiots. There was a half day at school today, meaning we get out at 12:30 so thats why Im blogging so early today. Well, we had our homecomming parade/peprally/candy throwin/float gloating day today, and my hands HURT. If i havent mentioned earlier, I play in my school band and play the snare (the drum that isnt huge). Now, you might not realize but, after playing for over an hour strait ur hands start to CALLACE from playing as loud as we do (we've turned breaking sticks into a game at this point) and your shoulders want to DIE cuz you're carrying a 22lbs weight around on 'em. We did pretty well, and the peprally was... peppy (shocker right?) and now we've got a football game in 5 1/2 hours to go to, but because im in band, I have to show in 3 hours and 20 minutes or risk an angry band director (you've no idea how much a stressed irishman can freak untill youve seen our Schmidty) to get dressed, get my snare ready, warm up for the show, and then march over. BLEACH...
But I guess i shouldnt complain, ive got some time to unwind, and play my bass. Ah yes, my bass. Ive officially named her "Sandrah" due to the sleekness about her. Now that Im a little more aquainted with her, I can say the fire that first brewed in with me when i found out the awsome might of the bass has been re-kindled with the receiving of it. By "it" I mean the bass. Now, the band and I just need to get together for a practice and we can see how she fits in. Hehe... lets hope my voice gets better before then
And that reminds me, My sickness has for the most part left me, and now i just have a majorly stuffed nose, and a VERY odd sounding voice. I litterally cannot speak at a certain highness of my voice. It just sounds like someone scrapeing their fingers accross a guitar when I try to, and my voice sounds deeper cuz of my nose. Lets hope it passes soon.
Well, thats all for now! I am gonna go chill!

A bittersweet monday
Well... todays been really... odd for me. I got my bass, and there was no school today but... I cant stand for more than a few seconds without feeling like im going to pass out. In other words, im really really sick... What is a guy supposed to do when he needs to "drink plenty of fluids" and yet, it hurts to swallow? Well unfortunately, he's supposed to drink. I even woke up around 5:30 this morning with a killer headache, and couldnt get back to sleep. So i just had to lie there in bed with a sore throat, wishing i had some advill and a glass of water for about 3 to 4 hours. But on the bright side, I finally got my bass. It does buzz to some degree, but if u play it properly (ok mabey "properly" isnt the right word. More along the lines of plucking versus slapping or poping the strings, which is good because i dont really play those styles) it sounds fine.
I havent even really played it today. Im SO sick that i wasnt willing to play the item ive awaited to receive for 3 months and 6 days. So yea... bittersweet day.

How to REALLY screw with peoples heads
Well, since i was too much of a bum to make some other "how to's" Im doing two this week, so for those of you reading, be prepared to MESS WITH YOUR FRIENDS MINDS!!!
HOW TO HYPNOTIZE A CHICKEN (i learned this one from an uncle of mine)
1. Lay the chicken down on its side, with one wing tucked under its body, and its head flat on the floor.
2. Use your left hand to gently hold the chiken steady
3. with the index finger of your right hand trace a line, 1 foot long, straight out from the tip of its beak. Repeat this movement until the chicken is in a hypnotic trance.
4. To wake your chicken, gradually raise your voice until it comes to, and runs away.
HOW TO TELL IF SOMEONE IS LYING.
1. Unusual stuttering or stammering may suggest that tehy are nervous and could be an indication to lying
2. Note any changes in the person's pattern of speech. See if they seem high pitched, put on a silly voice, speak too quickly or slwly, or use unusual words. For instance, does it sound as though the person has memoriezed their story by heart?
3. Watch out for visible signs of stress or nervousness - sweating, twitching, scratching, rubbing, looking away, shifting around, crossing and uncrossing the legs, rapid breating - all of these indicate that the person might not be telling the whole truth.
4. There are other signs to consider. Get the person to go over the story again - but not in sequence. ask probing questions. Does he or she seem confused? Or appear to contradict him or herself? Ask about unimportant detail (along the lines of "What color was his t-shirt"). Someone who is telling the truth is less likely to get muddled and anxious, even though they might have forgotten some of the details.
5. Some say that if the "suspect," when questioned, looks to the left, they are inventing and if they look to the right, they are remembering. Perhaps you could put this theory to the test.

