I wrote all this stuff in college thinking I'd never forget it, but 7 years later, well, it's hit or miss sometimes. I'm pretty sure I have the chorus right, but I can't even remember the verse words. Anyway, I have no idea where it would be. If I could find some box full of old notebooks/class journals there's a good chance it would be in there, but I don't know where those boxes are... maybe in the garage.
Also thought about that tape of my songs I made out at the Twin's fairy house in California, and sent off to all the girls. I need to ask if anyone has a copy and then figure out how I can transfer it to CD/mp3, because that's a bit of history that would be nice to have. Just a simple tape recorder, the quality is probably crap, but I'm sure there is an innocent charm/joy to it.
Remembered how in those beginning days I was more confident, or maybe more clueless, or just didn't care, or expected less of myself, but how I carried my guitar around campus and stopped in the street to play someone my latest song that I was so excited about. Wondered why/how/when I lost that freedom of expression and brought the critic in so harshly.
Finally gave in at about 4 am and went downstairs to grab my laptop and watched a couple of episodes of Ugly Betty before going back to bed again. When I woke up later I finished the last episode and then caught up on Samantha Who? I feel kind of stupid that watching those shows was something on my nagging to-do list in my head, but I like the story lines and the characters and it's a bit different than mindlessly watching whatever is on.
Spent most of the day in bed, bummed that I was missing the Cafe Paradiso Grand Opening of their Everybody's branch, I had really wanted to check it out (I've seen the cafe, but it seemed like it was going to be a fun event). And tonight I'm missing the Funkin' Donuts at the Broadway Building Paradiso.
Now I'm just hoping I'll be better in time for my radio show on Tuesday. Work I can do from home if I'm still sniffly (I did it from home on Friday), and normally I'd just have them throw on an old show to cover for me, but I have an interview so that's a bit harder. If I keep taking care of myself I should do ok though, I feel like it just got me and needs to run it's course.
Bit frustrated though, I've tried to do my music theory homework twice today now and my head has been too clogged up to focus properly. It's hard enough when I have a clear mind, like this it's brutal. I just don't want to get too far behind because I already need to correct last week's, do the exercises AND assignments from this week's, and tomorrow a new week starts. CRAP.
My mom came over this afternoon, said that Peter Pan was REALLY good. Can't wait to see it. I showed her our Halloween pictures, she hadn't seen them yet. Maybe you haven't either:
Should be if you click on it you'll get to the rest of the Halloween set of pix. People kind of freaked out at the piercing, but they were just little bits of plastic glued on. It was neat because on my way to the store I was trying to figure out how I could pull off some facial piercings without actually piercing anything, and low and behold, next to the black lipstick was a whole little kit of piercings. The chin one came off partway through the night but all the rest behaved properly. I don't think I'd ever have the desire or the guts to do anything other than a little nose piercing on my face in real life, but it sure was fun to be a total badass for a few hours. And I thought G looked pretty hot too. :D
Speaking of hot, time for a bath and back to bed for this sicky poo. :(

oh, that song!!! I sort of remember the bass part to it. I'd imagine I'd have a MUCH MUCH easier time playing it now than I did at the time. :) I don't remember much of the words, though.
I'm finding I've kind of hit a wall musically of late. I'm kind of at the limits of what I can do with what little I have current in my mind. I really need to pick up some new skills and techniques. Is very frustrating.
Yeah, that one. I hoping I can find it. Usually the chords will come back fairly easy once I have the words...
I totally know what you mean about hitting a wall, I'm hoping that the stuff I'm doing will help me break past that. The theory class is preeeeeetty dry though, and it's a a bit hard to see how it's going to apply exactly, but I suppose it's good to have that foundation. sigh.
