Grounding and Bands

Welp i'm back. Got grounded for a quick min bc I missed a day of school and my grades r kinda ass. Gotta stop being late to school and missing my first period. Didn't do much in the time that I was grounded but I started a band. Fucking crazy right? We're a bunch of clowns based off emotions and colors. Our name is T.E.A.R.Z. We got 6 members currently. Idk if one of the members can commit doe since they are a friend of a friend and can't really come to practice since we plan on practicing in our schools practice room, and practicing outside of school isn't really an option at the moment. 

Sometimes I hate being broke and in the city cuz we don't have a fucking garage in someones house that we can practice at and shit y'know. Plus Dominican mom don't want me at nobody's house (can't really get mad at her for that).

 Thankfully my house is an option we can practice at but, I live on the highest floor of my apt complex with no elevator, and barely any space. Maybe in the future we can rent out some garages where we can practice when we have money, if the band lasts long enough and everyone stays together.

 We're not really taking it too seriously and it's more of a hobby. If we happen to get famous or something, fuck it we ball.

 All of our characters have their own personalities and emotions and stuff. My emotion is love since happiness was taken. Hearts are one of my fav shapes anyway, and I like thinking about hopeless romantic characters who don't really understand love and likes anybody who gives them attention is cool to think about. It's ironic doe cuz I don't think i've ever felt love romantically like that before (i've been in 2 relationships so its funny). I think when I dated those people I more liked the fact of being in a relationship. IDK I don't understand romantic relationships. IM BITCHLESS (willingly thankfully).

Anyways. I love love songs and writing a hopeless romantic character and them falling in love with people they've never spoken to before is really interesting. I don't know how to play anything but I am currently learning the piano so I can have some contribution to the band aside from my vocals. 

One of the biggest problems with the band is that we're all in high school. were in the city so everything is expensive as fuck and hard to get to, and the fact that some of us are beginners with instruments and don't have any of our own. You can get a cheap keyboard on amazon which is fucking awesome but my financial situation is down the fucking drain right now and for a min we could barely afford food.

 I'll try and save money but TBH theres not much space in my room. Idk, maybe I could keep it in my closet and whenever I need to practice I pull it out and practice in my living room. I don't think my mom would be too fond of me getting a musical instrument at the moment because of money and space. Plus it's not really a need.

 I just started out and what i've been doing to practice as a beginner is, I sneak into the practice room on A days (my school has a A-B day week) and use the piano, and use the simply piano app and shit. I'll see what I can do with the money I save up. My birthday is also quite far so I can't really ask my dad for it as a birthday present.

 One more problem is finding a place to practice. Maybe renting a garage is good since we we're looking at prices and locations of rehearsal studios so we wouldn't have to buy instruments we can't afford, and they are either SUPER pricey, or reaaaaally far. Like all the way in Brooklyn typa far.

It's best to rent out a garage and save for the instruments if we want this shit to be for the long run and have a lot of commitment. Shit I might start selling my yarn wigs for some money. Im making a commission sheet cuz I really need the money at the moment. I'll start looking at prices for the instruments we need and a garage in manhattan or smth and see if what we can all do. Wanted to plan to meet up to wear our masks since we decided to be faceless but it's going to rain all weekend so I have to wait for another day to work this shit out. I guess I'll get to working. Thats all. I was kinda just ranting sooo.

Peace