GAHHH!!!!!!!
GAHHH!!!!!!! ok i am soooo ticked right now! My bass guitar was supposed to show up today (thursday) which was pretty sweet, cuz that ment i had two days to make sure it worked, and fiddle around with it to become more affiliated with it before our next band practice (hopefully saturday) because I have no school band practice, or a football game to go to, and then the weekend would hit, but as it would turn out, its comming in on monday. That just means ill have no time to really play it due to the fact that durring the week, ive almost no time to do anything whatsoever because i dont even get home untill around 6:30pm after school due to really retarded stuff, then I have about an hour of homework, not to mention school band practice I have to do on a weekly basis. So yea... so much for that.
TOTAL BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TOTAL BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A bass guitar set
Ok well... I did some more research on my behalf, and decided that there is NO way my parents are going to get me a bass guitar unless its dirt cheap, and part of a set. Though it pains me to do this, im going to ask my parents to get this set for me. From the reviews ive read on the set, its a decent bass that buzzes ever so often. Also its a good beginner bass. So... pray that my parents listen to me on this one... *rubs temples*

How to fly a helicopter
1. On your left-hand side there is a lever called the collective pitch stick. This adjusts the main rotors so that the helicopter can move up and down. It also has a twisting handle that controls the engine's speed. By increasing the lift and the engine speed at the same time you will make the helicopter rise off the ground
2. Directly in front of you is a joystick called the cyclic pitch. This makes the main rotor tilt so that it can pull the helicopter backward, forward, or sideways. Move the joystick in the direction you wish to travel.
3. At your feet are pedals that control the tail rotor. Use these to spin the helicopter in any direction.
So very annoyed... -.-
GRRRR!!!! i am soooo annoyed right now... well, the thing is, my parents promised me a bass guitar for my birthday. Now, I love my parents and all, and i know that they'll stick to their word 99 our of 100 times, but 2 months have gone by, and we havent even browsed in a music-related shop for it. Ya, i know that that makes me sound like a spoiled brat, but thats not where the story ends.
Ya see, my younger brother's birthday has just gone by and my parents are getting him a new PS2!!! They even went to a wallmart (the nearest one to us is like... accross town) to check out the price on a PS2 just yesterday!!! Now, obviously that gets me REALLY pissed, but hey, its his birthday! Put a smile on! its not a penny comming out of my pocket right? And I'll even get a PS2 for my own room! But then my mom has the brilliant idea to get him a PS3!! And that gets me thinking, shes willing to get that little punk a $500 gaming station but shes never willing to even take me to some music shop that apparently doesnt rip you off??Thankfully she hasnt actually bought it yet so i cant be completely annoyed right? Well she then has the nerve to suggest that i chip in for it!!
COME ON!!!! I put at least four hours of my own time to research on cheap bass guitars and amps that actually work. I did everything possible to save the money i made on my birthday without seeming cheap, so i could chip in for the bass guitar my parents said they would get for me, and oh how well that went. All i have left from the $104 i got is a twenty dollar bill!! I had to go to 12 different sites to find something that didnt completely suck, and that wasnt 300 dollars! GAH!! sigh... i love my parents and all, but sometimes... ugh...

