Whilst driving home today I looked in the rear view mirror and noticed that that sun was setting behind some clouds. Man...I jammed that throttle and ran in the door, up the stairs, by my Mum, telling her that the sun was doing crazy shit behind the clouds and that I needed to use her tripod, and into my room to change into something other than the work clothes that I was in. I changed into a pair of jeans, my coffin belt with the barbed wired wrapped heart belt buckle (of course), a button up shirt, and my battle worn boots, threw a roll of 200 ISO and 400 ISO color film and a roll of black and white film into my bag, grabbed the tripod from my Mum's outstretched hand (God I love that she understands the rush) and dove back into my car and flew up the canyon to the closest high area to take the pictures. I ran like a mad man up the trail, bounded up a rock, and set up and shot the 200 ISO roll of Fujo color. By the time I got up there the sun had mostly dissapeared but the clouds started doing some crazy stuff and I think that in the thirty six pictures I shot that I should have gotten something worth working with. I am going to take it to Costco and drop it in the one day development so I can get the pics the day after. I actually have four rolls I need developed. Maybe I should just take all of them. I would like to do the one hour development, but it just isnt worth the money. Especially if I am developing four rolls. When I got home, Mum said simply 'You need to go digital'. Easy for her to say with her Nikon D70...a badass digital. But you can get one for just under a thousand now and I am thinking about it. But it really comes down to what I would use more...that or music gear. A thousand bucks would get me an 8 channel recording box and a few different mics to record with. I think that is the better investment.
I have to call my guitar teacher. Well..my ex-guitar teacher...I plan to go back to lessons once I can play more than I do...although I have practiced solidly for a week now. My Mum and he were talking and she mentioned the pain that I am feeling when I play and he said he has some recomendations. Yesterday was a lot of fun for me when it came to playing. I started off playing 'All Along the Watchtower', Dave Matthews Band style. I forgot how much fun it was to play that song. I would love to play that song live with a band.
I think that tommorow [info]charmedelle and I are going to watch 'High Fidelity'. I am still amazed that she hasn't seen that movie. Such an amazing film. It says volumes about life and music. I actually love how they dont lobby with any band in particular. Well...kinda...they really pimp the music of Marvin Gaye...but that is to be expected. he wrote some amazing stuff. 'Lets Get It On' is so cool...and hearing Jack Black sing it is one of the highlights of the movie.
My LJ is acting weird. If I am in rich text mode, it doesnt go to the next line when I am writting unless I hit enter...so there are just a whole bunch of long lines that are hard to read, although it come out alright when previewed. Craziness.
I want to have a music studio!
Wow...sorry for the outburst....although I think that my whole day has been that day. I have felt so ADD today. I was just yelling random things at work today. It was actually really fun. Lauren drove by and I yelled 'Damn skanky ho!' and Drew was just like 'What the fuck bro...who were you saying that too?' becuase there wasn't anyone in the store. I had to explain it to him...cracked him up. Then I started saying random things from Bash.org that were really fucked up and he was just laughing so hard.
Okay...I need to practice some guitar.
On a note of music, check out the song 'Relax' by Lynch Mob. It is a power ballad that is really fucking good. I love Party Shuffle...it introduces me to a lot of music I didn't know I had.
Only four days until my hair cut. And there goes all of my superpowers!!! Ha...only if I get it all cut off. And I think that was just God telling all of us musicians that if you let a woman cut off all of your hair becuase you are a whipped little bitch, you deserve to lose your powers. And wow...that is an example of my inner-monologue being bypassed. Interesting. Hey...in vinum veritas...of course, there has been no wine today...or any alcohol for that matter. But I am more truthful when being spontaneous.
I am hungry...I need to eat something before I practice or else I will probably flip out and have a bad session.
Off I am to raid the fridge....Arrr....may I return with booty...and some food...
