It really bugs me when someones soooo not into something and then when the other party moves on they are suddenly interested.
"You don't get it, It's how you are
You only want it when it's gone..."
Oh well, time to move on and hopefully you get the hint.

Substances
It's 1:07 on Sunday Morning, I am bored so I'm going to discuss something I explain constantly.
As many know, I don't drink or smoke drugs. It is a personal choice not because i'm a "pussy" or because "i'm afraid my parents will find out" because they truly don't care (haha) I just don't have an interest in it, I don't judge anyone because of it as you can see with my choice of friends and their liking of the word "Party". I have tried alcohol before and had some beers and I just don't like the taste or the idea. I find a lot of people alter their state to have a better time. I have an awesome time without it. I am often the driver since I don't drink and people assume I have because I am having a good time. I also think a lot of people change their state to impress someone or make themselves different for the better which I think is stupid, why alter your whole life to impress a certain person and not be comfortable with who you are? I don't know a lot of it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Once again, Im not dissing drinking or smoking or anything. Some of it just confuses me!

Holy Shit I forgot about my blog!
Hey
So it's been awhile since my last post. I posted a blog which got me in some shit with some people so i guess I just forgot about it haha. I remembered because my friend Brodie recently posted on his BLOG which you should check out and i've been locked up in bed due to infection in my foot - LAME.
Since my last post - I turned 18, got a tattoo, been to many shows, played many shows, made some new friends and have been booking many shows.
On my "birthday weekend": On my birthday we played a show with some of my great friends in Lifestory Monologue , No More Hollywood , Confessions and Leigh! We didn't play the best as nerves were rising as it was Steves first show and we had technical difficulties but it was a fun 18th birthday! Steve, Brodie and I followed Lifestory to ottawa and montreal to catch the other 2 shows on their little weekend "tour" and had a really good time and made a lot of new friends!
Yes, I got a tattoo. I got a treble clef on the back of my arm. I will not lie - it hurt. I have been wanting this permanently drawn onto me for awhile now. The meaning is pretty self explanatory - I LOVE MUSIC. The night I got it I had a big regret flash but I love it and am glad I got it finally.
I don't know what else I've really done. I have really lost faith in trusting people or don't know if I can trust them also trying to figure out who my real friends are.
Until next time
-Brendan
also I have deleted my band of the week because i just can't keep up I'll just post good bands on this section.

