   This Week? Eh. Some Ups, Some Downs.
Hey everyone. Well, This week wasn't good, but it wasn't bad, either. One of those strange weeks. XD

Thursday, I kept trying to write some riffs to my song I'm doing. I didn't get ANYTHING written though due to time constraints and the fact that I wanted to watch tv and talk to Karen on the phone. See, Karen? I'm not overworking myself. XD Anyways, I like the riffs I have now, though I need a few slower ones for this one part and some punk/death metal mix riff for this blast beat. I'm pretty much just trying to get the arrangement of the riffs down now cause I wanna record the drum beat this week and I have to have it arranged to do that.

Thursday I also had my first lesson with Randi in two weeks. I have NOT been practicing that song mainly because it's too hard for an acoustic, so I was pretty nervous going in. I did ... okay for not knowing it that well. Randi took the whole lesson to show me some tricks to play it easier, so that me feel good. I have to learn it again this week, but I AM going to practice it now cause at the end of that lesson I was going through it with ease. ^_^ Randi's the best teacher!

Friday, I didn't write anything AGAIN. I'm so sad now cause I want this song writing thing to be done. I hate producing. XD I'm a writer, not a producer. But hey! Some good news. I've found some things in this music magazine I have that I'm saving my money for now. This SWEET Korg TR Workstation keyboard that can do nearly every damn thing and more. It looks so rad and it's black!!! WHEEEE!!!!! It's $1,299, but I'm going to get it if it kills me. Also, I found this ESP F 250 guitar for $450 that is the best I've ever seen abd the reviews from buyers on the site are all top notch. Wish me luck trying to get them.

Saturday, not much happened. We had some horrible storms blow through here that could have spawned some tornados. If you know me, you know I hate tornados. I don't know how this town has not been hit with a tornado ever, but we're LOOONG overdue for one, believe me. I'm just glad I'm still alive after that storm. But with summer coming, I just know that these storms will be a common occurence. T__T Pray for me and this town, please. It would be greatly appreciated.

Sunday, the storm cleared up almost overnight (Thank God. ^___^) and I got to go to Wal-mart, though that wasn't the main thing on my mind. I found a way to make small cash quick. Sell my video games that I don't play anymore. So, I rounded up games such as Super Smash Bros. Melee, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, and .... Digimon 2? O___o .... and went to the GameStop next door and traded them in. I got a small amount of $26 and some odd change, but hey, it's more than I thought I'd get. I may get to go back today and, if so, I'm selling more games and my Gamecube (I hate you, Gamecube! You suck!!! <^> >_< <^>). So, wish me luck on this endeavor!

Now, NarutoBlackmail gave me a really good funny video to play on here, but it wouldn't come up when I tried to see it. So, EAMR had reminded me of that awesoem South Park episode mimicing LOTR. So, here it is. XDD



I love it! XD

Now, going with the "I don't care what I play this month" philosophy, I'm playing the new stuff by Taking Back Sunday called "MakeDamnSure" off their new album which I don't know the name of yet. I love the visual effects in this video and how they morph in and out of different things. BUT ... the best thing about this video is DEFINITLY the way the lead singer is moving around. You may not know this, but I perform like that ANY time you give me a microphone. XD Anyways, I really like the song so try it out.

This week's question: Do you have any fears?

Last week's question: I would so have a snake! ^_^

Well, that does it for me, guys. I'll see you on Thursday and hopefully have some more cash. *flashes dollars* YEAH!!!! Oh?! Sorry. I got a little carried away there. XD Anywho, take care and stay (sic).
