Really?
Andres and Fiona?
I was not expecting that at all.
That was totally out of the blue and left field.
I mean, what?
I guess I just don't know enough about Fiona, man.
Gotta get on top of these things.
Oh, and find a girlfriend as well.
Man...

Editing
ARGH.
Sometimes, I wish that I knew how to work FCP, just so that I could laugh in the face of iMovie and say, "Look, I got it done and you couldn't do it! Hahahahaha!"
Still probably couldn't do it though.

Soon-To-Be Guitar
So I'm gonna get a guitar.
It's an Oscar Schmidt OG3.
I found it on Craigslist.
And you know what else I've found?
I've found out about different parts of the guitar, about what wood makes which sounds, about brands, about what the heck the action is, and the nut, and the bridge. Pretty much I've learned almost all that a beginner could know about a guitar, without actually playing it.
Oh, and I've also learned that other people find my guitar AWESOME.
Hecks-to-the-YE'ES.

Daylight Saving Time
Goodness gracious, it is that time of year again.
The time when everyone curses their lives and days and has to wake up an hour earlier than they want to.
Except for Arizona.
Friggin' Arizona.
Let's move to Arizona guys.

Gah
I've almost forgotten what it's like to feel good, I've been in pain or sick for so long.
My eyes are all dried up. Taking out contacts tomorrow.
Oh, and I had about 2,000% of my daily vitamin c.
Life. What the hell.

Something Different
I tried to make this into a song, but I couldn't find the right words, so instead I'll use sentences.
So I read an article about the nature of Indie the other day, about how it was dead, about how we killed it.
And one of the descriptions that was given of this dying Indie thing was that of the elephant and the 7 blind men: How each blind man touched upon only one part of the elephant, and forged his own interpretation of it from that flawed viewpoint.
I believe that's true, I guess (not really deeply into the Indie scene myself, but still). Indie is the elephant, composed of vastly different parts, so varied that no one is exactly sure what It is, but forging their views just the same.
What do people say Indie is? It's a way of doing business separate from the Man, complying under your own rules. Or maybe it's that general style of music, different from today's popular crap under any terms, be it folk to electronica and anything in between. Perhaps it's music for music's sake? What does that even mean?
My own question is; what does Indie music sound like? Does it give off a bit of authenticity, or is it all just a show, put on to look different and pretty from what is already out there?
And if it's out there to just look different, to just put on a show, who can say whether or not that's bad?
People are always saying, "Oh, what you need to do is look different, be different." "Remember, we're all unique here." "Show who you are on the inside."
But sometimes people, when trying to open up, get shoved to the wayside by the multitudes of people they're trying to connect with, who are the very reason why they're spilling their hearts out, without a single response in return.
They're alone with only their thoughts and feelings, and that's not enough to sustain a life. You can't just sit alone, you gotta meet these mobs and crowds, this general public. You have to get to know who they are. And if they don't listen to you, or look at you, or even acknowledge you for what you are right now, then you're going to have to be different in a way none expect.
You're going to have to show these others that what you do is so amazing, so astounding, that they have to pause and stare. You have to reach out and stop them from racing along this labyrinth we call life and make them listen to something else, a tune that brings them along on a different pace.
What you do to be different is important. If you're able to stand around and just be quiet, attracting others at random, then that's fine by me. But to get them listening to a noise of something other than their own squawking voices, then you have to get their attention by doing something different, something crazy.
Something Indie.
