Back to School

Well, yesterday was my first day back, and at first it seemed like a good day. But then I walked into my Film/Video class, I realised I had made a mistake. But lo and behold, a call down to Guidence changed the class to Sociaology, Psychology and Anthropology(S.P.A), which turned out to be a much better class then I excepted. After a good one on one game of basketball for lunch(which I won mind you lol), I went to my physical fitness class, more commonly known as Navy SEALs. I did so many push-ups on the first day, that I lost count. I was so tired that I didn't want to go to History, but I did, though I would've prefered not to, but w/e. Then I went home, and wondered what tommorow would have in store for me. Lots of guitar for the weekend, and maybe a chance to do nothing again, you never know(lol).

Guitar Songs

Well, its only been a few weeks, but I've assembled a collection of songs that I can now play(some better then others) on the guitar. They include Revolution, Back in the USSR, In My Life, One After 909, For Yer Blue, Love Me Do(The Beatles), Man on the Moon(REM), Peggy Sue and Words of Love(Buddy Holly). Granted this isn't a whole lot of songs, and not a lot of variety, but it's a start(it also doesn't help that I have a book with all Beatles songs, chords and words, in front of me all the time). But you never know, this is enough to cut an EP(an album that had less then 11 tracks), of classic oldies and goldies(assuming anyone wants to listen to me play all these songs, when they could listen to newer stuff, released by their great artists). But I'll keep playing the Beatle songs, with a few more songs added in here and there, and who knows, this is only the start, and good things start small, like everything else.

The Snow Outside

Well, here I am, sitting around, while the snow falls outsides and continues to pile up. I'm thinking about shoveling snow, but I'm afraid of doing all the work for nothing. So maybe I'll play some more guitar, spam WMG(Warner Music Group), or watch some movie reviews on Youtube(thank you Mrblackmoviereviews!!). But, I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to stay indoors and stay warm. But what makes me even more mad, is that some districts that are only a few kilometers away, that have a snow day. Now I wouldn't want a snowday today, as my sister would be home, and I am on break, so it would just be a waste for me. So that's my rant, I feel a little better(lol). Maybe I'll post later, but I'm not sure yet, maybe some music will help.

Notorious part II

This is an add-on to the below posted item. As you might have guessed, I'm not a big fan of rap, or the rap industry. I think it's a cheap way to make money, and anyone can really do it if they try. Why then, would I put a trailer for a movie about a rapper (Notorious B.I.G), and recommend people to go see it?? The reason being, is this was this is a man that became one of the most powerful people in the music industry. He had the talent, and was able to climb to the top of the rap industry. His tale is one that all people should listen to. It had inspired me to go forward with my guitar playing, and maybe in the right hands, I could be one of the greats. But this message isn't just for me. There are so many indie groups that have talent, and haven't gotten any exposure. My recommendation is that people looking to follw their dreams should go see this movie, cause it just maybe, the movie that'll change your life

Notorious

This movie has inspired me in so many ways, though one of them not being rap lol. Whatever, i recommend that you see this movie if you want to follow your dreams

Music is Life

Wow, how boring am I? Here I am, on one of my days off, and what am I doing?? I'm sitting at my computer trying to make it go faster, while listening over and over again, to Madonnas version of American Pie. God, I can't help it, even though Ill get creamed for it. But whatever, people say I have amazing taste in music. And I won't say they're wrong, cause it's true. As far as rock goes there are few bands that I haven't listened to yet, some which include Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins to name a few(lol). I mean, look at the main page, all those albums are masterpieces when it comes to music, and i recommend them to anyone who wants a good listen. And when i say music is life I mean it. If you can play any one song, thats good. If you can play more then 10, and master them, then you've got talent, and need to get in contact with me someday. I know probabley it won't happen, butit's a nice thought anyways.

Youtube!!

And so, the first month of my Youtube account comes to a close, with me having 43 videos and 3100 views to all of them. Now I know many large partners(people who get paid if you didn't alreday know that) get more views in a day with 1 video then with all mine combined, but what the hell. They're in it for the money, I'm not. I'm in it for the fun of doing Youtube. It's kinda stupid when you think about it, the whole Partner thing. Why can't everyone be a partner once they're over 18?? Can't others handle the competion??? I mean most of the Partners are probably rich anyway, so what's wrong with spreding the wealth? They don't really need all that money, but whatever, I'm just one voice. I don't care for the money, and I don't want it. I just thought that that was something interesting to talk about thats all lol. Oh well.

End of Exams

Well, for me the end of the week means the end of exams, so YAY!! With all the exams done I don't have to worry about academics for another 7 months, so free time for me(well not really, but a little bit lol). Lets see what else happened this week... oh yeah I got the flu, but i got over that so no worrys abouts that anymore(although by gf caught it from me, oops my bad XD), oh and Barack Obama is the new President. Hip hip horray, yippee, joy and all that. Good job, you didn't get shot. I kid i kid, I'm glad to see he's President, though it really matters less to me as I'm Canadian, and I wouldn't change it for the world, so yeah, there you go. So for everyone who reda this(probably noone) thanks and have a good one, ill see you when something cool happens lol :)
