Hello Again
What's new, livejournal? You look the same to me. Oh wait, I can mark it as having adult content? Why would I do that? There are no repercussions, are there? Another example of the man trying to get us to self-censor ourselves using scare-tactics, disinformation and misinformation! And uninformation! All the bad types of information. No wonder I haven't been here.
I just checked 'No Adult Content' and in an act of defiance I'm going to type this: I don't even know how much I have invested in my 401k at this point.
So a lot has happened since I last typed here. For example, Barrack Obama is in the news a lot. Apple is coming out with a new iPhone. There has been a new trailer for The Dark Night. The Carlos of January wouldn't be able to make heads or tails of todays increasingly fast-paced world. But since I wasn't unconscious for 5 months I adapted quite well. I even solved a cryptoquote.
In the music area of my life things have been going good. We have completed our album which we decided to name, on my suggestion, 'Eponymous Debut' and let me tell you, it's a hit. Critics everywhere agree. Our album title is already coming up with over 200,000 hits on google. Mixing and Mastering was done by a unique character known as Stickle. He listens to a wide range of music but somehow still manages to hate most of the music you bring up. Maybe he liked their earlier stuff. That guy had a lot of contrasting opinions but usually we didn't argue with him because he always seemed so convinced already.
There was one time were we all argued about evolution (all 4 members were usually present at the sessions, 1 had made a remark in the past, I remember, that he didn't believe in evolution and he was not really involved in the debate) that we decided not to let go right away. He is very skeptical of everything about evolution, from the evolutionists to the creationists and intelligent design-ists. They're all wrong. So, he made a bunch of bad arguments and we made a bunch of good ones but when the other party assumes all the facts are made up by scientists to reinforce their own leanings what can you say? Sometimes you just need to have faith in the scientists. You just need to look into your heart and you will feel that what they are saying is the truth. That's what separates us from those ignorant intelligent design supporters.
But he did a good job and besides that was a nice guy. He entertained us with long stories about his seedy past and we would make bizarre jokes that he would try to not laugh at because that would kind of ruin his image. We did make him laugh out loud at least twice I think because we are all better humorists than musicians.
More music news: I'm pretty great at the ukulele now. I Tiptoe Through the Tulips with the best of them. Next, I'd like a banjo, thank you! I learned to play it at the local Guitar Center and texted a recording to several people knowing it will get passed on further to their complete phone book and on and on in the fashion of a virus.
I also am reading a book called "This is Your Brain on Music" that is very interesting despite the title. It's about the psychology , neuroscience, etc. of music. Why we like certain aspects of music, where the different aspects are processed in the brain, etc. etc. etc. There is a large amount of etc. involved in the book. While a lot of it is a drawn-out way of saying "because you were conditioned to like it" if you think about it, there are still a lot of other interesting things. For example, did you know that Rock and Roll was created by the devil? Did you know that I'm bored with music already? Let's move on.
I read this other book about a man who lives a year interpreting the bible as literally as possible. It was ok. Easy to read. They guy is kind of annoying. I hope he loses his children in some sort of accident.
My sister wants me to start going to church. I said I'd try but I haven't. Probably because I have better things to do on a Sunday morning like sleep. Then some Mormons came over and I told them I'd try to read their joke of a bible. They told me they know there's a god because they feel him when they ask if he exists. I told them I'd tried that before and didn't feel anything. So back off, Mormons losers! Go back to your excessively friendly church and happy homes!! Who needs to be that upbeat all the time? Not me. I hope they lose their faith if something tragic, which I also hope, happens to their children.
Maybe I should try something religious again, though. What do you think kids?!
In my non-music-related life there is nothing much to tell but I'll probably try to tell it anyways, later, in future installments. This was just a primer entry. My next entries are going to grow more and more exciting and adult-themed as they will be chronicling my rock rise to fame and fortune. So stay tuned!
