5.00 AM / April 5

I now truly believe that since watching Man U win the treble I will never be able to see Man U play a good match. You see, I don't have cable and since TV rights have sky-rocketed I pretty much have no soccer to watch. But thanks to an external antenna(I don't even know if this is spelt correctly), I can watch the UEFA Champions League through an intercepted transmission of Malaysian and Indonesian free-to-air channels. And seriously, every time I watch Man U play it never looks like what I read about in the papers. I know that this is Europe's premier club competition but come on...Being outplayed more times than I can count on my fingers and not being able to answer back is kinda retarded.

I think I know the problem. Man U's first team is stellar while their reserves are like Man City(I know this dosen't make sense). I'll try to explain. Except for a few notable players (i.e. Park, Solksjaer, Heinze,etc) there is no considerable quallity in their reserve side. It's only made up of a group of players who have never really made enough of a mark to really own a place in the first team. Example : O'Shea. He's been in the team for a considerable amount of time but has yet to really show that he can own a place in the first team. The most he can do is make cameo appearances in the form of a late substitute. Other than that, he hasn't really stepped up. But when it comes time for them to step up they stutter. So when crunch time comes (and this usually happens during the Champions League) they seem to under-perform. Thus the bad performances that I am left with to watch.

Jamming this Friday again. It feels so good to jam again. Last Friday was a blast and we jammed in the best studio I've been in ever. There was actually space to walk around. There was even a sofa. Cool right? And damn this new band is great. I don't know if it's permanent but it sure is great. I was playing bass and I didn't have to worry about anything else. Everyone kept in time except for a few slip-ups where we forgot the arrangements but it was great overall. I got two songs to learn, Razorblades by Story Of The Year and Sleepers by Saosin. Sleepers is a tough song to learn. The riffs are just all over the place but I managed to grab a hold of it quite fast. Now I'm just left with memorizing the arrangement for Razorblades and I should be ready. Can't wait to jam. But one little thing...We need a VOCALIST!
