We're still keeping our sense of humor, though:

"I'm trying to be fucking serious with you, and you have no right to just laugh in my face and hang up on me. I'm an easy going person, and I don't complain about much.

You've cancelled practice just as much as anyone else has...and your assumption that nobody wants to ever practice is bullshit. I look forward to practicing every time. I wouldn't fucking be in this band if I didn't want to be...and that goes for everyone."