how to do an ollie
1. As you skate, place your back foot on the tail (back) of the board, and your front foot halfway between the nose (front) of the board and tail.
2. Crouch down in readiness to jump. Push down on the tail with your back foot.
3. Now straiten your legs, effectively jumping into the air. The downward force of the tail will make the board come up with your front foot.
4. As the board rises, slide your front foot toward the nose. Then, with that foot, push down the nose.
5. Lift your other foot to allow the tail to rise as the downward force is applied to the nose.
6. The board will now be level as you reach the peak of the jump. Then gravity takes hold, and you and the board come down.
7. As you descend, bend you legs again, to absorb the impact of landing.
2. Crouch down in readiness to jump. Push down on the tail with your back foot.
3. Now straiten your legs, effectively jumping into the air. The downward force of the tail will make the board come up with your front foot.
4. As the board rises, slide your front foot toward the nose. Then, with that foot, push down the nose.
5. Lift your other foot to allow the tail to rise as the downward force is applied to the nose.
6. The board will now be level as you reach the peak of the jump. Then gravity takes hold, and you and the board come down.
7. As you descend, bend you legs again, to absorb the impact of landing.
Death by basketball?
Ok, i reaize the title is odd, and your probobly thinking this has to do with the news. Well ya know what? your not gonna find this story anywhere else but here so i suggest you keep reading. Alright well, here's the scoop.
My parents decided to go on a romantic cruise (ugh... visions in my head that DO NOT NEED TO BE THERE!!!!!) without me and my younger brother. Now, about halfway in their cruise, the ship docked at Jamaica. My step-dad, being the sports fanatic that he is, decided to stay on ship and play some basketball. He is a very carefull guy, and not at all a halfwit like many kids might expect. But, today was going to be odd for him.
Well, the basketball court was on top of the cruise ship, and, needless to say, was surrounded fairly well by a fence of netting. This was mostly true in all areas, except in one particular area just above the metal fence that held the gate in place to get in. There was about a foot of space between the fence and the net. He went for a jump-shot, the ball bounced off the backboard, bounced away, and went right in the space!
Thats not at all where it ends, the ball bounced a few times on each deck, and eventually landed in the dock. Needless to say, my step-dad is horrified. He ran down to the lowest deck to see if he could see the ball and couldnt find it. All of the sudden he hears a voice yelling at him. It was a man on another cruise ship! Litterally about a hundred yards from where my step-dad was standing!
The man kept shouting and pointing down to tell him that it went... well, down. Of course my step-dad is totally freaking out at this point. Worried that he couldve just taken someone out via basketball. There really wasnt much he could do, so he went to his cabin and contemplated on what might come of this incident. Fortunately though, nothing very eventfull happend to him and (praise God) he was not arrested for possibly killing someone.

"If Only" By brad rohrer
"If Only" A song by By Bradley Dean Rohrer-Colvin, Bilbao I
(guitar interlude)
I smiled at you and you smiled back,
I got so excited almost had a heart attack,
The kisses were long and you said they were sweet,
But you're not here now and it doesn't mean I'll cheat,
(chorus)
If only you were here beside me now,
Id be telling you oh how oh how,
I care for you,
And you know its true,
We were holding hands in the church pews,
You'd tell me "wait" when I'd wink at you,
"The kiss will come soon"
(It will be soon)
Chorus
We could hang around by your pool,
Those glassy eyes of yours are just like jewels,
Without a word we can say so much,
Speak up to volumes with only a touch,
The lady of my dreams just can't be here,
And if she was Id be grinning ear to ear,
And singing her this tune all day long,
A feeling like this just cant be wrong
Chorus

