I still live.
I'm back, finally. I meant to update yesterday morning right before I left for work, but the toilet kept making fun of me so I thought that I would go give him a little crap myself.
I guess I'll start with work things first, since that does take up most of my life right now.
It's still going really good. The day before yesterday I was the only door hanger working in my line because my team mate decided to call in sick and the other guy had to go take another guy's place in another line. I had to work my ass off. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I work in the big trailor line. A lot trailors that come through my line have multiple doors and take about twice as long as the rest of the trailors in the warehouse. Luckily the line leader did give me some help from time to time. I was really worn out. I wish I could've done more on my first true day of testing. I made up for it yesterday, though. For once everything was really working out. I was able to complete a large ramp, a normal door, and almost another large ramp on another trailor before my team mate was finished with just one door. He came up to me and said "Damn, you're fast, I mean. . . you're getting faster at this. I plan on trying to step it up another notch today. I will become the master door hanger before the month is over with. That's just the way it has to be.
Besides work there hasn't been much else that has happened. I've been trying to use the little free time I have to hang out with Tonya and Syd. Tonya has been helping me out a lot on World of Warcraft since she is now the Warcraft Queen. She even holds a really high rank in a Guild full of Australians. One of the members has already confessed his love for her. She got me the hook up and I am now also in this Guild. God, we are awesome! Syd and I have been doing the typical cartoon watching, drawing animals, and playing with her stuffed animals. She stood at the porch door last night and watched me do my Samurai stuff for the first time. I was trying to get in my oh so serious Samurai Assassin mood, but all I heard the whole time was her yelling "Hey Daddy Brown Dog!" So I was Daddy Brown Dog Samurai for a night.
I have decided to dedicate more of my early morning time to music again. There's no turning back this time. I mean it. I got this aresenal of some awesome songs that I've really put a lot of emotion into. I'm not giving up on them anymore. The job I have now has made me lose even more control of my fingers, but I don't care. If it just gets to where I can't play the things I use to, I'll slow the songs down. I simply enjoy writing music. As long as it's music I like, I'll write it. I don't care if I have to do it all digitally through a program on my computer. I'm gonna finish these songs no matter what way. I don't even care if nobody likes them. I love them. As far as my mind is concerned these songs will construct the greatest album ever written. I'm not bragging about my music, that is just the way I really feel. Why would I write stuff I don't like. Feeling that way will make me want to write even more music. What's better than writing the greatest album in the world? Writing an even better album. I believe that every musician should feel that their music is the greatest stuff they've ever heard. If you don't then you are wasting your time.
I will put up links to the songs as I finish them, but it's gonna be a while. I want everything to be done before I upload it. That includes vocals, drums, any special effects, whatever. Some songs don't have all the lyrics or melody yet, so it could take me some time.
I think that is enough blabber. After this week there will be three weeks where I don't work 6 10 hour days so I'm sure I'll be posting more and will be available online a little bit more. I'm sure everybody is so excited! Bye Bye.