Year In Review - Band Wise 2009
Hey I wrote one of these last year so I'm going to write one again this year. This is what we did in a productive 2009.
January - We started off January with 1 practice (Bain got to try out all his new gear haha) and a solid show lined up, Our first one with the wonderful company Kingston Punk Productions. A really good band named Sydney was breaking up and decided to do one last tour and we got on as an opener in Kingston, Lifestory:Monologue was also on that show, we just had to sell some tickets. We were all looking forward to it until a couple days before the show some conflict happened and due to scedualing conflicts with work we had to cancel this show. I felt like a total idiot for having to cancel but I still went up to the show and it was awesome. We didn't do much the rest of January.
February - Things got rolling again in February, Bain and I played Variety Night at TISS for fun and then we played a free show at Off The Wall youth centre with Colfax. I don't know if it's possible to "sell out" a free show but we almost managed to do it with a crowd of 87 people in a Tiny venue. A couple days after we headed up to Ottawa and opened up a show for Chris from Music is Life Ent. at the New Bayou, which was actually a reallllllly cool downstairs venue in Ottawa its too bad it closed, we played well. On February 28th we headed up to Vankleek Hill to record "The Last Song For Hope" with producer Terry Gillespie for the cd Living in The Chorus which we have for $15 and all proceeds go to Cancer research.
March - I will remember this month the rest of my life. This isn't "with the band" but we still all went. What I'm getting at is the Greece trip. This was one of the best and most expensive March Breaks I've ever had. But it was worth it. We all were in the same room and clearly got into some trouble, but not me since I'm a wimp/or smart (depends on who you're talking to) but the other guys definitely acted the band stereotype haha. We got some sweet video footage and made a video blog which you can watch here www.youtube.com/thesundayfire . After we got back from Greece we played with These Silhouettes at the Pheonix in Brockville. Lame-ish crowd - where were ya!
April - We started April off with a BANG. We played another Raize the Truth night at BCI with Colfax, Kardiac Arrest, A Street Light Sunset and some other bands, it was a REALLY great crowd that night. We didnt do anything else in April, I always thought it was a boring month anyways.
May - 0, zip, nothing, we literally did nothing in may, maybe practiced twice.
June - Unlike April and May we did a lot in June. We got a shipment of our brand new shirts in which look sweet! We started off by playing a really lame (sorry guys from Ottawa haha) house party, We played in a room thats about half the size of our small practice space in front of Jared, Hannah, and 4 other kids but we got free pizza so it may have been worth it. The guys in Colfax organized a last minute show at The Roaring Frog with Us, Them, Leigh and Eric Widinski it was a small crowd but good times enjoyed by all. A couple of days after that our friend and guitarist Ian Bain informed me he was leaving the band he was going to stay for the summer at first but then having a full time job in order of saving up for school didn't let him have the time so on June 19th Bain played his last show with us at Brockville Memorial Centre with Crisis Jane, The Love Machine and a couple other bands. Finding a new guitarist wasn't hard, Scott who played bass for us on Bains last show stepped up to the plate as our new guitarist. Jordan and I also played our first acoustic show in a long time, it was the mantras 5th year anniversary we also played running on 4 hours of sleep as it was the day after grad haha.
July - With just weeks of Scott joining the band we got probably the best oppurtunity in this bands history. We were going to open for Silverstein. Ever since we started this band I can remember 3 years ago when we were 14 sitting in our old singers living room listening to their album Discovering the Waterfront talking like "Imagine we got to open for these guys, ya right that wont happen" and now we actually are was pretty amazing. We didn't play so great though haha although it was still a great show and a good name we shared the stage with. A couple days after we played Raize The Truths last event ever at Hardy Park. It was a long day of outdoor events and we played second last Nick couldn't make it so our old friend Bain played bass, it was our worst set ever haha. Noones fault just bad sound enviroment.
August - We took a vacation break then our buddy Leigh hooked us up with Ten Second Epic show here in Brockville at the Roaring Frog. We opened up and played well it was our first "good show" with scott. Also on the show were The Latency, Today I caught the plage and project mantra. Jordan and I did an acoustic show in kemptville for the cd release of living in the chorus which we recorded a song for in february then played another acoustic show in Ottawa. We ended off august by playing the last show ever at the roaring frog (missing that place a lot) with our new pals in Lifestory Monologue. We had an awesome time at our friend Lily's after party.
September - We were booked to play a headline show in Ottawa at Mavericks on September 12th, it was a big show with a lot of locals. It was the best show we've ever played, people got right into it, it also helps that we got good pay for this show thanks to our tour manager Brodies wheeling and dealing hahah. 2 days after we played at off the wall for a free sohw in brockville and 2 people showed up - lame.
October - We played our friends Abbey Sweet 16 which was pretty fun then we played Ottawa and Brockville with Credible Witness (from Windsor) we were supposed to play an oshawa show but stuff didnt work out. Not a lot of people showed up to either show (why we arent playing Brockville for awhile haha) but still fun times with the CW guys)
November - The only thing we did in November was practice and get an interview in The Voice.
December - Busy month. We started off by starting the recording process for our new ep with our main man Cam producing, we laid down tracks for one song which took us a long 14 hours we are currently finishing up vocals and demoing new stuff. We are getting cam back down here this January and February. We played to the biggest crowd we've ever played to - 600 people at the TISS Chirstmas assembly which generated a new fans and more interest. Unfortunately, that show was Nicks last. It was a good 3 years with him as our bassist We are going to miss him but we're definitely looking forward to working with our new bassist STEVE KIEFER.
Whats in store for 2010? Recording!!! We have a some brand new songs and are still writing new stuff. New myspace layout done by Steve from Hidden City Design - so far it looks SICK. NEW shows/tours. Hopefully gonna play with some big acts.
Thanks for wasting you time reading this hahahaha
