Flight to Athena
The background of this band is somewhat of a funny story. They are a hometown band from San Diego, and played at Warped Tour and the local county fair. A few rumors had been spread around by the upper classman at my school that one of the Chem teachers was in a band, but no one really knew about his music because you could not find it on the internet. On the first day to school, we show up to our Chem period and our teachers name was Brian Miller. He hands out a syllabus about the rest of the year, and the first thing I notice is that his email is listed as bmiller@flighttoathena.com. So I'm wondering if this is the guy that people were talking about, and at the end of the period he mentions that he is in a band and that we should check him out.A little bit about Mr. Miller before we continue. He has the largest cause of ADD that I have ever seen. The man is by far the coolest teacher I have had in my life, and is a pretty good teacher to boot. His course is a little hard, but I've always enjoyed a challenge. I wouldn't call him skinny or fat, just in between, and a little bit on the short side.So today I finaly decided to check out his band. They are on Itunes if anyone would like to buy a copy of their EP. It's self titled and only five dollars. Two of the songs are really amazing, Blameless Vessel and Speak Indie. The other songs are pretty good. Turns out that Mr. Miller is the lead singer for the band, and his voice is crazy. He doesn't really seem like a singer, I thought he was a guitarist. But, he wrote all five songs and sings them, which is really amazing. Hopefully you guys will check out the band and support them.
Today is as good as it gets...
Happy New Year!

Well, footballs over and I feel....
Well, first off I'd like to say congratulations to the San Diego Super Chargers! Winning that game 21-7 to the half and scoring 42 point to win 49-41 was incredible.....Philip Rivers in amazing for a first year starter quarterback...He's no Peyton Maning, but he's solid, and don't even get me started on LT.... There is no new way to describe his amazing play....
Anyhow, my high school football season is over.... we came 7-1-1, with the loss going to a team that was 2 - 3 divisions ahead of us, and the tie going to our last game where we played a varsity team, and we should have won but the ref didn't see the penalty on the extra point that they blocked in the last 5 seconds of the game, but we still tied, which is okay.... Gears of War came out, and I already want to buy it... I also did a lot of thinking about what I wanted for Christmas, and decided against getting a Wii because the only game I wanted to play was Twilight Princess, and I can just get that on my 'Cube... I also downloaded the demo for Battle for Middle Earth II on my Xbox 360, and that game is so much fun I'm going to buy it... Chargers are playing Broncos this week, for the division championship.... It'll be fun.....Oh, and good win for the Eagles....Nice double hand spring if you know what I mean...
