Ugh, my life just got turned upside down. I mean, I was living it up, doing my own thing, and then suddenly this little nerd shows up and ruins everything.
I still remember the day my mom told me she was getting remarried. I was like, "What? Are you kidding me?" I mean, I was doing just fine without a dad, thanks. But no, she had to go and find some new guy to marry. And of course, he had to have a kid. A kid who's now my stepbrother. Josh. Ugh, just saying his name makes me roll my eyes.
At first, I was really bitter about the whole situation. I didn't want some new person coming into my life and disrupting everything. I liked things the way they were. But, I guess my mom was all like, "Oh, Drake, you'll love having a brother!" And I'm like, "Uh, no, I don't think so." I mean, what's the point of having a brother? I've got my friends, my band, and my guitar. That's all I need.
But, of course, my mom didn't listen to me. She never does. So, Josh moved in and took over my room. I mean, it was like he just invaded my space and started making himself at home. I was like, "Dude, this is my territory. You can't just come in here and start putting your stuff everywhere." But he just looked at me with those big, annoying eyes and smiled. It was like he thought we were going to be best buddies or something.
I have to admit, at first, I was a little embarrassed about having a stepbrother. I mean, Josh is like the ultimate nerd. He's always got his nose buried in a book or something. And he's so... awkward. I was like, "Man, how am I going to introduce this guy to my friends?" But, as I got to know him, I realized he's not so bad. I mean, he's still a total dork, but he's got his moments.
One thing that really gets on my nerves is how he's always trying to impress me. He's always like, "Drake, can I play your guitar?" or "Drake, can I come to your band practice?" And I'm like, "Dude, no. Just no." But he keeps trying. It's like he thinks we're going to be friends or something. And don't even get me started on how he tries to imitate me. It's like, "Dude, you're not cool just because you wear the same clothes as me." But he doesn't seem to get it.
Despite all the drama, I have to admit, it's been kind of cool having Josh around. He's always good for a laugh, even if it's at his own expense. And, I've got to admit, he's got some pretty sweet skills. I mean, the kid can hack into anything. It's like, "Dude, how did you do that?" And he's like, "Oh, it's easy." Yeah, right.
But, at the end of the day, I'm still a rockstar, and he's just a nerd. I mean, I've got my band, my guitar, and my fans. He's just got his books and his computer. I'm the one who's going to make it big, not him.
Speaking of which, I've got a gig coming up this weekend. I'm so stoked. I mean, it's going to be a huge crowd, and I'm going to totally rock their world. I've been practicing my guitar non-stop, and I'm feeling like a total god. I mean, who needs a stepbrother when you've got a sold-out show?
I'm thinking about inviting Josh to come to the show. Not because I want to be nice or anything, but because I want to see the look on his face when he realizes how awesome I am. I mean, he's always trying to impress me, but I'm the one who's going to blow him away. He'll be like, "Drake, you're so cool!" And I'll be like, "Yeah, I know. I'm a rockstar."
Anyway, that's it for now. I've got to go practice my guitar some more. Later, diary.
