I don't really write journals that often. I can see the list of journals I have written and notice that I USED to write journals often. I can also see the ones where I tried to be all socially poignant with brilliant commentary and jazz. That's funny stuff. I guess I can give a life cap?

I have a house now. I've been living in an apartment with my mother for the better part of four years now. We moved here when my high school (Pioneer Valley Performing Arts) moved here. But now we're moving out, to a house! This is important because now, I can be loud ALL THE TIME. My mother never goes to sleep, she's a career programmer who works from home. When she's not working she's playing EverQuest (shes |337) so, I can rock out literally whenever it occurs to me to do so. This is because I no longer have directly adjacent neighbors who sleep like normal people. This is also because we now have a basement, which I will utterly transform into a brilliant studio space.

I'm also in a band now. We're not entirely organized yet. It's just three guys so far: Guitar player Grant whom you guys may remember, myself, and one other friend named Erik. We're all basically waiting on the move to my new house to happen, since that's where our musical forces will combine to rock the world.

Uhm, college is wrapping up. I don't really bitch about finals because I'm a music major, and either all our classes are depressingly easy or I'm just a nerd. I'm probably a nerd.

I need to get a job.

Oh and I've discovered I can't really write techno stuff anymore :< I'm in perma rock mode and making the kind of stuff I was all about back in the day is hard now. Grant tells me it's just a phase, cause I never had real instruments before. So now that I do all I want to do is guitar stuff. Which seems completely plausible.

I'm going to go play Crysis Wars now and predator up some noobs.

oh hey a poll function. when did that happen?

I couldn't possibly vote in your poll, because, although the electric guitar is my very favourite instrument to listen to, I'm a keyboard player, and sometimes the piano is just perfect for certain moods.

As for you not writing techno stuff anymore, for me personally that's a good thing, give me rock anyday!!

Rock mood is a good mood. Man, I've been trying to start a band for ages but no one wants to play with me. Fortunately, I'm at the point in my life where I can proficiently play everything so I may try to just do a solo thing. I really want to start a psychedelic revival group, though. Bring back all the vocal layering, key changes and secondary dominants people thought they left behind in the sixties . . . Plus bell-bottoms! (Which I look absolutely sexy in fyi)

Also: If you live anywhere near Phoenix, AZ or Shawnee, OK we need to jam.

Also^2: it is of great incumbency that I inform you that I am just about five days older than you.

Congrats on the house man! Apartments are terrible, at least in my opinion, and I don't plan on going back if I could ever help it..

But all this sounds like the start of quite an amazing development: a band and a place to be loud and accepted without someone shoving the end of a broom stick through the drywall..lol.

That's interesting about the musical taste change you had there. I hadn't had a proverbial musical mood swing like that in a while. In most cases, should I get that bored/discouraged, I'll make several songs inside of one file as I feel comfortable with. Got certain saves with like 30 completely different patterns (melodies/songs) from mode changes. Maybe you could try genre smashing?

Well I hope everything works out with these new developments. Also, I wouldn't mind joining you in a few rounds of Crysis Wars whenever you get a chance. I'm not the best; but, not really the worst either..guess I'll let you decide ;P
