Ok... things have been REALLY hectic. Haven't gotten any practice... but we're really trying.

Were currently saving up to buy a new drumset. Donate your moneys.

Also, I don't when our first gig will be because we cant catch a fucking break.

The good news is, we now have a Myspace site! You can go their to find some pictures, other Highland fans, and some junk. Check it out:

And, in fact, CLH does rock! I love you Courtney!

"Never badder than bad 'cause a brother is madder than mad at the fact that's corrupt like a senator - Soul on a roll 'cause you treat it like soap on a rope when the beats in the lines are so dope." - Public Enemy/Anthrax, "Bring Da Noise"

I've gotten quite a bit a questions. So I'm gonna give you guys a little FAQ.

Q: Did Highland break up ?

A: No. We are still very devoted to our music. We've just been on a week and a half hiatus. Normie got some lawsuit charges on him on the same week as Christmas Break. Go figure.

Q: What happened to Normie?

A: He got into fight with his stepdad. Charges were dropped. No harm done.

Q: Is Crayon still in the band?

A: Guess not. We still talk but he doesn't ever really ask about practice or playing at all.

Q: Who is Burrito?

A: He replaced Crayon as bass guitarist. He is most likely temporary, but since we can't find a permenent, he could end up staying a while.

Q: Are you guys still looking for bass guitarist?

A: Yes.

Q: Are you guys playing Calvary?

A: If you came to last nights show, then you should know, no we did not. But mark my words we will.

If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.

"Sometimes it makes me want to laugh - Sometimes it makes me want to take the toaster in the bath." - Blink 182, "M&Ms"

Re-vamped a couple songs... did some shit... not much going on... I feel like shit.

Everything has been fucking up for me lately. Luckily, the band has been going smooth. No worries Highland Republicans.

Well, we missed another Venue meeting. Our fault this time. Sorry, Erin. So you guys can forget about the Calvary show. Sorry, Estil...

We're still gonna shoot for the Moose Lodge. I don't care if you guys don't like the Moose. It's punk, you bastards.

Our new stuff kicks, bitch.

By the way, Courtney... I love you, sweetheart.

"Chemist - Master of Entomology - The professor for a modest fee - Will cure what ails you, Guaranteed!" - Primus, "Professor Nutbutter's House of Treats"

Normie had told me that it was HIGHLY unlikely were gonna play Calvary. Why you ask???

Well... from what I understand, Erin (a.k.a. Jon, The Calvary Guy) told him that we have anti-christian comments on our site.... hmmmmm.... where did that come from? I don't know....

So I talked to Erin. I was told that it was due to some comments I've made that he is unreliable. I apologize. Sorry, dude.

Also that someone had posted some crap about him on his site, and connecting it with us. Bottom line is, if we catch you, you will get your ass kicked. Seriously. Don't screw us over because you've got bedroom issues or whatnot.

No worries, though. We've got ourselves a meeting Wednesday.

Good times in the hood, G.

"That's great - It starts with an earthquake - Birds, snakes, and airplanes - Lenny Bruce is not afraid." - R.E.M., "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)"

Well... we've been working like dogs to set this up and we keep getting knocked down...

Here's a list of personal favs:

- No Bassist : Crayon? You there? Your still welcomed to the band. You just need to show some commitment. Crayon's been temporarily replaced with Chip (a.k.a.: Burrito) and hes been on working with us for about a week in a half. He may make it folks. Hes alright in my book.

- The Venue : The guy we're supposed to talk to re-arranged his plans last week. Let's pray Normie got to him today, or there may not be a Jan. 7th. I'm getting pissed. I've got some planning to do with Estil (One of the guys from our good friends, Damien's Day Out) to work something out. Bullshitin, man, but it might not happen at this rate.

- Lack of practice : Its nobody's fault. It just seems like so much work to get together.

- My girlfriend : She's done nothing wrong. I just never get to see her much nowadays. Plus, I think she hates the band. But we love her anyway. She has her reasons... I understand. I love you, Courtney.

- Normie's Girlfriend : Do you hate me?

Ok... Well Im tired... I'll update this tomorrow. Night-night.

I have recently been asked: What are you guys.... hardcore... or pussy core?

Well.... we don't know....

We're pure energy... call it "energycore".... eXc?

Isn't that Emo? Look, I dont care. Drop the label shit. We're old punk kids with a knack for poetry and energy. Just try and enjoy.

Until next time....

"Can't call that justice if its just a stupid excuse to fight." - Operation Ivy, "Take Warning"

We've given Crayon a 2 practice minimum to show up. No excuses. We've got some serious work to be done, and we need a low-end.

"There's a war going on right now and we're not doing a single thing about it - how can I rationalize my life during wartime lie?" - Pinhead Gunpowder, "Life During Wartime"

There's been rumors that Crayon is getting boot from our little club.

Not true.

Crayon is a vital part of Highland's energy and cannot be discarded that easily. Though, I admit, it did come up in practice - but I fought for ya buddy!

As of now, Crayon is still live and kickin in Highland... but we still have the thought on our minds.
