party all night, sleep all day
Well, Friday came and went. Pushed my way through school, anticipating this moment... bell rings... w00t!
So yeah, plans for a little pre-scheduled shindig at my house were in full effect. Got a case of Mountain Dew for the occasion.... Pete was the first to show up at 4:30... wasn't quite expecting him so early.. he came baring gifts of... more Mountain Dew ... all was well with the world. We watched a little Drew Carey... . Ryan B. showed up about an hour later. by now, i've already downed 2 dews. So, the assembles... (ie: the rest of the 6 of them that already weren't there)... And we were just chillin out for the most part, looking and listening to the crazy random shit that's on my computer... talking about funny shit... eatin pizza.... I showed off my mad skills on the guitar and bass, playing the few songs I know... We watched Office Space (spectacular movie)...
mad fun times..........
Now there are Mt. Dew and Dr. Pepper cans littered everywhere and I have no resolve right now to pick them up. In the morning.... I know that I drained about 5 dews and 3 peppers.... but Pete was a machine, downing 9 dews and a 20 oz. of Dr. Pepper before he arrived.... He's going to be pissing dew for a week. It was a good time. I'm glad all my friends showed up, it was great to do this sort of thing on a Friday night
I wrote my first riff for the guitar. It's actually pretty basic, but it sounds cool... especially with the pedal on. I was playing it when Pete first arrived and he said he thought it was the radio ... so I take that as it sounds pretty good. After the fiesta got over and everyone left, I thought I'd to match the guitar riff with a bassline... luckily, i've written at least 12 different bass lines over my time and the first one i thought it sounds like it'd fit the guitar riff pretty well. I like the bassline with the wah pedal on, but I don't think I'm going to keep it on as it might distract from the guitar riff. I downloaded a sound recorder from the internet that includes layering of files. And I think I'm going to start putting my written material on the computer. Then to see if some sound good together, I can layer the files together and hear them together...
But anyway... Ryan B. over the past 2 days in music tech restrung my guitar for me as I broke my A string and needed some new strings anyway... I figured it was extremely similiar, if not exactly the same, as restringing a bass guitar, but i couldn't be exactly sure.. maybe there was some like ... secret trick or whatver. So he taught me how to restring it... and it is exactly like a bass... and so, i was good to go. After not playing the guitar for 2 weeks, i was itching to get back into it. I had gotten Elixirs brand strings, which I <3 muchly,... very durable and a great sound to boot.... well, around an hour ago... with my fresh new strings not even a half day old, my E string decides to break...... me = not impressed... good thing I had another set of strings... so i bolt upstairs and get my replacement E string on. I'm hoping this one last longer than 10 hours.... I know why it happened... it's because I play guitar really hard, much harder than i should... and that's because I'm a bassist at heart... as a bassist, I'm so used to playing downright hard on it..... and when I break my fair share of strings, I'll realize to lighten up....
I'm so wired on caffeine right now. Here it is 1:19 AM and sleep is like the last thing that I can do right now.. I can't even try it cuz i know i'll just end up laying in bed for like 2 hours.. tossing and turning... thinking... thinking.. thinking... I'm thinking that it won't be until 3:00 or thereafter until i get some sleep, which probably isn't a good thing, but... meh... what're you gonna do, right?
Anyway....
