w00t~!
Apart from my audacious feeling, which did subside today... thanks, today was... well.. it was awesome, but also bastardly, but mostly awesome......
A'right, school... eh, nothing new... let's fast forward through the 6 hours of life that does not matter...
Now here's the awesome/bastardly part at the same time... Flashback to yesterday, when I went to get some food at goldhouse, I walked into Northern Lights to look for a nicely priced used guitar for the purpose of enjoyment with the stringed piece of wood. And I noticed a pretty nice one. It was a Harmony electric. I plugged it in, gave it a ride, sounded good... not excellent, but good enough for the purpose of learning on. But what drew me in was the $89 price tag. I was like "Score!"... So, I told one of the employees that I'd be back tomorrow to pick it up (because I didn't have enough cash on hand at the time... though i could've place the downpayment to make sure.. but.. eh, what did i care.. it would be there when i come back)... So the dude says "Ok." Return to today... I cash my paycheck and head to NL to pick up my geeeetar. Only when I get in there, .... yeah, it's gone.. not there. I first figured "Ok, I reserved it so they might've taken it off the stock and put it in the back or something...". So I ask the guy at the register if they had it... and he said that they had sold it. I had assumed that he was talking about me, so I was like "yeah, i'm here to pick it up." But he sold it to someone else..... Pissed off? Ripped shit? Hell yeah! ... They sold it out right from under me. And the guy tried to explain... There wasn't a reserve sticker on it so it was still on the shelf... ... and because of that, someone ripped it out from under me.... Fuck. I was madder than hell and I let them know it too.
So, I get in my car... thought about going home angered... but as i'm driving down main street, i'm like "No! I'm getting a damn guitar today!".. so i pull over next to the other music shop American Class Music or something liek that.. and i look at the selection. And I see a nice little used Yamaha... got set up, let it rip... had an awesome sound, even better than the Harmony I had tried out the day before. I said I liked this one... looked at the price tag.. a little steeper at 125... but the way I see it, that yamaha will last me longer than the Harmony would've. So I got more bang for the buck, in my eyes.
So I took my new toy home and let it have it... printed out some tabs to start learning some tunes. I did know how to play guitar before, but I'm still going to have to get used to strumming chords rather than slapping bass beats. I'll get some pics of the girl on some time tomorrow, probably
Went to the game tonight... guys team played our bitter rivals, the Spartans. And we 0wned them. It was an awesome game... and I think that Tim R. is fucking inhuman. No one that good exists in northern New Hampshire. The way he played tonight further proves my theory that he could be a powerful division-1 college forward.
Got further compliments from citizens I don't know on my multi-talented music abilities after throwing down on the drumset for the pep band. It really is humbling to get all these compliments.
Anyway, the game really wore me out just watching it... so, sleepy time for all Bobbo's...
later days
