Train Is Finally Rollin'

I started my morning with a healthy hour of spinning in the computer chair listening to Motley Crue's "Dr. Feelgood" album and then after that I got to work on weeding out the lyric mess leftover from the old band. I deleted the ones that had nothing going for them and I put a little work into the ones I wanted to save (there is really nothing anyone else in the band can say about what I do with the lyrics because no one helped me write them except me. Jessica worked on one with me, but I ended up trashing it.). So now I'm back on track lyric-wise and I have been writing some short guitar riffs and saving them in a notebook where I currently have them written as tablature only because I don't have room to put the notes on the staff next to them. I am planning on going to Katie's house with Hillary and Jessica and we are gonna have a little New Year's Eve party of our own. I'm bringing a cheeseball! Whee! Jessica might bring sugar cookies and Hillary is bringing chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. So I don't think you'll be hearing from me in the next day or two until I get home because we are all spending the night at Katie's too. Happy New Year!

How Life Is Gonna Flow?

As you have heard, I left my old band. The reasons were many and I believe I listed them before. I want to be a musician as my career. I can only hope I can find others who share the same dream. I am still young and have a lot of time to do it, but I can't help but feel rushed. Maybe it's because this world is just faster paced than it used to be. I'm hoping to get ahold of Mr. Edwards so I can ask him who that guy is in Carson that gives guitar lessons because I can play guitar but I'm stuck on a few things and I need some help. Piano is going fine and I just went up another level in the books again. (they seem to be flyin' by at the rate I go through them) There is a long road ahead of me and I am sure many unexpected and twisting things will occur, but for the record I want to be in a band that plays well and stays together for a long time, and I'm hoping that Liz will be the drummer because I love her, she kicks ass on any percussion instrument (I've heard her play, I ain't just sayin' that), and because I would like to be with my best friend for the rest of my life or close to it. But that is only if she wants to do it, I'd never force someone to do something, I don't have it in me to do that to someone. Like they say: If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans. Here's to dreaming, working for it, and making it. To myself and every dreamer that still has a dream: I wish the best!

What the hell is going on?

Well, yesterday I was spinning in a computer chair listening to Bon Jovi's "Slippery When Wet" album, when I got a headache about four songs in. I ignored it, finished the Bon Jovi CD, then moved on to "The Best Of Poison 20 Years Of Rock" CD. The damn headache stayed until I went to sleep and couldn't recall anything after that. Then I woke up this morning. I was fine, and then I spun in the computer chair, put headphones on and listened to a CD and the headache was faint. I cleaned my room all day today and then I danced for about half an hour when I finished. The harder I danced, the warmer I got, and the warmer I got, the harder my head pounded (I swear I could hear the pounding inside my head it seemed so loud). The damn thing came back! Then it went away after a while (which was only about a couple hours ago). It wasn't the spinning in the chair part because I have been doing that since I was six. I think it might have been my sleeping patterns where I have been going to bed totally burned out and waking up around noon or eleven. Since my headache is gone again I hope it doesn't come back. I'll see what happens and find out.

New Revelations....

Yeah, I'm still alive and I apologize for this absense..I have been overcoming a few things that were complicating my life. I'll give you the story on things that happened while I was away. Okay, Paul broke up with me on November 20th and his reason was because he didn't feel the same. It was a week's worth of sadness and tears, but I let him go and didn't force him to do something he didn't want to. I got a laptop for Christmas so I'll be using that now. I quit the band I was in because I wanted to write and play music that was different from what Jessica wanted to sing and I wasn't gonna force her to sing something her heart wasn't in. In Hubbardston there are very few people left who have lived in the town all their life (I am one of them but my life hasn't been that long) and an old lady who has known my mom for ages and me since birth named Billie died recently. That one is a long story but after her body was taken care of and the scene was looked at, they say she didn't have a heart attack and fall...The police and the medical examiner say she was murdered...Things like this don't usually happen in a microscopic town like this, sure we have our share of vandals and neighbors convicted of CSC, but no murders. Here is proof that it can happen anywhere. Jessica's birthday was around the beginning of December, she invited everyone just like last year, but i was the only one who showed up. So we spent the time drinking Sour Apple Pucker and flipping through a Rockabilia magazine and eating cake and playing with Ziggy (her cornsnake). Nothing else new that is major....I guess I'll tell you what I got for Christmas since I missed that day too. I got my laptop, Styx Greatest Hits (CD), Trapt: Someone In Control (CD), System Of A Down: Toxicity (CD), Journey Live In Houston 1981 Escape Tour DVD+CD Collector's Edition (DVD+CD), Aerosmith: Permanent Vacation Live In Philadelphia (DVD), The Beatles Love (CD), and Styx And The Contemporary Youth Orchestra Of Cleveland (DVD). Well In case I don't post before then, Happy New Year!
