Will they be able to handle their best friends not being by their side 24/7?

i'm apparently part of a band now? i mean none of us live close to each other but i'm making contributions to this group's songwriting and like i'm the only guitarist so,, i probably have to stay but it's stressful when you're trying to write your own songs for your own projects and then there's all this school stuff hanging over your head and it's like you're procrastinating on literally everything.
i'm painting my own killjoy mask. i got a party poison one but i'm doing one for myself too.might go crazy and cut the sleeves off a denim jacket i never wear and use all that fabric for patches for uh. crust punk jeans or something. maybe i'll learn to play in drop d tuning, maybe i'll go in the basement when people leave and teach myself a good ol fashioned screamo scream. learn to play the solo for demolition lovers and go nuts, do that song both guitar and singing. figure out how to use the multitracker thing i have and learn how to actually record stuff. i can't be "productive" by societal standards right now. i gotta create. i don't like how we live in a culture of guilt with that type of stuff. if art is supposed to come out of world crises there shouldn't be any shame in that.
Its JakePittsOfficial if you wanted to find it
I was watching his old vlogs he did, from like 4 years ago
it got me thinking
So i was watching one of his streams earlier and someone mentioned how BVB and him have inspired them to start playing guitar, or bass, or whatever and he said something like "you guys say that we inspire you and that amazes me. See, if you really get after this and do a lot with this, you can inspire the next generation, and they inspire the next generation, and so on." and it just got me thinking because like, i wrote a song, yall saw Raise Hell (if you didnt self promo here it is https://www.mychemicalromance.com/news/raise-hell-3517406 ) and I really like the whole sound i have planned for it. But see i dont ahve anything to put that sound in it other than my voice and shitty programs that my Chromebook allows but now i really really want to like, start a band or at least start sharing shit ive made.
My dad has a bass guitar in his garage and he said he'd clean it up and let me use it and now i want to do that. I gotta stick with it though.
I randomly get inspiration to write a song or a melody and sometimes ill just start recording and let shit flow and usually it isnt good but like, sometimes it is. Trial and error.
Raise hell was just an awesome thing that came to mind almost fully put together. I had the chorus and the intro playing in my head before they were written.
The rest just pulled together as i was typing the lyrics down.
Im watching this video and he walked up to the stage and its fucking huge. I know what being up on a stage like that feels like, though technically not as a show. It was just hype at the end of a stay away camp week.
Still.
I liked that feeling. It was terrifying as all fucking hell but like as soon as i got my ass over the stage fright and actually danced to the music playing i was losing my fucking mind.
It was so fun and so cool and such an amazing feeling.
I really want to get out there
I want to play music
I want to show off my art
I want to express myself and let other people see it.
I couldnt fucking care less about what people think of me. Honestly. As long as i have those few good friends i know wont leave me, Im good.
I really, really reallly really want to be up on a stage, singing my fucking heart out to a song i wrote and hearing people sing it back to me.
Its not even the self-hype or whatever its called, its just the yearn to share the shit ive made.
I really want that.
I want that so badly.
Now I just gotta figure out how the hell to do that.
An airline industry body says it has been told coronavirus quarantining will start from the end of May.
Former India batsman VVS Laxman took a jibe at Michael Clarke for his recent claims that Australian cricketers "sucked up" to India captain Virat Kohli for protecting their IPL contracts, saying just being nice to someone doesn't guarantee a spot in the cash-rich tournament. Clarke, a former Australian captain, raised several eyebrows after he claimed that there was a phase when Australian cricketers were so keen on protecting their IPL deals that they felt "scared" of sledging India skipper Kohli and his teammates and instead "sucked up" to them.
"Just by being nice to someone doesn't get you a place in IPL," Laxman, who also mentors IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad told Star Sports on its show 'Cricket Connected'. "Any franchise will look at the player's caliber and value add to the team, which gives them desired results by winning matches/tournaments. These are the kind of players who get IPL contracts. So just being nice to someone will not earn you a spot in the IPL." Laxman, a veteran of 134 Tests, said as a mentor when he is on the auction table, those players are looked at who do exceptionally well for their country.
"If you're friendly with any Indian player it doesn't mean that you are getting IPL contract. As a mentor, I'm on the auction table and we select players, those international players that have played exceptionally well for their country and can add value to the franchise. "Friendship with any Indian player doesn't ensure entry into the IPL," Laxman, who amassed 8,781 Test runs, said without mincing any words.
VVS Laxman
Former India opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth also shot back at Clarke, terming his comments as "ridiculous". Srikkanth, who was part of the 1983 World Cup winning Indian team, said matches are not won by sledging. "You do not win matches just by sledging. Aussie's loss is a loss, his statement was ridiculous I would say," said 60-year-old Srikkanth.
Srikkanth, himself an aggressive player, said that sledging cannot help in any way. "If you ask Nasser Hussain or Sir Vivian Richards who are experienced players, you can never score runs or get wickets through sledging. You need to play good cricket and showcase determination; you need to bowl well to get wickets and bat well to achieve targets. Sledging cannot help in any way according to my opinion," he said.
Australian Test skipper Tim Paine had earlier hit back at Clarke, saying his team avoided provoking "any fight" with Kohli as part of its strategy to keep the Indian captain's bat quiet, not a ploy to save IPL contracts.

Actor Sonu Sood has decided to provide meal kits to over 25,000 migrants on a daily basis in Mumbai during the Muslim holy month of Ramzan, which begins from Thursday. "Times are so difficult today that it's very important for each one of us to stand for each other. Through this initiative, I would be helping all those who would be fasting during this period and we would provide special meal kits so they don't stay hungry after fasting all day," Sonu said.
The initiative will help these migrants who have come from faraway places like Bengal, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Before this, Sonu started a ration drive to help the needy during the ongoing lockdown.

Shah Rukh Khan recently announced several initiatives towards coronavirus relief to support the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and the state and central governments in their fight against COVID-19. The actor has also gone a step ahead and offered his four-storey personal office to help the BMC expand their quarantine capacity, which is equipped with essentials for quarantined children, women and the elderly.
Recently, his wife Gauri Khan took to Instagram to share a glimpse of their office, which has now been converted into a quarantine facility. In the video, we can see how the private office space has been transformed into quarantine quarters. The work has been completed by Gauri's firm Gauri Khan Designs in collaboration with Meer Foundation.

"Making space for each other. #MeerFoundation has effectively transformed the 4-storey private office building, offered by @gaurikhan and @iamsrk, into quarantine quarters under @my_bmc's guidance. In this fight, we stand together stronger than ever before," read a post on the Instagram handle of Meer Foundation.
Apart from converting his office into a quarantine facility, Shah Rukh Khan has extended a lot of support with his group of companies.
