This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
My new account has a picture of me (without my face in it though) with a white t-shirt, black pants, and a sunburst fender stratocaster. I have my arms up in the air. Its the exact same title as my current blog, so look it up!
- My final post for this account,

I’ve realized my flaws. And I know I’m not going to have a huge change of heart and perspective. In fact, that’s what I did over the summer. So instead of micromanaging, I’m just going to live however I want. Because I know most people In my school are losers anyway, so why be like them? I say fuck ‘em. I’m going to do well school, play music all the time, and hang out with tight-knit friends. Its sounds good to me!
I’m also getting back into Piano. I used to play as a kid. And now, I’m going to relearn my skills, along with improving my guitar skills. Today’s song…Bennie & The Jets.
Wish me luck!

It is as it sounds. I mean I learned a lot of stuff on guitar, and I got better, but what else? I stayed the exact same weight I was in May. I got a fender stratocaster finally, and its amazing. I played guitar everyday, and sang. My voice sounds a lot better too. And I did a lot of personal thinking. Oh, and I really killed my video game addiction. I went on 2 trips, one with family, one with a friend. Both were great. We had a family reunion with my fathers fiances family, so we could get to know everybody. That was awesome. I’m gonna have a lot of cool uncles…and one hot aunt (not related in any way, of course. She’s Indian actually). I’m a lot better friends with my brothers, through lots of…experiences. Same goes for my sister, not sure why, but yeah. Really for my entire family.
I also got over the girl I thought I loved. Not completely. I really don’t think anyone ever gets over another person entirely. Even with girlfriends I didn’t like a whole lot way back when! I think its because you give them your trust and love, and when they go away, they take some of it away. And the only way to get it back is to love someone else. I have a Love/Hate relationship with love. Love is like snow. Its only good when it sticks. Other wise its just mushy and cold and ruins your day. And you can’t go sledding.
I like that metaphor. Cheesy, but everyone loves some good cheese secretly.
I thought about a lot of stuff. Life. Religion. Love.
What do I want to do? Do I want to be a musician? Do I want to find love? Am I really christian? Do I need to micromanage my image?
Thats always been my biggest flaw. I always was too detailed and over-the-top. Very self-conscious. Low self-esteem. All these questions were to much. Now I’ve never seen Lost, but goddammit it felt like an episode of that shit; 100 new questions and no fucking answers.
In the end, I got some answers. Yes, I want to be a musician. I just need to go on a journey to find out more about myself. I need more experience and more information and inspiration.
Do I want to find true love? Of course I do. I just don’t know if it will meet me halfway. Until then, on the inside, I’m lonely.
What do I want to do with my life? Inspire others, be remembered, and make the world a little less dim and foggy for everyone.
Do I have a religion? Yes, I do. I’m christian. It was hard for a while, because my history teacher really fucked my head up with a lot of stuff from the past. I realize now there is dirt on everything, no matter how much you’d like to imagine there isn’t. Its the vain people that messed with my perception, not the base ideals. Which Is why I’m not terribly enthusiastic about reading the bible. Everything is perceived wrongly. Or maybe I’m wrong. Any way you want it, I beleive in God.
I’m no longer micromanaging things. I’m done analyzing everything. I’m more determined and confident. I have more balls. Also, much more ignorant. But I wasn’t at all before, so, what the hell. I’ll try the baby out!!
I feel like I’ve done nothing this summer, but I’ve had one of the most times of my life. I did everything this summer.
Is it too much to ask the free porn sites to be a little more discriminating in who they chose as advertising partners?
I don’t expect to see banner ads for Coke or State Farm on a site devoted to providing videos to frugal porno fans, but it’s disconcerting to hear “CONGRATULATIONS, YOU WON!” blaring from my speakers while some runaway is on the receiving end of a brutal piledriver.
Especially since “Congratulations, you won!” is already what I say right after I come.
The feeling is mutual, I’m sure.
I was addicted to videogames for about a year. I admit it. When I started playing guitar, its went out the window almost completely. I still, like them…but don’t play the as much as often.
Theres just one game I really like. The Mass Effect games.
Essentially, Mass Effect is to me like crack is to a crackhead.
And I’ve always loved Space exploration, so it just makes it that much more awesome to me.
Ahh!
I feel like I’m 5.
I’ve been expanding my horizons lately. Not necessarily on just listening to music either, also in playing music. I’m getting a lot of Jazz/R&B/Blues mixed in when I’m jamming. Sure, I still will play like a rock star, but I’m feeling a lot more deep and relaxed lately, so I’ve been noodling around. It has been extremely fun and beneficial to my playing. My favorite thing to do is just Mixing in two songs from the same artists. What I’m doing right now is mixing Lenny in with Riviera Paradise, while adding a little person touch in too! Also just learning more about the music universe.
What was this about? Oh yes, songs. heres a list.
Human Nature (Michael Jackson)- Really digging the original recording and John Mayers subtle, smooth guitar playing on it at the memorial.
Lenny (Stevie Ray Vaughan)- Something about the laid back, reminiscent vibe of this song that gets me. Its an amazing style break from the rest of his music, which is in no way bad either.
Wait Until Tomorrow (John Mayer)- I do not like the original Hendrix version of this song. He trys to sing on beat with the drums and guitar, but he doesn’t do it well at all. Its redundant. Mayer, however, took the same guitar playing, tweaked it, gave it a new beat, and sang freely on it. He made the song relevant and listenable, and for the, we thank you
Thats it. Really, I haven’t been listening much lately. I’ve been playing guitar all day, and then around 9, pop in Mass Effect 2 (for the third time…) and play till around 12:30. Then, go to bed, get on my computer, jack off and go to bed. Really. The weather has been terrible, and I’ve been feeling bad lately, so that what goes down.
I’ll post later.
