Trombone

Mr.Obnoxious boy (and the party)

Well
, while I was in Chicago, I met this boy. But not just any boy-


Double tree hotel, top floor, bat mitzah party, Skokie (Chicago), IL- Appetizer's are served. I am sitting next to this 11 year old boy. "Hi, whats your name?" I ask. And he answers with "None of your beezwax!'' Now, kids these days (yes, kids. I admit ), are, well, pretty obnoxious. But this boy was going over the top. "Okay, I just wanted to know your name. You don't have to be mean." " What the h*** is your problem! Shut up! What, are you retarded!" He started calling me some very mean words. including 2 different swear words. "Hey dude, watch your language" " If you don't shut up, I'll go get my sumo wrestler dad! "Sumo wrestler dad (repeat in empathises)" He says he is from Japan. He is clearly not Japanese. And his "twin" sister (Who is clearly not a twin of him") says that he is Japanese! What is going on! "So, where is this "sumo wrestler dad" of yours?'' I ask. "Uh, he's not here right now." "So where is he" "He's at a business meeting." Yeah. A sumo wrestler at a business meeting. Very believable. So, I finally ask the question. "Are you a Cubs fan (because he is to obnoxious to be true)? And the answer is very predictable for a Cubs fan- "None of your beezwax!" But then everyone at the table said "YES" Well, there is nothing I could do with this Cub fan to calm him down. So I just started to ignore him. But at the dessert table he started to be nice. Huh. Well, the party was still going strong. Soulja Boy's new and terrible but popular song Crank That was still playing. And the obnoxious kid was really nice now. But these two little kids were destroying me and rubbing there win in my face in a battle to collect the most glow bracelets. And they were not even Cub fans! Weird party.

Break

Winter break sucks so far. First, we drive to Milwaukee (2 hour drive), go to a hour and a half service (boring), and go to bed at 10:30. Then, in the morning, we get up at 7:45 AM. We get into our dress cloths, and drive to a bat mitzvah. We stay at the service for 1 hour, then I go to a "kids service" witch was just plain old boring. Then we went to our cousins house in Chicago. Since my dad and I are PACKER FANS (cheseheads), we played football in the 35 degree, muddy, rainy, humid weather. And we loved it! Now, since we are in Chicago, my uncle is a Bears fan. Luckily, he is a Sox fan, not a Cubs fan. But the Bears (5-9)! THE BEARS! The second worst team in the history of sports! " And the Bears have a weird setup, with three quarter backs in this one play. And the hike to Orton, who gets sacked by Kampman! But a lateral to Grossman from the ground! And Grossman trips and fumbles the ball backwards. And Griese picks it up! The pass by Griese..... INTERCEPTION! And Al Harris runs it back! Touch down Packers!" Boy, do the Bears ever stink.

Coltrane



The answer to the last poll was true. Coltrane played tenor sax, soprano sax, alto sax, bass clarinet, and flute. My favorite song of his is either Good Bait or My Favorite Things. Good Bait is a very unpopular but great song. It was one of Coltranes favorites. He plays tenor in this song. In My Favorite Things, maybe Coltranes signature piece, he plays soprano sax. You can watch the video right now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_n-gRS_wdI
