The spring semester begins next week. I want to worry less about Brangelina and more about my own life. I’d like to document things that actually matter to me instead of cute frogs dancing on lily pads. The next few years of my life should be worth something to document instead of looking back at old posts and wondering why I spent so much time getting caught up in youtube videos. I’m sure there will be more of that. I’m not limiting myself. I just want to be able to review my life and see that there was something important there, not just the Double Rainbow guy.
Tumblr seems to be a bad place to do this because everyone on here reposts animated gifs, but I’m giving it a shot.
Upcoming School Schedule:
Introduction To Structured Programming English Writing 301 (1B)
Calculus I
I’m reading a book for my English class already. I gave the book a sneak peek, and it consumed me. Check out The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.
In other news, I’m trying to record demos. I started with “Vampire” because I’d already recorded a version of it, and I thought it would be the easiest. I laid down the acoustic guitar and electric guitar tracks on top of a fat beat that sounds like it’s straight out of nineties rap music. However, the beat is just a tempo keeper. My drummer will lay down the beat when I finish vocals and send it over. That could be a while though. I just got sick yesterday. I’m trying to keep on task and record guitar tracks for other songs this weekend. Hopefully I’ll impress myself and actually do it. I’m so involved with finishing school that it makes the idea of making a record daunting. I don’t have an unlimited flow of cash for a decent studio to press record for me. Sure, I can finish the demos and send them to my band, but then what? We could end up stalling for years. These thoughts hold me back from pouring more money into music. Besides, laying my sick ass down in bed, sipping on a hot cup of tea, and reading up on Oscar Wao sounds tempting.
I’m sure I will do it all. I am lazy, but I like being productive in my laziness. That usually means that I stay in my bedroom whenever I can, and I get things done inside of this box. Recording and studying are both possible for me in the exact spot I am right now. I will be a productive little hermit during the next five months.