"Her Chronicles" #1
Alrighty then! Well here i am, on post number four, of my blog. Now, Im gonna get right to the point here. My girlfriend (The very girl I went out with over the weekend) is an amazing writer, and i recently asked her if i could put her stories into my blog and have it as her own lil section. She, being the awsome girl that she is, allowed me to. So... well heres number one of her chronicles.
It had been an oasis in a sea of turmoil, something beautiful amidst the ugly. Fro three days, life had been so wonderful. She had been completely and utterly... content. All this passed through her mind as she stood among a couple hundred of her classmates. Various names, faces stood out to her, but it was better if she closed in on herself. Then she wouldn't hear the vulgar language, the horrid topics.
Her weekend felt like a dream now, blowing away on the wings of the oncoming storm. She tried to remember the weekend, to lose herself in her memories, but they were so far away at the moment. How could total bliss fade to something such as this?
There. She had latched onto a memory. She could see his face in her mind, smiling at her. The world around her faded away slowly, gradually. She was lying on the floor again, at her friend's house. His fingers gently stroked her hair, and she smiled at him, eyes slowly closing as she relaxed. She couldn't look him in the eyes; her emotions would overpower her if she did so. At that point in time, she hadn't trusted herself to believe her instincts. What if she was wrong? What if she got hurt again?
The world faded back into focus. The line was moving forward, the call for more people being issued. She inwardly groaned. It was crowded enough where she was. By some miracle, she had progressed inside the building. She leaned against the wall, glorying in the air conditioning. Only a little bit longer now...
Again her mind drifted. He was being so sweet to her, it was nearly unbearable. Right now it was a beacon of hope in the boredom. To her, it appeared that they were exactly what the other needed. She was there for him whenever he needed; he would treat her as she properly deserved. Even if it didn't last, at least they had had this.
She smiled. This... dream of a weekend had to be real. It was the only thing keeping her from depressing herself right now. She could not wait until the school day ended, so that she could talk to him. For now, all she could do was write, and wait for the day's end to approach.

No longer a jellyfish
Alright well, as of this weekend, I am officially no longer a jellyfish that is the scale of dating. For those of you who dont understand what I am talking about, allow me to explain. A group of friends of mine and I are creating a scale. I was the bassis of this scale, simply because I refused to show emotion towards girls, out of a raw and irrational fear of messing up in someway and looking like a complete idiot.
Ok... so mabey "irrational" isnt the right word... I'm about as good with the ladies as a mentaly challenged sea sponge. And, in case you were wondering, thats number one on our scale. It took me months to tell one particular girl that i even liked her! I know, its sad, and funny. But I have slowly grown, and have finally made the leap and asked a girl out. This would make me about a four on the scale.

How "B-rad" came about.
Alright, well I realize that I'll probobly get all kinds of questions about where "B-rad" came from, so i guess I might as well tell you all now, before i get said questions.
Well, back in third or fourth grade, under a hot pavillion waiting for the neuscance that is P.E., a close friend of mine, William, realized something: just about all of our names ("our" refering to the closely knit pac of friends we had made) could be changed into sentances through a simple bit of letter pronunciation. His for example, could easily change into "Will-i-am". Mine on the other hand, was able to be changed into "B-rad" (pronounced "be rad"). It seemed to be of little importance that day, but as it would turn out, a few years later I mentioned it to my youthgroup, and I quickly became known as "B-rad"
This, however is not where the story ends. Being proud of my knewly formed nick-name, i told it to a friend of mine that I had made a school-transfer later, and he quickly shared it with most of my grade. Now, I can honestly say that I am not very high up on the social latter that is the zoo known as the "clicks". I am but a humble band-member. But, the name being new and different, the more popular kids quickly dubbed me with the name as well, and am therefore known as "B-rad"

Well... the beginning
Alright, well, considering this is my first blog, I suppose i should start off with telling a bit of myself. Well, I like to believe im a fairly understanding gent (hehe... gent... funny word) who is willing to listen, but, like most people, doesnt always agree. For the most part I like to make people laugh. I have a file on the acclaimed site "youtube" that normally involves comedy acts, or just random stupid stuff. I guess im pretty funny overall, otherwise I probobly wouldnt try to make people laugh.
Not only do I enjoy laughter, Im very musically oriented. I've been in my school band (the name of which shall remain known only by myself, and those who read my blogs that know me personally) four three years, and am now moving into my fourth. I am a percussionist, meaning i play the drums. Well, to say the drums isnt neccassarily true. I play also things such as piano, xylophone, marimba, tamborine, chimes, triangel... im ranting now... i guess u guys get the point.
Speaking of music, Ive recently taken up Bass Guitar. Im saving up for one, but my parents have promised me one for my birthday (which shall also remain unknown to those that dont know me personally, though I'll probobly reveal it to you all eventually) but, I figure saving up will make it happen a bit sooner.
I guess thats enough for most of you to read at the moment, so I shall return in the marrow for more on... well whatever comes to mind I suppose, hehe.
